Kid's POV:
If I had any other choice, I would not be sitting in this limousine, talking to this spoiled blond girl. But I had information to find out this morning.
"I'm so glad you decided to ride with moi this morning. Of course you would though," Chloe said flirtingly(?) .
I forced a small smile. "But of course. We were rather rude to our most courteous host yesterday morning.
Chloe seemed pleased by my response but didn't say much else on the topic and proceeded to talk our ears off about how "amazingly perfect" she is. After what seemed like forever of Chloe going on and on (not that I really paid much attention), I noticed the Thompson's were starting to get annoyed so much to the point that I could actually see Patty debating on whether or not to jump out the moving vehicle.
Eventually I decided to save the sisters and finally get the information I desired.
"I'm terribly sorry to interrupt you, Ms Bourgeois, but I wondering if I could ask you just a few questions," I asked, trying to be as polite as possible.
The blond immediately smiled. My best guess was that she thought I was going to ask her about her. "Of course you can. You can ask me anything," she said, putting her sweetest voice forward, however one couldn't miss the hint of superiority laced throughout every word.
I pretended to not notice and continued. "As you know, we've only been here, in Paris for a few days. And we couldn't help but notice the hype over two people." Chloe's face lit up, clearly thinking I was referring to her. "What were their names?" I pretended to ask myself. "Lady-... Uh, Lady-something and her sidekick what's-his-name-"
"Oh, you're talking about Ladybug and Chat Noir," Chloe cut me off. "Ladybug is, like, only the best superhero ever. She's saved me so many times, we're practically BFFs. I'm Ladybug's biggest fan and she's mine," Chloe continued her "Ladybug rant" as Patty later named it.
"And what about the cat-man... Chat Noir, as you called him," I asked.
At the mention of superhero's name Chloe's nose immediately turned up. "Ugh, he's just some second rate sidekick Ladybug got saddled with," she sneered. She leaned closer to me and lowered her voice as though somebody else might hear her, "If you ask me, Ladybug's better off without him." She sat up straight and continued, "I mean if she really wanted somebody to fight alongside her, I would be a better pick than him."
Thanks to some stroke of luck we got to the school before she could ramble on about "The Great Ladybug". It's was obvious that I wasn't going to get any actual information that could be useful from Chloe.
Class started just as we walked into the classroom. Everything was going as it should until we heard a loud crash from across the street. Almost immediately, a few students and the teacher were at the window.
Without missing a beat Miss Bustier quickly announced, "Classes have been cancelled due to an Akuma attack. Please leave the school immediately."
Liz, Patty and I filed out of the classroom with everybody else, carefully avoiding Chloe as we snuck round a corner. If this attack was what I thought it was, we'd need to watch and keep an eye out for "Paris's favourite superheroes".
Adrien's POV:
My lovely Bugaboo and I made quick work of the Akuma. We celebrated with our usual fist-bump when I heard her earrings beep for her last spot.
Ladybug smiled and waved a little as he walked away. "Gotta go," she said, pulling her yo-yo out.
I smiled widely. "Do you really have to leave so soon, M'Lady?"
I heard her giggle. "You know I can't Chat." And with that she swung her yo-yo a disappeared.
I stood around for a few moments, looking in the direction in which she left.
After a few seconds, a pink flash of light off to my right caught my attention. I immediately turned and ran over to where I saw it. I didn't see anyone there, but a familiar figure running away from where I stood had my full attention. I would have run after him if my ring had not beeped. But that figure had been all to familiar with the more than noticeable black hair with three white stripes running around half his head. Without a doubt, I was looking at the retreating figure of the new guy in my class.
Kid's POV:
"Stop pacing," Liz said. "It's really not helping anything."
"I know," I sighed. "I'm just worried we might've been caught."
I heard Patty giggle from where she was seated on the bed. "You're just worried your crush would've caught you spying."
I suppressed a groan. "Now is not the time for that Patty," I snapped.
Liz shot up. "Kid, just calm down. He probably didn't even see us. What even happened back there? You've never been that distracted before."
I could feel the blush starting to creep up my neck. "I was just so immersed in the battle that I didn't even notice that it was over."
Liz nodded and pressed her lips together, clearly not buying my little lie.
Adrien's POV:
"Plagg, this is serious," I tried to get the little black kwami to listen to me again.
"Not as important as my Camembert," the kwami responded.
I rolled my eyes. "But seriously, what was with that light? Is it possible that he's another miraculous holder?"
Plagg shrugged his little shoulders. "Who knows kid? All I know is that I don't have any Camembert."
I figured the little kwami wasn't going to tell me anything and gave in, giving Plagg the stinky cheese. I came to a decision while watching Plagg eat. When next I see that new guy, I will confront him as Chat Noir and find out what his deal is.
Author's Note: I'm so terribly sorry it took me so long to get this chapter out. I literally have no excuse. I just hope you enjoyed reading it. Thank you all for reading and reviewing.
