Wishful Love

chapter 8

At lunch, Chloe sat down at her once popular table. Now everyone was scattered elsewhere, mostly gathered around the table with Lila Rossi. Ugh. Other than marinette Du-pen-cheng, Chloe hated Lila. It was so obvious she fibbed, and everyone seemed to believe her.

As Chloe stared across the room at Luka once again, Adrien sat down beside her.

"Okay, Chloe, what is with you?" he asked.

"What are you talking about?" Chloe had long Since given up going after Adrien. He was just a friend now.

"Chloe, all week you've been daydreaming, and your father called last night. Where did you go?" Chloe blushed bright red. She didn't know she'd caused such trouble.

"Its none of your business." Chloe crossed her arms and looked away from Adrien.

"Chloe, please, I've known you forever. Something's been bugging you lately, and I just Want to make sure your okay." Adrien's words were so sympathic. Chloe knew that he also truly cared for her. Chloe leaned in nearer to him.

"Promise not to tell anyone?" Chloe looked cautiously back and fourth.

"Yes." Adrien said. His brows knitted upon his head in confusion. Chloe couldn't believe what she did next.

"Ihaveacrushonlukacouffaine!" Chloe said quickly but quietly. Instead of the humiliating laugh she had expected Adrien to give, his eyes turned huge.

"I knew it! That's why your always staring at his table, and you were with him last night, weren't you?" Adrien was now beaming.

"Don't tell anyone anything or I will ruin your reputation Adrien Agreste." Chloe said, a bit darkly. Adrien winked.

"Secrets safe with me. But are you gonna tell him?"

"Tell who what?" Chloe said curiously.

"When are you going to tell Luka you have a crush on him?" Chloe slapped Adrien.

"How about never!"

"Why not Chloe?" Adrien asked, rubbing at the spot where she had hit him. Chloe sighed.

"Because he wouldn't like me back. No one does. I'm just a rich spoiled brat." that was the sad truth chloe thought.

"Chloe, how could you say something like that? Your amazing. Sure, you might have a little bit of issues, but you'll solve them. And Luka would totally like you back."

"How do you know?"Chloe was definitely shocked at the truth in Adrien's words.

"Well I know he cares for you." Adrien picked up his tray and started to bring it back to the cafeteria.

"What do you mean?" now Adrien was being more confusing than ever.

"You'll see." Adrien winked, then went off to join his other friends. Chloe just sat by, trying to analyze his words.

After school Chloe dragged herself down to Mrs. Bousiae's classroom. Some students gave her a few odd looks, but she just shrugged them away.

"Yes?" Chloe asked hesitantly to her teacher when she entered her class room.

"Ah! Chloe thank you for coming." Mrs. Bousiae said, as she smiled. "Your grades, I'm afraid are not doing very well."

Chloe crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "I already know that." Chloe really had no desire to talk about her failure at the moment.

"Well, Chloe I was thinking that perhaps you could boost your grades up with some help." Chloe gave a confused look as Mrs. Bousiae continued.

"What I'm saying is, maybe if you had a tutor to help you, your grades could improve." Mrs. Bousiae said.

"I don't need a tutor!" Chloe said, practically yelling. She really didn't want anyone to know about her falling grades. Having a tutor would point that out quite well.

"Chloe, I know having a tutor doesn't exactly sound like fun, but-"

"No! I can manage my grades myself!" Feeling quite flushed and annoyed, Chloe stomped out of the class room. She kept on going down the halls until she reached her locker. She sighed out of her bad behavior. How did people do it? How could you possibly hold all your anger inside when you could just speak your mind?

"Hey Chloe." said a familiar voice. Chloe almost jumped off her feet. There in front of her was Luka, smiling radiantly.

Not from me: what do you all think? And anyone else still recovering from the new epsidoe Ladybug? We had a good Chloe moment there at 6:19. She was fighting off the acumas from her and Sabrina. I love that girl
