Another You

Part 3

Adrien's POV

"Hey, Adrien! How have you been my sweet baby," (I cringed writing that) Lila said as she ran to me opening her arms.

"Hey Lila," I said, accepting her hug. "How long have you been waiting here?"

"Oh not too long, I saw your father and I was wondering where you went," she started. "He said you were picking up some clothes for the gala... but you came from upstairs."

I got nervous. My father lied about where I was and Lila had picked up on it.

"I just went through the back door cause my father needed to talk to me about something," I said hoping she wouldn't question it any further.

"Ok, just make sure you match my dress," Lila started. "I have to go now because it's getting late, but I'll call you later."

"Okay see you soon," I said as I kissed her on the cheek and she left through the front doors.

My relationship with Lila was slowly falling apart in my eyes. I just didn't feel the spark I had with her like when I met her. Whenever she kisses me or I kiss her I feel guilty and almost as if I'm leading her on. I think I will tell her my feelings after the gala because it is in five nights anyways. It would hurt if I was in her position but I need to be honest.

Now I need to go figure out the plan my father wanted to tell me about.

I walked upstairs and went into his office. My new objective was to somehow find Ladybug at the gala in her real form and get her to trust me enough to get close to her. That part should be simple enough since I am a model... but finding her is a whole other game.

Tomorrow I'll do research and try to figure out who she is, but right now I need to get my croissant.

{Author's note: Right across the street a little street vendor closes at ten pm and they have extra croissants that Adrien likes to sneak when he can hehe.}

Marinette's POV

I went home from Master Fu's place. How could I find Chat Noir? There are a lot of guys with blond hair in Paris... it would be nearly impossible to find him. Not as many have his green eyes too though... unless it's just a perk of his cat costume that changes his eye color too. Honestly, I don't even want to meet this guy.

I'm sure he's all daddy's money, I'm pErFeCt, and blah blah blah.

It was pretty late at night, 9:55 to be exact, and I needed to get back home to my dorm. I walked along the sidewalk of the road where all the big houses were. The lights that they decorated their houses with in winter were truly breathtaking and looked like little stars.

I took a deep breath that sent a chilly feeling down my lungs that almost hurt for a moment. There was one house on this street that didn't have any lights, however. Its fence was practically a wall, but the gate and the house itself was beautiful. Continued walking forward and started to pass the mansion.

Must be nice to be rich-

I was thinking to myself but then all of the sudden I am pushed to the ground. I fell but luckily I caught myself with my hands.

"Um, what the hell was that?" I said looking up at the boy who had knocked me down.

"Oh my god I am so sorry," he said as he grabbed for my hand to help me up.

"It's not cool to just run into people just because you're in a rush," I started. I looked down at my knee and I had a hole in my pair of black leggings. "great, now they are ripped.
"I'll pay for them..." the boy who looked about my age said. He had some of the brightest green eyes I had ever seen and blond hairs stuck out from the bottom of the black beanie he wore. "I was trying to get a croissant across the street before they closed haha," he said as he scratched the back of his neck.

"It's all good, go and get your food. Don't worry about me. I have plenty of other pairs of leggings at home," I said.

"No, at least let me get you a hot chocolate if you are walking home," He begged.

"Okay fine," I said smiling slightly. It was some good hot chocolate.
