Marinette was having a mental breakdown as she climbed up the stairs to her classroom. Adrien knew...shit, ADRIEN KNEW SHE HAD A CRUSH ON HIM.

Wait. There was something else she should be worried…

ADRIEN WAS CHAT.

Marinette tripped on the stairs, and her backpack went flying.

ADRIEN. AGRESTE. WAS. CHAT. NOIR.

All of a sudden, a lot of things made sense.

"Sleeping, Dupain-Cheng?"

Marinette groaned as she looked up at Chloe Bourgeois and Sabrina. Chloe wore her usual gloating smirk, and Sabrina giggled as she looked down at Marinette.

The girl being questioned jumped up, grabbing her backpack in one swift movement.

"Shut up Chloe." Marinette said mildly as she moved up the stairs. She was too deep in shock to come up with a comeback.

Chloe narrowed her eyes. Dupain-Cheng was never this pathetic. Something was up.

And she, Chloe Bourgeois, was going to figure it out.

Marinette sat nubly in her seat. She could sense Alya waving a hand in front of her face, asking if she was okay. But right now, Marinette was deep in shock. She had reached the critical stage.

" !" Alya yelled as the teacher walked into the room.

"Yes Alya?"

"Marinette's broken!"

"Broken?"

The teacher tapped Marinette on the shoulder, calling her name. No reaction. Marinette didn't even blink.

At that moment, Adrien walked into the room with a cheshire grin. He sat next to Nino, who turned with a confused expression.

"Why do you look so happy, dude?"

Adrien just shook his head. He turned around and saw Marinette in the middle of some drama.

At this point, Alix, Alya, , and countless others surrounded Marinette. The girl eyes were foggy, and her mouth was opened slightly.

"What's up with Marinette?" Adrien asked Nino, who shrugged.

"She's broken, dude. She walked in like that. Sat down, and won't react to anything."

Adrien pondered what to do.

Finally, an idea came to him. He stood up, and walked toward Marinette. The crowd created a pathway for him, and he leaned toward Marinette.

"Time to wake up, Princess." He whispered. "I'll give you a kiss-"

Marinette smacked him. Hard.
Everyone in the class gasped. What would Adrien do? He was usually pretty nice, but he had probably never been slapped before…

Adrien laughed.

Everyone blinked. He was...laughing? Seriously?

Marinette also blinked, and emerged from her coma of shock.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Adrien!" Marinette gushed. "It's just that...what you said, I was just so shocked, and-"

"It's alright Marinette." Adrien interrupted with a smile. "Don't worry about it. I saw it coming."

And, the the shock of everyone, Adrien pecked her on the cheek.

Marinette immediately blushed red, and everyone else simply let their jaws drop. What had happened…?

"Back to your seats, all of you!" clapped, sending everyone scurrying back to their seats.

Outside, may have seemed calm. But inside, she was ecstatic.

Ever since the first day of school, had been hoping for Adrien and Marinette to get together. Unknown to the students, she had known about Marinette's crush. Now, as a teacher, she was obligated to do what was best for her students, meaning that she had been forced to allow Lila to sit next to Adrien when had come back to school.

But it didn't restrict her from secretly shipping!

And her ship was sailing!

As class began, Alya raised an eyebrow at Marinette, thinking similar thoughts. What is going on? The girl thought. Did Chat Noir actually send that note, and Adrien accepted her? She sent looks at Marinette, trying to get the girls attention.

Marinette was intent on ignoring Alya. She knew the questions that were going to come out of that girls mouth, and she didn't want to hear it.

Alya frowned, realizing Marinette wasn't going to answer.

Well, it doesn't matter. Alya thought. I'll question her after class.

TIME CHANGE

As class ended, dread filled Marinette. Alya was giving her that look. The look Marinette called the "journalist look".The, I'm going to interrogate you, then kill you. look.

As Marinette gathered her things to leave, Alya began.

"Sooooo...Marinette...your house? Me, you, Alix, Juleka, Rose, and ?"

"Maybe another time?" Marinette asked weakly.

But then Alya gave her that look, and Marinette knew that Alya wasn't asking a question at all. It was a demand.

One that was going to kill her.

Ug.

She was going to murder that stupid cat.
