Lila Rossi is a foreign exchange student from somewhere in Europe that wasn't France. She just transferred yesterday. You didn't hear much, but you knew she has many connections, talked with famous Hollywood actors and actresses, been around the world and had ton of money.

Didn't hear much, my butt.

Unfortunately, Mr. Damocles appointed you to guide all new students to the whole school. You seemed to be the main target for teachers, they seemed to always choose you.

You adjusted your clothes as you took a deep breath. You closed your eyes for a moment before opening them, looking at the school's entrance from the inside. There, Lila Rossi stood with your fellow classmates, often asking her about her trip to Netherlands, Japan and the Philippines. She answered them all with a smile on her face.

Suddenly, the bell rung, signaling that the students should all go back to their respective classrooms. After their retreat, you approached the new girl.

"Hello!" You greeted with the most happiness you could muster. "Welcome to our school, Collège Françoise Dupont! Name's Y/N." You stretched out a hand.

"Lila Rossi. I'm sure you've heard of me," She replied, crossing her arms instead of taking your hand.

You stared before you retreated your hand, slightly embarassed. "Well-" you cleared your throat. "I'm willing to show you around. Uh, here's-"

"No need." She cut you off. "I did my research on this school before enrolling. I just need to get to my first class." Lila showed a half-smile.

"Oh." You gulped. "Um, s-sure. I'll take you there."

You lead her up the stairs and to your classroom. You knocked on the door with Ms. Bustier answering. She let the two of you in and you took your usual seat beside Alya.

The teacher let Lila introduce herself with her eyes scanning your faces. You saw her eyes stopping at a certain blond-haired boy. Your own eyes narrowed. You knew what she was thinking with her grin on her face. You didn't like her already. Not one bit.

"I'm sensing you don't like her already." Alya whispered beside you.

"You read my mind."

A few months have passed and your mind didn't change about the new girl's attitude. You just found out from Alya that the girl was sending bikini photos to her boyfriend Nino, with a message, "What should I wear?"

You remembered Alya telling you that she will decapitate her. She's lucky that Nino is faithful.

Your blood boiled because of that. You didn't want to think of it, but it was disgusting of her to do that. You were confused. Her and Nino weren't even that close yet she had the decency to send him inappropriate photos knowing that he has a girlfriend? You shook your head. Why'd she even come here?

Now, everytime Lila would walk pass you and Alya, you would call her your best friend. That was her code name.

One night, Alya chatted you once again.

Alya:

YOU:

Alya:

Seen 9:32 PM

You sighed as you closed your eyes for a moment. The pain in your heart wasn't decreasing as you held your phone tightly.

You didn't notice the sleepiness coming, but you didn't let it stop you.

After a 15-minute nap, the ache did not stop. Like Adrien had told you. You wanted to tell this to anyone. Alya went out, but it doesn't hurt to just tell her you're hurting. She's your best friend after all; your walking diary.

YOU:
alya
i just want to say this to you
i don't know who i can talk to

but i want to cry. i'm crying

it hurts

that

i'm just there... you know?

You sighed. After reading your messages, you thought you were pathetic, but sadly, there wasn't any button to erase a sent message. Before sleeping, you remembered that you have to talk with Marinette. You haven't had a chance to talk to her earlier, so you hoped she's online.

She is.

You stared at your phone's keyboard, your fingers hovering over it. With parting lips, you began to think of what to say. You swallowed. Here goes...

YOU:
heyy mari

You sighed again. Pathetic.

Seen 9:38 PM

Marinette:
allo y/n!
what's wrong?

YOU:
nothing.
i just wanna ask about your whole situation with adrien
if you're ok with me asking

Marinette:
yeah, it's fine
i'm alright.
i just need some space, that's all

YOU:
ah...
ok...

You've been meaning to ask her this particular question.

YOU:
do you
have a crush on adrien?

Marinette:
he's a great guy
but i really like nathaniel.
i know adrien likes me, but
i don't want to hurt him

You hesitated, your eyebrows pulling together in concentration. What would she say? You trust her, she was Alya's friend after all. Well then...

YOU:
can i tell you something?

Marinette:
sure what is it?
you can tell me anything :)

YOU:
promise you won't be weirded out, or laugh at me?

or tell anyone?

Marinette:
you can trust me :)

There's no turning back now... or maybe you could break the news gently?

YOU:
i have this crush...

Marinette:
omg! who is it?

YOU:
you know him...
uh he's our classmate...

Marinette:
wait...
is it adrien???

You huffed. So much for being gentle. Was it that obvious?

YOU:
how did you know?

A sense of nostalgia hit your mind. You remembered the time when Adrien had told you the exact same words.

Marinette
hahaha well
i just guessed

YOU:
don't tell anyone alright?

Marinette:
sure!!
aww you two are perfect for each other!!!

You rolled your eyes at the comment. You changed the topic and said your thanks. Sleepiness was closing in so you then said your good byes.

You let your eyes close after turning your phone off. You felt satisfied after knowing that you gave Adrien your comforts, Marinette didn't have a crush on Adrien, and her learning that you are the one who has a crush on him. She didn't take it the wrong way, in fact she was glad.

Marinette:

i hope you're happy too
i hope you find someone that will make you happy. someone who will understand you and take care of you.

You hoped so too.
