Marinette and Alya were meeting up to go to the shopping mall to shop for a swimsuit. Alya was positive that Marinette could pull off a swimsuit, and do it well. Unfortunately, Marinette wasn't on board with the idea.

'GUUURRRRLLLL!!! Come on I know you can do this! Just wear a swimsuit, it's not that hard!' Alya was half yelling at Marinette.

'I know I can! I don't want to!' Marinette argued back.

'Just imagine. How is Adrien EVER going to notice you if you don't put yourself out there?'

'I don't know, Alya. Honestly, I don't even care anymore. I'm such a dork around him, constantly stuttering and messing up my words. He literally thinks that I'm scared of him!'

'CHILD!!! SERIOUSLY!!! ARE YOU KIDDING OF COURSE HE DOESN'T THINK THAT!'

'Alya, why are you shouting? Calm your non-existent farm...'

'BECAUSE YOU'RE SO PATHETICALLY DIMWITTED, IT'S HARD NOT TO!' 

'Awwwwww... I love you too, Alya.'

'PLEASEEEEEEEE!!! Just wear a swimsuit! For meee?'

'GOD fine! But only if I can wear a cover on top...'

'GREAT!' Alya said. She was so happy, but she was really disappointed that Marinette wanted to wear a cover on top. She knew that Marinette could totally rock a swimsuit.

Marinette chose a swimsuit, and a cover, while Alya chose a swimsuit. As they were walking home, Alya and Marinette got a message that Lila was also coming on the excursion. 

'Blegh... Now I won't even have a chance to say hi to Adrien.' said Marinette, almost puking.

'Yeah? Well I have to deal with her annoying voice...' Alya said.

'Duh! And her lies...' Marinette said.

'Lies? What lies?' Alya asked, confused.

'Hmmmm... Let's see... Oh! Like the one that she is really good friends with Ladybug. The one that she had an ear problem so she had to sit with Adrien at the front of the class. God there are so many, I can't even keep track!' Marinette said.

'Jeez, girl. You've really got it in for Lila!'

'Well yeah! When she's trying to steal the one you love and she thinks it's fine to go around and lie her way out of things, it's kinda hard not to hate her...'

'Hmmm... I guess...'

As Alya and Marinette walked back to the bakery, the sun was setting over their heads, and Marinette realised that there was a test tomorrow.

'Alya?'

'Hmmm?'

'We have a test tomorrow...'

'Really?'

'Yeah... It's a math test. Madame Bustier said that it wasn't important, but it counts towards our report.'

'Yeah... So?'

'You wanna study together? You can sleepover at my place. We just have to pick up your clothes for tomorrow, and get your school stuff.'

'Sure. I already texted my mum and she said yes.'

'WHAT? That was so fast? Were you planning this without me knowing?'

'No my mum is just really fast at texting back because she always has her phone with her. '

So Marinette and Alya went to Alya's house, picked up her clothes and bag, played with the twins and Nora for a bit, walked back to Marinette's house, ate some croissants and went to Marinette's room to study for the test. As they were studying, they slowly fell asleep, with their heads together, and textbooks on their laps.

The next morning, Marinette woke up and woke Alya up. She told Alya that they had to go quickly and that they were almost late. As they were sprinting, a familiar car rode up to them and the window rolled down. 

'Hey! You guys want a ride?' said Adrien, smiling.

They got into the car and drove the rest of the way to school. After the test, everyone was discussing it and Marinette and Alya thought they did well.

'GUURRLL! We totally aced that test! WE'RE GOING TO THE WATER PARK TOMORROW!!!!!!!!'

Marinette laughed. 'YEP!'
