Marinette groaned as she tried her best to block out the annoying ringing from her alarm clock. She and Tikki had been up all night practicing different types of scenarios. Marinette also tried to
Improve her clumsiness by laying different items on the floor and trying not to trip or get tangled up in them. After a few tries, Tikki had told her to try and use ladybugs agility. That made things much easier. Nonetheless, it took all night until she got it right.
"Come on Marinette, you don't want to be late on the first day with your new attitude do you?" Tikki pressured.
Marinette sighed into her pillow and reluctantly looked up towards the floating red Kwami.
"No...Your right." Marinette answered.
Groaning, she reluctantly stood up and stretched. She looked around the room, confusion etched on her features. Something felt off. That's when it clicked. She threw away the pictures of Adrien. Marinette let out a small sad sigh before entering her bathroom. Was she nervous? Of course she was. Marinette had no idea how this was going to play out. Luckily she had already texted Alya about her plan so she wasn't alone. Marinette grabbed her purse and opened it so Tikki could fly inside. Tikki flew in and Marinette scurried downstairs. After greeting her mother, she ate a light breakfast and snuck a few cookies into her purse for Tikki to eat. Marinette waved goodbye to her father and made the short walk to school, confident that today would be a good day. Once her eyes landed on the school a wave of fear passed over her. She ignored it after seeing Alya at the front of the school.
"Hey girl! You ready face the world with a new attitude?" Alya asked smiling.
Marinette returned her smile, but it quickly faded as doubt etched her features.
"Honestly, I'm kind of nervous." Marinette answered.
Alya grabbed hold of her friend's shoulders and looked her straight in the eye.
"Marinette you have nothing to be nervous about. All you have to do
Is ignore you-know-who and all will be well in the world. Just listen to your head for a while." Alya answered.
Marinette smiled. Leave it to Alya to give you a good pep talk.
"Thanks Alya, and your right. I just have to be myself." Marinette answered.
The first bell rang signaling that school was about to start. Alya grabbed Marinette and pulled her towards the classroom. Alya retracted her hand as she made her way towards her seat. Marinette took a moment to look around. Chloe and Sabrina were already in their seats whispering about something that was probably about her. Alix and Kim were already fighting meanwhile Max was trying to avoid conflict between the two. Nathanaël was scribbling in his notebook. Ivan and Mylene had just entered the classroom, already making their way towards their seats. Finally Rose and Juleka were having a conversation. The rest had not arrived yet. That included Nino and Adrien. The last bell rang signaling the beginning of class. Marinette made her way over to her desk. Unaware of the smirk that Chloe had on her face. Adrien and Nino had just walked in. Marinette had not even noticed them yet. She looked at Alya and smiled. Suddenly Chloe stuck out her leg, making Marinette's foot snag on hers until she tripped. Marinette's eyes widened as everything seemed to slow down as she slowly fell. Chloe had already started laughing, as if knowing the outcome of the situation. Adrien, Alya, and Nino stared in disbelief. All eyes, even Chloe's eyes, were on the blue haired girl as she slowly fell.
"Not today..." Marinette thought. She would not let Chloe ruin this day. The day she wouldn't be pushed around. The day she wouldn't trip over air. The day...she found her confidence.
Marinette stuck out her arms and used the momentum from her fall to push her legs in the air. She did a handstand for a nanosecond and then used her hands to push herself of the ground and land gracefully on the step. Dead silence filled the air as they all stared at the supposedly small fragile girl in front of them. Silly, clumsy, blushing, Marinette had just done a front flip infront of everyone.
And landed gracefully on the stairs...
Marinette turned around, her eyes narrowed at the blonde haired brat Before her. Without a word she made her way towards her seat and sat down. All eyes were on her but she didn't care. Marinette pulled out her sketch book and continued experimenting different logos for the bakery. The teacher entered and ushered everyone to their seats. People continued staring but she didn't care. Marinette made a point today.
And it felt good...
Adrien was shocked to say the least. The small fragile and clumsy girl he had grown so accustomed to be around. Had just done a full front flip and landed in the step of a staircase. Well the steps were wide but that wasn't the point.
Maybe there was more to her than he thought?
Maybe she had secrets too?
Whatever the reason, Adrien promised himself he would make an effort to get to know her better.
But he had one question...
Why did that move seem so familiar...?
