Chapitre 15: Avoiding Time Breaking
"Don't panic, I'll come over to help you."
"Oh my god, thank you so much!"
I sighed. "Your welcomed."
*beep*
This is a disaster.
I was on my way to the venue of Alix and Kim's match, but Marinette suddenly phoned me, asking me to help her take the banner with me because she needed to give Nadia Chamack.
Without thinking, I said yes. I've bonded with that girl a lot, and I consider her to be my best friend along with Alya, and while I don't have a problem saying no to others, my bestfriends are a different case.
I slumped towards the bakery but then started to run after a few minutes. If I had kept up my previous speed, I might miss the race and fail to prevent Alix's watch getting broken, leading her to be akumatised.
"I'm *huff* H-*puff*-ere!"
I swung the bakery door open, Marinette was sitting behind the counter doing some math homework give by Miss Bustier.
"Yin! Thank You for coming! Here's the banner!"
I gave her a defeated smile. "My pleasure."
"Hello, Yin! Have a cookie, you've ran so far!"
I giggled. "Thanks, Tikki!"
"Again, I'm so sorry for making you do this, but thank you!"
"No problem Marinette, I agreed to this already."
********
"There you are, girl." called Alya.
"Here's-*gasps*-the banner!"
I rolled out the roll of cloth in my hand.
"Unfortunately, Marinette couldn't make it since she had some errands to run for her parents, so I came with the banner instead."
"You've all picked the wrong side to cheer on," said a cocky Kim. "Looks like Alix isn't even showing up! Probably too chicken to race an extreme athlete like me!"
"Spoke too soon, Kim."
"Alix!" Cheered everyone.
"Your ridiculous bets are over! I'm going to leave you in the dust, bee head!" What's wrong with bees?
"Your no match for me, my neck is bigger than your thigh!" Weird flex, but you do you.
Beside me, Alya giggled. "Is that a good thing?"
Laughing along, I just shrugged my shoulders.
Finally, Max came between the two competitors and announced the rules.
"Let's review the official rules, two laps around the fountain' approximately 500 yards. The first one over the line is declared the victor.
"If Kim triumphs, Alix relinquish her rollerblades to him. If Alix triumphs, Kim will be prohibited from making any bets for the rest of the school year."
"We're through with all the stupid dares!"
"Yeah, that's right!"
"No more dares!" It isn't hard to tell which side the crowd is on, but who could blame them? Kim is almost as annoying as my little brother, and that's saying something.
"On your marks, get set-"
"Hold up!"
Max was interrupted by Alix who suddenly stood up. She also scared Kim, making him fall on his chest and giving the audience a good laugh.
"Forfeiting already?" Teased Kim.
Alix ignored him and turned towards Alya. "Hold this for me, will you Alya? I don't wanna drop it during the race."
"W-wait, I can't I gotta-"
"Guard it with your life, it's a family heirloom."
"Hey, why don't I hold it for you Alix? Alya needs to film the race for her blog and she might drop it since she needs to hold two things at once."
"Sure, but be careful with it!" And with that, she skated on to the race track.
"On your marks, get set, go!"
Alix an Kim dash forwards, both were extremely fast but Kim seemed to be getting a bit of a lead.
I looked down to the watch in my pocket. It would probably be safe there, but just in case...
"Hey, Adrien?"
"H-huh? Mess- I mean um, yes?"
"I was wondering if you could hole the banner for me. I'm guarding Alix's watch for her and I don't wanna risk dropping it."
"Oh, maybe I could hold the watch?"
"Um, sorry Adrien, but I promised to guard this with my life and I can't break that promise and just hand it over to you. Don't get me wrong though, your a really trustworthy guy, just not this time, eh?"
"Oh, okay..." He looked kinda disappointed, and I almost gave the watch to him. Seeing that sad face was unbearable, especially since I was the one who caused it, but I stopped myself before I could get the first word out. I can't risk Chloe taking the watch and dropping it like what had happened in the original plot.
The race ended almost a minute after, Alix being declared winner.
"Sigh, I guess I could go one month without any bets..."
"Sorry he burst your bubble, Kim, but you actually agreed to stop for an entire year," I reminded.
"What?"
********
My first akuma prevention! It isn't even that big of a deal but I feel so happy I could probably finish that math Miss Bustier gave us.
Anyways, Timebreaker is out and next on the list, Mister Pigeon.
