Made on Shoplook (previously on Polyvore but then they shut down. I tried my best to recreate the outfits ^.^)

Alaya's P.O.V. 

"It's... It's my mom..."

"Excuse me guys... I gotta take this." I stood up, walking to a nearby tree and leaning against it, pressing the answer button. A lump caught in my throat as I lifted the device to my ear. 

"Uhm... Hello?" I asked into the phone, trying to swallow my nervousness. 

"Hello, Alaya." Responded a monotone voice, showing very little emotion. 

"Hi, Mother." I sighed out, "Why are you calling?" Mother wouldn't call unless something she deemed 'important' was happening. 

"Well, I wanted to ask how you were doing." She replied, causing me to scoff. 

"No, you didn't. Why did you call Mother?" She let out an exasperated sigh. 

"You remember Ethan?" I immediately hated this call. Of course I remembered him. 

"Ethan Kramer?" I asked, just to clarify. 

"Of course. Who else?" I groaned. 

"Of course I remember him, Mother. What about it?" 

"Well, he's going to Paris! He's going to meet you there and go to the same school as you! Isn't that exciting?" No. No, it was not exciting. 

"You guys will have photo shoots together! You know how much money that will bring in for us?" Of course. I should've known that this was it. All about the money. My other fist clenched as I slouched against the tree. I wasn't mad. That would be an understatement. I was livid. I hung up on her (she was talking about how excited she was or something like that) and relaxed against the tree, struggling to keep in tears of rage and anguish in. I didn't know what to do. I hit the tree a few times before trying to calmly walk back to the others, sitting back down on the bench, giving Alya the rest of my food. I didn't feel like eating. Not after that. Alya must've noticed that something was wrong, because she started asking questions. 

"What's wrong? What'd she say?" I didn't answer her. I didn't feel like it. I felt like crying and punching someone at the same time.

It took me about a half hour to give up and figure out I was probably overreacting. By that time, we had to go home to get ready. I stood up. 

"C'mon guys." I said shortly and simply, unable to get my mind off of the Ethan thing. Us girls walked back to Alya's house, the guys going over to Adrien's to get ready. When we got to Alya's house, we helped each other get outfits planned, then we each took turns taking showers (Alya's family wasn't gonna be back from their vacation for a few more weeks), getting dressed before doing our hair and makeup. A couple hours passed and we were finally ready, the boys said they would be over in a few.

Marinette was wearing a red high-low cocktail dress with a semi - sweetheart neckline, a bow wrapped around her waist, the tulle train trailed behind her wherever she went.  She wore red suede caged sandal high heels with full back closure. Her hair was in two buns which both had ladybug bows atop them.

Alya wore a dark red short high-low evening gown with a sweetheart neckline that legit looks like blood dripping down a wall. It was super-cool (I had to change it a it but the original dress (from Polyvore) was really great). She had a black belt around her waist that was adorned with all sorts of jewels. With her dress she wore black converse (in case she had to run, she said). Her hair was curled and pulled into a high ponytail that bounced as she moved.

I, however, was wearing a navy blue tulle dress by Jovani, with a sheer high neckline, a beaded bodice, and a tiered skirt. The dress was a fit and flare, the waistline squeezing tightly around me as if I were wearing a corset. With it, I wore navy blue suede platform heels that were accentuated by a beaded ankle strap, and held a blue & silver leather handbag. Alya had placed a tiara on top of my head so I guess I was wearing that too. My hair was in a half up-do, a braid coming back to my curly hair, holding the stupid tiara in place.

I sat down on the isle while Mari and Alya talked - well, more of Alya tried getting Mari's attention and Mari was daydreaming about Adrien (you know how it goes). I sighed, getting some time to ponder what Mum had told me earlier. 

Ethan... Come here? I had to fight the urge to cry just thinking about him and now I had to face him on a daily basis? I fought back the urge to cry, as we had literally just done our makeup. I wanted a hug, but I don't think anyone here would be willing to give me one. 

The ring of the doorbell brought me back to reality. I jumped, while Alya rushed to answer the door. The guys walked in, Nino hugging Alya and giving her a kiss on the cheek, while Adrien walked past them, obviously uncomfortable with the display of affection. I giggled faintly at his reaction before quickly looking away. 

What was I doing? What am I thinking?! He's Mari's! 

Speaking of.... I had to come up with a plan to get them together. Hopefully tonight. 

Ohh! Maybe I could 'accidentally' bump Mari into him and Alya could 'accidentally' bump Adrien into Mari making them kiss! 

But they've already kissed, dumbass. I argued with myself. 

Oh. Right. Truth or dare. 

I sighed. How come they weren't together already? I've done everything I can! They've kissed, cuddled, even slept next to each other! What else can I do? 

What about having Alya partner up with Nino while I partner up with Nathanaël the next time we have partner projects? 

That sounds right but it could take forever. Who knows when the next partner project could be? 

Right. What about... How about a date? All five of us can go swimming together but we come up with ways to get Mari and Adrien together? 

What if they think you guys are just trying to avoid them so they get depressed because they're not good enough? Remember what happened wit- 

Yes! I know. Shut up!

"Are you okay?" I squeaked, jumping at the sudden voice next to me, nearly falling off the isle. 

"Uh.... Adrien! Yeah! I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I asked, trying to imagine why he would think I wasn't okay. He shook his head. 

"Never mind. So what was the call from your mom about?" He asked me, actually genuinely wanting to know, not that I was gonna tell him. I looked away, silently telling him not to think about that.

I jumped off the isle, almost breaking an ankle by being an idiot, tripping as my ankle bent beneath me. I felt Adrien's firm grip on my arm, holding me up so I didn't fall. My eyes widened slightly and I felt my face turn red from embarrassment. It was hard for me to be seen in such a clumsy state because I would usually get ridiculed for it, but this time my embarrassment was even worse, for a reason I couldn't figure out. A small part of my mind, the dark side of my consiousness, kept telling me that it was because I had feelings for him. I, however, pushed that aside, figuring that it was the fact that he was another model, and I was trying to size him up and show I was better, and that tripping didn't help my case. 

"Sorry... I'm so clumsy..." I stated, pulling my hand from his grip and smoothing out my dress. 

"Oh, no. I totally get it," He pointed to the heels on my feet, "Those are torture devices-..." I furrowed my brow at him before he quickly continued, "...O-Or, so I'm told... At least." I nodded, slightly confused. 

"Yeah... Hey! I have an idea! How 'bout you go talk to Mari! I'm sure she'd love that!" He suddenly had an indescribable look on his face, something that communicated that he was scared, confused, and maybe a little sad, along with a whole bunch of emotions. 

"No, I'm not joking. Mari would legit love that." After a while I sighed, mumbling, "Sorry..." and looking down. He moved closer, apparently trying to hug me to make me feel better (of course he was. He was too... Ugh he was so perfectttt), but I moved back. I didn't need the drama that would come if he even touched me. Instead I scooted him back and carefully stood up on the isle. 

"We should get going guys! We have a ride, right?" Adrien nodded. 

"We have my ride." I jumped down. 

"Okie." I began walking out, stepping into Adrien's limo that was parked outside, his driver holding open the door. Everyone else followed me, sitting down. Once we were all situated, we were off to Chlo's party.
