"Hey sweetie, how was school?" Sabine wrapped her daughter in a hug and walked into the kitchen.

"It was fine." Marinette shrugged and put her bag on one of the kitchen stools. She ed her mother and helped her prepare tonight's dinner.

"Is Alya still coming over?" Sabine peeled the potatoes and placed them in a nearby pot.

"Yes, she'll be here at around 5. Is that ok?" Marinette started rolling the sausage meat into cylinders and placing them on baking trays. Everything was always homemade in their house. It brought the family together and also made every meal cheaper which was an added bonus (especially since Marinette's education was costing a lot more).

"That's fine. I'm glad to see you're actually making friends this year."

"Me too." Marinette washed her hands under the sink and wiped them on a nearby dish cloth. "Is it ok if I leave you to do the rest? I have quite a bit of homework I need to finish."

"Of course, I'll call you down when it's ready." Marinette nodded and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"Love you mom."

"Love you too."

5pm came quickly and before they knew it a loud knocking was heard at the door. Marinette jumped off the couch and unlocked the door. Upon opening it Alya wrapped her best friend in a hug.

"Hey girl!" Alya released herself from the hug and walked into the living room. "Hey Mrs Cheng, how are you?"

"Oh please, call me Sabine. It's lovely to finally meet you." Sabine gave Alya a small hug and offered her a macaron.

"We'll be in my room if you need us." Marinette grabbed her friend's hand and climbed the stairs.

"Have fun girls." Sabine sat back down on the couch and turned on the television.

"You're mom is amazing! You must get a lot of amazing pastries since you own a bakery. I honestly thought I had the wrong place when I first saw it. But it's cool. I'm guessing you help out?"

"Woah, talk slower please. No wonder you want to be a journalist, you always have a lot to say." Marinette giggled and opened up the trapdoor leading to her room. "And yeah my mom is pretty awesome." Closing the door behind them, Marinette sat on her pink chair whilst Alya had a snoop around.

"Wow, nice room." Alya grinned at her friend as she leant against the table.

"Oh erm thanks." Marinette tapped her fingers against her leg, deciding how to tell Alya about Adrien. "Can I ask you something?"

"I'm your best mate, you can ask me anything!"

"Ok well how did you know Nino was the one? Like did you feel anything that made you realise you liked him or did it just happen naturally?" Alya cocked up an eyebrow, confused by the random question.

"I mean, we didn't really speak that much until we were paired off in science this one time. We then got talking and it kind of just happened from there. Feelings wise I guess in the first few weeks I did feel a bit shy towards him but that was soon replaced with confidence when we started going out." Alya smiled to herself at the memory and then looked to Marinette. "Why did you want to know?"

"Well um, I was just wondering as you have a close bond and I guess I was a bit curious." She plastered on her best fake smile to try and make her lie convincing yet Alya wasn't buying it.

"Who's the lucky lad?" Alya grinned as Marinette's cheeks flushed once again.

"I don't know what you're talking about Alya." Marinette avoided her gaze as Alya stared clapping her hands.

"My girl has a crush! Oh my god! Seriously though who is it? Some boys in our year look good but their attitude stinks so don't just tell me you like them based off looks." Alya lay down on the pink sofa and grinned widely at Marinette.

"I don't like anyone."

"Liar." Alya sat up and patted the fabric next to her. Reluctantly, Marinette stood up and sat next to her. "Come on, I'm your best friend you can tell me. If I know them then I can probably do some matchmaking."

"It's Adrien ok!" Marinette blurted out. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands. Did she really just say that out loud?

"Aweee you and Adrien would be so cute together. I mean I have a boyfriend but I can totally understand why you are crushing on him."

"Ok I've told you, now what?" Alya wrapped an arm around her friend.

"Now, you tell him." Marinette swiftly turned her head to face Alya.

"Absolutely not. You know I'll just mess up my words and probably end up talking about hamsters or something." Alya patted her friend's back before standing up and rummaging around in one of her draws.

"And that's why we'll write it down." Alya triumphantly found a piece of lined paper as she ed it over. "Just write a paragraph or so explaining how you feel. If you don't want him knowing who wrote it we can type it up later and not sign it."

"What if it's too early? I mean I haven't even been at the school for a month and I'm already writing love letters like I'm back in middle school."

"Just trust your heart. If it feels right, do it." Alya threw a binder at Marinette so she had something to lean on. "We have an hour to get this right so take your time."

"You're a great friend Alya." She put the piece of paper down and wrapped her friend in a tight hug.

"I know. Now quit stalling and let's write a love letter!"

15 minutes later and she had written a line:

Adrien, I'm trying not to make this sound cringe but I really suck at things like this so just bear with me.

"And you're really starting it like this?" Alya shook her head, trying her best to hold back a grin. "At this rate it'll be better if I just write on a sheet of paper that he has a secret irer and throw it at him."

"I told you I was bad at this!" Marinette scrunched up the paper and threw it into her bin.

"First off, great shot. Second, me a sheet and I'll write it. Just tell me the basis of what you want to write." Marinette reached over and grabbed a pile of paper and gave it to Alya. She picket up a pen and took off the cap.

"Um just say something about him having a great personality and that I like him for him. And that if he wants to stay friends then that's fine because he is just a great person to be around." She started fidgeting with her fingers, why was this making her so nervous?

"Yeah, we're not adding that part about him saying no. It shows that you're showing concern in your relationship and that may put him off."

"You mean our non- existent relationship?" Alya rolled her eyes but continued to smile.

"Ok, what do you think about this?" Alya ed Mari the paper as she skim read it.

"Alya that's perfect thank you!"

"No problem. Sorry I should go, we'll pick this up in school tomorrow. I'll meet you in the library before first lesson." Together they walked out of her room as Alya thanked Sabine and left their house.

As Marinette returned to her room she re-read the letter Alya wrote. Was she really ready to tell Adrien how she secretly felt?
