Dear Diary, Guess What! Today, the entire class are going to visit the Tuileries Garden! It was quite a surprise but still an awesome way to end the year! I just hope maybe I'll sit next to Adrien Oh, I gotta run! Bye!
Marinette placed down her pen and placed her diary into one of her drawers. The girl then grabbed her backpack and raced down the stairs so she wouldn't be late… again.
As the girl raced down the stairs, her mother, Sabine, was going up the stairs carrying a basket of clothing. Neither one had seen the other going in the opposite direction, causing them to collide and the clothes to scatter across the floor and steps.
"Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!" The girl stammered as she began frantically picking up the scattered clothes.
"It's okay, dear," Sabine smiled as she bent down to help pick up the rest. As Marinette began folding a shirt, her mother gently took it from her hands.
"I'll take care of it, dear. You hurry along to school,"
Marinette smiled before throwing her arms around her mother and planting a gentle kiss on her cheek, "Bye Mom!"
Grabbing her bag, Marinette continued running down the stairs as her mother watcher her with a smile.
As she entered the bakery, Marinette's father, Tom, was pulling a tray of hot and fresh croissants out of the oven.
Once again, neither the adult or teen had seen each other until too late.
As Marinette tried to regain her balance, Tom managed to catch the tray and the croissants with his foot before it fell to the ground.
The father and daughter stared at each other for a moment before sharing a quick laugh.
"One for the road, dear?" Tom asked as he held out the tray.
"Oh, yes please!" Marinette smiled as she plucked two fresh croissants from the tray, "And one for Alya,"
"Of course, these delicious pantries have to be shared,"
Marinette stood on her tiptoes and planted a kiss on her father's cheek before racing out of the front door, across the street, and towards Françoise Dupont High School.
In front of the school, the stairs were filled with students and packed bags as they all waited for the bus to arrive.
Alya smiled and shook her head as Marinette almost tripped(again)before racing up the steps to sit next to her with a sheepish smile.
"You're cutting it real close this time, girl,"
Marinette giggled nervously before the sound of their teacher's voice.
"Roll call, everyone! Quiet please," A hush fell over the steps as "Once you hear your name, please stand up and step onto the sidewalk,"
"Nathaniel Bustier,"
The red-haired artist stood up timidly with a notebook held tightly against his chest, "I'm here, Mom- I mean Ma'am!"
Ignoring the stares, Nathaniel stepped down from the stairs and stood on the sidewalk. Miss Bustier smiled at him before turning back to her clipboard.
"Adrien Agreste,"
The class looked around among the crowd but the boy was nowhere in sight.
"His father must have said no to the trip," Alya whispered to the disappointed Marinette.
Everyone in the class knew how incredibly overprotective Gabriel Agreste was over his son.
The teacher sighed and began to cross the boy's name off the list to mark him unattended.
"HERE! IM HERE!"
Everyone's head turned to see the blonde boy running down the sidewalk with a bag held tightly in his hand.
A bright and bubbly smile grew on Marinette's face as blue eyes spotted the boy stopping in front of the school.
"Wonderful! Wonderful," Miss Bustier smiled as marked the boy as attending.
"Dude, I thought your Dad wasn't going to let you go on this trip," Nino whispered to his friend after he was called to the sidewalk.
"He didn't," Adrien said with a mischievous smile, "So I asked my Mom,"
Adrien's mother was an actress before she gave it up for her child. Emilie always assisted whenever her husband, Gabriel was being too overbearing or overprotective. It was one thing Adrien found fascinating about his mother, she wasn't afraid to stand for what she believed in.
It wasn't long until all the students were standing on the sidewalk and a minute after when a bus pulled in front of the school.
The door was opened and a man with graying hair and a red Hawaiian shirt stepped out of the bus, "Hello children," the man said, "My name is Wang Fu, I'll be seeing that you all make it on your trip safely,".
"Thank you, Mr. Fu," Miss Bustier smiled before the man stepped back onto the bus.
"We'll be sitting in seats of two," the teacher addressed towards the class, "I've assigned all your seats if you have any trouble with the person you're sitting next to, please tell me,"
Chloe smiled to herself, so sure that she was going to be placed next to her Adrikins.
"Kim and Max. Rose and Juleka. Ivan and Mylène,"
At first, no one had any problem with the seating charts. Until Miss Bustier got to the final three pairs.
"Alya and Nino. Chloé and Sabrina, and finally, Adrien and Marinette,"
Both Chloé's and Marinette's jaws dropped when they heard the last pair.
Adrien and Marinette?
Beating red, Chloe marched up to the teacher and demanded they swapped seats.
Marinette's brain had completely shut down.
Sitting next to Adrien! She wanted to! But she couldn't! She'd make a complete fool of herself! No, she can't do this…. Yes, she can do this! NO! YES? NO? YES!
"So, looks like it's going to be you and me on a long trip through Paris!" Adrien said with a smile, shattering Marinette from her thoughts, "Pretty cool, right?"
"Yeah, so cute- I mean beautiful- I mean cool- I mean… croissant?" Blushing madly, Marinette offered Adrien her croissant from this morning.
Adrien stared confused before gladly taking the treat. Marinette looked up with a smile as the boy of her dreams happily took a bite from the croissant.
Miss Bustier smiled as she watched the scene, "I'm sorry Chloé but I don't see any probable cause on how my decision could have any negative effects on the trip,"
"But-"
"Come on, now children!" The teacher interrupted, "Onto the bus please,"
"Ridiculous!" Chloe shrieked, stomping onto the bus, "Utterly Ridiculous!" Sabrina chased after her.
"Well, let's get going," Adrien smiled, "Something tells me this is going to be one field trip worth remembering,"
If only he knew how right he was.
I'm sorry, this was terrible. I was falling asleep halfway, I'll try to re-edit one day.
I kept the Au where Nathaniel is Miss Bustiers son because I love it and the idea is adorable!
Also, November 20th 2015 is when Miraculous Ladybug first aired, that's why I did three years instead of five.
