Chapter 3:Marinette's P.O.VWe all sit there in stunned silence until Ayla clears her throat. I turn my eyes to hers, "What? That's crazy talk." I shake my head mentally face palming. She wouldn't understand. No one would.
"It's true though, she had confronted her in front of her crush and just humiliated her……...She was not acting like Ladybug, she was being mean and she knew it but didn't care." I whispered the words as I looked at Adrien. He knew this was true. I looked down to my hands sighing as the silence grew longer.
"What difference does that make?" It was almost a whisper. I lifted my head up and they met a pair of bright, bright green eyes. "She's a hero of Paris. Everyone makes mistakes." I felt something in my bag moved. My eyes darted to my bag then back to Adrien. I smiled and nodded.
"You're right, no one is perfect." His frown faded and his furrowed brows softened as he smiled back at me.
"Are you ok?" He turned his head in the question as I could see Nino and Ayla trade confused looks from the corner of my eye. I nodded.
"Ya…...Just fine." I smiled again not wanting to cause a problem. A fake smile to make others happy. "That was just bothering me……" I see the teacher turn around and the bell rang. I stood up as Adrien did too. Nino and Ayla apologized, but they needed to go somewhere.
"It's cool, have fun." Ayla smiled and we hugged. They left and I put my books in my bag. I could feel someone looking looking at me, I tried ignoring it until I couldn't any longer and I turned to face Adrien. His face was a mix of worry, suspicion, and confusion.
"What's really going on Mari?" His eyes softened, and made me want to tell him everything. I kept my smile in place in spite of Adrien's question.
"Nothing." I grab my bag and I don't even make it two steps before Adrien's hand grasps my shoulder. ((Gently of course, it's Adrien after all.)) I sigh.
"You sure, Mari you can talk to me." I wanted to turn around and hug him, have someone to talk to but Lila rushes past us with her head down as she avoided Adrien, and everyone else. I felt tears rush to my eyes and my throat close on me. The pain she felt was all my fault. I couldn't do anything , and I caused it all. I just wanted to cry, but I couldn't do that in front of him.
"I'm fine Adrien, I just nee-need to go." I barely managed to choke that out before running out of class.
