Promise Me Chaton ~ Miraculous Fanfic

ADRIEN'S POV

I overheard Alya telling Miss Bustier Marinette was in the bathroom and that was 12 minutes ago. I feel so guilty because I knew the exact reason she was there, me. I was trying to do my work but it was so hard to focus when I knew Marinette was in the bathroom crying. She needed me; Chat Noir. It's ironic that the one person she needs is the one person that broke her.

"Missss.. I need to go to the bathroom." Chloe said very sassily. That's weird. I remember the time we were talking when we were younger, maybe 11, and she was telling me about school. She said she had never ever stepped into a school bathroom and never will in her whole life. No exceptions. I guess it must've been important.

The door creaked open and I thought it would be Marinette but it was Chloe coming back from the bathroom. Three minutes later the door opened and it was her. Our eyes locked and it felt like time stopped. All I could see was the hurt hiding under her eyes and tears started forming and that's when we both broke eye contact.

"Uhm sorry." She said to Miss Bustier before quickly running to her seat. It was taking everything in me to not pretend to look back and see how she was doing. I tried so hard to ignore it but I couldn't. This class was going to be so long.

We all looked up as there was a knock on the door. "Sorry to interrupt but please welcome your new classmate Kagami Tsurugi! Please make her feel welcome." Said Mr. Damocles. No fucking way. Thank god Nino was beside me but out of all the weeks she had to transfer today? I know she was thinking about attending actual school but why? Did she feel like she affected no one because of what she did?

"Okay let's change the seating plan!" Miss Bustier said while clapping her hands to get all the students' attention. There were lots of 'awww's' and 'ughhh's' and I looked back to see Marinette's head hidden in her arms.

"Are all of us getting switched?" Alya asked.

"Yes, all of you are getting a new desk mate. Don't you want to switch it up a bit?" She replied. Absolutely not. But no one wanted to disobey Miss Bustier so we all stood up and everyone started moving. Only Chloe and Sabrina stayed seated because of some "learning disability." Honestly Chloe probably threatened Miss Bustier with her dad again. Lila sat beside Max (poor Max), Julkea with Alix, Rose with Kim, Meylene with Ivan, Alya with Nino and soon only Marinette, Nathaniel, Kagami, and I stood at the front of the class, waiting to be seated.

Truthfully, I wanted to be with Marinette. Nathaniel said "I want to sit alone. I work better like this," and just took a seat by himself.

"Hmmmm," Miss Bustier started saying as she was looking at the three of us when her eyes suddenly landed on Marinette.

"Marinette you get to pick who you want to sit with!" Miss Bustier said. How was she supposed to pick? She couldn't even look either of us in the eye-

"A- Adrien." She mumbled. What? I thought she hated me.

"Okay then! Marinette, Adrien, take your seats here." She said, pointing to the seats in the third row on the left side. We both took our seats, her still unable to look me in the eyes. I needed to talk to her but I couldn't just interrupt Miss Bustier.

"Who's excited for a project!" Miss Bustier said with energy while all of us groaned.

"Say hello to your neighbours, they will be your partner!" She said. Marinette was twirling her pencil in the air, still refusing to look at me.

"This is a drama project that you must participate in. It counts for half of your grade so do it well!" Miss Bustier explained. Hopefully we got an easy scene, like a police giving someone a ticket or something.

"One of you has to come up and pick a stick! This will determine your scene." I looked at Marinette and finally asked, "Do you want to go up? Or should I?"

"Mhm.." Was all she said. What did that even mean? I just assumed that she wanted me to go so I stood up and went to the front. I stuck my hand into the jar of popsicle sticks and heard Meylene say, "Ivan we got the breakup scene!" I thought these were going to be comedy scenes. The wooden popsicle I picked was in my hand and it said, "dramatic love scene." LOVE SCENE?? NO WAY.

"Adrien, which one did you get?" Nino asked but regretted when he saw the look Alya gave him. I showed him the words on my popsicle stick and he gasped and nodded. Then he whispered into Alya's ear and her eyes lit up.

"What did you get?" I asked Nino.

"Police scene." He said. This thing was so rigged. I wanted the police scene!

"Oh. That's cool." I told him, trying to hide my jealousy as I walked back to my desk to tell Marinette what our scene was.

"Dramatic love scene." I said, scared for her reaction.

"Of course." Was all she said. There was no actual specific scene we had to do so we could make it up.

"When you have your scene please come up so I can tell you exactly what you should be doing! It was too much to write on a popsicle stick." Miss Bustier mentioned while laughing.

"I'll go," Marinette told me. I nodded and waited for her to come back to tell me our scene. I was watching her face drop when she took the paper and read it. Oh no. What did that mean? She walked back up and took her seat, handing me the paper. I was reading it and my reaction was similar to hers.

"Person 1 just found out person 2 cheated on them. Perform a scene showing they can stick together through anything because of their love for each other."

"This scene is stupid. Why would I-, I mean person 1 forgive person 2 for cheating on them? This isn't practical love. Person 1 should never forgive person 2. Also why would they stick together? Person 2 did the worst thing anyone could do to anyone and if they really loved each other, person 2 wouldn't have done that." Marinette explained. I knew she was no longer talking about the scene and she was now talking about us but I chose to agree.

"Okay, once you've got your scene ready you can start practicing!" Miss Bustier repeated. The class was filled with sound in seconds and I asked Marinette which person she wanted to be.

"Person 1 I guess. You know, since I can relate." Ouch.

"Oh okay. I'll be person 2 then." I replied. We started writing our lines on a document and we both knew this was getting a little too realistic.
