Marinette's POV
*next morning*
Marinette woke up to her alarm ringing VERY loudly in her ear. She bolted out of bed and ran to her closet. She opened it and picked out a pair of black leggings and a loose black t-shirt. She put on a pair of black converse and threw a black hoodie on. She brushed out her hair and decided to do a side braid instead of just letting it hang down like she normally did.
It was 7:15 so she had 15 more minutes until school started.(I don't know that actual time her school starts so imma just say 7:30) Marinette got Tikki and walked to school. She got to class and sat down waiting for the other students.
Alya's POV
Alya was at the front steps of the school waiting for Nino and Adrien. When they both arrived they walked into the class and saw Marinette already there, staring out the window with her head propped up on her hand.
Alya nudged the two boys and motioned to stay silent. Then she pointed to Marinette and mouthed "let's watch her to see what she does. She's a suspect for M so she might do something suspicious"
The boys nodded and watched Marinette. Soon the entire class was there, silent curtesy of Alya, watching the girl. Marinette looked over to see the entire class staring at her. She blinked. Once. Twice. Then she spoke.
Marinette's POV
"Why are all of you just staring at me like that?" She questioned.
They all stood up straighter, fumbling over words, trying to think of an excuse.
"We were, ah..."
"We were just, um..."
"You just looked so, so.. PEACEFUL! Peaceful yeah! And we uh..."
"We didn't want to disturb you! Yeah t-that's it!" They smiled nervously, sweat dripping down their backs.
Marinette lifted an eyebrow, not believing a word they said. They honestly sounded like her before she started dating Adrien, and before they all hated her.
"I don't believe you."
Adrien's POV
"I don't believe you."
Four words. Those four words struck fear into his heart, and into his friends hearts too. He knew that if she really was M and if she knew why they were watching her, they would end up like Alix. Maybe even worse than her.
Adrien watched as she narrowed her eyes at them.
"I don't believe you," She repeated, "but just don't do it again."
The entire class blew out breaths of air they hadn't known they were holding. They nodded and walked to their seats, not looking at Marinette for fear that she would find out if they made eye contact.
Adrien, however, was rooted to the spot, staring at Marinette for a reason unknown to him. He snapped out of his daze and walked to his seat when the bell rang and class started.
