My New Old Friend

Ch 5: Jinxed 2.0

Marinettes POV

During chemistry people kept throwing crumpled papers at the back of my head which made it very difficult to focus on the lesson. I guess I'll have to get help from Adrien.

I gathered the little paper peices and threw them away at the end of class and walked back down to my locker and this time I had Alya Adrien and Nino by my side the entire time.

But sadly that didn't stop the bullying.

I heard a muffled cry from the girls bathroom and being the class representative I figured I should go help who ever was in the bathroom.

I walked in to see a group of girls surrounding some one in the center of the group.

"What's wrong?" I tried to get to the center to help the person in the middle, but the other girls wouldn't back away.

"What do you mean what's wrong?! Your the problem, Marinette !" One of the girls yelled at me. I didn't feel like dealing with Lila and her lies any more then I had to so I tried to leave them be in the bathroom.

But nope, apparently they wanted me to stay. They grabbed my arms a dragged me to the center of the circle where Lila sat on the little chair with tears in her eyes.

"Lila what happened?" I said trying to be nice and reaching out my hand to wipe the tears away. She flinched before I could touch her and the other girls came in front of her.

"If you ever touch or look at Lila then you will be very sorry." One of the taller girls spoke up.

"-nette Marinette Ma- oh here you are." It was Alya, my saving grace. She grabbed my arm and pulled me out if the group and out of the bathroom where Nino and Adrien were waiting outside.

"Oh thank goodness your ok." Said Adrien as he came up and hugged me.

"You scared us Dudette." Nino threw his arm over my shoulder and walked to our art class for the day.

This class wasn't any better then chemistry or english. It was way worse.

The paper balls kept coming and while I was trying to create a new design for the red carpet competition people kept coming up and knocking something onto my paper that I was drawing on.

At first it was just pencils and other things that were easy to clean off but then they started spilling open markers and paint and water or whatever they were drinking.

By the end of class my paper was soaking wet and none of my design had been made.

I went to my french class and yet again they were stopping me from completing any of the work.

I hurried out of the school and , up to my room ignoring my parents and threw my backpack on my bed.

I grabbed my backpack and went up to my balcony hoping that I would be able to focus on my work instead of the day that I just had.

I buckled down on my homework hoping to catch up on everything that I missed in class but the memories of the day kept coming back to me.

"Is something wrong, Princess?" I jumped from my seat looking up to see the one and only Chat Noir sitting on my balcony.

I didn't realize that I had been crying until then and quickly wiped away the tears.

"Ya, school is the problem." I said trying to keep my temper in check.

"What do you mean?" He hopped down from the railing and came and sat down next to me.

"Other students in my class destroyed my design for the gala, they kept throwing paper balls at me in all my classes so I have a lot of work to catch up on which means I probably won't have time to complete another design in the 2 weeks that we have left." I rambled on to my partner.

"Well I can help you with your homework so you can work on your design sooner." He kindly offered.

"Thanks Chat but I shouldn't push my work onto other people." I smiled softly as I pulled out my chemistry homework. I looked it over and none of it made any sense.

"Your not pushing anything onto me. I offered so let me help." He pulled the chemistry homework off my lap and looked it over and seemed to understand all of it.

"So what you want to do here..." He explained the homework and even helped me make sense of my notes. It took us a while but we did finished with only 10 minutes till patrol.

"Thanks Chat I really needed the help." I could have stayed there and talked with him for hours but we both had to meet up for patrol.

"No problem Marinette, maybe I could come over and help you out with your homework tomorrow?" He seemed nervous to ask but it  was a sweet gesture.

"Sure Chat I'll see you tomorrow." And he jumped off toward the eiffel tower.
