Her heart went into overdrive at the question as her head spun. She chanced a look at Alya and Nino. They couldn't help her. Adrien might just turn the question on them and then they'll have to find excuses not to answer. They were a couple but hadn't come out to the school yet.
So there they sat at one of the benches waiting for school to begin. Marinette wished this was one of those days where she had woken up late because she had stayed up late at night because she was sewing or sketching.
After a few more moments of inarticulate articulation, she clamped her mouth shut. She looked straight ahead, trying to avoid eye contact with the green-eyed boy next to her. Why did she agree to sit next to him again? Perhaps a lapse in insanity caused her to believe she was ready for this.
