I have an announcement to make!
I removed the vote in chapter two. Why? Because I decided I'm going to keep writing this story until I find a good part for an ending.
(Don't worry, there will be an epilogue after the end!)

When Marinette and Alya arrived at the park, most of their classmates who had said they would come were already there.

Chloé was closely examining her nails to make sure they hadn't gotten chipped, and Sabrina was chatting away excitedly to her, apparently not caring whether Chloé was listening or not.

Rose (due to the fact that Juleka wasn't there yet), Mylene and Kim were all playing a game of soccer-ish with a random red dodgeball they had found that someone had previously left.

Max was working away at his homework while sitting on a nearby bench in order to avoid having to complete it later.

Adrien was ranting to Nino about how stressful the life of a model can be, with the nearly-daily photoshoots, the fangirls, etc. while Nino was listening to music, but he still appeared to be listening to what Adrien was saying.

"Hey peeps!" Alya greeted all of their classmates as her and Marinette strolled into the park, setting down their backpacks next to a bench and sitting down.

"'Sup?" Nino waved to her, still listening to music. Adrien stopped ranting about how annoying it was to be a model and greeted them both with a smile.

"H-Hey Adrien!" Marinette said with a slight stutter. Nino raised an eyebrow, mentally noting how she only greeted Adrien and not him. He just shrugged it off as nothing and resumed his music.

"Do you guys want to play a game of tag or something?" Alya asked her classmates.

"Nah, I'd rather play hide and seek," Nino countered.

"No way! Tag is better."
"Hide and seek beats all!"
"Tag is a classic!"
"So is hide and seek!"

The two went on bickering. "Look at those two, arguing over kid's games like a married couple," Adrien said to Marinette with a chuckle.

"Y-Yeah, it's pretty silly, isn't it?" Marinette responded. You could see the progress and effort she put into overcoming her stutter when talking to Adrien.

"WHAT!" Alya and Nino both shouted simultaneously and blushing deeply, turning away from each other.

"Alright, let's just have a vote," Marinette decided. "All in favor of playing hide and seek, raise your hand."

Nino, Max, and Rose each raised their hands. "Okay then, tag wins by a landslide. Alya will be 'It', since she's the one who wanted to play it in the first place," Marinette announced.

"Y'all have 10 seconds to run," Alya said threateningly, death glaring at each of them. Everyone immediately began to scatter.

"10."
"9."
"8."
"7."
"6."
"5."
"4."
"3."
"2."
"1."
"Begin!"

Alya immediately began targeting Marinette, seeing as she was her best friend.

"Hey, that's not fair! No targeting!" Marinette yelled as she was running from Alya.

"Well, there aren't any rules against it so— ha!" Alya replied as she caught up to Marinette and tagged her.
