hi!! -- hehehhh this took way too long qwq (sorry for the choppy ending x) the next part will be better and less awkward lol) enjoy! :DD -- Piano Keys & a Mask Part six (Marinette’s POV) “Good morning, Mama! I’m going over to Alya’s!” Marinette called, as she stumbled down the stairs, coming from her room. Her mother waved back with a smile and called out from where she was baking bread in the kitchen. “Be back by 12!” Sabine added quickly, wiping her hands on her apron, “Don’t forget, you have to help your dad with the macaroons.” “I’ll remember,” Marinette waved goodbye as she opened the door. “Bye, Ma!” She ran out, managing not to trip as she dashed down the blue, carpeted stairs. At Alya's house, Marinette reached out and knocked. Almost instantly, the door swung open and Alya yanked Marinette inside, dragging her to her room. "Sooooo?" Her best friend plopped down onto her bed with a gleam in her eyes, patting the spot next to her for Marinette to sit down. “How was it? How was he? Was he nice? Did you guys talk?” Alya leaned forward, her elbows propped up on her knees. Marinette laughed at the eager expression on Alya’s face. “Calm down!” She said to her, but continued. “And yeah, he was nice. We spoke a bit before our performance and you were right. He was nothing like Chloe, thankfully.” Alya patted her shoulder. “See, girl? What did I tell you? Nothing to worry about!” Smiling, Marinette replied thoughtfully, “Yeah, I guess you’re right. I hope we’ll get to talk more this weekend since we’re the first ones performing and I’m planning to go early…” “We can ask Nino to talk to Chat Noir and ask him to come early if you want?” Standing up after checking the watch on her wrist, Alya grabbed her coat from the hanger behind her door, continuing to speak. “Speaking of which, we’re supposed to meet Nino and Adrien at the cafe today, remember?” Alya raised her eyebrows suggestively at Adrien’s name. “Come on!” She opened her door and called over to the living room where her sisters, Ella, Etta, and Nora were all sitting together, watching a movie. “Marinette and I are going to the park to meet Nino and Adrien up, see ya guys later!” A thumbs up came from both Ella and Etta as Nora’s watery eyes were glued to the TV, sobbing at something the guy on the TV was saying. As they left Alya’s house, Marinette felt her cheeks warm at the thought of Adrien, the boy who she was irrevocably and completely head over heels with. -- first - previous - next - not out yet! *shameless self-advertising lol* if you like my writing, check out my Princess Justice fanfiction! :D Princess Justice part 1 ---> -- - credits - - characters belong to the creators of Miraculous Ladybug - AU by me - thumbnail from Google, edited slightly by me --
