She heard a voice. It was calling someone. It was panicked.
It was Adrien.
Who was Adrien?
"Marinette! Are you okay?!" He sounded unstable. She must be Marinette.
Marinette opened her eyes. The lights. They were so bright. And there was so much noise. She was on the ground. Why was she in the ground? Her head hurt. "Adrien? What happened?"
"You got hit in the head with a basketball and you blacked out Mari."
"Where am i?"
He sounded more worried. "We are at school. In the gym? Are you sure you're okay? We should get help." He was kinda cute, this Adrien boy.
"I'm fine." She sat up quickly. Too quickly. Her vision went fuzzy. "I'm not fine."
"Lets get you to the nurse's office."
Adrien lifted her up and helped her balance on his shoulder. She was practically hugging him. Her head did hurt a lot. And everything seemed fuzzy somehow.
They managed to get to the nurse's office. Adrien did a lot of the talking. He explained how she got hit in the head and passed out. Marinette didn't remember any of it, she just Sat next to him and nodded.
The nurse turned to her and she blanked. "Name and Age?"
"I'm 15, Marinette."
"Full name please?"
"Marinette... Mari... nette... " she closed her eyes. Marinette. It didn't sound right. Something was missing. She was more than marinette, but what was she. Who was she? "I'm sorry. I don't remember."
The Adrien boy gave her a funny look. "She's Marinette Dupain-Cheng." He turned towards her. "You remembered my name, but not your own?"
She shrugged.
"Okay."
The nurse write some things down. "Okay sweetie, can you repeat this string of numbers back to me? 8637"
Marinette sighed. She could recite numbers backwards easily. This wasn't a challenge at all. "7... 3... ummm. I think there was an 8?" She had totally blanked. Why couldn't she just number? Her head hurt.
"Do you feel any symptoms Marinette?" The Nurse's voice was gentle.
"My head hurts. And I feel confused." Marionette spoke honestly. "Everything is just fuzzy."
Adrien looked concerned. The nurse write down some more things and turned to him. "You can stay here with your girlfriend while I call her parents. She probably has a minor concussion."
Adrien jumped up. "I ummm... I mean we... together. We aren't" The nurse walked away from them.
Marinette looked up in awe. "Youre my boyfriend?"
"Mari, I should tell you..."
"Wow I really hit the jackpot."
"Mari? Are you okay."
"You're perfect. I'm better than okay."
"You usually can't even speak to me."
"You're so pretty it leaves me speechless"
He laughed a little. Was she flirting? With him? Marinette usually avoided Adrien.. "Of course I'm pretty, I'm a model."
"Wow, I'm dating a model?"
"We aren't. I mean. If you" he blushed and stammered.
"And you're so kind and gentle."
"Thanks." Adrien was still blushing. Did he usually blush this much? Was he okay?
She leaned forward, to kiss him.
"Mari?"
"Yeah?"
"What are you doing?" He sounded... amused.
"Kissing you."
Their lips touched. His were soft and warm.
