Marinette stood up at her desk and said with sudden confidence. "Chloe he's not your's and he was assigned as my partner."
"Ugh well we'll see what MY FATHER THE MAYOR has to say about this!" Chloe said with her hand out reached waiting for Sabrina to hand her her phone. Sabrina handed Chloe her phone in a fumbled motion almost dropping it, which caused Chloe to glare at her. As Chloe prepared to call her father there teacher spoke up.
"That's enough out of you girls. Chloe I decide the partners in class and I decided that Adrien and Marinette are going to be partners on this project. And I don't care what your father has to say about it. You had no right to interrupt the class like that and call my decision into question. Now sit down so we can resume class or shall I send you to the headmaster's office?"
Everyone was surprised by the teachers sudden outburst. Marinette and Chloe both returned to their seats and let their teacher continue assigning partners.
"Okay now that the disturbance is over" The teacher said glancing in Chloe's direction causing her to huff. "Let's see next partners will be Sabrina and Max, Alya and Nino, Chloe and Kim, Alix…." Their teacher was cut off once again by Chloe standing up at her seat.
Chloe exploded at the teacher, she was now yelling "ME AND KIM! Oh now that is something I just won't stand for. First you deny me my right to work with Adrien and then you give me this meat head as my partner. Also"
"THAT IS ENOUGH. Chloe go to the headmaster's office RIGHT NOW!" The teacher exclaimed."
Chloe just pouted and snapped her fingers waiting for Sabrina to collect their belongings and she walked out the classroom with Sabrina close behind. The room fell silent until there teacher spoke up once again. She resumed calling out the rest of the pairs, but Marinette wasn't paying attention she was still fuming from her spat with Chloe. How dare she try and claim Adrien as her own. I mean who wouldn't fall for him he's sweet and smart, not to mention athletic and… Now isn't the time to be daydreaming Marinette. You've got to figure out away to talk to Adrien. Marinette thought to herself. She sighed as she placed both hands on the side of her head.
Alya looked over at her best friend and saw that she was concentrating hard on something. Poor girl. Alya turned her focus back to the boy sitting below her.
"Hey Nino, what do you think the projects gonna be on?" Alya asked tapping him on the head with her pencil.
"No idea. What do you think Adrien?" Nino asked his best friend.
Adrien just shrugged his shoulders. He wasn't really listening to Nino or Alya at the moment. He turned around to look at Marinette, but when he did Marinette just blushed and hid behind her sketch book. Working with her is going to be harder than I thought. Was the last thing Adrien thought before his attention was caught by the bell ringing.
"Okay that's all for today's class. Tomorrow I'll announce what the project topic is going to be." Their teacher said as the students began filing out of the classroom.
The rest of the day flew by before anyone realized and the students were soon exiting the school. Nino had caught up with Adrien at the front steps.
"Yo man so we hangin' today or what. I know that you don't have any shoots to rush off too." Nino asked draping his arm around Adrien.
"Sorry Nino, but I have something I need to do today." Adrien said. Nino understood and waved bye to Adrien as he hopped down the school steps. Adrien stood there and waited for Marinette to come out. She was talking to Alya when she did.
"Um hey Marinette. I was wondering if you had a few minutes. I wanted to talk to you about something." Adrien said approaching the two girls.
Alya just smiled and looked back and forth between the two. Marinette on the other hand was frozen solid. OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! Adrien wants to talk to me. TO ME! Is it about my crush on him?Did he find out?Does he feel the same way? It's ok ok because you got this. You got this. Oh no he's smiling. You don't got this. Was all Marinette could think she couldn't even register the words about to come out of her mouth.
"Uh sorry can't the bread needs to bake my parents… Baking my mom with.. uh Dad and I umm.. Gotta go bye.." Was all Marinette could mutter out. Her face was red with embarrassment as she left Alya and Adrien standing there.
