Chloe's POV

I paced around my room, debating on if I should text Nathaniel or not. Looking down at my text conversation open on my phone. My hands shaking as I slowly thought of what to type out. After a few taps, rereading the message constantly just to make sure I hadn't messed up, I used up my last bit of confidence and pressed the send button.

Chloe: Hey, would you maybe wanna hang out today?

 Another bubble flew in, and I breathed a sigh of relief as my mind had released its grip on my heart.

Nathy💕: Yeah sure. Where do you want to meet up?

I was stunned. My eyes scanned the message from left to right, seeking a hidden meaning. Oh my gosh, oh my gosh oh my-! O-kay...calm down Chloe...you're just hanging out. Nothing serious, and nothing to worry about.       

Chloe: How about that new cafe that opened up recently. Meet up there in half an hour?

Nathy💕: Sounds good. See you soon :)

Chloe: see you! 😄

I squealed in excitement at his response. Nath just agreed to hang out with me!! Maybe he actually wants to be with friends with me... maybe he could even...! I-I.... no...That would never happen. He'd never see me that way after everything I've done. I sighed, walking towards the bathroom to get ready for the meetup. After going through my morning routine, I decided to curl the tips of my hair for a change and let it flow past my shoulders. Standing up, I browse through my closet to find the perfect outfit. It's started to get a bit chilly so, I should dress up more for the fall-like weather. Finally, my eyes stumbled upon the perfect outfit.

After putting on my outfit, I went towards the elevator to meet my chauffeur in the lobby. After reaching the ground floor, I walked out towards the front doors,  where my driver was waiting. He stood outside the car and immediately opened the back door as I made my way over to him.

I glanced at the driver for a moment, and muttered a, "Thank you." before getting into the car.

"O-Of course Ms. Bourgeois..!" My driver replied, shock evident in his voice.

I've decided to be kinder to everyone around me. I have realized being unkind and disrespectful to everyone wasn't the right thing to do these past years. I just can't believe it took me this long to see it...

~5 minutes later~

The short drive, to the cafe, gave me a few minutes to collect my thoughts. Alright, I've made up with Marinette which is a start, now time for Nath. Why would he even wanna talk to me after everything? He's always so nice and sweet to everyone, while...god I'm such an idiot!  The car came to a direct stop in front of the cafe.
