Marinette looked around the choir room. Her future second family all sitting in the black chairs. They all looked so happy, and excited. She couldn't wait. She just knew this would be the place for her, and she searched for people she knew. The girl that sat in front of her in math was sitting by a girl with a blonde pixie cut. There was a short haired red head sitting next to a blonde who gave off a 'I'm better than you' attitude. Marinette was sure they'd be great friends.
Ha. Sarcasm.
A pair of hands covered her eyes from behind. "Guess who?" a voice whispered to her.
"I honestly have no idea, I just moved here, and don't know anybody. So how would I know who this is?"
"Ugh. Mari you're no fun. The point is to guess." Alya laughed and circled around to Marinette's front side. "Why didn't you tell me you were in the musical?"
"I mean I could say the same to you couldn't I? Also, Mari?" The raven haired teased.
"Isn't it cute? I figured since we were going to be bff's that I needed a cute nickname for you."
"Bffs?" Marinette smiled
"I mean, if you'd rather someone else be your bff," Alya teased turning her back on Marinette,
"No! I'm just surprised that you'd want to be bff's, we just met this morning."
"Guess you could call it a hunch, but I've got a good feeling about you." Marinette laughed.
"That's a good thing."
"Adrien is here too."
Marinette looked to where Alya was pointing. She saw him along with some others. "Who are those guys?"
"The one with the glasses is Nino, a total dork if you ask me. He's a great person though. Next to him is Brayden. I guess you could say he is my boyfriend." Alya blushed, a smile creeped up onto her face.
"Oh cute! How long have you been together?"
"Eight months, and four days. But I mean who is counting?"
Marinette giggled, "You like him a lot don't you?" Alya sighed.
"You could say that again."
Rehearsal went so fast. It was everything that Marinette thought it would be. She could feel herself fitting in perfectly. She just knew this was the place for her. She talked to Alya the entire time as she introduced her to the other students involved, and who would be playing the leads in our show.
Mrs. Marven had told us that our cast would be broken into families so we could be a little more organized. She was telling us about how most of the senior girls would be moms, and most of the sophomores would be daughters. The juniors would be mixed equally. Marinette couldn't imagine taking the role of a mother, she was so clumsy, and could in no way run a household, but she would definitely try.
After they had finished the first verse of choreography, they all sat down for a little bit of a break from the high energy time. It was time to have our families assigned. Marinette looked around as Mrs. Marven began calling names from the list in front of her. People were being paired up like it was Valentine's Day. Marinette noticed that Brayden had been paired up with the stuck up looking blonde from earlier. He smirked at her, and Marinette thought this was a little odd, but brushed it off.
"Alya Césaire"
Marinette patiently awaited hearing who her knew found bff would be partners with.
"And Adrien Agreste"
Marinette smiled, two of her new friends were partners. She couldn't wait to spend time with them.
"Marinette Dupain-Cheng"
Marinette looked up and smiled, she was excited. She only hoped that she'd be matched with someone who she would actually enjoy being around.
"And Nino Lahiffe"
Alya smiled, Mari was being partnered up with a sweet guy, Nino really was a great person. She knew the two would get along great.
The rest of the casts name were read off, Marinette and Nino had three children, two juniors and a sophomore. Alya and Adrien had two. Both were juniors.
The two families sat together. As Mrs. Marven pulled the cast together to have their final thoughts, Alya tapped Marinette on the shoulder.
"Mari, here is my number, just in case you need my help for anything."
Adrien ran over to the two girls. "Marinette! Why didn't you tell me you were in the musical?"
"I mean, it didn't exactly come up in our conversation earlier did it?"
"I guess you're right, but you still could've said something about it." Adrien agreed.
Marinette smiled. "Anyways you guys are partnered up! That's awesome."
"Yeah, I just kind of wished that I was matched with Brayden."
"C'mon Alya, you knew for a fact that you guys wouldn't be paired up. Mrs. Marven hates any signs of PDA, we don't need another talked like we constantly got last year." Adrien said
"I know, I was just hoping for it."
"Against PDA?" Marinette questioned
"According to Mrs. Marven, if you're going to be in a relationship, you shouldn't display it in public, and better yet, just don't have one when involved with choir and theatre, just because if the two of you were to break up, it would create a crack in the foundations of trust you've formed with your cast." Alya said with a frown
"I guess that makes sense." Marinette said trying to wrap her head around the situation.
"So don't get any funny idea's Marinette. Keep those bluebell eyes to yourself." Adrien winked.
Marinette noticed a boy in the back of the choir room, a guitar in his hand, and black hair with teal tips.
"Who is that?"
"Him? I don't know, he just moved here too."
"His name is Luka. A total weirdo. He seems a bit off if you ask me, seems a little rough around the edges."
Marinette glanced at him from the corner of her eye. He was cute.
Very cute.
Hey guys! Let me know what you think? This chapter was really hard for to write so I'm sorry it took so long. I know where I want this story to go, but I am having an extremely hard time with the opening chapters. Give me some constructive criticism. Please and thank you.
