Chapter 2:
Marinette and Alicia stared at the three students that stood in the front of the class, more specifically at the blonde girl. She strongly resembled Chloe, only with a whole lot less, more subtle touch of makeup on her face. And her hair was in a low ponytail as she wore a satin dark blue cardigan, white blouse and black jeans with white flats on her feet. Marinette and Alicia looked at each other surprised then turned to the other two, who were obviously twin siblings since both had strong similarities with each other.
The girl was wearing a white open shoulder short sleeve top with a light blue butterfly pattern on the right hip of the shirt, light blue capri pants, white ankle strap wedge sandals, around her neck sat a white choker with a heart shaped charm and a white bracelet sat on her right wrist. The boy next to her wore shredded dark blue almost grey jeans, black combat boots, midnight blue v neck shirt, a necklace of some sort hidden in his shirt, and a black ripped, sleeve less denim jacket.
Marinette blinked as she looked over at the names on the board. The name Bonheur sounded familiar to her.
"Bonheur? As in the Bonheur? Their dad's a lawyer and their mom's a doctor." Nino asked, in awe, causing the other students tp become in awe too.
"Wow, that's really interesting." Alya said in awe, holding her cellphone up smiling. Everyone in the class, except Chloe and Sabrina, were in awe as both Christina and Christopher smiled a small bit.
"Y-Y-Y-Yes... t-t-that's u-us..." Christina muttered shyly before tugging on her hair lightly. Marinette smiled a bit as Christopher gently pet his twin's head to help her relax. Marinette couldn't help smile a bit at the obvious closeness of the two. Her attention then went to the other girl with them, Ceceila. Her strong resemblance to Chloe was a surprise but she appeared to wear less extravagant, more subtle looking makeup and wore a satin dark blue cardigan, a white blouse and black jeans with white flats.
"Wow, so cool." Nino whispered to Adrien, who looked at Christopher, Christina and Ceceila, and gave a small nod.
"Ok, you three can sit in the back." Miss Bustier said, pointing to the unoccupied desks behind Ivan. Christopher and the two girls walked up the steps to their new seats and Christina sat out in the seat next to the stairs, her brother sitting in the seat next to her. Ceceila sat next to Ivan and all three teens pulled out their notebooks before Miss Bustier began the lesson.
"Ok class, as we've talked about yesterday—" Miss Bustier said, though Marinette turned to look behind her at the new students.
She was curious to know a little bit of them and possibly be friends with them
~Lunch~
Marinette grabbed her lunch and got up from his seat. She, Alya and Alicia walked to the door when Marinette paused in her tracks,
"Hold up, I want to invite the new students to join us." Marinette explains, turning to the back of the classroom, only to find the two seats in the back already empty.
"Looks like they already left." Alya muttered, when Alicia motioned to Cecelia still sitting at her desk.
"Not all of them." Alicia said, before the three girls walked over to the blonde, who was reading a magazine at her desk, and her lunch sat next to her.
Cecelia reached for a sandwich when she noticed the shadows in front of her, and she looked up to see Marinette, Alya and Alicia.
"Um, can I help you?" Cecelia asked, looking at the three girls confused.
Marinette, Alya and Alicia smiled at her as they held up their lunches.
"We wanted to see if you wanted to join us and our friends for lunch." Marinette explains, Cecelia looking at them surprised.
"Um, s-sure." Cecelia replied, before she grabbed her lunch and magazine up and she followed the three girls out of the classroom.
The four walked downstairs to the first floor and Cecelia saw three girls sitting at a bench together. She recognized them from her class. Marinette, Alya and Alicia walked over to their friends and sat down with them on and next to the bench, making some room for Cecelia.
"So Cecelia, how was it studying in England?" The girl in all pink, who she knew was named Rose asked her
Cecelia, having to pause in mid bite, and smiled.
"It was nice. Everyone there was nice and I had a lot of fun. On weekends I went to many historical landmarks." Cecelia explains, smiling at her fond memories.
Marinette and Alicia smiled at each other, before Alicia spotted Christopher and Christina, sitting on the bottom steps of the stairs.
"Marinette, there are Christopher and Christina."
Marinette looked over and smiled before turning to her sister,
"Let's go see if they want to join us for lunch."
Alicia gave a nod and both sister stood up and walked over to the brother and sister, as Christopher handed his sister half a sandwich as she shared some of her grapes with him. Both looked up at the sisters, as Marinette smiled at them, while Alicia smiled shyly.
"Hi, my name is Marinette. And this is my sister, Alicia. We wanted to see if you wanted to join us and our friends for lunch." Marinette said smiling as Alicia gave a shy smile too.
Christina smiled a small bit as she turned to her brother, who looked at her and gave a small nod. Both picked up their lunches and followed the two girls to the bench and sat down to eat with the girls.
"So Christina, Christopher how was it like living in America?" Alya asked, and Christopher and Christina turned to her and smiled.
"It was interesting really. But it was eventful. But we are happy to be back." Christopher said and his sister gave a nod in agreement.
"Have you two heard of Ladybug, Lapin Rosé, and Chat Noir?" Alya asked suddenly, and Marinette, Alicia and their friends giggled at Alya as Christopher, Christina and Cecelia looked at Alya.
"The heroes of pairs?" Christina asked before Alya gave a nod as she pulled her cell out, and showed them her ladybug blog.
Christina, Christopher and Cecelia looked at the three photos, one of Ladybug in her signature red suit and mask, the second of Chat Noir in his black suit, matching mask, cat ears and tail-like belt. The third photo was of Lapin Rosé a pink sleeveless full body suit, a light pink rolled up sleeve pink jacket, white fingerless gloves with fuzzy fur on the wrists, bunny paw print marks on the glove palms, matching over the knee boots, and a white satchel tied around her waist in a similar fashion to Ladybug's yo-yo. On her head sat cute pink, long bunny ears, a matching cotton bunny tail sat on her lower back, and on her face sat a simple pink mask.
"Lapin Rosé looks so cute." Christina said, as Cecelia gave a nod.
Alicia looked away, staring down at her lunch as her hair covered her blushing face. Marinette noticed her sister's reaction and smiled a little before turning back to Alya's phone.
"She does, doesn't she?" Marinette asked, in her tone of voice was a hint of mischievousness, causing Alicia looked at her sister, ready to slap her shoulder to make her stop teasing.
Christopher smiled as Christina smiled at the photos of Ladybug, Chat and Lapin.
"Where there also heroes like them in America?" Alya asked, putting her phone away.
Christopher and Christina looked at each other and turned to the girls.
"Well there were heroes similar to them in America." Christina said and jumped back a little, when Alya leaned a little too closer to her.
"Really? Who are they? Have we heard of them? What are their names?" Alya asked, excited.
"U-Um..." Christina muttered nervously a bit.
"We didn't see any heroes ourselves, but in every city we went to had their own heroes. We visited ever big city from Los Angeles to New York." Christopher explained and Christina gave a nod.
Marinette and Alicia smiled as they ate their lunches together and continued to talk with their new friends. After finishing, Christina excused her to go to the restroom. Marinette turned to her sister, smiling.
"Maybe we can invite them and Cecelia to our house after school." Marinette said, and Alicia gave a nod in agreement.
"Oh no, not again.." Cecelia muttered suddenly, and Marinette, Alicia, Christopher and the other girls looked in the direction she was looking at.
They saw Chloe and Sabrina surround Christina, who moved back from them. Marinette and Alicia stood up to go save Christina when Cecelia beat them to it as she stormed over. The two Dupain-Cheng sisters looked at each other before following Cecelia as Alya followed them too.
"Let's get something straight here. Don't go thinking you can getting all cozy with my boyfriend Adrien." Chloe said, smiling smug at Christina, who looked at her confused and blinked.
"I-I had no clue he had a girlfriend. I-I only just met him." Christina muttered, looking away to the ground.
"He doesn't…" Cecelia said, walking over and stood in front of Christina as she turned to Chloe and Sabrina, her hands on her hips.
"Seriously Chloe, still picking on the innocent? Really, when are you ever going to grow up?" Cecelia said, and Chloe glared.
"How dare you say that to me! I am completely grown up." Chloe said, as Marinette, Alicia, Alya and Christopher walked over.
Having heard Cecelia's words, Marinette and Alicia turned to Alya giggling,
"Sure, throwing temper tantrums is very grown up.." Alicia whispered and Alya tried to hold in her laugher, which came out as a snicker.
"Really when are you ever going to get it through your thick skull that Adrien only sees you are a friend that's all." Cecelia said, smiling as Alya, Marinette and Alicia watched the exchange.
"Oh please, it's only a matter of time he'll finally accept me as his girlfriend." Chloe said smiling, causing Alya, Marinette and Alicia to roll their eyes at her words.
"Yah Chloe, sure. In your dreams." Cecelia said and Chloe looked at her shocked, before glaring at Cecelia in anger.
"Ouch.." Christopher muttered, and Christina looked at the two blondes fighting.
She walked over and stepped between the two girls.
"H-hey i-it's ok. N-No need to fight. Chloe, I am not interested in finding a boyfriend at all right now, a-and I-I only just met Adrien. A-And Cecelia, thank you for helping me. I appreciate you coming to my defense. " Christina said and Cecelia smiled at her while Chloe rolled her eyes.
"Whatever, just stay away from Adrien or you'll regret it." Chloe said, before she walked away with Sabrina as she flicked her hair back.
Cecelia rolled her eyes and turned to Marinette and the others,
"Sorry if she's been a serious pain this whole time." Cecelia said, and Alicia smiled at Alya and her sister.
"A serious pain is putting it lightly." She joked and Marinette and Alya smiled before they and Cecelia turned back to Christina.
"Sorry about Chloe, she's very—" Cecelia began when Alicia smiled.
"Selfish. self-absorbed. mean. bossy. Shall I go on?" Alicia asked, and caused Cecelia to laugh at her words as Alya and Marinette smiled too.
"U-Um I'm sure she's a nice person. S-She can't really be that bad." Christina said, and the four girls looked at each other as Christopher sighed and pet her head gently.
"Your too kind for your own good sometimes sis." He said and Christina smiled a small bit.
"I guess we can't exactly make the choice for you. You'll just have to see for yourself what kind of person she really is." Marinette said, and Alicia and Alya gave a nod.
"Yah true, at least you don't have to be around her twenty-four seven." Cecelia said, rolling her eyes and Christopher and the girls smiled sheepishly at her a bit.
~After School~
The rest of the day went by more quietly. Christina and Christopher smiled as they walked out of the school building with Alya, Marinette, Alicia and Cecelia. Cecelia smiled as she showed Christopher and the girls photos she took during her time in england.
"These photos are all beautiful." Alicia said, smiling at the photos she saw.
"It all was. I'm sure you'll visit england and other places one day." Cecelia said smiling, before her phone began to ring.
"It's my dad. I gotta go. I'll message you all later." She said, waving bye before she walked away as Marinette and the others waved bye to her.
Cecelia answered her phone as she walked to the white limo waiting for her.
"She's really nice." Marinette said as Alicia gave a nod.
"Yah, a whole lot better than Chloe." She muttered and Alya smiled.
"Seems Cecelia got all the kindness of them both." Alya said before they heard a car horn and saw a black renault captur waiting across the street.
"That's our mom. See yah tomorrow." Christopher said as he and Christina began to walk to the car when Marinette stepped forward.
"Hold on, here's our numbers. So we can keep in touch whenever." Marinette said and Alicia and Alya held their phones up and exchanged their numbers with Christopher and Christina.
"Thanks, bye." Christina said and she and her brother walked across the street.
Alya and the two sisters watched as the two siblings climbed into the car, before it drove off down the street.
"Well they were also nice." Alya said, and Marinette and Alicia gave nods.
"Yah, Christina is really nice and Christopher seems really cool." Alicia said, before Marinette turned to her and smiled.
"Oh, could it be my little sister might like the new boy?" She teased and Alicia blushed heavily.
"M-Marinette! Not funny!" Alicia shouted, causing Marinette and Alya to giggle as Alicia covered her red, blushing cheeks with her hands.
Alya reached over and patted Alicia's back as Marinette smiled at her sister's shy, blushing face.
"Well I gotta head home, meet you two later at your place to study." Alya said, and began to walk away and both Marinette and Alicia waved bye to her.
"See yah later Alya." Marinette said, before she and Alicia began to make their way home too.
"That wasn't funny Marinette, I don't tease you when you'r with Luka." Alicia said, pouting in her sister's direction.
"Come on, I was only teasing." Marinette said before her pink purse opened and Tikki peaked out at the two sister's.
"It's ok Alicia. No need to be embarrassed." She said, before Rabbie peaked out from hiding in Alicia's hair.
"I find it really cute how you like the new boy. Maybe you can ask him out on a date." Rabbie teased and Alicia glared at her as Marinette and Tikki laughed a little.
"Rabbie." Alicia whispered annoyed before, she began to walk ahead of Marinette quickly.
Marinette and Tikki exchanged smiles before she closed her purse and chased after her sister.
"Alicia wait for me! Come on, it was just a small joke!" Marinette called out to her sister.
