All through the week, you did your homeworks, seatworks and such. It all comes down to the day you've feared for a long time.

Friday.

Suddenly, someone grabs you on your shoulders.

"Hey, Y/N!"

You stare. "Oh, hey, Nino." You raise an eyebrow. "What do you want?"

"I'm just trying to remind you that we're all going to your house later!" The boy grins. You sigh, looking to the side, seeming uninterested. You mutter something under your breath, but luckily, he didn't notice.
"So, yeah! See you soon, my dude!" Nino walks away, as he slowly waves at you. You wave back, only a bit weaker.

Walking inside the classroom, you were greeted by a force so strong, it was sucking the air out of you. The force belongs to none other than Alya Cesaire.

You grunt, silently pleading for the girl to let you go.

"Yoooo, Y/N! Aren't you excited? We're finally gonna do a project as a team of friends!"

You worriedly smile and thought about how messy the kitchen will be later. You took a deep breath and exhaled, pushing yourself out of Alya's grip. You sent her a small smile. "So excited."

You were so delighted they didn't see your true emotions. You turn around from looking at her and went to go up the stairs, until you bumped into someone's chest. You look up a bit and it was him again.

He waved. "Hey, Y/N."

"Adrien," you said in a small voice. "What do you want?"

"Nothing, really. I-- uh," he trailed off. Feeling a little bit awkward, you move to the right, but he moves to the same way you were going for. You looked at him and he looked at you, a small chuckle escaping his lips. You stepped to the other side, and he stepped to the other, facing you once again. You furrowed your eyebrows as he tried to laugh normally. You continued to do this for atleast 5 seconds, until you placed your hand over his chest to stop him completely.

He remained frozen, so you took your cue and stepped to the opposite of him, walking towards your chair. You felt a shudder coming down your spine. The most awkward thing happened.

The class started, and your first subject teacher entered the room. It went on for some time, before hearing the bell rang.

Everyone was already out and the five of you were left behind. You packed your things slowly, seeing the four of them were still talking while packing as well. Your chair was a little far from theirs, but it's not a problem when they're always loud in class so you're far from getting in trouble. Strapping your backpack on your shoulders, you walked down the stairs, slightly hearing their voices, but not understanding what they're saying.

While Marinette was talking, she took notice of you and her face changed. "Oh! Hey, Y/N!" They all looked at you.

Your eyes widened slightly. "Um? Should we go, or I'm interrupting you guys?" You tilted your head slightly in an unsure way.

Alya chimed in. "Nah, it's okay, girl. The conversation was probably nothing. Let's go, team!"

"Woohoo!" Nino screamed, echoing through the halls.
