Chapter 7: Adrien
When I awoke, I was in my bedroom. It was night time and sadly I had no idea how I had gotten there. I looked at my clock and it read 1:43. I tried to think back to what time I had left to go look for Alya, but I couldn't remember. I decided that it must have not been to long since I talked to Hawk Moth. I tried to go back to sleep to be able to go to school in the morning without being tired.
After about an hour I gave up. She was stuck in my head. I couldn't stop think on if she was ok or not. I then remembered that I still had homework. Shoot!
I quickly ran to my desk turned on the light and began to work speedily on my homework.
When I finished, it was sloppy, but done. I went back to bed this time it was 3:30. I couldn't sleep until around 5:30, which I have to get back up at 7:30!
I woke up and it was 8:45 and my ride was leaving in 15 mins. I efficiently got dressed and ran to the bathroom. The first thing I found when I looked in the mirror was a dark purple catawampus circle around my eye.
That Hawk Moth! He gave me a black eye! What am I going to do? Will people ask? I kept thinking in my head. I got it! I will say I got in a fight at fencing practice. I thought. I got ready tried to cover up the bruise it was hopeless. I grabbed a quick granola bar and ran out the door.
At school everyone, literally, asked me what happened to my eye. The weirdest question was from Marinette and Alya. "Hey, Adrien!" Alya said talking smoothly. "Hey! I heard that something happened to you yesterday, are you alright?" I said trying not to blow my cover. "Yeah I'm ok. Marinette wanted to ask you a question." She said winking at Marinette.
Marinette began to say things that didn't make sense at all, like usual. "Um, how did your hair… I mean eye get so…" She began but I could hear what she was trying to say. "It's ok I just got in a fight at fencing yesterday." I said trying to help her out. I've known that she has had this crush on me since, forever. I don't mind her gifts that she attempts to give me. She is really sweet, way better than Cloe. I don't mind I sort of charm people by accident, not trying to brag.
"That sounds terrible!" Alya said jumping for Marinette saving her friend before she makes too much of a fool, even though I find it cute.
Wait! Did I just say that Marinette trying to talk to me is cute? No! I like Ladybug and only Ladybug that is all.
"Yeah I know apparently some guy didn't seem too happy about him losing to me!" I said laughing. "Well we will, um, talk to you later!" Marinette jumped in with a big grin on her face. "See you later!" I said feeling good for her because she finally said something!
I just hope I am able to come up with a plan in less than three days to destroy Hawk Moth, or Marinette, Alya, Nino, and even Cloe won't survive. This is not going to well.
