Chloe Bourgeois was in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
How could she let this happen? Marinette was supposed to be her enemy. Not her little childish crush.
Chloe sat on her bed, as these thoughts raced through her mind, not knowing what to make of them.
"Sabrina, what do I do?! Dupain-Cheng absolutely despises me, and there's no way that she'll ever like me back! How would I even get her to at least be friends with me?" The blonde said.
"Well," Sabrina began,
"If you start being nice to people, maybe she might start warming up to you."
"And how would I do that?"
"Well, you could start by calling Marinette by her first name."
"Will you tell me what to do after that?"
"Of course Chloe, we're best friends!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When Chloe arrived at school that day, she was extremely nervous. What was she going to say to Marinette? Sabrina knew a thing or two about this "being nice" thing, so there shouldn't be any reason to worry, right?
She met up with Sabrina like usual, hoping that her friend would guide her in this "nice" thing.
"Hey Sabrina."
"Hi Chloe!"
"So... how do I start this?"
"Huh?"
"Y'know, being nice to Dupain-Che- I mean Marinette."
"Well, before second period starts, she's usually standing at the bottom of the stairs talking to Alya, right?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"Then, just go to class early, and when you need to get up the stairs, just say, "Excuse me, Marinette." Okay?"
"How is that going to make her think more of me?"
"Well, saying excuse me, instead of saying get out of my way, is nicer."
"Yeah, but that's barley anything."
"And, you'll call her Marinette instead of Dupain-Cheng, which is also nicer."
"So then we'll be friends after that?"
"No, Chloe. It's just a start. Making friends with her is gonna take time."
"Okay, so be nicer to Marinette, got it."
"Everybody else too, Chloe."
"What?"
"Marinette defended Alya when you said something rude about her. So Marinette won't like it if you're mean to other people either."
"Ugh, this is gonna take some getting used to."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
First period was over, so now it was her time to shine.
It was passing time, and Chloe was about to head over to second period early, just like Sabrina told her to. Okay, here we go.
"Okay, you can do this Chloe." She thought.
Chloe put on her "cool" face and tried her best not to blush. Then walked over to the stairs. It was time.
"Excuse me, Marinette."
She nailed it.
"Did she just say excuse me?" Alya asked
"Did she just call me by my first name?" Marinette followed.
Chloe walked into the almost empty classroom, looking brighter than the sun. She had a smile that went from ear to ear, and was practically skipping with joy.
Nobody else was in the classroom besides Sabrina, who had been waiting for Chloe.
"Hey Chloe! How did it go?"
"I totally nailed it."
"Great!"
Chloe went and sat down near her friend.
"Okay, so like, what's next?"
"Well, you just be nicer."
"Okay... I'll try, but when do I do it?"
"Well, when somebody makes a suggestion, you don't shoot it down, unless it's about something bad."
"Got it."
"And you can't go out of your way to be mean to people."
"Okay."
"And well, don't make people feel bad, unless they did something they should be ashamed of. But even then, don't be super mean."
"Okay, I think I get it."
People started piling into the classroom and took their seats. Everybody was there except for Marinette. Once the bell rang,
Mrs. Mendeliev walked in.
"Hello class-" she began.
Before she could even finish, a familiar, clumsy, blue-haired girl bursted into the classroom.
"GAH!" Marinette shouted.
"I'm so sorry I'm late Mrs. Mendeleiev!"
"This better not happen again, Ms. Dupain-Cheng."
"It won't ma'am! I promise!"
"Good, now go take your seat."
"Yes ma'am!"
Marinette quickly stumbled to her seat, tripping on the stairs many times along the way. Her friend Alya giggled. So did Chloe, but this time Chloe didn't mean it in such a mean way, it was the same type of giggle that Alya had. It was almost as if the two were friends.
