"Wanna get a bite at the bakery?" Alya offers.

"Yeah!" Nino says.

"As long as Mari says it's okay," Aiden says. Or wait, was it Adrien? I forget.

"Sure! All of you can come!" I smile.

(Lazy time skip to after lunch)

"Yum! I never tire from Mari's pastries!" Alya exclaims.

"Yeah! They are awesome! Thanks, dudette!" Nino grins at me.

"Of course! Anything for my friends," I reply.

"Yeah, that was a great lunch," a familiar voices says. I turn and look to see Adrie- no, Aiden.

"Oh, right. You're also here. I forgot," I say bluntly.

Nino and Alya howl with laughter while Adrie- no, Aiden's cheeks flush red.

"G-Guys! Stop laughing!" He says, covering his face. I chuckle.

He turns to me. "Not you too!"

Then I start laughing. Eventually, Aiden laughs along.

"So Adrien, are you free this weekend? We were thinking of getting together at the Eiffel Tower," Alya says.

"We were?" Nino and I ask together.

"We were. Right, Nino?" Alya growls out, glaring at Nino.

"R-Right! We were! Totally! Yeah," Nino says nervously.

Alya smiles sweetly. "So? Can you make it, Adrien?"

"Adrien? Oh, so that's your name! I thought it was Aiden," I interrupt.

Adrien looks away. " I don't know. I'll see."

"We hope you'll be able to come!" Alya sing-songs.

"Yay! Maybe this is an opportunity to get to know you! Please come!" I cheer. Adrien's cheeks flush red.

"A-Alright, I guess. I'll try to come," he says.

"Yay!" Alya, Nino, and I cheer.

"Now, Mari, let's get going. I have a few things I need to talk to you about," Alya says.

"Bye," I wave as Alya drags me away. Literally.

"Seeya?" Adrien says.

"Catch ya later, dudette," Nino says in a chill tone.

After dragging me to some corner of the school, Alya faces me and squeals.

"What?" I ask.

"Adrien likes you!" Alya grins.

"He likes me?" I ask.

"Yes! It is so obvious! Now, you have to make sure he knows! Over the weekend, I want you to smile and act cute. That's an order!" Alya says.

"But why?" I ask.

"BECAUSE HE LIKES YOU AND YOU LIKE HIM!" Alya yells.

"Hush! I don't like him like that! He's just a friend!" I say.

Me: Who else cringed?

Alya: But you wrote that in . . .

Me: (huffs) Whatever! I cringed while writing it!

Alya: Suit yourself.

"Look deep inside your heart! Is he really just a friend to you?" Alya pleads.
