Miraculous: The Next Guardian (Book 2)

Perfect day (part 2)

Another day in Paris. The sun had risen. The alarm had woken Marinette up at 7. She pressed the snooze button.

Marinette got up from her bed after a few minutes. She felt a sudden surge of energy and vitality.

"I don't remember getting enough sleep last night. This feels....... good!" She looked up and found anxious Tikki floating in circles." What's wrong Tikki?"

"I don't know, something isn't right." As Tikki did that Marinette paused to think about what her Kwami said. She took a glance at the clock. She is pretty early which is weird. She cleared her mind for now. She needed to be ready for school.

                               ~•~

The young designer went downstairs and found her mother in the kitchen making breakfast.

"Oh, good morning sweetheart. I made you your favourite,"

"Thanks, but I will just take a croissant from dad at the bakery."

"No need to, here" She gave her a sack full of croissants. Marinette gladly took it.

"Thanks, mom." She kissed her cheek, then went downstairs to the bakery. There she found her dad.

"Morning papa." She said.

"Good morning Marinette, did you have breakfast yet?"

"Yeah, mom just gave me a sack of croissants."

"Good, have a great day."

"Bye papa." She opened the door and headed for school.

                            ~•~

She arrived at school. She usually meets Alya outside. But this time Alya isn't around. She proceeded to head to class. There she found Alya and the rest of her friends.

"I see you were so busy that you didn't wait for me outside even though I'm early," Marinette said as she took a seat beside her best friend.

"Oh sorry about that. I was just checking my blog when I saw Nino and we walked together to class."

"I hope you didn't write about me in your blog." Alya blinked twice as Marinette winked at her.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Marinette trusted Alya with her secret, hopefully, one day she could tell Adrien too. What Marinette didn't notice is that Alya didn't know what she was talking about, for real.

The class went quiet when Miss Bustier came in.

"Good morning class," she greeted.

"Good morning Miss Bustier." The class greeted back.

           
                            ~•~

Several classes had passed. Marinette and Alya were chatting while having lunch. The weird thing Marinette noticed is that Alya is acting weird. She always pretends not to know about Marinette's secret. Which at first made Marinette happy that Alya wouldn't talk about it at school so no one could hear her even by mistake. But now, either Alya is playing dumb, or her memories got erased.

"Ok, what is wrong with you? I need your help figuring out who Hawkmoth is. All you say is that Ladybug and Chat Noir will do this, it's their job." Marinette whisper yelled.

"Why would you even bother? It's their job, not ours." Alpha defended. Now, something is wrong. They were interrupted by someone who approached them. It surprised Marinette even more.

"Hi Marinette, I just wanted to say that I will never bother you again, I will be leaving Paris this week, and I'm sorry for everything I did" Lila Rossi stood in front of them, apologising to Marinette. The heroine couldn't believe what was happening. Lila smiled then left.
