The Perfect Boy

Mason

I think I spend longer on what to put in these author's notes more than I do writing the actual story...

Marinette POV

Well yesterday turned out to be a complete disaster and now I'll have to deal with being the laughing stock at school all because I don't have a date to the dance. Alya and I walked together from my home over to the school entrance.

"Maybe it's not too late to be homeschooled." I thought out loud.

Alya sighed. "Marinette, it's not that serious. Just come clean about the whole boyfriend thing, I doubt any of our friends are really going to care."

"Yeah, but what about Adrien? I don't think I can survive the embarrassment I'll feel facing him when he realizes that I lied about having a boyfriend. It'll be even worse if he finds out I said it because he was going to the dance with Chloe." I groaned into my palms.

"Girl chill, I'm sure everyone's forgotten about it already you need to relax." Alya patted my back to comfort me.

My heart almost stopped when I saw a blonde near the entrance of the school scrolling through his phone. I was about to make a run for it in the other direction, but it was too late, he already spotted the two of us.

He smiled and put his phone back in his pocket and walked in our direction. I felt myself wanting to jump in the nearest bush, but Alya had her grip on my jacket keeping me in place. "Oh no you don't." She whispered.

Adrien approached us, still smiling with that gorgeous smile of his. "Hey Alya." He looked around for a moment as if he was searching for someone. "Have you seen Nino by any chance?"

"Nino's still at his place, he's doing me a favor. He'll probably be here later in the afternoon." Alya replied.

"Oh okay." He looked over to me, and I really wish I was hiding in that bush. "Hi Marinette."

"H..Hi..." I managed to stutter a gretting. Why did he have to have this effect on me?

"So...um...I heard you were dating somebody." My life is so over. "I'm glad you have someone to take you to the dance...I hope you have fun."

I wanted to run across the street and drown myself in the park fountain. If there was any possible chance I had of being with Adrien it was definitely gone now, especially once he finds out that the whole thing was a lie.

I sighed, it was best to tell the truth now before this got out of hand, even if it cost me what could possibly be left of my dignity. "Actually....Adrien, the truth is I don't really have-"

I wasn't able to finish what I was about to say since I was tackled at the side by Rose who was followed by Juleka and the rest of our friends.

"Marinette is it true that you're dating someone?!" Rose beamed up at me.

"Congratulations." Juleka smiled.

"I knew you'd fine someone special." Mylene voiced.

Alix punched my shoulder and I winced from the slught pain. "Why'd you keep this from us Mar?" She said with a smirk.

I can feel the sweat dripping from my face as I realized the situation was getting more out of hand by the second. "Girls the thing is I don't actually...."

"You're boyfriend Mason, is so nice!" Rose said happily. "How come you didn't mention him before?"

I blinked. "What are you talking about?"
