Adrien's POV
Every second in this classroom I stared ahead, not listening to the droning voice of the teacher, only fighting off my need to turn around.
Turn around and look at the beautiful girl behind me.
Who, you might ask?
Marinette.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng.
I've had a crush on Marinette for about a year now. After the fiasco with her blaming me for putting gum on her seat, she apologized for judging me so quickly. I planned to apologize to her first, but she walked up to me in the rain and handed me her pink umbrella with the letter M stitched onto it. It was probably handmade, and she might have spent a lot of time on it, but she lent it to me anyway.
I have treasured it ever since.
I always want to tell her that I like her, maybe ask her out, but every time I see her, I lose my voice.
Plagg tells me that I should get over her and "stick to cheese". I don't know why I ever bother asking that cheese brain for advice.
But every time I see her beautiful bluebell eyes, I can't help but fall in love with her more.
Finally the class ended and I stood up quicker than anyone else and turned around. Marinette was getting her bag and purse and she looked up at me and smiled. A smile just for me that lit up my day. I tried to smile just as brightly back, and I was holding myself together to make sure I didn't melt into a pile of goo.
"H-hey Mar-Marinette! Wh-Whats up?" I stuttered.
"Hello Adrien! Not much, I've just got a lot more homework, especially with this new Language Arts project. I wonder who my partner will be! I hope it's not Chloe..." she replied.
And just as she finished, said annoying blonde girl crashed into me.
"Oh Adrikins, what are you doing here! Come lets go eat lunch at a fancy restaurant before dealing with that commoner Ms. Bustier and her boring class. Ugh, get away Marinette. We don't need peasants like you here," Chloe said, while Marinette and I rolled our eyes.
"Actually Chloe," Marinette began, and I saw that fire lighting up in her beautiful eyes. "This is my desk and you're blocking the way, so if you could pleeease-" she squeezed by Chloe until she was right next to me. I held my breath. "Move out of the way, that would be fantastic. Anyway, bye Adrien!" she finished.
I let go of the breath I was holding because of her close proximity.
"B-Bye Ma-Marinette!" I replied cheerfully.
Chloe glared at me and I brushed past her as we walked out of the school and approached a tree. As soon as we were under the shade, she dropped her angry look and replaced it with one that was both concerned and amused.
"Come on, Adrien," she said. "You're a model. You're never going to win her heart by saying 'O-oh M-Marin-n-nette-tte, h-hi i-it's m-me A-a-'"
"Alright, alright, I get it Chlo, but there's nothing I can do. She's just so fantastic and dreamy and beautiful and perfect..."
Her eyes softened.
"Then go get her Adrien," she replied. "You can do it."
Suddenly, a crash sounded around and I groaned.
"Ugh another akuma attack! Seriously Hawkmoth!" I yelled.
Chloe smirked.
"Go on, go meet your love bug, kitty," she said.
I glared at her, trying to hold back my smile.
"I don't love her, you know that," I replied.
"Oh, keep telling yourself that, but just watch. You'll get married someday.." she whispered, amused.
"CHLOE!" I exclaimed.
"We're just friends!"
Hi guys!
So, I just had this cool idea about switching who loved who and I wanted to write it down.
Please, please, pleaseeeee let me know it you like it. I'm planning to make the next chapter either:
1-a backstory for the Origins episode(s) (but, you know, the love things are switched)
or
2-Marinette/Ladybug's perspective
Let me know in the reviews, or if not I'll decide….
:)
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed! More is on the wayyyyy!
