La Red

-.-

D/C: I own nothing.

-.-

Kagami didn't need to calm her nerves when she approached the city's library at the center of the city. There was no reason to be nervous. This is a time that had no room to be nervous. Right now, is the time to be assertive... if only Felix would stop following her.

"Why are you following me?" Kagami asked, sending the blonde a withering stare.

"Homework?" Felix shrugged; he then rolled his eyes when Kagami glare deepened. "Witness. On the odd chance that Rossi girl comes by and attempts to spin her tale."

Once more, the glare deepened.

"I might have recorded yesterday's interactions."

"You should have said that first."

"Perhaps."

Kagami and Felix made their way to the library, with the former wondering she's doing the right thing. There could be a massive chance that Marinette could very well turn her away due to her association with Adrien. Then there also the chance that Adrien or even Lila had gotten in contact with her in an attempt to spin some tall tale. This whole entire interaction could go one way or another.

"We're here." Felix said as he and Kagami now stood in front of the massive library.

"And there's Marinette with someone." Kagami pointed out to two teens that were sitting on the front steps of the massive library. They were both occupied with Marinette's sketchbook, muttering over a possible design.

"Do you want the recording?" Felix asked, lifting up his bookbag to emphasize words.

"I was under the belief you will be there like the supposed friend you make yourself to be." Kagami questioned, with an eyebrow raised at his direction. This earned her an eye roll from Felix.

"We are not friends. At most, we are just classmates." Felix stated without much care.

"Do you want to settle on whether or not if we are friends or just classmates?" Kagami challenged.

"Please, like this could be disputed-"

Several minutes later...

"You two sound and act like close friends if you ask me." Marinette couldn't help but giggle at the sight of Kagami giving her friend a look of triumph while Felix rolled his eyes at her actions. All four of them, her, Nino, Kagami and her friend, Felix were sitting at a secluded table in the massive library. Then, Marinette's entire demeanor shifted to worry and confusion. "I thought Adrien was..."

"My first friend?" Kagami finished. She gave Felix a side-glance before looked back at Marinette. "Felix and I have been classmates since I moved out here from Japan."

"I've recently become her new pincushion." Felix supplied.

"Pincushion?" Nino whispered to Marinette, who looked just as confused as herself at Felix's words.

"Has... Adrien spoke to you as of late?" Kagami asked, she needed to know how much Marinette knows before she could proceed.

"We've been ignoring his calls and texts." Nino responded.

Marinette nodded in agreement. She pulled out her phone to show the many missed calls and texts from not only from Adrien but also from many of her classmates. "I haven't spoken to him since... yesterday, and that was because we were assigned to do classwork together. Why... did something happen?"
