Chapter 11


Marinette hears the door opening.

Marinette: (Gasp) Hide, Tikki!

Tikki flies into Marinette's purse.

Adrien walks out of the bathroom, a towel around his neck.

Adrien: Everything going alright, Marinette?

Marinette: U-Uh, yeah. I managed to finish half the presentation.

Adrien: Already? That's absolutely impressive, Marinette.

Marinette blushes red.

Marinette: Uh, thanks. Though not as impressive as you.
U-Uh, I mean! As impressive as your house. (Hehehe.)

Nathalie walks in.

Nathalie: Dinner's ready, Adrien.

Adrien: Thanks, Nathalie. Will father be joining us tonight?

Nathalie: Surprisingly, yes. He cleared his schedule a few minutes ago.

Adrien: Great! C'mon, Marinette.

Marinette: O-okay.

They head to the dining room.

Now, Lila stands over the bathroom sink, nervous.
The water running, she cups it in her hands. Then splashes her face.

Lila (TB): "That was absolutely embarrassing! I touched his hand! He must think I'm trying to flirt with him."

As she takes the towel and dries her face off, she looks at her face in the mirror.

Lila (TB): "Calm down, Lila. Barry's doesn't seem like the type to think that. He's not like the other boys who've flirted with me in the past."

She dries her hands.

Lila (TB): "He trusts me, so I have to be willing to trust him."

(Knock, Knock, Knock.)

Lila opens the door.

Barry: You alright, Lila?

Lila: I'm fine, Barry. I just…needed get ahold of myself, after what just happened.

Barry: You mean after our hands accidentally touched?

Lila nods and turns away.

Barry: Don't worry, I wasn't expecting that, either. So trust me, you're not the only one who felt embarrassed.
I don't want to think I was trying to make a pass at you, or anything.

She looks up and smiles, relieved.

Lila: Thanks. So, uh, what was it you wanted?

Barry: Just wanted to let you know I finished getting the information for the presentation. It's all ready for Monday.

She looks surprised.

Lila: Wow, you certainly got that done quickly.

Barry: Yep, I never waste time with a project. And since we already finished our homework, that gives us some time to spare.

Lila: Cool.

Barry: So, you want to watch a movie, or…?

Lila: Sounds good to me.

She walks out of the bathroom, Barry turns on the TV, they lay on the bed and relax.

Barry: Take your pick.

He hands her the remote, and she smirks as she chooses a movie.
