Whatever Floats Your Boat (Chapter Seventeen)
I woke up the next morning to Alya jumping on the bed. I groaned.
"You're finally up!" She exclaimed, jumping down.
"What are you, two?" I said, covering my eyes from the bright light that was shining through the window.
"Everyone's downstairs, making lunch! C'mon Alaya!" She said, pushing me off the bed so I had no other choice but to get up.
"Man, you're light." She commented. I just rolled my eyes in response.
"I'm average weight. It comes with the stupid model diet I was on at home." I explained, getting up and stretching, my shirt lifting up a little.
"Yeah, yeah," Alya said, "Just hurry up. It's like... Noon right now." I yawned.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever. I just came here from New York less than a week ago from living there most of my whole life. I'm still on New York time."
I walked into the bathroom and changed into a Crybaby shirt and black shorts, adding a choker as well as my Miraculous, and slipping on sandals that wrapped over my ankles. I placed my sunglasses on top of my head, put Winni in my pocket, and headed downstairs to help cook lunch. With it being a Saturday, we had no school and could do whatever.
"What do you guys wanna do today?" I asked, walking over to the isle, where they were all making sandwiches.
"I dunno." Nino responded. Just then, my phone buzzed, followed by Adrien's. I grabbed mine out of my back pocket and saw a text from Chloé, who had sent out an invitation to a party she was holding today. I looked around. No one elses phones had gone off, just mine and Adriens. She must really dislike these guys...
"Chlo's having a party." I said. Everyone groaned.
"I have to go." Adrien said, which was followed by a scoff from Alya
"Why, dude?" Nino asked. Adrien thought for a moment.
"Y-you know... She'll be expecting me there. She... She was my first friend... And a close friend to my mom... I have to go." I nod.
"I'll go too. To keep you company and to shoo her away if you need a break from her annoyingness." I said, and Adrien's face lit up a bit, and he nodded eagerly.
"I'm definitely not going." Alya said. Marinette and Nino agreed.
"But..." I thought of a way to get them to go, mainly because the idea of being at a party that was being held by Chloé wasn't exactly my idea of fun. I was just going for two reasons.
-The Two Reasons I was Going-
So that Chloé didn't go around attacking me and degrading my rep. My mother would kill me.
For Adrien. Emotional support. That type of thing. Who would wanna be at Chloé's party without emotional support? There would definitely be lots of drama
Drama? Like... The kind that could lead to people becoming akumatized? Meaning... Ladybug would be there... I smirked.
"But Alya..." She turned her head.
"Nothing you say could possibly get me to go." My smirk grew wider.
"How much you wanna bet?"
Alya turned her head to look back at me.
"Anyway, it's Chloé's party. There's gonna be some major drama..." My smirk grew even wider, "Maybe even an Akuma Victim. If you're there..." Alya gasped.
"I'd be at the scene before Ladybug or Chat! Alaya, you're such a genius girl! Ooh I'm so going!" I chuckled.
"Told you I could get you to go!" Alya gasped again, bouncing up and down.
"What if the new girl's there! I could ask her what her name is!" She squealed, "This is so exciting! C'mon guys we have to get ready!!!" Everyone was shocked.
"Ready for what?" I asked.
"It's just a party." Nino added, "Plus, it doesn't start for another seven hours, Alya." Alya sighed.
"You're right. I got way ahead of myself. I was just really excited." She said, making everyone laugh a little.
"So... What should we do until then?" Marinette asked, scanning between everyone.
"We could go to the park and pretend we're kids again." I suggested, scoffing slightly.
"Okay." Marinette agreed, looking between everyone else, and everyone agreed.
"I was being sarcastic... But okay then. Whatever floats your boat across the Atlantic." I said.
"Let's go then. Also, that was... Oddly specific." Nino said, and I shrugged.
"But aren't we gonna eat?" I asked, reaching for a sandwhich, but Alya grabbed my hand and pulled me away, so instead I ended up grabbed my phone and earbuds, figuring that I would just sit around and listen to music the entire time. We all walked out the door, and somehow ended up in a line across the sidewalk. Adrien was on one end, talking to Nino, and next to Nino was Alya, who was talking to Marinette. I stood on the other end, listening to 'Alphabet Boy' by Melanie Martinez, my absolute favorite singer.
I had completely drowned out the world around me, and was yanked - literally - back into focus when Marinette grabbed the collar of my shirt to prevent me from walking in the street. We continued walking when it was safe and soon enough made it to the park (you guys know the park). We all just stood there awkwardly; we towered over all the little kids who were there... Well, most of us (not my fault I'm short!).
"The only time I usually go to a park is during photo shoots." I say, and Adrien agrees, followed by Marinette. Me and Adrien looked at her and her face turned a cherry red.
"Wh-what do you mean?" I asked, "You don't have photo shoots..?" Alya giggled, and Marinette's face just kept getting redder and redder.
"Uhm... I... I mean... Uhm... Uh... I... I..." She looked so embarrassed. I shrugged.
"Okay... Then..." I moved towards the swing set, sitting down and turning on my phone, scrolling through my social media. Adrien sat down next to me, while the other three got on the carousel. I looked up to watch them for a second before focusing on my Instagram again. I saw a picture of Cassi and a girl I didn't know - the girl who exchanged from Paris to New York. I smiled, double tapping the picture and examining the girl. She had brown hair and hazel eyes. I smiled and showed the picture to Adrien.
"That's my sister Cassi, and-"
"Lila?!"
