It was only a few days into the new school year when Nino decided to bring the picture. The picture that Marinette along with the other students in the picture hated. Except Kim of course, who says he remembered it as one of the best school days of his life. Chloe, and a few others considered it the exact opposite, a 'fashion disaster' per say. Marinette hated the picture because it just-so-happened to be the class picture from about four years ago, featuring the students completely covered in mud from head to toe, from a mud fight Kim himself started. The day had ended in detention for the entire class, but according to some (like Kim) it was worth it. And Marinette couldn't really deny that.
Alya couldn't believe what she was hearing. "Wait, so Marinette actually participated in a mud fight, and got detention because of it! That's pretty hard to believe knowing Mari." Nino scoffed. "Please. I was there guys. Marinette practically initiated the fight along side Kim and -" Nino was cut short by Adrien, who shook his head. "I believe you may be exasperating a bit Nino...am I right Marinette?" Adrien turned to look at the bluenette but to his surprise she just continued to sketch in her design book, blushing furiously. Alya and Adrien just stared in disbelief.
Nino started laughing loudly, causing Alya to glare at him. "Oh just shut up Nino, hand me the picture!" Nino handed the picture over to Alya, still laughing at Adrien's expression. He called out to Kim. "Tell them Kim, Marinette here used to be quite the rebel!"
Marinette just blushed harder, trying not to remeber her earlier school days, where she could have been considered a troublemaker. She wouldn't deny it, she had been rebelious at one point, not that it was all her fault, somewhat.
Kim joined Nino, laughing at the question. He nodded. "I remember! Especially that time you pulled the fire alarm so we wouldn't have to take the science test! That was the best!" Adrien looked up at Marinette who continued to glare at Kim. So they weren't lying after all. It was hard to see Marinette doing that kind of thing, even if it wasn't that bad.
"It's bad luck to bring up the past Kim." Marinette called out, causing the tall brunette to just roll his eyes, his smirk getting wider. "The past? Wasn't to long ago as I remember that you were gluing Ms. Bustier to her chair. The only reason you turned into a goody-two shoes is because Hayden left."
The students who were listening in on the conversation suddenly ceased talking, the class deadly quiet. Adrien peered over at Alya, who was just as confused as he was, but Alya kept glancing down at the photo in her hand. Adrien saw Nino take a step away from Marinette, who was now standing up from her seat. Adrien heard the pencil in her hand snap.
Before she could walk any closer, Kim sighed. "I'm sorry Marinette. I didn't mean to bring it up like that." Marinette just nodded, taking a seat back in her chair as Ms. Bustier walked in. And for the rest of the day, it seemed no one dared to say a thing as the tension still hung in the air. After school Adrien was surprised when Nino rushed home, something about being tired. Walking down the steps of the school, Adrien watched as Marinette rushed home, Alya calling after her. Alya stopped at the road, staring after her friend. Adrien walked to stand beside her.
"What do you think's going on?" he asked quietly, watching as Marinette fled from sight. Alya just shook her head. "No clue." She then pulled the photo Nino had previously given her, showing Adrien. "But I'm pretty sure it has something to do with him." Adrien looked closer at the boy Alya was pointing out, the only person he hadn't recognized. The brunette student stood in the middle picture, seemingly laughing along with the girl beside him. It was Marinette.
"And I intend to find out."
