Chapter 2: Mysterious Happenings

That's the boy who helped me before!

Marinette's mouth open agape as the blonde haired guy stared back at her.

"We meet again." He said.

Wow nice smile, good looks, and super attractive. I think he's a keeper. Marinette thought.

"You live next door? That's great!" Marinette exclaimed.

"Looks like it. I'm Adrien Agreste, just moved here today." He told her. "What a lovely view!"

"I know right? The seventh floor has the best view in this apartment complex."

"I didn't mean the scenery." he smiled, pointing at her.

Marinette gave him a quizzical look before she realized where he was looking at. She glared at him and covered her skirt.

"YOU PERVERT!" She screeched as she ran back in her apartment and slammed the sliding glass door. Tikki gave her a confused look.

"Are you okay Mari?" She asked.

Marinette gave her a shocked face as a red blush graced her cheeks. How embarrassing! This couldn't be worse. Oh my gosh why?

The next day, a frustrated Marinette walked into her class. Her angry face was gone as she saw Alya writing at her desk.

"What's going on Alya, you look like you found some big news report?" Marinette joked.

"More like something! This new hero showed up the other day and is making quite the scoop!" She cooed.

"Your so uncomplicated, but that's just typical you Alya." Marinette sighed.

"So Mari, I saw you staring at the new boy yesterday!" She shouted.

"W-W-What do you mean?" She stammered, a blush coming on her face again.

"Don't lie to me Marinette, I know you've got a thing for him too."

"No I think I'll pass. I can't love a guy of his type." Marinette cringed as she remembered what he'd done to her the other day.

"Oh so you don't like him huh? That makes him mine for the taking!" Ayla joked, smirking.

"Go right ahead." Marinette gave her a thumbs up before Miss Bustier walked in. Her red hair was a mess and her suit was ripped and torn in many places.

"Alright quiet down class and find your seats!" She yelled.

"I wonder why Madame Bustier is so cranky this morning." Ayla whispered to Marinette.

"She's been like that since yesterday." Marinette whispered back.

Coming right behind her, a student with short blonde hair wearing the grey uniform and holding his schoolbag walked in. Marinette groaned as Ayla nudged her best friend.

"Nice to meet you all. I'm the new transfer student Adrien Agreste." He said.

Then he plopped himself to the desk next to Marinette, who was trying her hardest not to look at him. Of all the slugbags that had to sit next to me, it had to be him!

"Hey you're the girl from yesterday! What a coincidence you and I being in the same class." Adrien laughed.

"The name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng and please don't bother me." She said, huffily.

"Are you living alone?"

"Y-yes my parents are abroad."

"Well Mari-"

"It's Marinette!"

"Well Marinette would you like to date me?"

"Yes." She blushed and clamped her mouth shut. Students swiveled their heads around and gave her surprised looks. "I mean, you idiot!" She would've kicked him if Ayla hadn't intervened.

"Good Afternoon, I'm Alya Cesaire." She told Adrien as she covered an irritated Marinette's mouth.

"Oh you're the girl that was with her." Adrien commented.

"Can I call you Adrien or do you prefer Mr. Agreste?" Ayla asked sweetly as she prevented Marinette from saying a few choice words.

"Just call me Adrien. I'll do the same with you."

Marinette finally wretched herself from Ayla's grip and glared angrily at her. "What are you doing Alya?" She yelled.

"You said you'd pass. You can't cheat on me now." She put firmly. She turned back to Adrien. "Other than that Adrien, what made you decide on Marinette?"

Yeah why me?! When I met him the first time, Ayla was with me too. Wait a minute it couldn't be for the fact that…! Marinette thought, frantically. She watched as Adrien was then surrounded by the whole class who wanted to hear as well.

"Actually…" He started to say.

"DON'T SAY IT!" Suddenly, Adrien's mouth was sealed with ladybug shaped sticky notes, courteously of Marinette. A loud, shrill whistle made the whole class flinch as Miss Bustier blew her whistle.

"You guys…I've been waiting for you all to shut your mouths. Do you realize how long you've been disturbing the home room hour?" She had that dark aura around her that made the class tremble.

"Oh it's time for first period." Marinette said as the bell rung signalling the transition.

"Hurry up Madame." Ayla called to her.

"Dupain-Cheng! You're the only one that hasn't turned in your homework from last week!" Miss Bustier called angrily.

Marinette squealed as Miss Bustier gave her the menacing stare. "Um…well there's a logical reason for that."

"You still haven't turned it in. So I'll have to dock off points from your grade." Miss Busiter put away her stuff in her purse and walked out the door.

"Wait-!" Marinette froze when she felt a hand grab her arm. She glanced down to see Adrien give her a serious look. Then he smiled.

"Remember my feelings for you kay?" He said.

Marinette glared at him and slapped his hand away. "That's evil! You're not serious!" She shouted at him walking out to the deserted hallway.

Ayla rolled her eyes. Sometimes Marinette could be so heartless! How dare she slap a cute boy's hand!

"So Adrien have you heard of Phantom Thief Ladybug? I'm a reporter working to expose her!" Ayla told him.

"Oh yeah she's appeared in my town too." Adrien answered.

Meanwhile, Marinette stalked angrily down the hallways. She was currently deep in thought too. That Agreste boy! I didn't think he'd be that girl crazy! She paused and looked down blushing. But I was sort of fascinated by him. Nope, don't believe a word he says.

She found herself outside. And found Miss Bustier walking outside at the school gardens. Marinette watched in horror as she stepped on flowers and they started to wilt.

Wait a minute? Madame Bustier always compares us to flowers and she loves flowers too. So why would she be trampling them?

Marinette felt a pulse go off at her earrings. She pulled them off her ears and saw the black dots glow. Those earrings that Tikki gave me are reacting. No way, it can't be! A akuma?!

Now that she noticed it, Madame Bustier's dark glare had gotten extra dark lately.

"Hey Madame!" Marinette yelled, catching her off guard.

"What is it Dupain-Cheng?" Miss Bustier asked, giving her an innocent look.

"I've got a question. Have you bought any paintings lately?" Marinette questioned.

"Yes I did. Such a lovely drawing." Miss Bustier said, dreamily. She walked off as Marinette grinned.

Oh yes! I've found it, the akuma I've been looking for.

"Let the games begin!" Marinette exclaimed, putting her earrings back on.

To Madame Bustier,

Tonight I'll have the beauty of your drawing.

Phantom Thief Ladybug
