Chapter 2- Marinette's Secrets
Marinette's POV
"Marinette you're back!" Screamed a familiar voice from behind Me.
"Kevin?" I asked scared to turn around
"Yes it is me cousin Kevin now where is my hug?" Kevin replied walking up to me. I turned around to be facing my 18 year old cousin who I haven't seen in 10 years he looks different from when he was 8 he had short black hair which is now spikey and longer, he is now more tan then he was before probably a perk from living in L.A., he is now taller then me and he is more muscular
"Wow you look so different in a good way apart from the fact like everyone else your taller then me." I stated looking up at him.
"Your always going to be smaller then me M." He replied ruffling my hair then a smirk grew upon his face and he asked "So how was hanging out with your boyfriend?"
A blush grew on my face Adrien wasn't my boyfriend even thou I want him to be but a cool, hunky guy like Adrien wouldn't want to be little me. "A-Adrien isn't m-my b-boyfriend, we are in a dance group with my best friend Ayla and Adrien's best friend Nino." I explained but he saw right through me "You want him to be your boyfriend, don't you?" He asked all I could do was nod with a guilty expression on my face. Kevin just laughed and said "I figured it out since you have pictures of him plastered round your room."
"Yea I do love him he is just the best but some one like him would never love me." I explained looking sad
"Don't put yourself down M your amazing." He said giving me another hug
"Kids come down for dinner please." My mum yelled from downstairs. Kevin and I went downstairs to the dinner table hen my dad yelled "SURPRISE!" as he pointed towards Kevin
"Papa I know he was hiding in my room oh I forgot to ask why are you back here?" I asked Kevin
"Well my dance group Starlighters is preforming s the interval and opening act for your schools dance show." He explained then I remembered my teacher saying something about it.
"Cool so is all 10 of you here?" I asked with worry in my voice
"Sadly yes we are all here." Kevin spoke shaking his head in disappointment.
I started to feel nervous like my world was spinning. Suddenly everything went dark I could only hear the screams of my family. Next thing I know I wake up laying on my bed with an ice pack on my head.
"W-What happened to me?" I asked sitting up
"You passed out after I said we are all here." Kevin explained
"Great so Jason is here?" I asked
"Yep but he won't bother you like he used to when we were kids." Kevin explained hopefully
"Ok I'm very sleepy I'm gonna go to bed night." I said picking up my PJ's and going into the bathroom
"Goodnight M." Kevin said and with that left my room
*The Next Day*
*ring*
"Marinette Wake up." Kevin said
"I'm up ok." I said pushing him to the floor
"Why is your alarm set for so early?" He asked me
"Because I need to get ready and I need to pack my dance bag I have practise at my old dance studio today I booked it on the way home from Adrien's last night." I explained going into my wardrobe taking out a pink bag with red hearts spelling out my name. I took out a red and black polka dot crop top and the same but in black and green sorts and put them in my bag along with some black trainers and a hair tie so I can put up my hair.
"So you excited for dance practise then?" Kevin asked
"Of course Kev why don't you and the group swing down later I can introduce you all to my friends." I suggested
"Sounds like a plan I'm gonna get changed bye M." Kevin said and left my room
I went back to the wardrobe and took out my black mini heels from yesterday and a black cat tank top with green red shorts and some black tights. I got changed, curled my hair and picked up my school bag along with my sketch pad to get some info for what the costumes are gonna be like.
"Marinette you look really pretty today like usual but why do this for Adrien?" Tikki asked me
"Because I want him to see me differently also speaking of Adrien I need to call him to tell him about dance practise." I said picking up my phone and dialling the number Ayla gave me.
BOLD = Adrien
Normal = Marinette
Hello?
Hi A-Adrien it is M-Marinette s-speaking
Oh Hey M-Mari what is up?
I am just calling to tell you that I have booked us a dance rehearsal this afternoon at my old dance studio so bring dance clothes to school since we are going during lunch and straight after school if that is ok with your schedule
That is perfect I'm completely free today sure does Alya and Nino know?
No I decided to tell you first in case you couldn't make it with your modelling things
Ok I will tell Nino and you tell Ayla where is your old dance studio
Oh yes I forgot to actually tell you it is at 24 Berxton road my mum is driving us down their and picking us up later.
Perfect well see you at school bye Mari
Bye.
I ended the call and texted Ayla the same info and she replied with a smiley face emoji but the one thing I am confused about is the fact that Adrien stammered my name he doesn't normally do that . ever since yesterday he has been acting weird around me like he want to run away from me.
I walked to school and Ayla was already there so we talked about everything and started to design her dance costume and her make up for it as well then the bell went for class Ayla, Nino and I walked into school and into class together Adrien was already sitting in his seat and I noticed when I walked past he just stared at me.
"Morning Adrien." I said tapping his shoulder
"Good M-Morning M-Mari." He stammered
"Are you ok?" I asked he started to look flustered and hot well in a different way then usual.
"Y-Yes I'm fine thanks." He stammered again so I just stopped talking to him
The first 3 lessons before lunch went by fast then it was time for all of us to go to the dance studio. My mum picked all four of us up and took us to the studio. I pinned up my hair with the hair tie while Alya talked to me
"Ok I Adore your outfit like what is with you and the hero's of France theme this week?" Alya asked me
"Well I admire the hero's so much I decide to make a whole fashion line just to honour them I have a few pieces I have made for you Ayla." I answered
"Well I think they are fantastic Mari." Adrien complemented
"T-Thank y-you Adrien." I stuttered back
"Well kids we are here I will pick you up 10 minutes before 1 so you can get back to school on time." My mum said as we exited the car
"Bye mama." I said walking inside the studio. It hasn't changed since I went here years ago. The walls are white with royal blue dances painted on pictures of the best dances who ever went to that place lined the hallways. The golden chandelier hang from the high ceiling. The top 10 all time best dancers have huge pictures that line the hall.
"WOW!" Shouted all three of my friends I just giggled
"Miss Marinette Dupain-Cheng I haven't seen you here since you were 10." A lady said running up to us
"Hello Mrs Senarbella nice to see you again." I said giving her a hug
" So you ready for intense practise for your dance show?" She asked as enthusiastic as I remember being
"Yes we are, Mrs meet my dance partners Ayla, Nino and Adrien." I said pointing to them
"Hello." They all said at the same time
"Well nice to meet you I presume you have your music?" She asked
"Yes we do it is on Ayla's phone." I said handing her Ayla's phone.
"Ok Marinette your dressing room is where it all ways has been if you and your friends would like to change in there." she said pointing down the hall.
"It is still here?" I asked
"Yes my top students dressing room is always here." She replied walking away
"Thanks Mrs." I said running down the hall towards the dressing rooms with my friends chasing me
I entered the room that had my name engraved in gold above the door. Everything was still there even my wardrobe full of different dresses I wore I had pictures from every show in golden frames lining the walls.
"Wow Marinette is the girl in everyone of this pictures you?" Nino asked
"Yes when I was a little girl." I said. The boys went in the on suite bathroom and Ayla and I got changed in the main room.
We exited the room and went into the hall and I saw something that made me stop dead in my tracks. A giant picture of me from when I played the little pink princess in the princesses of a rainbow show. I was still a top dancer.
"Mrs why am I still in the hall?" I asked her as she walked up beside me
"You and Jacob are still the best ever dance students and partners I ever had at this place." She explained then it came back to me I forgot about Jacob.
"Wow Mari you look amazing." Adrien said from behind me
"Thanks so do you." I said turning around to look at his attire
"So lets get started." Ayla said warming up.
"AHH MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG!" Screamed a voice from behind me. I turned around to be faced with a girl with long blonde hair in a ponytail with blue eyes in a Starlighters dance uniform
"Stella Mcgorden?" I asked as she ran up and hugged me
"Yea silly who else would I be." She said laughing
Suddenly the entire team of Starlighters came down from upstairs
"MARINETTE!" They all screamed and ran down and hugged me knocking me to the floor
"Hey everyone." I said finally wiggling out of the hug
"Mari how do you know the entire crew of Starlighters?" Ayla asked taking photos
"Well know I mentioned my cousin had a dance crew well my cousin is Kevin Ryland the leader of Starlighters so I have known them since the became a thing." I explained
"Yea she is my cousin Marinette is the one who got me into dance." Kevin said placing his arm round my shoulders
"Kevin meet my dance crew the Miraculous tribe, We have my best friend Ayla, The boy next to her is Nino and the blonde boy next to him is Adrien Agreste the son of my fav fashion designer but you know that." I explained pointing to them.
"I have heard a lot about you three from my little cousin M here." He said extending his hand for them to shake. Thy shook his hand and all asked him questions
when Suddenly
"HEY BEAUTIFULL MISS ME?"
