A Secret Visitor

17. can't catch a break

~{•>•<•}~

After school, the four friends met up in front as usual.

"Did already make your dress?" Alya asked.

"It's.... a work in progress," Marinette sighed glancing away. Alya eyed her before giggling.

"Pretty much anything Marinette makes looks good. I'm excited to see what it will look like at the gala," Adrien said.

He already saw part of the dress the last time he was over as Chat Noir and it did look amazing. Marinette flushed and poked her fingers together.

"T-Thanks Adrien!" She smiled.

"Of course!" He responded. After their attention moved to another topic he took a glance at Marinette.

He gaze shifted towards her lip and he shook his head.

"When are all of you free? I miss our hangouts," Alya asked wiping a nonexistent tear from her face.

"I know! We haven't been able to hangout since this dude got a girlfriend," Nino said punching Adrien's shoulder.

"I'm sorry I'm not apart of the single life anymore," Adrien said awkwardly.

"Ahem." Marinette said giving an icy glare towards the group. They all laughed forgetting about their lost time together.

"Well I'm sorry if I'm still living the 'single life'," Marinette fake sneered exaggerating single life.

"It's ok girl, hopefully prince charming will come around. He doesn't seem happy with his current girlfriend," Alya said whispering the last part. Nino didn't notice but Adrien picked up on it and gave a questioning look unbeknownst to the girls.

"I don't know dudette, you literally picked the worst person to have a crush on. He's so oblivious," Nino said smacking his head.

...

"Hold on am I the only one who doesn't know who 'prince charming' is?" Adrien asked placing his hand on his chest with a hurt face.

Marinette face was a whole other color and she had buried herself into her hands.

Nino and Alya shared a glance before bursting out laughing.

"What?"

"Adrien we should call you prince charming as well," Nino said. Marinette's smacked his arm before retreating into her hands again.

"Huh?" Adrien was about to pry before Kagami came and joined the conversation.

"What's happening?" She asked placing a hand on Adrien's shoulder.

"Huh? Oh, not much," Alya said as Nino regained composer.

*honk*

"Looks like my drivers here," Adrien groaned.

"Come on babe," Kagami said ushering him towards the door. The two got into their car, leaving the trio  at the front of the school.
