"So I heard a special someone is coming back home." Alya nudged Marinette.
"Really, who?" Marinette asked mindlessly.
"Adrien Agreste! Remember, the guy that left for a year for some modelling thing, you were completely in love with him." Alya reminded the flushed Marinette.
"Was! I don't like him anymore. He left and moved on." Marinette snapped.
"Girl, look I know he broke your heart by leaving and not telling you, but that's in the past. You have to show him that you're strong and better off without him." Alya motivated the angry Mariette.
"Yeah, you're right, but right now we have to get to school or we're going to be late." Marinette opened the door.
"Hey, remember when you used to be late." Alya laughed.
"Yeah, don't remind me." Marinette rolled her eyes and locked the door with a large smile.
Adrien left for a year for a modelling gig. He left without telling anyone, including Marinette. Before he left him and Marinette got really close. They started going out. But after graduation they all got told he left to fly off to ,god knows where and dumped Marinette. Nothing. He left her with nothing. She moaned for almost 6 months. She took the first term off to get over him. By the second term Alya was tired of Marinettes bullshit and so was Marinette. She was tired of feeling lonely and pathetic. So she changed, Alya, Marinette, and Nino got accepted to this fancy college where they could proceed with their dreams. But Adrien's coming back. Marinette already has enough to deal with. She's been handling Paris just fine on her own.
"How could he do that? He just left Ladybug like that. Stupid cat." Alya spit out. Nino came up behind the girls and put his arm around Alya's shoulder.
"He might have a reason." Nino suggested.
"Yeah him and every other guy." Marinette added.
"You go gi-"
"AAHHH!" Alya got interrupted mid-sentence by an ear-piercing scream.
"Oh my god, I got to get this for the ladyblog." Alya runs off with her phone in her hand.
"Alya!" Nino trails off following her. Marinette finds a corner and transforms. Marinette transforms into her red and black costume.
"The bitch will die!" An akumatized villain shouts and shoots a ray of light at civilians. She has spiked black hair with red diamond shaped glasses. Her costume consists of a thigh length ride skirt with leather belts wrapping her legs. She wears a shoulder less black top designs of red neon stripes graffiti. Ladybug enters the scene and swings her yo-yo at the villain's wrist.
"Hey!...Brat!" the villain shouts at ladybug.
"Give it up!" Ladybug shouts as she dodges another attack. She retreated her yo-yo around Seeker's wrist.
"The names Seeker. And you're going to get squashed!" Seeker tells Ladybug.
"Oh ya, well seek this!" Ladybug throws her yo-yo at Seeker. It pasts Seeker.
"Ha, you missed." Seeker runs towards Ladybug. Ladybug dodges Seeker's attack and says with a smirk.
"Did I?" Seeker turns around and Ladybugs yo-yo hits her right in the face, Seeker's glasses fall to the ground and smash into pieces. The akuma flies out and Ladybug catches it in her yo-yo. She turns the evil akuma into an angelic white butterfly and watches it fly into the sky.
"Bye bye little butterfly." Beep Beep. Her miraculous beeps in sign that she's going to de-transform. Ladybug goes back to the place she transformed, de-transforms and runs back to the place she last saw Nino and Alya.
"Marinette!" She hears Alya calling from behind her.
"Girl where have you been? I got awesome footage from the scene." Alya tells Marinette.
"Yeah, and you almost died!" Nino adds.
"Don't be dramatic." Alya says with a wave of her hand.
"I lost both of you, so I found a place to hide... CRAP! We're really late to class, we have to go!" Marinette tells the arguing couple. They run through the front doors and to class they go. Marinette's first class is with Nino and it's economics. Alya has filming. So the group splits up and goes to their seperate classes. The economics teacher had his back turned to the class, but as the two sneak into class Marinette, as her clumsy-self, trips over a chair leg and disturbed the whole class.
"Ms Dupain- Cheng and Mr Laiffe. Glad that you could join us today. And why are you late?" The teacher says. Marinette opened her mouth and tried to form words.
"Well you see we- uh, it'z a lung-"
"We were in an akumatized scene." Nino interrupts and saves both their asses.
"Very well take a sit." The teacher says and continues on writing what he was writing on the board.
"Thanks." Marinette whispers to Nino.
"No problem." The class was long, boring and tiring. Luckily for them, they didn't have to go to their next class.
"So Just to be sure, Adrien is coming today, most likely next class." Marinette asked Alya and Nino unsurely.
"Yeah, that's what I heard."Alya said.
"If not next class sometime during today, why?" Nino finished.
"I don't want any surpri-
"Aaahhhh!" A limo pulled up in front of the school and a bunch of girls went sprinting to it.
"Here we go again." Alya says rolling her eyes.
"A limo pulls up; a cute guy walks out." Nino adds.
"A bunch of girls go on the hunt just to touch him." Alya finishes.
"And this person is..." Nino's interrupted.
"Adrien Agreste." Marinette finishes. She grabs her bag off the grass and walks off. Alya perks up and asks.
"Yo, girl where you are going!?" Marinette turns around with her hands up.
"I need some air." She says in a rush.
"We're outside!" Alya replies. Marinette just keeps walking and doesn't answer.
Marinette had her next class with Adrien. She really isn't in the mood to deal with this.
"Good morning class."
Adrien walked in, there was a free seat next to Marinette, the only free seat. Marinette was getting her books when Adrien took his seat. She looked up and saw Adrien, she flinched in her seat. Everyone stares, but Adrien isn't surprised. Marinette can't focus on class when the guy who broke her heart is sitting next to her. Marinette checks her schedule, Adrien is in all her classes for the rest of the day. 'Damn it!' She thinks to herself. The bell goes. Adrien looks at his schedule and thinks to himself. 'Where the hell is drama? Okay, Marinette's in drama with me and she's one of the three people I know here. Okay, okay, okay. Here we go, you can do this Agreste.'
They both pack up, Adrien slowly picks up his bag and watches Marinette get up from her seat. He follows suit and stops at the doorway.
"...Um, Marinette?" he asks really nervously. Marinette stops and turns around.
"Yeah?" She answers with a fake smile.
"Can you show me where the drama class is?" he asks.
"...Sure." They walk in awkward silence.
"...So... Um, how've you been?" Adrien asks.
"Awful. Oh, we're here." She deadpans.
She takes a seat at the top right and Adrien at the bottom left. The teacher walks in and introduces herself.
"Hello, I'm Ms. Etourdissant. " And she really was. Light brown-honey long hair, hazel eyes, tall and had fair skin.
"I'll be your drama teacher for the rest of the year, the first thing we will be doing this year is a play. One of the most famous romance skits by shakespeare. Can anyone tell me what it is?Yes, you in the front."
"The Winters Tale?"
"No, but good try." Adrien put his hand up.
"Yes, blonde haired boy."
"Is it The Two Noble Kingsman ?"
"No, the famous romance play we will be doing- Yes, girl with the blue hair." The whole class looks at Marinette, including Adrien.
"Romeo and Juliet." Marinette speaks with confidence. The teacher twitches her head.
"Yeh-yes, um we'll be doing Romeo and Juliet. Auditions are after school today. Right now we'll go over the lines and do a few scenes." Ms. Etourdissnat tells the class.
"So if we could have everyone grab a script. Who would like to play Romeo and Juliet?" She asks the class. No one seemes to volunteer.
"I'll do it." Adrien says with a little wave.
"I'm Juliet." Chloe states tugging onto Adrien's arm.
"Isn't that right Adri-honey?" Chloe asks Adrien.
" If anyone else wants to be Juliet I think you should at least let them have a try." Adrien says. Chloe gives every girl a dirty look, even Marinette. How dare she? She has no right to tell people what and what not to do. Marinette get's out of her sit and walk up to Adrien and Chloe.
"I'd like to go over the scenes as Juliet." Marinette says with crossed arms staring at Chloe.
"Marientte's a horrible actor, trust me. She's clumsy an-" Ms. Etourdissant interrupts.
"Sorry Chloe, but if anyone wants the part they have to audition, even you. You're welcome to go over the scene...Um"
"Marientte." She answers.
"Marinette." Ms. Etourdissant repeats and walks away. Chloe gives Marinette a dirty look and Marinette's shoots one back. Chloe flips her hair and walks off.
"Okay let's go over the first Romeo and Juliet scene." Ms. Etourdissant tells the class. The class sets up.
"Marinette, Adrien just go over the first scene for us please." Ms. Etourissant says to them.
"Wait wha?" Marinette asks with a dumb face. They go through the scene to show other people, who wants to audition for the role, what to do. A few mistakes pronounceing the words as they were doing the original play from back in the days of Shakespeare. The class would share a laugh or two at some scenes students did dramatically. They finish off on a good note and the bell goes.
"Alright for those who want to get a role in the play, auditions are after school tomorrow." Ms. Etourdissant says as the class exits.
Marinette tries very not to walk with Adrien and wal as far away from him as possible. She has no reason to talk to him. But no matter what she did she somehow and to enter act with him. In her literature class she had to explain what they were writing about. In drawing class he had to ask her what was happening and few tips on this and that. Each and every time dreadful. Each and every time painful. She dint want to talk about the past and Adrien catcher on, so he never brought it up.
Classes ended and the school day was over. She met up with Alya and they grabbed a bite to eat before they head home. Today, she could get through. But what about tomorrow
