Adrien's P.O.V
As we entered the hospital room, I could see that Marinette had a few bruises on her hands, legs, and mostly her knees. (A/N: Marinette was wearing shorts, that's how Adrien could see her knees) Lila pushed her really hard, and in the ambulance, Marinette told me that Lila kicked her a few times. Whenever Nino worries about Alya, Marinette comforts him. I left Nino, Marinette, Alya (Who was still unconscious) in the room. The hospital was huge, so at some point, I got lost. I had to ask a nurse for the way to the gift shop. "Take a left, then go straight, finally take a right and you'll see the gift shop," The nurse kindly explained. Then, I was on my way to the gift shop. On my way there, I got a text from Nathalie.
Nathalie: Adrien, where are you? I need to tell your father where you are. Please tell me.
Me: I'm in the hospital with my friends
Nathalie: Who hurt you? Tell me now!
Me: Nobody... A girl called Lila hurt my friend, and now we're in the hospital
Nathalie: Oh, now I understand. Tell your friend that I wish for them to be safe.
Me: Yeah okay, bye Nathalie
Nathalie: Goodbye, Adrien. Be home by 6:00. Dinner will be served at 6:30.
Me: Ok, will Father sit with me at the table today?
Nathalie: No, he is busy. He will eat his dinner alone in his office.
Me: As usual, I wish he spent more time with me. Bye :(
Nathalie: Goodbye, Adrien. Stay safe.
I bought something, then I returned to the hospital room.
"Hey, Marinette!" I politely greeted. "Hello, Adrien!" She responded. "I bought you a gift from the gift shop," I said in a caring voice. I held out a black stuffed cat and gave it to her. She gasped in utter surprise. "A stuffed cat!? How did you know cats were my favorite animal!?" She shouted, but she was still careful not to burst our eardrums, especially the unconscious Alya's eardrums. "Just a lucky guess," I replied. The stuffed cat was small, and it was black. Its eyes were the same color as mine, Emerald green-eyes. "Thank you so much! Why did you get it?" She asked curiously. "No reason, I just wanted to surprise you," I said. She pulled me into a hug, then thanked me a second time.
"What are you going to name it?" I asked, looking into her gorgeous bluebell-eyes. "Um... Ahh!! Raisins!!" Marinette shouted while glaring at the raisins in disgust. She grabbed me in a way that made me slightly satisfied (Because she's my crush, and she's holding on to me) But still a bit puzzled. The nurse was innocently bringing a cart with a plate of raisins into the room. "I don't think 'Ahh!! Raisins!!' Is a good name," I sarcastically stated. She rolled her eyes. "Since the cat is black, I'm going to name it... Midnight," She decided. "That's a pleasant name," I complimented. "And for your information, Sherlock, I shouted, 'Ahh!! Raisins!!' Because I have a small phobia of them," She informed. I couldn't help but laugh. Her cheeks turned red, filled with embarrassment. I noticed her small frown, then I immediately stopped laughing. "I hate dried fruit, especially raisins. They creep me out," She added. This time, I didn't laugh. I didn't want to make her sad again.

Marinette and I talked for a bit, and we forgot all about Alya until we heard her groan. Nino's eyes widened. It thrilled him she was alive, even though a slap on the face isn't deadly. Nino shook her a bit, "Alya, are you awake?" He asked. He sat next to Alya on the small, white hospital bed. Alya nodded, then she said, "Y-Yeah, I-I'm awake..." She gave him a delicate smile. "What happened?" Alya curiously asked. Nino looked at her as if he was going to die of joy. "Well, Lila hit you really hard, and you fell on the floor unconscious, you also kind of hit your head on the floor," I explained. "We — Mostly Nino — shook you a lot, but you didn't wake up. So, we took you to the hospital... And here you are," I continued. Nino couldn't stop smiling. He was so happy to see Alya awake.
Marinette's P.O.V
A few minutes after Alya woke up, my parents came bursting through the door, startling all of us. "The school principal told us what happened. Are you okay, honeybun croissant?" My Dad asked me, waiting for an answer. "DAD!!!!" I shouted, really embarrassed. Nino burst into laughter. "Ha! Honeybun croissant!" Nino teased. Adrien shot him a dirty look, that screamed: Don't do that to her! Who knows why Adrien did that. (A/N: Oh god, these oblivious dorks) I glared at my Dad. "Yeah, I'm okay..." I said, my cheeks red in embarrassment. I felt the need to scream at my Dad for calling me 'Honeybun croissant' in public. Not like he calls me that at home, heh heh.
Adrien and I were standing super close to each other. My Mom took a quick picture. "Yay! Saved to my Adrienette pictures! Yes! Now I have 42 Adrienette pictures." She mumbled loudly. "W-What?! Adrienette pictures??!! Holy cow, what is Adrienette?!" I asked, mortified. "Well," My Mom started explaining, "Adrienette is the ship between you and Adrien." My eyes widened. By now, my cheeks were as red as the Tomato Child's (A.K.A Nathaniel's) hair. Adrien's face matched mine accurately.
"Have you secretly been taking pictures of me and Adrien?" I asked my Mom, hoping she would say 'No'. "Yup! I even edited some of the pictures to make it seem like you guys are kissing! Isn't that marvelous?" I felt the need to scream, so I excused myself to go to the bathroom. I walked into a stall, and I screamed. "AAAAAH!" I didn't care if people thought there was something wrong. I walked back into the hospital room, feeling relaxed. "Why did you go to the bathroom?" Asked my Dad. "To do my business!" I lied.

We left the hospital. The nurse kindly offered us a ride home. It wasn't really necessary, but we accepted the offer. "Emilia needs some rest, so when you get home, let her rest," The nurse said. "Um... Actually, her name is Alya," I corrected. "Oh, sorry," The nurse apologized. For a moment, Adrien and I made eye contact. His handsome emerald green-eyes were so attractive. He stared into my eyes. He smirked. It was random how he smirked. I tried to break the awkward silence between us by starting a conversation. As usual, I would always stutter. That's just the typical me. "You are how? I MEAN — How are you?" I smiled awkwardly, trying to ignore the skeptical face Nino gave me. Alya facepalmed. "Seriously, Marinette? How awkward can you get? Ooh! That rhymes!" Alya whispered. I rolled my eyes. "To answer your question: I'm doing fine. What about you?" Adrien responded. I tried my best not to stutter, but that didn't work out. "I - am - yeah - heh - good I'm - I MEAN: I'm good!" Adrien leaned over to Alya, and whispered to her, "Is this normal - I don't mean to be rude, but Marinette is acting weird, is everything okay?" He looked at Alya as if he was expecting an answer. She hesitantly nodded. "Girl, you're getting more awkward every second," Alya whispered to me. Ding! Ding! I got a text from my anxious Dad, and a text from my group chat with my friends.
Dad: Hello Marinette! How's Alya? Is everything alright? How do you feel? Do you feel hurt? If you do, then I'm going to hunt down that 'Lila' girl, and make her regret what she did to you and Alya!
My eyes widened at what my Dad said, and how many questions he asked. I replied...
Me: Alya's fine, she recovered. Yes, everything's alright. I feel fine. I don't feel hurt, just a few bruises... But don't worry, I'm not in pain or anything ;) Please don't hunt Lila down! Don't murder her!
Dad: Okay, Lemon yogurt cake with syrup... Enjoy your time with your friends. Be home by 7:15 PM, okay?
Me: Okay, I'll be home by 7:15 PM. And what is Lemon yogurt cake with syrup?
Dad: It's my new nickname for you since you didn't like Honeybun croissant.
Me: Oh God, fine... Don't call me that in public though!
Dad: Of course not, Lemon yogurt cake with syrup! Goodbye!
Me: This is going to get old quick, bye!
Hopefully, he doesn't call me that in public. I looked at the text Alix sent on the group chat.
Alix: Hey guys, I'm bored! Kim and I are in our dorm and he keeps giving me stupid dares, we're not even playing truth or dare!
I felt bad for her, so I replied:
Me: Why don't we all play truth or dare? With Kim...
Alix: Yes! By the way, Kim is reading what we're saying on the group chat, so KIM, DO NOT GIVE ME STUPID DARES! AND DO NOT TELL ME TO KISS SOMEONE!
Kim: Yeah yeah, no promises ;)
Alix: Ugh! I hate you! >:(
Kim: Heehee
Me: Um, Let's play then? Who wants to play?
Alix: I do!
Kim: I do ;)
Adrien: Can I play?
Me: Sure
I looked at Adrien for a moment (We were still in the car. With the nurse, Nino, and Alya) I grinned at him, then he gave me a smile. We played a bit, Nino and Alya played too. Every dare was funny until Alix gave me a dare that made me go, 'Holy Mexican cows, I'm gonna die!' I said that in my mind, of course. The dare was:
Alix: I dare you to kiss your crush... It's about time you tell him that you like him! Send a picture of you kissing him!
"Are you feeling okay?" Adrien asked. "Yasss! I mean yes - Heh," I replied awkwardly.' Her stutter is so cute!' Adrien thought. I scooched closer to Adrien, thankfully my Mom wasn't here to take another 'Adrienette' picture. He was looking out the window. 'A peck on the cheek would be fine, I guess.' I thought. I told Alya to take a picture of me kissing Adrien. "One pic, coming up! Now DO IT! KISS HIM!" Alya whisper-shouted to me. I pecked his cheek, and Alya snapped the picture at the right time. Adrien was shocked, I guess he didn't like the kiss. Maybe he hated it! Maybe he even despised it! Oh God, what am I going to do!?
Alya: *Sends Pic* This is the pic!
A/N: Marinette is kissing Adrien on the cheek. Just imagine it happening in a car, with Marinette sitting in the seat next to him.
Alix: Ooh la la! Amazing! :D
Me: I'm going to kill you! :(
Adrien: You didn't like the kiss?
Me: I did... I just - Nevermind
Adrien: Okay... I guess :(
Me: Sorry, Adrien... I'll explain later. Anyway, bye! I'm leaving this group chat... I'll join it again tomorrow
Alix: Okay, bye!
Marinette has left the group chat.
The entire way home, I didn't talk to Adrien. I couldn't talk to him, especially now that he knows he's my crush. WAIT! OH NO! HE KNOWS THAT HE'S MY CRUSH!!!!!!!!!! I am so going to kill Alix tomorrow!
Third P.O.V
Lila was in her dorm. Obviously, she was planning her new idea to ruin Marinette's life. "Ugh, Maritrash and that dorky girl, Alya, don't deserve this world," Lila shouted. Honestly, Lila is such a coward (And loser). Since Mr. Damocles suspended Lila, she couldn't attend any classes. But Mr. Damocles allowed her to attend live classes because he didn't want the class to learn information she's not learning. Lila hated live classes. "Seriously, how is this counted as a suspension? They just locked me in my dorm! Weirdos," Lila furiously mumbled in her dorm, where no-one could hear her.
