The morning air was fresh. And it felt good on Marinette's headache. After the battle with the brainwashing Akuma yesterday, her thoughts were interrupted with a searing headache. And it wasn't just a headache. A butterfly flashed through her head several times. It annoyed her to pieces. What annoyed her even more was that she couldn't tell her mother or father because it could lead her to revealing her identity. The only soul she could tell was Tikki, who made her Ladybug. She sighed as she felt Tikki move in her purse. She had given Tikki a little blanket to keep warm, seeing as it was the heart of winter. Marinette tightened her scarf. She spotted Adrien. At that moment another image flashed through her head of Chat Noir. What was going on? She thought to herself. Adrien smiled at her and waved. Marinette froze up and plastered a large smile on her face. Alya walked over to her friend. "How's it going, girl?" Said Alya. "Okay I guess. Same as always!" She said, lying. "Good to know. Hey, did you see the new post on the Lady Blog?" Said Alya, getting out her phone. "Oh, uh… Y-yeah, totally!" Said Marinette, lying once again. "I'll show you anyway. It's Ladybug and Chat Noir escaping from a trash can! Here, I videoed it." Said Alya, pressing the play button. It showed herself and Chat Noir escaping from their trash bin prison. How come I don't remember doing that? "I feel sorry for Ladybug and Chat Noir. That's not a prison I would like to be trapped in!" Said Alya. "Y-yeah. Me e-either!" Said Marinette, her face flushing white. Could that be someone posing as me? Could this have been a perfectly edited video? Alya couldn't edit videos like that though.
Adrien walked into the classroom. He looked at Marinette who was busy on her school tablet. Instantly his head flashed with a picture of Ladybug. How come this happens whenever I look at Marinette? He thought. He sat down in his chair with a headache. He got out his school tablet and tablet pen. He began drawing pictures of Ladybug symbols and Ladybug's face. He looked at his drawing and a picture of Marinette flashed I his head. A moment after that a purple butterfly flashed in his head. He exited the drawing app and went to the writing app and began writing down what he saw in his mind. Whenever I look at Marinette, Ladybug shows up. Whenever I look at Ladybug, Marinette shows up. He was interrupted by the teacher picking partners for the project.
" Alya with Nino. Chloe with Sabrina. Ivan with Mylene. Rose with Juleka. Kim with Max. Alix with Nathanael. Marinette with Adrien." The teacher finished, writing the pairs down on her tablet. "Nice going, girl!" Said Alya to Marinette. "H-how will I survive!" Said Marinette, putting her head in her hands. "Just be yourself." Said Alya happily. "Okay. I will!" said Marinette. "Class dismissed." Said the teacher, turning to her tablet. Adrien walked over to Marinette. "Would you like to come to my house to- "Said Adrien. The figure of Ladybug flashed in his mind. The moment Marinette turned her head to look at Adrien the picture of Chat Noir flashed in her mind. "Uh, to work on the project." He continued. "Yeah. Sure." Said Marinette.
How will I be able to get through this project? They both thought.
