Feelings

21-Alya

I walk out of the changing room and see Adrien already running laps. I tie my laces and sprint so I can catch up with him.
"A-Adrien," I pant, catching my breath. "We need to continue our conversation."
"What more is there to say? I like her. She doesn't like me. Simple as," he shrugs as he picks up some weights.
"Seriously? Are you kidding me? Marinette has been crazy about you for the last 3 years! Feelings like that don't just disappear over night!" I hiss.
"Well then why the heck did she get so mad and reject me," he scoffs.
"Because she's confused about her feelings. She's got someone else in her life as well and she doesn't know what to do, okay. So don't be pissed at her before you know the full story!" I snap.
"Stupid charming Chat Noir. Why does he have to be so much better than me?" Adrien mutters, but loud enough for me to hear.
"Wait- I never said anything about Cha- OMG! OMG!" I jump up and down.
"Shhhh!" Adrien hisses as he makes sure no one is around.
"You're Chat Noir!" I whisper shout.
"Yeah I'm aware!" He retorts. "You have to promise not to tell anyone! The only other person that knows is Nino."

Nino knows! And didn't tell me! That boy is in for a world of pain.

"I told him whilst you were just talking to Marinette," Adrien adds.

I guess I won't have to torture Nino then.

"Adrien," I say. "I promise I won't say a word."
He smiles.
"This is so cool! I know Chat Noir. I'm speaking to Chat Noir!" I fangirl.
He laughs and shakes his head.
"W-wait! Do you know who Ladybug is!" I yell.
"I-uh. Ummmm. N-no," he says while scratching his head.
"You do! It's so obvious you're lying," I laugh. "Tell me, pleasssseee!"
"Alya, she doesn't know that I know. I found out by accident and I feel like I've already betrayed her enough, okay. I'm sorry but I can't tell you" Adrien protests.
"Okay, I understand," I smile. I'm disappointed that I may never know who Ladybug is. But I'm still thrilled that one of my bestfriends is Chat Noir.
"ALYA! ADRIEN! QUIT GOSSIPING AND DO SOME SPORT!" Mr Damocles yells.
We look at eachother and laugh before racing eachother around the gym.

                                                                                                                                                    *

Me and Adrien leave gym tired and hot. We slowly walk towards Nino and Mari's class as their teacher always lets them out late. We talk for about 15 minutes before they come out the class. They both look bored out of their minds.

"Oh my days! I hate her!" Marinette whispers.
"Why are you whispering?" Adrien questions.
"She has great hearing. I don't want to get in trouble," she laughs.
"You guys want to get some pizza or something? It's Friday so the pizza place is half price." Nino suggests.
"Sure," I say.
"Yeah, I'm free," Adrien adds.
"Sorry guys, I would LOVE to but I have to go home. Me and my parents are going to London for the weekend and our train leaves in 3 hours so I can't," Marinette says.
"Girl, you never told me!" I yell.
"Yeah sorry, it completely slipped my mind," she answers.
"No worries girl, do you want me to come help you pack?" I ask.
"No, it's fine, go get pizza with the boys, I'll call you later," she insists.
"Okay girl, see you later," I hug her, "have fun!"
"Yeah, enjoy yourself! And remeber what I said earlier, I'm always here for you," Nino says.
"Have a good time Mari," Adrien mumbles, staring at his feet.
"Thanks guys, see you on Monday!" Marinette yells over her shoulder as she walks out the school.

Me, Adrien and Nino walk over to the Pizza Parlour and get a table.
"Sooooo this place is empty. I guess we can talk about Adrien and Marinette. Or should I say Chat Noir and Marinette," I giggle as we sit down.
"Dude! I thought I was the only one who knew!" Nino sulks.
Adrien laughs before saying "She found out when we were in gym. I told you first."
"Boys!" I snap. "That isn't important. I have something to tell you. And I promised Mari that I wouldn't say anything but I just have to tell you."
"What is it?" They ask.
"Mari likes Chat Noir!" I blurt.
"WHAT!" Adrien yells. "So that's who she moved on to. She regected me because she likes the other side of me!"
"Loves," I whisper.
"Loves? Mari LOVES Chat Noir? I can't believe this!" Adrien yells.
"Shhhhh," Nino and I hiss in unison.
"Why is this so goddamn complicated," Adrien moans before slamming his head onto the table.

We order our pizza and talk more about Adrien being Chat Noir. He tells us what happened with him and Marinette and that they have been hanging out lately. And then he tells us that they KISSED! THEY FREAKING KISSED! LIKE 4 TIMES! He begins to tell us about life as a superhero when his phone rings. He walks away to talk to the person calling.

"We have to get them together!" I squeal.
"Alya, I love you and I know that you just want Mari and Adrien to be happy but surely this is something that have to figure out for themselves. You need to trust that this will happen on it's own. Promise me that you will stay out of it." Nino insists.
He's right. I know he is. I hate it when he's right and I'm wrong.
"Fine. I guess you're right," I mutter.
"What was that?" Nino teases.
"I said that you're right!" I say louder this time.
"Interesting. And just so we're clear, do you like to be wrong?" He laughs.
I glare at him which makes him laugh even more.
"Sorry guys, that was my father. I have to go. Here's some money. The pizza's on me," he tells us.
"Thankyou Adrien," I say standing up.
After I give the money to the waiter me and Nino walk home.
"Nino," I say.
"Yeah babe?" He replies.
"I'm worried about Mari, I mean she seems really upset and stressed lately."
"I'm worried too babe,"
"She's hiding something from us, I'm sure of it and I'm not going to interrogate her about it but I'm just scared for her," I burst into tears.
"I know, it's okay though. Me and Mari spoke earlier and she promised that she'd tell me if something is up," Nino reassures me.
"But what if it's something that she can't say. For example, what if she were Ladybug or soemthing-" I freeze and my jaw drops.
Nino's eyes widen and slaps his hand over his mouth.
"Marinette is Ladybug!" We yell togther.
"Of course! It all makes sense! They're never seen together! She's always late. It all fits together." I fangirl.
"Alya, it does make sense but let's not get ahead of oursleves. We don't know for sure! What are the chances of Paris' protecters being bestfriends?" Nino says.
"Yeah, it can't be right. Maybe I'm just in a superhero mood after finding out about Adrien," I giggle.
"Babe, you're always in a superhero mood," Nino jokes.
I laugh as I kiss his cheek and go inside.

It kind of makes sense. Marinette leading a double life. Maybe I wrong. Yeah, I'm definitely wrong. Mari couldn't possibly be Ladybug. Could she?
