2: la vie en rose; edith piaf

"Alya!" I shouted, growing tired as I kept running just to catch up with her.
"Stop running!!!! I swear to god if I get to run one more block I will forcefully eat my kneecaps."

"How come you're so physically unfit?"
Alya, who was running from block to block, stopped and waited for me to regain composure. "－and what kind of threat is that? It's not me who's going to get hurt if you actually eat your knees."

"But you'll face the wrath of our mighty mother."

"Good point."

We both decided to stop running and just retreat to our humble abode when Ladybug quickly swung by along with the cheers from the people of Paris that once again she saved. I felt something fall and hit the ground but I paid no attention to it as I watched Ladybug jump from rooftop to rooftop with the help of her yo-yo.

I wonder how it feels like to be a hero, even just for a day...

"(y/n), look."Alya tapped my shoulder, gaining my attention as I looked at the direction her finger is pointing at. A book..?

"That must be the thing that hit the ground earlier."

Alya's lips twitched into an enthusiastic smile.

This woman is plotting.

"Why are you so happy about it? It's just a book and you don't even like books!"

Alya rolled her eyes and lightly smacked my cheek. A habit she had grown accustomed to when I can't read her thoughts.

I mean, WE ARE NOT TWINS!

How am I supposed to know what she's thinking???

"This is Ladybug's book!" she said with full certainity but I'm here to pop her bubble. "How are you so sure?" I asked.

"Do books magically fall from the sky?"

"No..."

Alya snapped her fingers directly in front of me, "Exactly! Plus, Ladybug swung by here earlier in such a hurry, maybe she's late for school or something."

"But it's a Saturday, we don't have classes on Saturdays."

Alya's aura dropped and it slightly made me feel bad for her. She badly wants to know who these heroes are but it's clear to me that we－no one, is allowed to know.

So I tried to make her feel better.

"Maybe she's going to her friend's house for a project or something." Her face then turned into an odd expression, as if she's trying to remember something.

"Wait. Aren't we supposed to go to Marinette's house today?"

I raised my eyebrow as I tried to remember a reason, "Why would we go there...?"

"I don't really know but I feel like we should go there－" Alya was then cut off by her phone ringing and playing its obnoxiously loud ringtone.

"hey, where are you guys? we're supposed to do our project at my house remember?"

shit...

Alya bit her lip, a habit of hers when she's lying. "We're on our way Marinette! We stopped to buy some materials first..."

I covered the speaker and whisper-shouted, "But we don't have ANY materials!"

Alya raised her fists in the air and shouted with such desperation, in a comedic way of course, "To the mall!!"

"SomethingjustcameupMarisowegottago bYE!" Alya quickly ended the call even before Marinette got the chance to say anything.

We bolted our way to the mall as fast as we can. Surprisingly, I can't feel my lungs and heart escaping out of my rib cage as I ran.

Did I develop some kind of power?

Have I been bitten by a radioactive spider?

Stay tuned on The Miraculous No One!
Only here on Disney Channel!

"I don't understand how you can laugh at such situation?" Alya asked in between breaths while she stopped for a while to cool down her whole body.

"Oh I don't know Alya."

"What do you mean 'you don't know'???!!"

I exhaled a sigh and a series of laughs followed, "Why did we run when we can ride a fucking bus, Alya! Modes. of transportation. exists."

"I－" Alya stopped thinking for a second and physically slapped her head. I couldn't contain my laughter so I laughed my hardest accompanied by Alya's.

"We are dumb."

"I second to that."

We entered the mall and finally bought the materials. After buying, we headed to Marinette's and this time, by taking the bus.

"Marinette!" Mrs. Dupain-Cheng called for her daughter but to no avail. She smiled sheepishly and told us to just go to her room.

Me and Alya made separate trails. She went to the comfort room while I went to Marinette's room.

I opened the door and cringed at the sight of the neatly posted pictures of Adrien Agreste. Me, Marinette and Alya had been friends since... I don't know. It's not that we've been friends since forever, I just have poor memory. Even though we already have a strong connection and we deeply support Marinette, I still cringe at the sight.

I decided to wander around the room and observed some of Marinette's designs when someone－more likely Marinette－stumbled down the stairs that lead to the balcony.

"Um...Hi!" Marinette waved and I shook my head with a small smile.

Clumsy as ever...

She stood up immediately and offered me a hug that I returned, hesitantly...

It's not that I hate her

I like her

A lot actually

And that's a problem.

For me, and if you don't see why it's a problem, sTAY TUNED ON DISNEY CHANNEL－

"Marinette! I'm so sorry for forgetting about the project－oh!" Alya gave me an all-knowing look to which I rolled my eyes out.

I let go of Marinette, and of course, she let go as well. The three of us sat down on Marinette's bed and talked about what students usually do when there's a project to be done...

To not talk about the project but to talk about life and how it has been treating you instead.

The project is due in two weeks, probably the reason why we don't see the need to rush things. Besides, the project is easy. We just need to make a poster about the environment and its impending doom.

Yes, impending doom.

So here we are, in Marinette's room

Talking about her one and only crush

Adrien Agreste.

I didn't listen to most of it since 1) the said boy doesn't really have an impact on me and 2) i'd rather update my blog than listen to Marinette fall in love with some other guy.

"How about you, (y/n)? Who do you like? I don't see you getting head over heels over someone. Do you even like someone? Is the lucky person close to us?"

Alya pursed her lips and raised a brow, forcing herself not to say anything. There's is NO WAY in hell that I'm going to tell her right now who I like.

Especially when it's her.

When it's Marinette that I like.
