Episode 3:

Cat noir didn't come back that night. Strangely, it upset me. The up coming nights, i was out on my balcony looking for signs of Cat noir. There was a battle pretty much everyday but i always wanted him to appear and to hold me. But he never came. One night, i was desperately watching the stars when someone came. But it wasn't Cat noir who showed up. It was Turtle shell. "Hey Miriane!" he said landing on my balcony. "Hum… Hi! What are you doing here?" i asked nervously. He looked down. He had that same upset look then the first night he came. "Look Miriane. I'm really sorry. I know you probably have no idea what i'm talking about or why i'm apologizing but… I just feel the need to get this of my chest. At least like this." he said. I seriously had no idea what he was talking about. I looked in his eyes and i saw pain, sadness and… I couldn't find what it was. He came closer to me and said: "Miriane, in real life, when i'm not Turtle shell, i hurted you. I did so badly that today, you don't talk to me anymore. Not having the priviledge to look into your eyes everyday. I know like this you don't know who i am. You have no clue. But i can just tell you that the moment you bumped into me in class, i started to love you. I have since the day your eyes met mine. They say you can't love someone you just saw but you… I feel like i know you a lot, like i see you everyday." The more he talked, the more he got closer to me, the more i felt confused. I was starting to recognize those eyes. I started to walk back so he wouldn't get too close but, eventually, i got against the wall and he was closer than ever. He stopped talking and looked into my eyes. He was so close too me. I looked into his eyes and i got lost. I didn't know what i felt but i couldn't see it. I didn't know what i felt so i just didn't move. He lowered his head to kiss me and brought me closer to him. He kissed me and i didn't pull back. When he pulled back, someone jumped on him bringing him to the ground. It was Cat noir. "You! You have no right to kiss her." he said. "Why are you here! What do you want?" Turtle shell said surprised. "You will leave this place and if i see you here one more time you will pay for it. Understood?" Cat noir said. He looked so mad Flutter guy started to be scared. He nodded then flew away. "Cat noir? What the hell? He didn't do anything wrong!" i said angrily. "Calm down princess. I just didn't want him to kiss you." he said. "And why? Why were you against that? You could have kissed me the other day but you didn't. Heck you didn't even come back after that." i said still angry. I started crying and he hugged me. "Princess, what's wrong?" he said holding me. "You never came back. It's been a week and i think if you hadn't come tonight i would've given up. You're never there and sometimes i feel like you don't care." i said. I left inside and sat on my bed. Cat noir opened the door and said: "Look. I'm sorry but i thought... When i saw Turtle shell came after me, i thought you didn't care and you liked him. I came back every night and watched you. But when he came back. I just couldn't hold it. I jumped on him because it didn't matter anymore if you loved me or not. I wasn't gonna let him have you. I know i said i like Ladybug but… I always see her pushing me away. You're not a rebound, i'd never do that to you. It's just that when i first saw you, i knew there was something with you. When Nino told me he liked you i began seeing that i couldn't have you. I was too invisible for you to see me. There was only one person who you could see, Cat noir. He could tell you the truth and get your attention. Cat noir and Ladybug, they say it's meant to be but to me, it doesn't matter. If i didn't come back. It was to not hurt myself. I didn't want to do that." I couldn't keep silent so i just said: "Then why did you just stay and watch me instead of coming to see me?" "Because…" Cat noir began. I decided to encourage him by turning around. I gave him a warm smile. He smiled back at me and came across the room to me. I stood up and went towards him. He was a inch away from me. "Because i love you."he said. I smiled and looked away. Cat noir brought my head closer and kissed me. We kissed for a few minutes before pulling back. He whispered to my ear: "I've gotta go but i'll see you tomorrow in class" and he ran outside. I was shocked. So Cat noir was in my class? The next morning. I could regain my place. I was moved where Adrien was sitting. Next to the red hair guy. His name is Nathaniel and he draws so well that i feel like an amateur next to him. He promised to show me a few tricks one day. He told me he was akumatised once. He was turned into the Evillustrator and he was after Marinette. He has a crush on her. I told him about my adventures with Cat noir and Turtle shell. He gives great advice but he's easily scared. Three weeks later, Halloween is soon. Cat noir didn't visit me since our kiss. Nathaniel says he's probably just scared because of Turtle shell but that maybe he's still here watching. But one day, Nathaniel didn't come to school and i just couldn't take it. Cat noir was gone. I saw him once in a while in battle but i never really talked to him even if we were all partners. My life was so much better as a superhero. Marinette and Alya finally confronted me because they had noticed my smile was depending on Nathaniel's presence. "Wait, so you mean Cat noir goes to our school?" Marinette said shocked. "OMG! Do you think Ladybug goes here to? Maybe i can find out who's the real Cat noir!" Alya said super excited. "I don't know it's just… Nathaniel was the first one to know about this so the fact that he can cheer me up about it is just so relieving." i said. Then Adrien arrived: "Hey Alya, have you seen Nino? Wo! Miriane, are you okay?" "If i was okay my heart wouldn't be broken by a stupid cat." I was sitting on a bench with my arms wrapped around my legs so i let my head fall on my knees again. "Hum… Could you clarify please?" Adrien acted a bit confused and nervous. Alya decided to answer for me: "Okay, so long story short: Cat noir fell in love with her but so did Turtle shell. Cat noir chased Turtle shell away after he kissed her and Cat noir kissed but then Cat noir disappeared and she haven't seen him since three weeks ago. So she told Nathaniel but Nathaniel isn't here to cheer her up today so now she's super sad." "Wow… I'm sorry Miriane" he said sitting down next to me. "It's not your fault. I just thought he loved me but i guess i was wrong. Guys are stupid anyway." and i walked away with my bag. I was so upset lately. So that night, i went on my balcony to see if there was anyone. "Okay i've had it. He played with my heart long enough. I'm gonna find that stupid cat." i said furious. "So let me get this straight, you want to transform so you can go chase a guy?" Laiil said. I didn't answer and i just transformed. I flew around the city for hours but still nothing. I was lucky it was friday so i wouldn't be tired in school. When i finally came home it was past midnight. I changed back inside then went out on my balcony. There was still nothing. So i sat down crying on my balcony against the barrier. I was so upset. Cat noir told me he loved me but it wasn't even true. "Don't cry Miriane, he's not worth it." Laiil told me. She was kind of rude sometimes but she would never leave me here crying. "He didn't show up. He never did and he never does. If i see him again i think i'll slap him" i said crying from anger. "Are you sure about that?" said a voice on my roof. "Cat noir!?" i said surprised. It was him! He helped me up and looked into my eyes. He was about to speak but i slapped him. "YOU IDIOT! IT'S BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE I SAW YOU! SO WHAT? YOU KISS ME AND THEN YOU DISAPPEAR? IF YOU DID LOVE ME YOU WOULD'VE COME BACK!" i slammed the door of the balcony and cried on the floor against the door. "Princess…" he said but i didn't want to hear anything he had to say. "Go away you idiot! Don't you think you've done enough?" He sat down against the door at the same spot but on the other side. "Look. I didn't come see you because i needed time to think about us." he said. "And that's supposed to be an excuse? You were gone for 3 weeks. Now go away." i said angrily while still crying. "I'm not going anywhere." he said sadly and i stopped crying. "I know you don't want to see me but if i leave now i promise you i'll be back tomorrow." He said while standing up. "I honestly seriously doubt it." i said on the other side. Cat noir opened the door slowly and kneeled down to see me. "I promise you i'll be back tomorrow." He kissed me and walked out. I just didn't know anymore.
