Am I that Unlovable? by Summer Cheng

Chapter 23

  Alya's POV:

   I  waited to see what happened.

   Strange, the bee had not taken the bait yet.

  I smiled.

  I texted Nino and told him what I planned.

  I could visualize his eyes roll back as he sent an emoji that showed his disapproval at once.

 Alya's  POV:

  "Pfft, as much as I loved Nino, the guy needed to learn to cut me some slack."

    I have dated him, for like what four years now? No, it was more like six.

   I  wondered if he would ever take the hint to put a ring on my finger.

   I figured I only gave him subtle hints more times than I could count.

 Alya's POV:

 I recalled how sullen both Marinette and Adrien looked.

  Tsk, tsk, too bad they were both burnt.

"Whoa, that is it! I have the most brilliant idea ever!"

   Why had not I thought of it before? I thought.

   I knew it had to work.

  If not then, I had failed.

   Yep, the operation set 'em up was a go!

Alya's POV:

I knew it was not the smartest plan, but who cared.

  I am sure they would thank me later.

  I just knew it.

  I  set up Marinette's profile on a website I specially designed for people like those two.

  I  set up Adrien's profile on the website too.

   Of course, I did not dare to use their real names.

 No, that was too obvious.

  I  used the code names Ladybug and Chat Noir.

  I thought them to be rather cute.

 Besides, I reasoned Marinette always did like spots, and Adrien had a thing for black cats.

  It was like it was destined to be for those two.

  Only they just did not know it yet.

   Alya's POV:

    I wondered, though, how they would ever meet up?

    I sighed.

   I  nodded my head.

   That is it, I thought, I just have to get Marinette to agree to join this special Chat room I invented that is linked to the website. Then, I will have to get Nino to convince Adrien to join it too.

   Yep, that is it!  

  What could possibly go wrong?
