Animan

Kalianna walked through the courtyard and sat on a bench, she took out her sketchbook and started sketching a beautiful light blue dress that she was going to design when she had the time.

The girl put her sketchbook away and looked up, she saw Marinette and Alya sitting down by the stairs, reading La Mode, which was a magazine, and it was of course filled with pictures of Adrien.

Kalianna approached her friends and saw what they were reading. "Roar!" She shouted, which startled Marinette and Alya, causing the bluenette to drop the magazine in surprise.

"Kali! You scared us" Alya whined.

The black-haired girl laughed, her rare amber eyes sparkling like always when she was happy, she picked up the magazine and held onto it.

"Wow, I never knew you were such a big fan of Adrien Marinette!" Kalianna exclaimed.

"Y-yeah, I-I'm a super big fan! That's why I always stutter around him" Marinette lied. "Can you give me back the magazine?"

Kalianna smirked at her. "Viens le prendre de moi" She said in French.

Marinette looked at her in confusion. "What did you say?"

"Come take it from me" Kalianna translated in English, the girl then started running around the courtyard. Marinette playfully rolled her eyes and start running chasing after her as Alya started laughing at the two of them.

Meanwhile, from across the courtyard, Nino was watching the entire scene. Well, he was actually watching Kalianna.

"FYI, Marinette's never gonna fall in love with a statue" Adrien teased from behind of his best friend.

Nino pulls Adrien away so they can hide. "Shhh! You know I'm no good with the ladies, especially this one all of a sudden. And FYI, the girl I'm interested in is Kalianna, not Marinette"

Adrien eyes widened. "Oh...so you like...Kalianna?" He asked, clenching his fists.

"Yeah! What's not to like about her? She's got brains, beauty, a lot of talents, and she's got a charming personality" Nino said, not noticing Adrien's balled up fists. "I mean, what should I do? Do I crack a joke? Shoot her a compliment? Invite her to the zoo? Play it serious?"

Jealousy flashed in Adrien's eyes, he started thinking about what to say to Nino so he couldn't make a move on his girl.

...But he couldn't make up any convincing words. "Uh, Nino, I'm going to the bathroom, be back in a sec" He then quickly walked towards the restroom and went inside, leaving Nino to ponder about his feelings for Kalianna.

Plagg flew out of Adrien's jacket and saw that the green-eyed boy was trying to compose himself from breathing so fast.

"Whoa, are you okay?" Plagg asked.

"No, no I'm not okay!" Adrien exclaimed as he paced back and forth in the empty bathroom.

"I heard everything that Nino was telling you" Plagg uttered.

"I know. And I really need someone to talk to right now"

Plagg sighed. "Alright, I'll be your therapist"

Adrien stopped pacing and turned to the levitating kwami. "Really?"

"You obviously need to get some stuff off your mind, especially after you just heard that your best friend has a crush on YOUR secret girlfriend. Now, first question, how do you feel around Kalianna?"

Adrien sat down in a stall and Plagg followed after him.

"Well...when I'm around her, I can feel my heart beating faster, sometimes I get nervous, and I feel like I have no troubles in the world. When I'm around her, I feel excited, happy, light-hearted"
