Hello Good People of the Fanfiction world! I am not dead! Yay! I highly dislike mid terms and y'all have been so patient with me. Thank you :) it really means a lot.
I know some of you have asked for longer chapters so this one is slightly longer then normal for this story.d I am still learning and making my way up to the longer chapters. If any of you have read my other stories you will know that the chapters here compared to others are substantially larger then everything else. So I'm sorry if you want them longer I am working on it.
Also I am terribly sorry if my spelling is different from what you normally ready I may be american but ive been living in Australia for the past 7 years. I tend to switch inbetween spelling for different words and I apologise if there is any inconsistency between my spelling of words (such as colour and color). (I also just suck normally at spelling and grammar.)
Anyways on with the story.
As the weeks passed the new dorms were finished and Marinette was able to move into her own dorm and away from Adrian Agreste and Chloe Bourgeois. She finally settled into the school and has made a name for herself thats not 'scholarship kid'. She's grown as a designer and as a person. Her friend Courtney moved into the dorm across the hall and for Marinette everything seemed almost perfect.
Almost.
Since the talks with Chloe, the bluenette has gotten many guys some that she know and others she's never seen before come up and ask her out. Marinette's not ready for a boyfriend and refuses to accept any flower or chocolates they throw at her.
Its gotten to the point that she avoids any possible contact with any guys. She's become sick of them coming up and trying to win a date with her. The most interesting of the proposals happened this morning.
Marinette walked down the halls with Courtney on her way to study hall when a boy with red hair dropped his books on the ground right in front of her.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I'm so clumsy and really should watch where I'm going." He said picking up the papers that he dropped.
Mari being the kind, polite girl she is handed her text book to Courtney and bent down to help grab the last of the paper.
What she saw was not what she was expecting. On the paper was drawings, not just any drawings. Drawings of her. In all different scenarios, some weirder then others. This kid had draws of her sitting at a desk designing, sowing, dancing and even siting at the beach. One that really caught her eye was unfinished. She was standing on top of a building looking out into the distance. It was beautiful but uncalled for. How did he come up with these ideas and why were the drawings all about her?
"These drawings are really good." Marinette told the boy.
"Really? You think so?" He asked as the girl started nodding her head. 'I'm sorry they're all drawings of you but your really pretty and have the best expressions. When you stand up against chloe i think of you as some sort of super hero but i can't figure out what kind of superhero yet.
Whats your favourite animal?" He asked.
"I'm really faltered but do i know you?" Mari asked as politely as possible.
"I'm sorry, I'm Nathanaël Kurtzberg. I'm a visual arts student and one of Adrien's friend. Your really amazing and…" Nathanaël started rambling.
Marinette smiled at the red head. "Nathanaël, please tell me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you have feelings for me, however i am not ready to get Into a relationship and its unfair to you if it's only one sided. You seem like a great kid and one luckily girl would love to be yours and she's out there now however that girl is not me."
Nathanaël eyes widen as she talks and mari's afraid she over stepped until. "Your right, I'm sorry we don't even know each other and your still new to the school for all i know you could have a boyfriend that still goes to your old school. I'm sorry. Any guy would be lucky to have a girl like you." He tells her.
'Thank you for understanding Nathanaël, and for your information my favourite animal is the ladybug." The bluenette smiled at him before continuing her walk to study hall ignoring Courtney's attempts to get her to talk.
"Hey Mari, so you know how Nathanaël asked you out this morning?" Courtney asked.
"Yes"
"Did you really mean what you said about not being ready for any relationships?"
Marinette looked surprised, "Of course why would I lie about that?" She asked
"No reason just wondering, you do know that the winter formal is right around the corner aren't you going to get a date for the event?" Courtney looked at Mari with interest eagerly awaiting her answer.
"I don't know if I'll even go." Marinette replayed honestly, hanging her head.
Any passer by's could tell when Courtney was formulating a plan and when she was you stay as far away as possible.
"Right, this is whats happening. We're going to the formal. Dates or not, we are going."
"But…"
"No! No buts. Were going, no question. Your going to design our costumes and were going to have the most amount of fun ever."
Marinette rolled her eyes. "Whats the theme?"
"Masquerade" Courtney mumbles.
Marinette rolls her eyes and pulls out a sketch book and pencil before looking at Courtney and drawing 2 templates. On one of them she creates a long dress then she adds beautiful long feathers to the skirt. It's a peacock design, the perfect bird for a girl who loves the spotlight as much as Courtney.
For herself Marinette draws another full length dress. This time however rather then drawing feathers she draws spots onto it. A ladybug. The young designer choosing such a small bug and turned it into such a gorgeous design for her own dress.
Courtney watches over Marinette's shoulder as the design comes together. Little did the girls know a certain model and friends were watching them as well.
"Come on Adrien, you and I are the only ones without dates to this dance why don't we ask those two. There cute enough to go with guys like us." Felix Agreste commented.
"What is it with you? You judge girls by their look, what about their personality? This always happens, all the girls you point out are all hot but have the worst personality. Chloe is one of those people who have no personality what so ever but she has the looks and I'm sick of her. She acts like I'm her property and i hate it but she doesn't listen." Adrien says a little to loudly catching the attention of the girls.
Marinette shares a look with Courtney before getting up and goes to head out the room but in order to do so she had to walk past the group of guys.
While she passes by Felix grabs her by the waist and pulls her close. "Come on Adrien, look into those eyes and tell me she's not cute."
"What?" He asks.
Marinette struggles against her handler, but all he does is hold on to her harder and pushes her to the ground.
"Come on Adrien. I see it in your face every time you look at her. Just admit it." Felix grabs a hold of her face twisting it to look at Adrien.
Marinette struggles against him. "Let go of me!" She cries bringing Adrien back to reality.
"Felix! Let go of her." Adrien shouted at his cousin rushing forwards towards the girl only have Courtney grab a hold Felix screaming.
"You don't touch her Agreste and I am ashamed of you for treating her like this. She is a child and Felix you are a boneheaded moronic jock who needs to stop thinking about girls for a change and leave them alone. I don't know what you were trying to tell Adrien but physically harassing Marinette is not the way to do it." Courtney shoves Felix off of the girl and pulls her up off the ground.
Poor Adrien is still so confused about what happened just then, he had to ask Nathaniel. Who in response shook his head.
Down the hall the girls were walking, Courtney was trying to comfort the shaken up girl. "Its okay Mari they can't hurt you anymore and if they try I will personally kick their asses. That was entirely disrespectful and uncalled for on your behalf. I cant believe that Felix would stoop to such a level."
Marinette stayed silent hoping to erase the memory but with no luck she burst into tears after entering her dorm. They young designer did the only thing she knew what to do in order to get what happened off her mind.
She called Alya.
"Hey girl! Whats up? Hows school going?" Alya answered excited to hear from her best friend.
"Oh Alya, today was the worst. Felix Agreste harassed me and tried to get Adrien to admit something but he frozen and I couldn't escape. It was terrible and I miss you and Nino. I just want to come home." she cried.
"Im on my way, girl. Don't worry I will show them who their messing with." Alya said furiously.
"Just come get me, I don't want to see them." Marinette told her.
"Don't you have a dance to attend this weekend?" Alya asked.
"Oh yeah." The sadness in Marinette's voice very clear to her bestie.
"Never mind your taking the next two days off and coming to spend it with Nino and I. We'll have you back before Sunday night for the dance and if it makes you better, Nino and I will some how sneak in."
"Are you sure, I haven't even made mine and Courtney's dresses and if you and Nino come I'll need to make your outfits too."
"Just pack everything you need for tomorrow, Friday, and Saturday ready to come back for the dance Sunday night. Nino and I will be there in a few hours." The girl on the other end of the phone said.
"Thanks Alya."
"No problem this is what friends are for. Now go let one of you teachers know and we'll see you in a little bit."
Please dont be mad at me!
I know I made Felix mean but it is nessessary for future chapters and future character development for Adrien.
Anyways Love you all and will write soon, I'm on holidays! Yay!
