My Dearest Secret Admirers

Chapter 5: New School Day, New Wonderful Friends.

   The three girls left the elevator once it opened, then they walked outside where they were greeted by butler Jean, Chloe's butler. Butler Jean opened the limo car door as the girls hopped inside. "Here you go Ms. Bourgeois' and their friend, breakfast." Marinette looked at the plate that magically appeared from behind the seats in front, Brioche French Toast with butter on top, pieces of strawberries, blueberries, and 3 glasses of a smoothie that looked like dragon fruit. Hmm, a classic gourmet breakfast I'm guessing. Marinette took a fork and knife and then cut a piece of the french toast, smelling its delicious aroma. She bit the piece of the food and my, it was delicious! Marinette couldn't get enough of it and continued eating, she also drank the smoothie and it was amazing!
   The three girls finished their meal right before they finally arrived at Francoise Dupont High School. The three girls got off the car and walked inside the school's premises, a lot of students were staring, as per usual. Marinette felt kinda awkward being there too until Alya came up to her with her face all red, her outfit was dark grey baggy jeans, black and white converse, and a red and black striped long-sleeved v-neck sweater.

   "H-Hey girl! Nice outfit how are you..?" Marinette chuckled a bit, "Thank you yours is beautiful too, I'm good what about you? Anything intriguing happened?"
"Nope. It's so not fair that Shadowmoth is taking a break! I-I mean- it's not like I'm ungrateful for it- I just uhh really need more scoop for the Ladyblog. Haha..." Alya stuttered realizing what she said and remembering her friend's secret, Marinette giggled and smirked, "How about a...photo shoot?" Marinette whispered raising an eyebrow. Alya's face brightens up with loads of excitement rising in her body, "YES!" Alya yelled which drew attention to them, then immediately covered her mouth, full of embarrassment. Marinette laughed as Alya tightly hugged her, rubbing their cheeks together. Shortly after, Alya gave a small kiss on Marinette's cheek and pulled away, "So anything new between...you and Adrien?" Alya asked trying not to sound sad, which she succeeded. Marinette shook her head, "Same old same old. We haven't spoken actually." Marinette gave a sad smile looking up at the beautiful blue sky. Little does she know her best friend was happy to hear that they haven't been communicating.
   "We should head to class," Marinette said walking up the stairs with Alya following behind her.

   The two females walked inside the classroom and sat down in their usual seats. Not a moment too soon, Rose and Juleka walked in, "Good morning, everyone! You all are looking spectacular today!" Rose said with positive energy as always. "Thanks, Rose, you look adorable as every other day!" Marinette complimented back with a grin as she rest her chin on the palms of her hands. And of course, there was negativity inside the classroom, caused by certain students. Jealousy.
   At that very moment, the soon-to-be couple walked to their seats. Then there came Lila Rossi, her face lit up at the sight of her new friend. Marinette. Lila came up to her and tightly hugged her from behind, "Good morning Marinette, nice to see you again! How are you?"
"I'm doing good what about you Lila?"
"I'm fantastic! Thank you for asking! Do you mind if I hang with you at lunch?"
   "I don't mind at all" Marinette gave a smile, the brunette gave a small kiss on her cheek and dashed to her seat. "Woah? Friends with your enemy now?" Alya questioned surprised, Marinette happily nodded in response.
   There came her crush, Adrien Agreste. His smooth blonde hair, his magical emerald eyes, his smooth clear skin, his smile. It just lights up Marinette's world. She was blushing uncontrollably watching the boy sit in his seat, in front of Marinette. Marinette was dozing off again until she hears some growls around her, she looked beside her and saw Alya was frustrated at something. Marinette placed her hand on Alya's shoulder, "Hey everything okay Al?"
"Y-Yes it's just...something else." Marinette frowned, "Okay. If you want to talk about it, I'll be here." Alya nodded giving a small smile. Marinette gave a wide smile and looked up at the chalkboard once she heard Ms. Bustier's voice.
