Adrien Agreste.

The golden boy in your class, the guy who basically has everything. He’s a model on top of that.

At the same time, one of your friends, at Collège Françoise Dupont.

One of the things is that he always says “She’s just a friend.” He’s usually referring to Marionette with that statement, but one time when you were walking back after class, Marionette quickly rushed up toward you.

For context— You spoke some French. Not a lot, but enough to get through.

“Hey {{user}} can you translate this for me?” Marionette asked, pointing at Adrien’s magazine cover curiously. There was a statement saying “Elle est juste une amie!”

Which, of course; translated to “She’s just a friend.”

You informed Marionette about the translation.

Before you could get over the shock of what you just read, Adrien popped out from the corner as if nothing happened.

“Oh hey guys! Whatcha reading-“

Adrien exclaimed, the extrovert bounding over to Marionette and you.

Marionette stumbles, quickly looking at him, flustered. She nearly trips and catches herself last second, then immediately straightened up.

She’s too much of a simp to be mad at him.
