Chapter 3 - A New Marinette

~Marinette~

I woke up to the sound of the rain hitting the roof as the rain and wind hummed a lullaby that made me want to sleep for eternity. As I pasted my desk I stopped because something about my room felt off the walls seemed empty I thought as realization sunk back into me Adrien pictures I thought remembering what happened yesterday. I laughed humorlessly thinking of the events I looked at the clock Looks like someone woke up early I thought as checked my wrists. If I knew anything was that I shouldn't let anyone see this they might get the wrong idea I thought as I looked at my regular outfit I need the to wear something that covered my wrists as I searched in my closet after minutes I found a pink sweater. The sweater was a light shade of pink like cotton candy and it felt like that too,there was black letters that spelled out P-a-r-i-s. I put the sweater on it was warm and cozy I decide to check my phone as the was missing texts and calls,and voice mails from Alya. I smiled sadly at some of the texts.

Alya: 2:45 p.m.

Marinette are you okay? Are you at your house ?

Alya: 3:56 p.m.

Come answer me I want to know you're okay?

You know you can always talk to me.

Alya: 4:05 p.m.

Please answer me I'm your best friend,Marinette please don't shut me out,not when you're like this.

I continued to scroll down my phone when I stopped at the words that appeared on my scree as my smile turned into a frown my eyes looked at the text 5 times before I respond to it.

Alya: 8:15 p.m.

Marinette are you okay please respond or I'll think you've been akumatized. You're not akumatized right?

Marinette: 7:45 a.m.

No Alya I'm not and If I was you'll be blogging about it.

I took a deep breathe and press send turning off my phone again as I walked to get an umbrella. I stopped in front of my mirror What I am doing I thought as my grip on the umbrella tighten a bit.

"Marinette?" I heard a voice say making me turn as I met Tikki's concerned eyes I gave her a small smile.

"What's wrong Tikki?" I asked as Tikki give me a smile.

"You're up early," Tikki told me "Any reason why?" as Tikki landed on top of my head.

"No" I responded as I walked to my backpack as I placed tikki in my purse.

"Tikki?" I said as I looked down at her.

"What is it Marinette?" Tikki said to me with a small smile.

"There is a reason why I woke up early today." I told Tikki.

"And what is the reason Marinette?" Tikki asked me.

"Well today I decide to find my confidence," I said as Tikki flew and gave me a big smile "Today is the day that I stand for myself that I won't be pushed around."

"That's great Marinette!" Tikki exclaimed happily.

"Let's get going or I'll be late." I told Tikki as she dived back in to my purse. As I walked down stairs I made sure to lock the door as I opened my umbrella I happily hummed. Finally I made it to school and I closed my umbrella I walked to my locker placing my books in it.

"Marinette." I heard from behind me I turned around but there was no one there I am hearing things I thought as a sudden cold breeze made me shiver. I was about to turn back to my locker when someone tackled me.

"Marinette I thought you were akumatized." I heard someone say as I realized it was Alya as she tackled hugged me.

"Alya can't breathe." I said as she released me I looked at her as she gave me a small smile.

"Didn't you get my message?" I asked her as she checked her phone and gave a small "oh" looking at me giving me a smile. I noticed that she wasn't bring up the events from yesterday but I was glad she was going full reporter on me.

"Sorry my bad and love the new sweater." Alya told me as I turned to my locker closing it in the process.

"Thanks let's get to class.". I said as I began walking towards class as Alya ran next to me together we walked in to class. As I entered the room very aware of green eyes looking at me. I went to my seat as the teacher walked in the classroom .

"Alright class today we'll be starting a new project." Miss said as this cause the class and I to groan as the teacher walked to the board and wrote poems on it. Poems really okayI thought as t I returned my attention to the teacher.

"Today you and your assigned partner will start to write a poem that talks about your feelings," Miss said.

"This poem will be read in front of the class,the poem will be due on Friday." As Miss walked to her desk and grabbed a clip board which I guess had our partners names.

"Alright now for partners Ivan and Mylene,Juleka and Rose, Nathanial and Max, Alya and Nino,Kim and Alix,Marinette and Adrien and as It seems that Chloe and Sabrina will be absent for a month they'll have to catch up when they get back." Miss said as she walked to her desk and sat down.

"Now children you have the rest of the class period to work with your partner and to decided where you'll both work at so get to working." Miss finish as everyone started to go with there partners.

I wasn't exactly happy nor mad nor sad just calm yeah calm as I felt a tap on my shoulder I saw Alya looking at me concerned as I give a weak smile.

"Marinette do you want to switch partners I could tell Miss you're not conformable." Alya said as she began to get up but I stopped her I smiled at her.

"Alya don't worry I'll be fine." I said surprise of the bit of confidence in my voice as Alya gave me a are-you-serious- look I smiled at her again.

"Marinette okay what's wrong you've been acting strange," Alya said as I was about to respond but she continued "First what happened yesterday, second you come to school like there's nothing wrong, third you get partnered with him," Alya said at Adrien "And you didn't burst into tears or fainting of happiness and you change your look so what have you done with the real Marinette." Alya said finished with a small frown I sighed and turned back to Alya.

"Alya I'm fine so please don't make this a big deal when it's not." I said noticing my mistake as I turned to look at Alya and then she want to reporter mode as she looked at me right in the eye.

"Not a big deal Marinette I'm pretty sure what happened was a big deal so why may I ask does it seems like you aren't the Marinette from yesterday." Alya said.

"Alya I decided to not make a big deal about this so please leave it alone." I said as Alya gave me a look I well know.

"Alright then prove it." Alya said calmly as she looked at her fingernails.

"What?" I asked because I was so confused what she meant.

"Prove that everything that happened yesterday was no big deal." Alya told me with a small smirk forming on her lips.

"Alright," I said with confidence as I turned away from her and stood up my eyes glancing at Alya as I walked over to Nino's and Adrien's desk. It seemed that they were also having their own conversation as I clear my throat I stood in front of them as they both looked at me.

"You know how we need to work on the poem project," I said as they both nodded "Well Alya and I were wondering if we can work together at my place today." As I stood there I looked at Alya's face as she was in awe. I turned to the boys as Nino was the first one to speak.

"Will there be cookies?'' Nino asked I smiled and nodded as he looked please with my responds.

"Alright count me in." Nino said as gave him a warm smile. I turned to Adrien as he was looking at his desk I smiled weakly and gently brushed my fingertips against his arm.

"What about you Adrien?" I asked gently as I saw him jump as I said his name he looked up at me I gave him a small smile.

"Yeah count me in too" Adrien said with a small smile as I gave him smile.

"Great we'll meet in front of the school well see you after school." I said cheerfully as I went back to my own seat and looked at Alya and she seemed in shock or something. I tapped on her shoulder as she gave me a look of awe.

"What?" I asked not sure why she was giving me that look .

"Did you just really do that or was I dreaming?" Alya said.

"I really did it." I simply answered as I looked at the paper in front of me and began to write.

As I turned to see Alya doing the same and I smiled to myself I could feel Tikki cheering in my bag.

This is the knew Marinette and I'm proud of this me now I feel fully complete I thought as the clock ticked waiting for the bell to ring.
