Chapter 31: Unforgettable part One

✕♛✕♕✕✕♛✕♕✕

Today was a school free day, to give staff to prepare the Gymnasium and for students to get ready. Alya, Alix and I went to Tea time Dresses to buy a dress, and the other day we went for shoe shopping and planning out what we were wearing along with hair pins and headbands.

We all placed them in individual black shoe boxes, of course we went with our theme with having golden, rose gold or silver/ gray shoes.

Unfortunately, Alya had to go do something and will arrive later, and most of my friends had to do the same thing. I couldn't find the boys and ask them about anything because they too were also somewhere else.

Dismissing my thoughts, I started to get ready and pull down the zipper to reveal my gorgeous blue dress I was shocked to see what I had instead.

I stood there with my mouth gaping like a fish before getting my phone and texting her.

Marinette❤️: Alix?! I have your entire outfit?! Do you have mine? Alix: Oh shit you do? When I checked mine I had Alya's go to our dorm and collect Alya's dress and bring me mine, Alya must have your dress!

I shut my phone down before speeding out of my dorm, I noticed a few students chatting in the hallway all dressed up and ready to go. As I get closer to Alix's dorm, I hear something that makes my drop,

one of the girls start giggling. My pace slowed down as I was met with Alix's room, my gaze dropped to the floor.

When I enter her room, I don't look at anything but the black sleeve with Alya's clothes in it, in one swift simple movement I grab the dress and put the other sleeve on her bed before walking out. Blocking out the sounds and laughter from the outside world.

As I open the door and walk in, my mind drifted to other thoughts,

In a matter of seconds I collapsed onto the ground, letting a few tears run down.

___________________

I stared at myself in the mirror, it reflected a girl with no life in her eyes, no happiness in her smile, no love in her heart. Alya called a little while ago that she'll be getting ready somewhere else with the others, and we'll all meet up at the Gymnasium.

A Loud sigh escapes my lips before I put my necklace on, followed by adding my hair pin into my curled hair. In the distance I could hear music blasting, most likely that prom has already started.

When I finish up, all I could do was frown at myself. The make up covered the tear stains from my break down, one more look in the mirror I grab my purse and head out before locking the door. The hallways were quiet, my eyes were focus in front of me.

I felt an unforgettable presence coming toward me, making me immediately look down not wanting to look at the person in the eye. As Adrien passed by, he immediately stopped and grabbed my wrist softly, when I was met by his gaze, it was soft and regretful.

"You look beautiful tonight." And like that he walked away in his cat themed tuxedo somewhere else, I didn't want to smile but my heart said otherwise.

When I entered the Gymnasium, gold and white streamers were hanging from the ceiling, with a ballon arch at the front of the main door. Everyone dressed in fabulous dresses, decorated in jewellery from head to toe, as I shuffle through the crowds I receive compliments from my fellow peers of my dress or my hair.

I came in contact with someone, "S-sorry" I mumble, the mysterious person turns around revealing Jagged stone?! "Marinette! Long time no see" he says, he was wearing his normal outfit, his hair still with purple streaks but longer from a few years ago.

"Why are you here?"

"I didn't know where to hold my next concert, so the Mayor recommended this school something about boosting Chloe's popularity"

I couldn't help but snarl, "Don't worry I'll be voting for you, anyway see ya' Marinette!" He yells before disappearing into the crowd. I doubt I would win but it was nice to have him count on me, in the past he as asked me numerous favours on outfit designs and covers for new albums.

Sadly it decreased due to some random reason relating to the Mayor, but I still go to his concerts and talk with him. He's like a cousin, not blood related but we see each other from time to time.

I was wary of the food, who knows what Chloe put in the cupcakes to lead me to some horrifying scene near the bathroom, but I did drink the water. Bad idea.

It had a strong taste to it, before I could have anymore someone rudely took it out of my hands and walked off. "Have fun with that vodka sir!" I yell, he turns around and I notice it's Mr Damocles. Shit.

"I mean delicious water!?" I yell back before he could make up some weird assumption I did it. I feel flustered and embarrassed and I waddle somewhere else before anyone thinks about my weird contact with the Principal.

The music had a change, as cords were being plugged in making a loud ear splitting sound. By then I figured out who was up on stage, even if I couldn't see, the crowd started screaming as Jagged Stone starts introducing himself. After his speech music starts playing making everyone dance.

While I'm here betting on who's going to break a neck first, I'm betting on 3 dozen macaroons on Chloe who's doing a planned gymnastics dance routine in her 5 inch high heels.

I didn't particularly like the song so I decided to head out, before I bump into a few other people. "Mari!" Rose yells before helping me up and hugging me, I notice Juleka, Mylene, Alix, Kim, Max, Nathaniel, behind her. The boys in crisp suits whilst Juleka, Mylene and Rose are in matching dresses and Alix in her's with glittering jewellery.

I notice Alix and Kim's arms interlocked with each other, "what happened between you too?" I ask as Rose let's go of me. All Alix does is blush, whilst Kim looks away scratching the back of his neck.

"Alya said to meet her outside of the school, she said Nino and Her needed to talk to you about something," Juleka, mumbles. I only smile and nod before walking out.

When I push through the doors, a soft stream of light pours in, revealing fairy lights wrapping around the two pillars and one hanging with their ends taped to the end.

Little flowers, Bluebells, scattered all over the floor. I hear the door flap open and I turn around to see Adrien, standing there as shocked as I was.

"Marinette?"

"Adrien?"
