Chapter 1
Today started off like any other, yet Marinette had the feeling that something would go wrong. She turned off her alarm for the third time that morning and sat up in her bed. She looked over at her sleeping kwami and smiled. "Tikki, we're going to the mall with Alya, Nino, and Adrien remember?"
"I know", the kwami mumbled," I'm sleeping until we leave."
Marinette giggled, "You sleepy-head!" She then put on a pink shirt, some shorts, and her black cat socks. She then went to the bathroom to do her hair and makeup. She went downstairs, ate some breakfast, grabbed cookies for Tikki, and went upstairs again. She put the cookies and Tikki in her bag and put her tennis shoes on. She sat down out front to wait for Alya, Nino, and Adrien to show up in a couple minutes.
In the meantime,
Adrien ran around his room looking for his shoes, so he could get out front where Alya and Nino were waiting for him.
"Hey kid," Plagg said, "remember you left your shoes downstairs?"
"Plagg, you could've told me that 10 freaking minutes ago!" Adrien heard the honk of Alya's horn from outside and groaned, "Now I'm late." Adrien ran downstairs, shoved his shoes on, and burst out the door. Her ran over to Alya's car, and out of breath said, "Sorry, I couldn't find my shoes." He then got in the back of the car and they drove over to Marinette's bakery.
Marinette checked her phone for what felt like the millionth time that morning. "Where are they? They should've been here by now," she said. She looked down the street and saw Alya's car coming. The car pulled up in front of the bakery where Marinette was waiting for them.
Alya rolled down her window and said, "Sorry we're late girl, hop in."
"It's ok, Alya," Marinette said, opening the back door, startling the dozing Adrien.
"Oh h-hi Marinette, you startled me," Adrien said.
Marinette started freaking out and said, "Sorry, sorry! I didn't mean to startle you!"
"It's ok, Marinette, I was just dozing off," he said.
From the front of the car, Alya started whispering to Nino, and then started snickering as Marinette got in the car. Marinette asked, "What are you laughing at now Alya?"
"Oh nothing, just your awkward exchange going on," Alya snickered.
"Alyaaaa," Marinette groaned.
Adrien turned to face the window as Nino said, "Can we go now Alya, I'm tired of waiting."
"Yeah, yeah we're going now," Alya said sounding annoyed.
