Chapter 10 - friends...A new year pt.10

Going off blindly I was to get close with Chatnoir, I vow that night to never see him again for it may cause trouble in the future. The moment I got to the clubhouse I was crying in my room and de-transformed as someone was knocking on my door and I was almost panicking. I opened it and saw Nathaniel, I didn't want him to see me in this state and I was in no state to text or say anything so we just stayed there and cried as Nathaniel had comforted me for a while. Nathaniel being so busy he had to leave and I had gone as well. We walked separate ways and along the way, I found a boy with blue hair playing the guitar it was very soothing I could almost not hear myself throughout the night and so it was a calm night for that of set terms were made so. The boy had finished playing and came up to me saying "hey you alright? you've been here for a while I didn't want to leave you here alone" in such a nice tone I thanked him for being so nice to a stranger and took out my tablet and with the voice "I'll stay a bit longer to hide what just happened to me before", the boy couldn't leave me out here he wanted me to stay with him for a bit to not be alone on the streets, I was cautious but he led me to a ship and I stayed on the ship looking out on the sea as it was a beautiful night. The boy had come out with hot cocoa and a blanket, the moment he saw my eyes, it was clear and reflective of the moon in the water as he saw Scarlet as if she was the sea in motionless. He went up to me and gave me a cup and put the blanket around my shoulder. Using the phone -

"Thanks, I really appreciate your help and sorry for being a disturbance, I'll figure out how to repay you back. Here's my number, call if you need a friend or assistance but I probably won't pick up because of my dance lessons" lending out a hand to the stranger

"So guessing you like dancing" stating the obvious

"Yes I do I'm pretty into it but I more self-taught" talks with admiration for dancing

"Nice then when the time comes I can see you dance"

"That'll probably come anytime" smiled

"Okay, then I'll keep this." putting it in his back pocket and Scarlett looking back at the sea and moon. The boy went in and came back out later putting a note next to me, reading "My name is Luka" with a number beside it, I looked at him and shown the words "Scarlett" he looked at me "nice name" then point back inside. The next morning I left everything beside their doorstep and leaving and note, and of course, when I got home I was punished and had to do labor and work to make up for my mishap. So my sibling was happy I was safe but to never do it without permission, I went to school that day for a half a day and Nathaniel texted if I was okay and right after school Adrien had called for me I was really in a hurry to spend time with the guys since I have labor duties, all Adrien wanted to say was about the party I was surprised about the question and now whoever is Adrien's' friend is for me to never meet or know so the moment I looked on my watch Adrien had read me easily and allowed me to lace with a gift, seem like more sweets. The moment I arrived at the office they were very busy and I was so happy to hang out with them and eat sweats but they let me eat most of them. But my time was short and I had to go home and Do my duty's I didn't want my friends to see the butler that will pick me up so I left in time to see the butler and had gone back and Nathaniel and Marc had told me that they'll pick me up when I'm done. The butler and other maids kept on eying me the whole time, it was weird and giving me the cold shoulder. It was time that my family had left to go to the ball and siblings are hoping ill make it in time, leaving clothes on my bed. Later on, when I nearly finished, my friends arrived at the door looking...pretty fancy and handsome. The maids then let me go up to my room and made Nathaniel and Marc wait inside as I have gone up to change into the dress my siblings bought, It was pretty but it seems I couldn't wear anything else but that because they hid my clothes somewhere else. I've worn the dress, it felt pretty weird wearing it to the ball, I had gone downstairs and as I went, the maids gave me the jacket and the guys had a weird face, it might have been in my head but was their sparkle in their eyes when I had seen them. "Hey, thanks for the wait" looking at them "you guys look well, business suits?" Marc snapped out of it and had said "no it came from my dad and he wanted me to wear something other than my suit tonight" sadly showing that he only has one suit and Nathaniel responding "Nah this was a gift from my family"

We all left for the ball but I told them to stop by the clubhouse, I went to grab a bracelet. But at the moment I forgot that it was now or never. I went to Nathaniel and Marc and sat them on the couch-

"Scarlett the party is waiting for us, we go quick if you want to participate" Nathaniel pointing out the objective

Marc following along "Hey you okay?" I went up to both of them and took out their ear-piece and took a breath, everyone was waiting for what ill do next-

I felt so scared at this moment and really tense "Nathaniel, Marc" I spoke with my voice for the first time in front of them, they were surprised and I didn't know what they were thinking next but their reply was,

"Scarlet you can speak?" Marc in a surprising voice filled with betrayal but the look on Nathaniel's face was more or less doughtful of me and took a breath, "Scarlett we need time to think you can go to the party well tell you if we come or not" Nathaniel leaving right after that and Marc following along with him. I was about to cry but I kept in my tears and had confidence that the truth was gonna lead out some time and I want to have Nathaniel and Marc be my friends still. I went out and in an alley, I had transformed as Viola and checked the Ball event and looked as I was imagining what fun could have been if Nathaniel and Marc and I were here. I cried a bit of tears and heard a voice calling me, it sounded familiar but I ignored it and had left to the rooftop to watch the stars. I then remembered about that boy from last time, his name was Luka.
