Chapter 2 - Awkwardness
Normal POV
Marinette was still in her room with Chat Noir. Chat was waiting for her answer.
"He's a boy in my class - he sits in front of me." said Marinette
Her cheeks felt red and she could hear her heart beating really fast. But her's wasn't the only one which was beating. Chat looked at her, wide-eyed, and hoped it would be someone else like Nino.
Slowly he asked, "Ww-what's his name?"
"Adrien..." she replied.
Chat didn't know what to say. He was shocked by her words.
Adrien/Chat POV
That's why she never spoke to me properly. That's why her cheeks go pink when she sees me. But I can't...I can't break her heart. She's my friend. I love Ladybug. How do I tell Marinette that my heart belongs to someone else.
Marinette POV
I wonder what Chat must be thinking. He looks distracted. I wonder if he knows I'm Ladybug and he got heartbroken by my words. No, he can't know, can he? I tried calling out to him but he said nothing. Why isn't he saying anything. It's scaring me. Please Chat, say something! Then alas he spoke.
"Princess, I got to go."
Already, but he just came. There's got to be a reason behind this.
"Why?" I asked.
"My Miraculous is running out" He replied
Lie. He lied to me. I knew it didn't because it didn't beep. I have one of my own. There was definitely something wrong with Chat. He looked worried right after I told him that I had a crush on Adrien. No it can't be. He didn't fall in love with me, the Marinette me? But before I could say anything, he left.
"WAIT!" I shouted. But he went.
That's when I heard Tikki's voice, "Marinette, I don't think you should worry about this at the moment, you still have homework to complete."
So I finished my homework and went to sleep. But I didn't sleep. I just couldn't forget about Chat's reaction.
Adrien POV
I de-transformed and sat on my bed. How did I not realise it before? Marinette must think I'm a dork for running away like that. I could hear Plagg moaning about wanting some cheese but I ignored it.
"Oh come on, Adrien, don't be upset, just go to sleep but before that GIVE ME SOME CAMEMBERT!" shouted Plagg.
So I gave Plagg some cheese and went to sleep. Deep Sleep.
Normal POV
The next morning, Alya, Nino and Adrien were sitting in their seats. Alya and Nino looked at Marinette's seat and wondered she was. But that wasn't their only concern. Adrien's face looked like he was going to scream. Both of them knew Adrien's expression and Marinette's absence were linked. Then the door slowly opened. It was Marinette. But she didn't look herself. She had bags under her eyes and looked like she was going to pass out. All night she thought about the situation with her and Chat Noir. She regretted telling him. Adrien looked at her and knew why she was like this. Meanwhile, Alya and Nino looked at her wide-eyed.
"M-marinette?" said Alya
"Y-yeah?" said Marinette
"What happened?" she asked
"I.. I had a nightmare." Marinette replied.
Miss Bustier came in.
"Alright, class, today we are going to put you in groups of fours - Firstly, Chloe, Sabrina, Kim and Max. Then Juleka, Ivan, Rose and Mylene. Lastly, Alya, Nino, Marinette and Adrien. Alright the project is you have to design your own version of Ladybug and Chat Noir's costumes."
Alya, Nino, Marinette and Adrien got together. Marinette wondered why Adrien wasn't talking to her. Every Adrien looked at Marinette and kept on thinking about the words she said that night. The bell rang and they all had break time.
Adrien went up to Marinette.
"Marinette, I need to speak to you about something,"
"Y-yes, Adrien?" said Marinette
Yes I know I'm evil but that's all I could give, people are coming round so I have to clean my room. Wait for the next chapter. Cliffhanger. Follow and review please. Hope you liked this chapter (even though it's short and boring again). Can't wait to write the next chapter, give me ideas for the next chapter in the reviews!
