Marinette sat on her bed for which felt like days. She couldn't think, she couldn't move. She didn't want to move. The thought of seeing Chat Noir again gave her butterflies. After all this time could she be in love with Chat? 'No this isn't right.' She kept repeating to herself. Her alarm went off. She hadn't slept a wink that night, the thought of going to school was overwhelming. She got up and got ready. Today she was actually on time, on her way to school and in the halls she didn't say a word and she didn't look up once. A few minutes before the bell rang Marinette walked in and sat down, still not breaking her eye contact with the floor.
"Actually on time today I see." Alya joked. Marinette too deep in thought to pay any attention to anyone did not hear Alya. "Marinette?" Alya gave her a slight shove.
As the bell rang Marinette looked at Alya with confusion "Did you say something?" Alya rolled her eyes
"Forget it" Marinette zoned out most of the class. She didn't think about Adrian once, until she heard Chloe asking about where he is. She looked at the seat in front of her and saw that no one was there. 'Where is he?' she thought.
Meanwhile a few blocks away from the school Adrian laid on his bed pretending to be sick too broken get up. "I am such an idiot of course she likes someone else. What was I thinking?" Adrian painfully asked plagg. Plagg shook his head.
"I don't know man, maybe you should talk to her as Adrian?" Adrian shook his head. If he knew anything it was that the person Marinette was not him. He rolled over so his back to plagg, "Look man maybe just talk to her. She's at school right now. Get up and go tell Natalie that you're feeling better and go talk to her." He thought about it. Plagg's pep talk didn't really do anything to help encourage him but Adrian felt like he needed to leave his room. He did just what plagg said and when he got to school he saw Marinette and walked up to her. He didn't know what he was going to say but he kept walking.
Marinette's head was down still thinking about last night. "Hi Marinette." She didn't hear him and kept walking, totally ignoring him. If you were standing right by him you could almost hear his heart break. Suddenly everyone's head turn towards the Eiffel tower when a scream echoed out through Paris.
When Marinette heard the scream she didn't even flinch, she transformed and headed to the Eiffel tower. In minutes she was there to find Chat already there tied up to the tower. She rolled her eyes and defeated the Akuma in a few minutes, she was able to clear her mind for that long. Her hands started to shake as her untied Chat Noir. He looked at her in confusion for a half second and ignored it.
"Good job M'lady" he smiled
"T-thanks Chat." She looked over pairs from the balcony of the Eiffel tower.
"What's wrong? You just defeated the Akuma by yourself! I could never do that." He smiled even wider.
"It's been a confusing day, I found out that one of my best friends likes me and now I cant decide who to like because I already have a crush on this one guy… I'm sorry you don't want to hear about this." she start to walk away but Chat grabbed her arm turned her towards him.
"M'lady you can talk to me about anything. Who is this guy that you have a crush one?"
She shook her head "I appreciate the concern but that might give you the idea of who I am." He looked at her with sad eyes, more like begging eyes. "Fine. His name is Adrian, he's a model."
Chat was speechless but his heart skipped a beat.
