Miraculously Complicated

Chapter 8

"I really messed up Tikki," Marin said in a upset tone as he was sewing a dress for one of friends.

"You got distracted Marin," Tikki tried to reassure him, "I'm sure this will blow over with Adrianna once you give her an apology."

"I have to make it up to her," Marin agreed, "I never been so irresponsible when it comes with her."

"All you have to do is make it up to her," Tikki stated, "You haven't really hung out with her in a while, have you?"

Marin sighed from what Tikki said. Then he looks at a photo of him and her at the beach, "no," He frowned as he didn't truly answer her question, "I haven't."

"You miss her, huh?" Tikki asked as she rested on his sewing machine.

Marin sighed as he wanted to get something off his chest, "I don't just miss her. I'm in love with her still."

"But your going out with Luna," Tikki states, surprised that Marin still had feeling for her. 

"I know," Marin stopped his sewing, "I guess that why this is so difficult." 

"Marin can I say something?" Tikki asked.

"Sure thing T," Marin comments as he leaned back on his chair to stare at the ceiling.

"Maybe you can start by taking baby steps to tell her how you feel," Tikki stated.

"But how?" Marin asked.

Tikki smiled as she went into his bag, "How about that project?" She says as she tried to carry the textbook.

Marin chuckles as he went to take it from her, "Don't hurt yourself. Maybe your right. I should first mend our friendship."

"Please complete your forms before your interview with the university," Natalie read off the directions set by her father.

"Yes, of course," Adrianna nodded as she set her things down.

"Your father is very proud," Natalie smiled as she handed her the forms.

"Yeah, yay New York..." Adrianna sighed.

Natalie nodded as she left her in her room. Adrianna sat in her beanbag chair in her room, staring, once again, at the new pictures above her bed, searching for the unbalance, the tilt. Not surprisingly, she couldn't find it.

"Oh, New York I hear they have the best cheese on pizza," Plagg sang hoping to make her smile.

"Yeah, I get to be what he wants me to be... perfect," Adrianna sighed.

"Well, is that what you want?" Plagg asked.

"I couldn't figure it out, and now my father will will decide for me once again. But maybe New York I can figure it out. It would be simple this way, I am content to do what my father told me to. He wants me to study fashion business which isn't a bad choice," Adrianna explained.

"Is Kitty Nior still not a option?" Plagg asked.

"And give up being Adrianna Agreste?" She chuckled as she shook her head, "Well, since Mister Bug keeps giving Miraculous out to other holders, one day he probably won't need me anymore.I don't know what else I wanna do. Even Marin figured it with becoming a designer in media and fashion. Now he's so busy to notice me."

For once she was glad not socialize as she was afraid if she left she'd eventually run into Marin and Luna, having to see them together, have all of her horrible daydreams come true. Seeing him happy with a girl who most definitely wasn't her.
