I was in my room, planning a birthday party with my friends.
How did this come to be?
Well...
*Flashback*
It was a good day. And by good day I mean that the sun was covered by the clouds so the weather was cool. I really don't understand why people like sunny days.
My girls and I were walking to school together, when we were stopped by Nino at out classroom door.
"Dudes! I mean, girls! I need your help convincing Adrien's dad to let him have a birthday party!"
Oh, that's right. Adrien's birthday is just five days from now.
"A what?" Asked Alya.
"A birthday party for my dude!"
"So you want us to help you to go beg Adrien's father-who is the world's most famous fashion designer that has also never left his house before-to let him have a birthday party?"
"Uh, pretty much?"
"Actually," I said stepping in, "I have a better idea. Allow me?"
When I was writing down the akumas I need to prevent, The Bubbler was not one of them, but Nino may have given me a chance to stop it.
I walked towards the front of the classroom. I've never had a problem with public speaking before, but if I do get nervous, I tell myself that it's okay and I'm very brave for doing this and most people think this too to encourage myself. Don't judge.
All of our classmates had already arrived. Except for Adrien, quite convenient.
"Excuse me, everyone. Sorry for interrupting your morning activities, but I have a suggestion to make."
All eyes turned to me, which, making my legs shake. Also making my respect for teachers go pretty high up.
"Ugh, what do you want?" Although Chloe wasn't so nice about it, I was glad she was listening. She was a important part of the plan.
"Now, I heard that Adrien's birthday is coming up soon and, with what I've heard from Nino," I turned my head towards him, "Adrien has never had a birthday party before. The most he gets is a pen from his father."
I decided to let the words sink in. It may not seem like a big deal, but to me, not having my parents say Happy Birthday to me on that special day would probably ruin my cheerful demeanor. I would think that no one cares about me.
"So? Why would you care?"
I was surprised that Chloe said that. Wasn't Adrien her supposed best friend?
"Well, Chloe. Imagine if it was your birthday and nobody told you Happy Birthday, your father didn't get you any gifts and everybody just ignored you. That's what's happening to Adrien right now, one of your friends?"
"For your information, he's my Best friend."
"Exactly. So I propose that we," I said, looking into everyone's eyes. Why am I making this so dramatic? So that the students understand. "As Adrien's first classmates, throw him a surprise birthday party! It doesn't have to be too fancy, after all it's the thought that counts."
The class cheered.
"What do you mean? Of course it has to be the best! We're talking about my best friend here!"
"Unfortunately Chole, not all of us are children of mayors, so a small party will have to do. Or maybe..."
"Ugh, you are all peasants! I'll just have daddykins pay for everything! But I'm only doing this for Adrikins!"
I grinned, "Thank you so much, Chloe!"
Chloe faked a sighed, "What would any of you do without me?"
I held back an eyeroll, "Now that our budget has been decided, let's plan the rest!"
********
"And if you have the time, I think that everyone should bring a small present. It's fine if you don't want to, your contribution to this party is already enough.
"Please remember, we'll be meeting up at the park in the afternoon of 19th of October to prepare for the party."
Right after I got into my seat, guess who came in the classroom? That's right, the one and only, Adrien Agreste.
"What is everyone whispering about?" asked Adrien.
Since all of the Miraculous Ladybug characters are geniuses, they decided to keep whispering about the party. Not only that, they're also doing it while looking directly at Adrien. Someone give them an Oscar for their secret keeping-skills.
"Oh, their probably talking about the party-"
Did I not mention this was a surprise party? Or does everyone has Camembert in their ears?
"AHEM," I cleared my throat as loudly as I could. It wasn't really nessecery, since Adrien and Nino were sitting right in front of Marinette and I.
"They're probably talking about he party the mayor is planning to hold for Ladybug and Chat Noir! Since it got delayed because of Stormy Weather's akuma."
I glared at Nino with a smile on my face, did he even think before he spoke?
"A-ah, yeah! T-they probably are!"
Congrats, Nino! You get another Oscar for your lying skills!
"Oh, okay. I actually thought they were talking about me...Not because I think I'm awesome, but because everyone was looking at me!"
"Don't worry, Adrien. We know your not like that!"
"Yeah, dude."
"I think so too," added Marinette, she had just come back from the toilet after we had planned out the party. "Your quite humble."
The blonde model smiled shyly, "Thanks guys."
********
And now I'm organizing the placement of tables and chairs with Alya's and Marinette.
So far we had finished with almost all the chairs, just dealing with the tables now. We'll start with the food tomorrow, as it was getting pretty late.
At school, we'll be sharing all of this with Chloe, who will be "funding" everything. I didn't want to since she'll probably just throw away our hard work and ask a professional to redo everything. But where's the thought in that? We plan to stick with our ideas and convince Chole to do so to.
"Okay so we'll put the food on this table instead. And the drinks table will be right next to it if we put the long side of the rectangle together."
"Then what about the gifts?" asked Alya. "Should we put them under the table?"
Marinette shook her head, "I don't think that will do. We'll be putting table clothes on the tables so it'll cover up everything. Let's just display them on another table."
"Another table? I think two will take up enough space as it is, they are pretty big. Maybe we can place them on the ground, next to the food table?"
"No," I objected, "A clumsy someone might accidentally drop something in the gifts. Don't want to rile up Chole on Adrien's birthday. Let's just put them under the table, and bring them out later for a photo and the gifting "ceremony"."
"Speaking of gifts," said Alya with a cheeky grin, "What are you girls making for Adrien to give to him on his birthday?"
"Alya! You can't tell others what your giving before the big day!" I don't care about the, "if you know you won't be as happy on your birthday" stuff, I would actually be happy to talk about my gift, but the problem was I haven't prepared one.
"Oh, I think I'll sew him a scarf."
"Wow Marinette, that so cool! What about you, Yin? Or are you jealous that your best friend is giving your boyfriend such a cool gift?"
"What the hell, Alya? He's not my boyfriend!" I denied, throwing a pillow at her.
"Yet!"
