Chapter 2
Marinette walks to school feeling nervous. She hated first days like what if no one liked her? What if people think she is weird? While walking to school she sees an old man walking across the road then she sees a speeding car coming their way. She runs onto the road and grabs the old man dragging him to the foot path. The old man smiles "thank you miss." Marinette smiles then hears the bell. Marinette waves goodbye then runs off.
She walks into the class room feeling shy. Mrs Bustier looks at the new girl and smiles softly. "Hello, I am Mrs Bustier you must be the new girl, Marinette right?" Marinette nods. "ok Marinette please take a seat next to Alya. Mrs Bustier points to Alya and Marinette goes over to sit down. Alya looks at Marinette and Alya smiles.
"I'm Alya" Marinette looks at the girl sitting next to her then pulls out her note book. She starts writing then hands the paper to Alya. Alya reads the note.
'hi I'm Marinette I'm sorry I can't talk I am mute.'
Alya smiles softly at Marinette "well it's nice to meet you Marinette." Marinette smiles and uses her hand to make a u then puts two fingers up, so she says, 'you too'. Marinette couldn't do sign language she's not very good at remembering that kind of stuff.
Two boys walk into the class room and sit down in front of them. "oh guys this is Marinette she is new, Marinette this is Adrien and Nino. Both guys say
"hey" Marinette smiles softly and waves. Alya looks at Marinette.
"can I tell them?" Marinette nods. "Marinette is mute" Both boys look at Marinette feeling bad for her.
"it must be hard not being able to talk" Adrien smiles softly wondering what it's like to not speak.
At lunch the four of them sit together. Chloe walks up to Marinette. "hey newbie I thought I recognized you" Chloe shows the news report about two slaughters and the 5 year old witnessing it in China. "you are that 5 year old" Marinette's eyes tear up and she runs off to the bathroom.
"Chloe that wasn't very nice." Alya runs after Marinette. Adrien looks at the footage on Chloe's phone.
"that is so horrible, poor Marinette." Chloe rolls her eyes.
"she's a weirdo, don't feel bad for her." Chloe walks off.
Marinette was at the sinks in the bathroom crying looking in the mirror. Alya walks over to Marinette. "hey girl are you ok?" Marinette looks at Alya still crying then Alya gives Marinette a hug. "I can't imagine how you feel, no child should witness something horrible like that." Marinette wanted to say something, but she didn't have her book. Marinette uses her hands to pretend she is writing trying to say to Alya that she needs paper and pen. "oh I can get you your book, stay here."
Alya runs off and grabs Marinette's book then comes back. Marinette grabs it and starts to write then she gives it to Alya. Alya reads it.
'I was so frozen it was terrifying, there was blood everywhere I don't know why but since that day I never spoke again apparently it is because it was very traumatic. I have nightmares about that day It feels nice talking about it to someone you are an amazing friend Alya'
Alya smiles and hugs Marinette. "girl I'm always here for you" Marinette smiles softly she was glad she had a friend like Alya even though they just met.
After school. Marinette walks home. She goes to her room and finds an octagon shaped box on her desk. She walks over and opens the box. A flash of red light appears. Marinette closes her eyes then reopens them when the light disappears. She sees this red and black bug and she freaks out and throws things at the bug.
"calm down Marinette I won't hurt you." The bug thing flies over to her. "I'm Tikki and I'm a kwami" Tikki explains everything. Marinette nods and puts on the earrings. "say spots on to transform" Marinette looks at Tikki then Marinette puts her hand on her own throat. "oh you are mute that is fine" Tikki goes into the earrings. Marinette transforms into Ladybug. She looks in the mirror looking at herself. She goes onto her balcony and swings around her yo-yo then it grips to a building. It throws her far and Ladybug lands on a building she then sees a black cat near by and walks over to him. Chat Noir sees her, and he smiles
"hey you must be my partner I'm Chat Noir and you?" Ladybug looks down feeling nervous. "shy hmm that's ok I can guess hmm bug lady?" She shakes her head. "super bug?" She shakes her head "wonder bug?" She smiles and shakes her head. "Ladybug?" She nods. "so you are Ladybug well it's nice to meet you." They hear a bang near by and they both head to the sound.
Chat Noir goes straight in to fight. Ladybug watches from the distance feeling nervous but then fights the nerves and goes to help.
After the fight. "you're really good at this" Chat Noir smiles. Ladybug smiles back. "you know I haven't heard you say anything would be nice to know what my lovely lady sounds like." He smirk She rolls her eyes then leaves. Chat Noir watches her leave and smiles. "whoever that girl is, I love that girl." She arrives home and detransforms.
"you did so well Marinette" Tikki smiles. Marinette smiles. She had so much fun.
