The first half of the day seemed to drag on for Marinette, everytime she was called upon to answer a question she'd fumble over her words and end up embarrassing herself, even worse is Adrien was right there to see her blushing fiercely, if she tried to hide her face in her arms, the teacher called her out.
By the time lunch rolled around Marinette felt like she'd gone ten rounds with a champion kick boxer, she was beyond ready to go home. Currently she was sitting on a school bench drawing in her sketch book when her ears picked up on the commotion.
"C'mon, just one date that's all I'm asking," a male voice pleaded.
"I keep telling you: I'm. Not. Interested," Lynette replied slowly, her voice getting louder with each syllable, she moved to the left to try to leave, the guy blocked her.
"Why not? You don't know me, I want to get to know you. You're really pretty you know," The guy stated.
'Ugh! That's creepy,' The blunette thought to herself as she quickly put her sketch book and pencil away and began making her way over to them, she hadn't seen two guys from her class heading over as well. She saw Lynette try to move to her right to get away from the guy, again he mimicked her movement and kept her blocked in.
"I'm not going to leave until you say 'yes'. I don't bite, I promise," the guy pressed, invading the brunette's personal space a bit more as he leaned into her.
A fist slammed against the wall next to the guy's head. Lynette's attention turned to a familiar blonde with emerald eyes. Normally a very kind and friendly facial expression was replaced with a fiercely enraged expression as the Agreste boy stared the black haired male down.
"I don't bite either – I punch and kick. Which is exactly what I'll do to your pathetic ass if you don't lay off," Adrien warned him. The guy chuckled a bit as he turned back to look at Lynette only to be met with the broad chest of Kim as he stood blocking the guy's path.
"Adrien isn't the only one sickened by you," Kim added, past Kim the black haired boy could clearly make out Nino, Alya, Max and Alix, the four of them had formed a perimeter around Lynette, keeping her clear away from the black haired boy.
The guy smirked at Lynette before kissing his index and middle finger then showing the same two fingers to Lynette conceding, "You win this round. I'll see you in class."
'I gonna puke,' Lynette thought to herself as she felt the bile creeping up her throat, instinctively her left hand came up to her mouth as she swallowed forcefully
Adrien saw the colour draining from Lynette's face and asked, "Are you okay?"
Lynette pushed Alix away as the contents of her stomach erupted from her mouth.
'Answers that,' Alix thought as she held Lynette's hair back. Alya gently rubbed the vomiting girl's back while Nino, Kim, Max, and Adrien acted as a human curtain, careful to keep far enough back that the vomit wouldn't get on their shoes.
When Lynette stopped vomiting she instantly felt her face flush with embarrassment. Max offered Lynette his hankercheif, which she gratefully accepted wiping her mouth.
"I'll wash it and give it back tomorrow, Max," Lynette offered.
Then a thought occurred to her as she looked to Max, "Why'd you come over? You're not a towering house like Kim, or trained in Martial arts like Adrien?"
Max straightened his glasses as he replied, "True. But if all I could do was act as a human shield to keep him from getting close to you then I'm willing to do so. Nobody should be intimidated like that. It isn't right."
The girls nodded in agreement with Max as Marinette joined them.
"I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner, Lynette," Marinette apologized.
Lynette sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, "No need to apologize, Marinette. I'm just embarrassed by all of this."
Adrien shrugged a bit, "It's no problem. Just disgusts me when I see that kind of stuff. Some guys can't take a hint. Speaking as a guy the trouble with some guys is they have two heads… and they think with the wrong one."
Lynette's face scrunched up in confusion before she hesitantly admitted, "I—uhh- I'm-I'm not following you. What do you mean?"
Adrien flushed a little at the thought of explaining it more clearly.
"Well the tip of the penis is often referred to as 'the head'. In this instance, referring to the small head or the 'wrong head' meaning the male thinks with his penis, not the head which houses the brain and actual cognitive thought," Max offered.
"Oh," Lynette replied, seeming to understand Max's explanation.
"I'll walk you to class, or the nurse's office, whichever," Kim offered Lynette.
"I don't want to trouble anyone," Lynette refuted.
"It's no trouble. I'll even join Kim in walking you to class," Marinette chimed in.
"Besides, your teacher should know what happened," Adrien pointed out.
"Right," Lynette replied, rubbing the back of her head under her chestnut locks.
'Why is she feeling so guilty about all of this? It isn't her fault,' Marinette thought to herself as she watched Lynette's body language.
Nino decided to add in another point, "If your teacher knows then she can let your parents and that boy's parents k—"
"No! No my parents cannot know," Lynette interrupted, her voice was nearly shouting. The group blinked as they looked at Lynette wide eyed.
"Lyn, you could get attacked outside of school if something isn't done," Adrien coaxed.
'That's probably the plan,' Lynette thought to herself as she squeezed her eyes shut. She broke away from the group and ran towards the school entrance.
The group stayed quiet for a bit before Alya broke the silence asking, "did that seem like a strange reaction to anyone else or is it just me?"
"I wonder what's got her so scared about her parents knowing," Nino voiced his thoughts.
"If it were me Maman and Papa would definitely want to know," Marinette agreed.
"Yeah but—" Adrien stopped himself and thought for a moment, none seemed to notice that Kim followed Lynette after he spotted the black haired boy heading back into the school as well.
