Crush

"You're stupid, you know that?" Plagg threw the cheese and caught it in his mouth. "You are very stupid."

"Okay, okay, I get it." Adrien sighed. "I'm stupid, but I can't help it. Everytime I gather courage to tell her, but whenever I want to, I lose all those courage. I wonder what she's doing right now."

"Whatever, I don't care." Plagg exclaimed. "You're just gonna keep hurting her. You don't want to hurt her, do you?"

"No, no, I don't," Adrien looked down. "I don't want to hurt her, but how do I stop."

"Simple, you tell her who you are," Plagg shrugged.

"But don't you think she's going to be mad at me? You know, because I kinda did play her?"

"If she really loves you, then she will forgive you," Plagg said, coming close up to his face.

"Thanks, Plagg."

"Yeah, yeah, now give me the Camembert that I deserve!" Plagg exclaimed. "I ain't giving you advices for free!"

Adrien rolled his eyes, but didn't complain. After giving Plagg the cheese he deserved, he laid down on his bed and thought about what his kwami had said.

Am I really ready to tell her? But what if I mess everything up? Ladybug did say not to tell anyone, and she was going to he the first I tell.

Adrien, stop. You don't like Ladybug anymore. Remember you have Marinette.

He sighed. This was just so hard. Maybe if he just backed away from Marinette as Chat, Marinette would forget about him.

I just hope she wouldn't be mad at me.

Adrien walked I side the school, everyone seeming busy talking about something.

Hmm, I wonder what happened.

He met his best buddy at his locker. Nino waved back.

"So what's everyone talking about?" Adrien asked, feeling the need to know so he wouldn't he the only one left out.

"Oh, it's Lila. She's coming back," Nino shrugged as if it was no big deal. He ain't really care. Adrien and Marinette were already dating, so Lila had no chance.

"Oh," Adrien had thought it had been something more exciting. Turned out it was only Lila.

He and Nino started heading back to class. He gave Marinette and Alya a "hello, good morning" before sitting down.

Finally, as everyone had been waiting for, Lila walked, through the door. She waved at everyone, turn someone caught her eyes.

"Ah, it feels so good to he back again," She smiled. "I missed you all."

Adrien rolled his eyes. Lila didn't miss anyone but him, but he decided not to think much into it. He had to he polite anyways. "Yeah, hello Lila."

"Thank you." She looked up to see Marinette. The both of turn exchanged glares. "So where would I he sitting?"

"At your usual spot," Alya rolled her eyes. Everyone knew she wanted to sit next to Adrien. "Just because you moved, and came back, doesn't mean anything about the sitting spots changed."

"Alright, alright." Lila chuckled and headed to her usual spot. Right behind Marinette.

At lunch time, Marinette waited for Adrien to finish packing his books so they could head out together. It was turn that she realized that Lila was still in the room.

"What are you waiting for?" Lila smirked. She already knew perfectly well about Marinette's crush on Adrien. "Can you leave? I have to talk to Adrien alone."

"You have no right to tell Marinette to leave!" Adrien yelled as he stood up. "Let's go Marinette."

Marinette nodded and followed him. She couldn't help but smirk at Lila's confused face.

Lila walked out of turn class. She then stopped Rose when she caught her walking together with Juleka.

"Hey Rose. Do you guys know what's going on with Adrien and Marinette?"

Rose frowned, then smiled. "Oh, nobody told you? Well then, Adrien and Marinette are dating, that's what?"

"What?!" Lila couldn't believe the news. "That's not true! Marinette would never have the courage to confess to Adrien!"

Juleka smirked. "Actually, I'm pretty sure it was Adrien that confessed to Marinette."

Lila boiled with anger. "I came back here for nothing then?"

"What do you mean?" Juleka and Rose looked at each other.

"I mean... Nothing!" Lila huffed and started walking away. I only came back so I could confess to Adrien, but now I can't do that. Did Adrien really confess to her?! That piece of trash!

She headed outside, just in time to see Marinette and Adrien. Turning away, she started running.

But she didn't watch for traffic due to her anger, and she got ran over by a car.
