Chapter 1 Something's wrong, isn't it?
"Mari!" Alya shouted from the stairs of their school as she saw a blur of pink and blue run then fall in front of her.
"Oh, hey Alya!" Marinette said as her friend helped her off the ground.
"Girl, you gotta be more careful. I don't think Adrien would like you if you got bruises and stuff. He might think you get into a lot of fights."
"I guess you could be right." Marinette said. Just as she finished her sentence a sliver car pulled up and Adrien stepped out.
"Omg! Alya there he is!" Marinette whisper-shouted to Alya as she grabbed her best friend's arm. As the model get out of the car Marinettte noticed something off about him. He didn't have his normal smile on his face, no, it was more like a 'I know something you don't' kind of smile. That smile disappeared the moment he saw her staring at him.
"Oh, hey girls." Adrein greeted the 2 girls, "Do you guys feel like walking in together or…?", He asked.
"O-of course we c-could! I mean we would! I-I mean…!" Marinette was stopped by Alya. "We'd love to", she covered for her best friend.
"Okay then. Shall we ladies?" Adrein asked as he started up the stairs. Once they got into the classroom, Adrein was greeted by Nino and they all took their seats. As class started the teacher made an announcement.
"As you may have heard", she began, "there has been reports of recent crimes in the area, such as stealing and property damage."
'Tell me about it.' Marinette thought as she rolled her eyes. She and Chat Noir had been trying to find the criminals and put a stop to them. As you can guess, they had no luck with that. The teacher continued what she was saying.
"The police say that the ones responsible seem to be teenagers. So for your safety and innocence, please only go to school and home. If you must go some where else please go with an adult." She finished up with somewhat of a worried look. Everyone in the class exchanged glances with each other. Class went by like any normal class would, as the kids started to pack up the teacher made on more announcement too the class.
"One more thing students. We will be getting some new students in a couple of weeks. Alright class dismissed." She finished. After that everyone left the room. Marinette was walking with Alya when she felt a small tug on her jacket and heard a small "excuse me."
"Yes?" She asked. As she turned around she was meet with the pleasant site of the short red head that loved to draw. Nathaniel.
"I just wanted to ask you for some advice about this outfit for my new character." Nath told her as he turned his sketch book around so she could see the character.
"Woah." Mari and Alya said at the same time. The sketch of the girl was beautiful. The girl was tall and had REALLY long pitch black hair, so long that it went down to the back of her knees. She had light blue eyes and a round-ish nose. The outfit she had on was a long-sleeved light gray and dark gray striped shirt with a black crock top over it with the sleeves and bottom tattered or ripped. She also had baby blue jean shorts on over a pair of light gray tights. Then to top it off, a pair of black and white chucks. Skinny, the girl was skinny in a good way, t made her look prettier.
"S-so, is it okay?" Nathaniel asked.
"This is awesome Nath!" Marinette said kind of loudly. She really did love the drawing and the outfit complimented the girls form, but what made her uneasy was the girl's smile. It was just like the one Adrein had this morning, creepy, secretive. Just as Mari was about to ask about the smile, a small black car pulled up.
"Oh, my dad's here. Got to go, see you tomorrow Marinette!" Nathaniel said as he got in the car.
"Yeah. Bye" Mari said as she waved to him.
"You okay girl?" Alya asked.
" Yeah I'm fine." Marinette told Alya as she cover her worry with a goofy smile.
"Anyway got to go! Got things to do! Mari said as she ran home. Once she got home Tikki came out.
"Are you okay Marinette?" The kwami asked.
"I have a bad feeling about that drawing that Nathaniel showed me. I also think that something is wrong with Adrein."
"Oh you're just stressed Mari." Tikki brushed it off.
"If you say so." Marinette sighed. As much as she hated it, she still worried about Adrein and was still shaken by that drawing.
'Something has to be wrong. Isn't it?' She thought.
