Marinette's POV:
"Marinette wake up!" I hear as I see Tikki's blurry face. "Huh, what?" I say groggily. "You heard me, now get up and get ready for school! You're going to be late!" she said. "Ugh, fine I'm going," I groaned. After a late night of patrolling Paris I had no desire to get up. Patrol was pretty uneventful, but I was stupid enough to agree to race Chat Noir across Paris. I won, of course, but I'm still exhausted. Lately we've been having a lot of homework, and I'm trying to finish my collection of designs.
I sigh as I grudgingly stand up and make my bed. I glance over at the clock and nearly trip over my blanket. It's 7:30! School starts in 30 minutes, not to mention that it takes me 10 minutes to walk over there! I rush to brush my teeth and comb my hair and throw on my usual outfit. I run downstairs and grab a croissant that's waiting for me. "Love you Maman! Love you Papa!" I yell as I hurry out the door. I check my phone to see what time it is. It's 7:55, so if I run instead of walk I shouldbe able to make it in time. All of my saving Paris must have paid off, becuase I'm a much faster runner and have more stamina. I sprint up the stairs of the school and push the classroom door open.
"Well well well, if it isn't Marinette. Decided to show up to class after all huh?" Chloe says smugly. I just roll my eyes and take my seat next to Alya. "What did I miss?" I ask Alya. "Nothing much, except the fact that Chloe's babysitting some poor child." Alya informs me. Wow, I'd hate to be that kid, I think to myself. "Marinette, eyes up front" Mrs. Bustier says crossly. "Yes Mrs. Bustier" I reply. I've already gotten several warnings from teachers for dozing off in class and being late, so I don't want to add not paying attention to the list.
The rest of the school day is unexciting, and as I leave school with Alya I see someone drop off a little girl with Chloe. That must be who she's babysitting, I think. "Be good, Annabelle" the girl's mother tells her. "Yes mommy!" she giggled. After the mother left, I saw Chloe roll her eyes. "So your Chloe right? I'm Annabelle!" the girl grinned. "Yea I'm Chloe, and I'm babysitting you since my father, the mayor, thinks it's good for publicity." Annabelle frowned slightly. "Oh, I thought we could be friends. I made you some candies if you want them!" she smiled as she pulled out a bag of pink candies from her bag. "Ew, those look digusting! I don't want one of your gross garbage candies" Chloe sniffed. I frowned. The little girl obviously wanted Chloe to be happy and Chloe was being nothing but rude back. "Oh, that's fine." Annabelle sniffled and a tear ran down her cheek. "You don't have to look after me, I'll just go" she said sadly and ran away.
AN: Thanks for reading! Chapter 2 will be up soon hopefully!
