Chapter 3

New chapter, sorry for the wait. Also, thanks for you reviews; I was waiting for 8, but reaching 7 is just fine.

Enjoy~

I DO NOT OWN MIRACULOUS OR ANY OF IT'S CHARACTERS. I ONLY OWN THIS STORY AND MY OC's.

"What do you mean strange?" Alya asked, slightly confused. "Hey, do you think you're getting sick? You look like you're gonna pass out."

Marinette huffed, feeling oddly weak and hot. "N-now that you mention it... I do feel... kind of exhausted." The two girls finally reached the steps of the school and made their way up. It took all of Marinette's strength not to fall over or fall unconscious.

"Maybe you should go home?" Alya helped Marinette steady herself. "You're not looking too good. Anyway," She reached up to feel her forehead. "I think you have a fever."

"Huh-?" Marinette's speech was a little slurred. "...I do? Maybe that's just you?"

"Nah, girl. It's not me." Alya led her to a nearby bench, which happened to be where Nino and Adrien were.

"Hey, Alya." Nino waved to said girl as she helped Marinette take a seat. "Do you know if the nurse is in today? Adrien isn't feeling well."

"Huh, that's weird." Alya looked to Adrien, who seemed to be trembling. "Marinette's sick, too. She's got a fever."

"Bummer..." Nino frowned, "Adrien's got a mad case of vertigo, and see? He can't stop shaking."

"I'll tell someone so they can get help. Me and you should stay so they won't be here alone." Alya looked around, spotting a few of her classmates. She called upon two who seemed to watch them from the staircase.

The pair was Juleka and Rose, who both walked over to greet them. "Hey, what's going on over here?" Rose asked, looking over to Adrien, then Marinette. "Are they alright?"

"I don't know, me and Nino think they're sick." Alya explained.

"Oh no, we should do something." Rose turned to Juleka, who took her hand.

"Let's get the nurse, he'll help us." Juleka led Rose back to the stairs.

"Don't worry you guys we'll be back with the nurse." Rose waved then followed Juleka up.

"Thanks." Alya sighed, relieved. She then sat next to Marinette on the bench. "You hear that, Mari? The nurse will be here soon-oh?" Alya discovered that Marinette had dozed off, or maybe fell unconscious. "Hey Nino, I think Marinette fell asleep..."

"Hm, poor Marinette." Nino shook his head, "She must feel awful." He then decided to ask Adrien how he was feeling, giving his shoulder a light tap.

Adrien flinched, not expecting the action. He had been listening to all that was going on around him. It served as a distraction from his sudden dizziness, and kept his mind off his ever growing nausea. "...hm?" Was all he managed to get out since he felt like he could puke at any moment if he opened his mouth. At this point, Adrien just wanted to go home. This 'vertigo,' as Nino called it, was all too much for him.

Nino sensed that Adrien had begun to feel worse. "Just hang on a little longer, Juleka and Rose went to get the nurse. They won't take long."

"Yeah, his office is right upstairs." Alya added, earning a slow and cautious nod from Adrien.

A few moments passed before Juleka, Rose, rushed down with the nurse. "They're this way." Juleka led him to the sick teens and their friends.

The nurse greeted them upon arrival, "Hello you two, I've been told that your friends aren't feeling well?"

"That's right." Alya spoke first, informing him of Marinette's fever. "I didn't notice it until we got close to school. She seemed just fine..."

"Hmm...," The nurse carefully checked Marinette's temperature. "Yep, that's a fever alright," he removed his hand from her forehead. "I'll have to give Marinette a fever reducer and watch over her for a while." He then moved to Nino and Adrien. "Now, what seems to be the problem here?"

"Not too long ago, Adrien told me that everything was spinning. I think he meant that he's dizzy," Nino told the man. "And he's been shaking like this for a while now, but he hasn't spoken much since it started so I'm not sure how he is now."

"Hm, let's have a look. Adrien, was it?" The nurse asked, to which Nino gave a nod. Adrien remained virtually the same, but slightly raised his head so they knew he was listening. "Could you open your eyes for me?" Adrien wasn't sure whether or not he wanted to, but did what the nurse asked. He opened them slowly, revealing the strange, steady eye movement from one side to the other. He'd constantly attempt to refocus on the man before quickly shutting them once again.

"It's as you said, Nino. He does appear to be suffering from dizziness." The nurse stood, helping Nino with Adrien. "Let's get these two to my office. There's not much I can do here. Juleka, could you and Rose help Alya with Marinette?"

"Mhm," Juleka gave him a short nod. She and Rose both helped Alya lift Marinette from the bench, then practically carried her up the stairs since she was out cold. It was nearly the same for Nino and the nurse, who also had to guide Adrien up. The boy's balance was far too impaired for him to walk properly, let alone think straight.

Once they made it to the nurse's office, they placed the sick teens on pre-readied recovery couches in sections that lined the back walls. "That'll do," the nurse sighed, now relieved to have gotten both kids there safely. Just then the school bell rang out. "And, this leaves you all just enough time to get to class."

"Will they be sent home?" Alya asked. Rose also wanted to know.

"Most likely. It would be best for them to return home to recover, especially in Marinette's case."

Nino sighed heavily, "Well, that does make sense. We should probably get their homework for them, so they'll be able to catch up."

"Yeah, I think they'd appreciate it." Juleka smiled,

"Oh!" Nino headed for the door, "We should hurry or we'll be late!"

"You're right, let's get going!" Rose followed after him along with Juleka. "Come on Alya."

"Alright, I'm coming." Alya paused in the doorway, prompting everyone else to do the same. "Thank you Mr...um?"

"Loudin." The nurse smiled, "and, you're welcome. You all should really be getting to class now. Feel free to drop by afterwards, though."

"Okay, Mr. Loudin." Nino tipped the brim of his hat. "We'll come by later. Bye for now!" With that they all raced to class, hoping Ms. Bustier wouldn't punish them for being late.

Nurse Loudin waved, "Bye now."
