Sorry I haven't posted in awhile with writer block and stress from school, I couldn't really get much done other than my top prioritys but nevertheless my life finally calmed down enough for me to do some writing, so enjoy.
Chapter 5.
Apologetic Lies.
Mairnette quietly opens the door, being careful don't to disturb the teacher, seeing she was about thirty minutes late to class.
"Girl, where have you been, it's almost halfway through the class?"
"Sorry Ayla, I didn't sleep well and slept through my alarm."
"Of course you did, but make sure you meet me at break, we need to talk about the dance."
"Oh no" Marinette groaned, knowing only to well that this would not be good.
Mairnette and Ayla head out to the steps, near the entrance of the school and being their conversation.
"So what did you want to talk about?" Mairnette cautiously asked.
"Well a few things actually, first is, have you had time to get the material for the dresses or do we need to go get them later today?"
Mairnette relaxed a bit, it was something she had actually got done with so many things going on in her life.
"No, no it's all good, I have the fabrics and that. I've even started to cut yours out."
"Marinette, getting something done? Nver thought I'd see the day." Ayla giggled. She saw Mairnette wanting to say something back, but didn't get the chance.
"Hey Ayla, Mairnette."
"Nino, how nice of you to join us." Ayla sarcastically said. Nino frowned a bit before saying...
"Sorry Ayla, this time it was Adrien, the boy is so slow today, it's like he hasn't slept in weeks!"
Mairnette jumped in surprise and awkwardness as she heard a yawn come from behind her. Turning around in a hurry, she soon realised the yawn had come from a certain tall blonde in her class.
"Sorry Mairnette, didn't mean to scare you." Adrien managed to say in between yawns.
"It's.. uhhh.. it's alright.. it's good all.. I mean all good." Mairnette smiling awkwardly. Which confused Adrien even more, after the casual conversation with a Cat the other night.
"So what you two talking about?" Nino asked causally looking at both Ayla and Mairnette.
"We were talking about the dance and Mairnette actually being able to start something that isn't due the next day." Ayla laughed.
"That's right, Adrien told me that his old man said he can go." Nino smiled looking at his friend.
"Really? Well your gonna need a date. Mairnette? You up for the challenge?" Ayla smirked, not even wasting a second.
"Ayla!" Mairnette snapped. Adrien thought for a second while the girl were death starting each other. He thought of asking Mairnette, as friends as course but he also thought about the conversation the other night, about how she had feelings for someone and it might be awkward or she might want to go with... he had forgot to ask the boys name, somewhat annoyed, maybe he could've set them up?.
"I don't know Ayla, I heard Mairnette likes someone, I wouldn't want to intrude or interfere."
"WHAT!" Mairnette shreeked very loudly
"WHERE DID YOU HEAR THAT, WHO TOLD YOU, DID THEY SAY WHO IT WAS!" Mairnette questions falling out of her mouth, very very loudly I might add.
"Relax Mairnette, it's ok to have a crush, even if I knew who the guy was I wouldn't say anything." Adrien said in a comforting voice. Mairnette relaxed when she realised he didn't know who it was, but the question still remained, who told him?"
"Adrien, who told you about that?" Mairnette said without even one stutter. Adrien started to panic. He should've kept his mouth shut, what was he supposed to say? 'Well last night when you were talking to Cat Noir about it, that was actually me?" Nope that was not happening.
"Umm... I. Uhh..I'm friends with.. Cat Noir and he told me." Not knowing what else to say but still knowing he would regret saying that later.
"Dude your friends with Cat Noir?"
"What? How did I not know about this? Both of you have talked to Cat Noir and I haven't even got one interview."
But the sentence that came from Mairnette surprised him, it had nothing to do with how he knew him or if questioning his sentence but more along the lines of...
"Ugggghhh, one day I'm going to murder that damn alley cat."
"Murder?" Adrien said slightly panicked.
"Haha umm... I mean haha nope I meant umm.."'
The last class for the day had started and Mairnette was feeling a little down seeing Adrien had technically turned her down. Also not being able to check if that was the case before Adrien had to leave for a last minute photoshoot.
"Relax girl, I'm sure Adrien will ask you just give it time." Ayla said trying to cheer Mairnette up.
"Huh, highly unlikely, imagine Adrien going to such a event with you!" Chloe rudely interrupted Ayla's and Mairnette's conversation.
"Shut up Chole no one was talking to you." Ayla backfired.
"Well your talking to me now, aren't you?" A smug smirk came over the blondes face.
"Why! You little..."
"It's ok Alya, she probably right anyway." Mairnette sighed in defeat.
"Of course I'm right, I'm always right." The snobby girl flicked her hair and walked away.
"Don't listen to her Mairnette, she's just jealous that you have a chance and she doesn't." Ayla said still trying to encourage her friend.
"Ughh, I just want this day to be over and then I can distract myself by finishing your dresses." Mairnette rolling her eyes as she checked the time, this will be a long class.
She rushs home eager to try and finish the dresses with a week and a half to spare. Running up to her room, only with a quick hello to her parents. She had finished Ayla's dress around five o'clock that day and began to work on her own after dinner with her family. She had just completed the stitching on the back of the red and black fabric, she heard a few knocks from the trapdoor leading onto the balcony. There was only one person who could be up there at this time.
Cat Noir.
"Cat Noir, what are you doing here?" Mairnette said with obvious annoyance in her voice.
"I came to apologise, princess."
"Apologise?"Mairnette said as finished putting on her light grey dressing gown.
"Yes, apologise."Cat stated, backing away from the trapdoor as it was being lifted open by Mairnette. Cat watched her as she climbed onto the balcony along with him, a where of the slight anger in her stare.
"I came to apologise to you because I didn't realise that you went to the same class as Adrien, when I told him about our conversation and not that it makes it right I shouldn't of told anyone but I don't get to share much when I'm talking to Adrien because of the whole secret identity thing."Cat said with genuine regret in his voice. He heard Mairnette let out a sigh before saying.
"It's alight Cat, I get it but I'm just glad I didn't tell you his name."
"Why, princess?"
"Because...umm... Adrien know the guy I was talking about."
"I...I mean he does?"Cat Noir said with surprise.
"Yeah, he does."
"But I am truly sorry about it."
"It's real is ok Cat, but I probably should head inside, I need to finish a project."
"A project?"Cat asked, wondering why he hadn't heard about any school projects.
"Yeah, my school is having a dance in favour of Ladybug and Cat Noir ironically enough and I've been making my dress and I just finished making my best friends one." Mairnette said proudly as her mind flashed to her creations.
"Oh, you are making your own? You must be incredibly talented. Can I see?"
"Sorry Cat, but Ayla will kill me if she finds out I let someone else see her dress before her and mine isn't finished."
"You don't have to tell h..."Cat stopped his sentence as he saw Mairnette's eyebrow raise.
"Ok, ok I get it, I'll be off, hopefully I'll see you soon princess."Cat said as he bounced off onto the rooftop out of Mairnette view. Cat heard Mairnette's trapdoor close, also guessing she had been rolling her eyes at him, however found himself smiling at the thought.
Sorry this chapter was such a slow one and that there might be a few more mistakes as I didn't have anyone else read over it but I'll try and get out a new chapter soon as possible. Also the dance might happen either next chapter or the one after, but don't quote me on that. Till next time.
