Ladybug and Cat Noir Together: Chapter One

*BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ

The ringing of my alarm clock woke me. I sighed to myself. I was late again. I scooped up my things and ran out the door, with, unfortunately, no breakfast again. I skipped across the street and into the school yard, two seconds before the bell made its final ring. I crashed into my seat, next to Alya. "Marinette! The teacher is going to pitch a fit!"

"Sorry, Alya! I can't help it!" I replied, still dazed from not eating anything.

Class began and so far, it was just a normal day. No akumas. No cat puns. No flying over rooftops. It was just going to be a normal day. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"What is the square root of 163 multiplied by 45 divided by 7?" The whole class was silent, especially me. I was horrible at arithmetic.

"Hmph. No one wants to brave and answer? Well, then, I guess I'll just have to pick. Marinette! How about you? What is the answer to the square root of 163 multiplied by 45 divided by 7?"

"Umm. I'm sorry miss, but…." I stopped speaking. I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of the entire class, but most importantly, in front of my dear Adrien! So, I decided to give the problem my best shot. As I pulled out my pen and paper, a blast of light appeared in the window and a giant boom quaked throughout the entire city of Paris.

"Come on. I thought it was going to be a normal day," I thought to myself. But, at least it does, however, save me from embarrassment. School was dismissed for the students' safety and I zipped silently into the back of the school.
