Hi guys!
So this is my second Miraculous fanfic and I'm so excited to share it with you all! I have been working on this for a little while now. So I hope you all enjoy it!
Okay so now on with the story! ^-^
I do not own Miraculous or Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.
Marinette sat in her literature class listening to Ms Bustier go over the Shakespeare's famous love story Romeo and Juliet. At the beginning of the session, Ms Bustier said that she had a surprise for the whole class at the end of what seemed to be a lecture about the whole play.
Marinette found herself dozing off every now and then, she hardly slept a wink of sleep last night. Her and Chat Noir found themselves dealing with another one of Hawkmoth's akumas named Nightmare, who tricked people while they were sleeping into having bad dreams. By the time Chat and herself defeated Nightmare, and Marinette managed to get home and begin to doze off, her alarm on her phone started to ring, signalling that she had to get up to start the day.
"... Marinette. Marinette, are you listening to me?" Ms Bustier said from beside her, snapping her awake again for the second time that class.
"Ah.. sorry!" she replied looking down into her lap. She could feel the heat rising to her face and her class mates laughed around her.
'How embarrassing!' she thought, surprised that Chloe hadn't said anything about what had happened.
"What's wrong Marinette? Did mummy and daddy wake you up too early?" the words flowed out of Chloe's mouth through snorts as she tired to contain her laughter while she spoke.
'I guess I thought too soon.' She thought death staring the back of the blonde's head.
"That's enough Chloe, please class settle down," Ms Bustier said now back at the front of the class. All the students laughter slowly faded as their full attention was now on the front of the classroom. "Thank you, now do you all remember that I said that I had a surprise for you at the end of the class?" All the students nodded their heads, turning to the classmate beside them and started to whisper, curious of the surprise their tea her had for them. "As you all know due to today's class that we are studying Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. After talking to the assistant educator and Mr Damocles, it has been allowed that we are able to recreate the play Romeo and Juliet and perform it for everyone to see." Shocked faces were plastered on all the faces of the students. Silence filled the room as each student came to terms with the news that was just presented to them. Soon once more, the room was filled with chatter and excitement for the project ahead.
"Ms Bustier, why are we doing this?" Alya spoke from beside her.
"That is a very good question, Alya." Ms Bustier replied. "Class please settle down, Alya has asked a very good question." The class immediately became dead silent again. "Thank you. Alya asked why are we performing the play. Performing allows you to be in the play, which will hopefully allow you all to understand the depth of the characters and the scenes within it. Yes, you all can't be Romeo or Juliet, but sometimes something is easier to understand when it is right in front of you instead of being on a paper or on a tablet. Does that answer your question Alya?"
"Yes, thank you Ms Bustier." The girl next to her replied before turning to her friend and winking at her. Marionette had no idea what she was thinking but she knew just from that wink that Alya had something planned.
"Now is there any other questions?" Ms Bustier asked. Everyone shook their heads. "Good, auditions will be tomorrow afternoon during our class, so please read the lines that you are going to perform from your text book before coming in, if you would like to audition for a speaking role. Don't worry there will be other parts that don't involve speaking as well as backstage jobs that will need to be done on the night, and I think that's all the information you need right now." Ms Bustier finished and smiled as all the students turned to the people beside them and started chatting again. She could understand why they were so excited, Collège Françoise Dupont had never done something like this before for a literature class. She worked hard to try and get this play up and running. So she was just as excited, if not more than the students of her class.
"So Marinette, are you going to try out for the role of Juliet?" Alya asked her best friend.
"Ah.. M-me? Oh no, I'm too much of a klutz to be Juliet. I would probably trip over on the stage, knock something over and ruin the whole night." The dark blue haired girl replied laughing nervously, scratching the back of her head with her right hand. "I'm more than happy just doing costume design."
"You know, I bet a certain someone will be trying out for the role of Romeo." Alya whispered in her ear, motioning her head to the blonde haired boy who sat in from of them. Marinette felt heat rise to her cheeks again. She knew automatically that Adrien would make the perfect Romeo. Thinking about him in the role only made her cheeks grow more and more red.
"Just think about it." Alya said, winking at her again. "It won't do you any harm trying out for the role anyway."
Marinette knew that Alya was right. It would hurt her trying out for the role of Juliet. Who knows she might even get the role of another female character, not that there are many and be able to do costume designing.
'Okay. I will try out for Juliet. Who knows what could happen.' She thought smiling to herself as she heard the bell ring. Finally she could go home and relax, maybe even Tiki could help her out with her lines before she finally get some sleep.
Marinette noticed that Alya had already packed up her things and was ready to go.
"You head off," Marinette spoke with a smile. "I will be out in a minute." Her friend nodded with a smile before heading out the do with Nino and Adrien. She couldn't stop thinking about what would happen if her and Adrien got the roles of Romeo and Juliet, but she knew that she shouldn't be getting too ahead of herself. She didn't even know if Adrien was trying out for a part.
As soon as Marinette finished packing up her things, she skipped down the stairs and was about to head out the door until she felt a force push her down onto the ground. As knew automatically who it was as soon as she lifted her head.
"The is only one person that can be Juliet, and that me." The voice of a certain blonde haired girl spoke from above before huffing out of the classroom followed quickly after by her orange haired friend.
Marionette slowly got to her feet, as Tiki flew from her purse.
"Don't let her push you down." The little red kwami said.
"Trust me, I won't." She replied, picking up the Romeo and Juliet textbook which had fallen out of her bag when Chloe pushed her. Tiki flew back into Marinette's purse as she left the classroom, hoping to catch up with Alya, Nino and her crush.
Woohoo! First chapter completed!
I hope you guys all enjoyed this chapter (I know its a little short and I'm sorry about that!) I had so much fun writing it. Literally I have heaps of tabs open on my laptop and a couple of books around me just on Romeo and Juliet, I need to remember how to spell some of the characters names haha. I have no clue how I passed year 10 English haha XD
Anyway, hopefully I will be updating this story every week but it really depends on work and my studies.
And don't worry there will be some words spoken from Adrien in the next chapter haha.
Please review, I love hearing feedback about my writing, and they also give me courage to keep on writing!
I will see you all in the next chapter! Bye guys! ^-^
