The School Lock-In

🏫Chapter Ten🏫

*With the class, playing Truth or Dare*
Juleka: *quietly* Truth
Rose: Ooooo! Is it true you love our friendship?!
Juleka: *Moves her hair a little, says quietly* Yes.
Rose: *Squeals* I love our friendship too! *Hugs her*
Marinette: *On her phone*
Adrien: *Staring at her*
Nino: *Waves his hand in front of Adrien* Dude...
Adrien: *Snaps out of it* Wha..what.
Nino: It's your turn.
Adrien: Oh.. ok... truth.
*Everyone except Marinette groans*
Adrien: What?
Alya: You always pick truth.
Kim: Come on, buddy, pick dare!
Max: I knew the possibilities of Adrien picking dare was 4.5033-
Kim: *Interrupts Max* Pick dare!
Everyone: *Starts chanting* Dare, dare, dare, dare...
Adrien: *Looks at Marinette*
Marinette: *Looking at everyone, laughing a little*
Adrien: Ok... dare.
Alya: Ok then, admit your feelings.
Marinette: Um, Alya, what are you—
Alya: Don't worry, Marinette.
Adrien: A..admit my feelings? Wh..who to?
Alya: That's for you to decide. Let's see, you've got Kagami, Lila—
Marinette: Alya!!!!
Alya: Oh that's right! Marinette too.
Kagami: *Looks at Adrien*
Adrien: *Looks at Kagami* I... uh...
Lila: Oh, Adrien, I'm flattered that you might have a thing for me.
Adrien: I..I actually don't have feelings for you, Lila.
Lila: Oh, that's ok, Adrien. *Says to herself* Ffs 🤦🏽‍♀️
Alya: So that leaves Kagami and Marinette. Who do you like then?
Marinette: Alya, stop!
Kagami: I feel uncomfortable about this.
Marinette: Kagami, I'm so sorry Alya dragged you into this.
Alya: I'm only helping!
Marinette: You're not helping at all! You're clearly pressuring him and it's making us all uncomfortable!
Adrien: *Sighs* I can't hide this anymore... *Stands up* I do have feelings for someone!
Everyone: *Gasps*
Marinette: *Looks at him*
Adrien: Kagami, I— I like you and everything and the time we spent together was really fun but I'm not sure I'm at that relationship stage with you yet.
Kagami: I understand.
Adrien: I know you wanna know where I was going every time I ran away from one of our dates. Well... I was...
Marinette: *Intterupts* He was seeing me!
Kagami: *Eyes widen* O..oh..
Luka: *Eyes widen* Huh?!
Marinette: Adrien, a word please. *Grabs his hand and they go into the locker room*
Nino: *Looks at Alya*
Alya: What?
Nino: I thought you said you was gonna stop.
Alya: I'm trying to help Marinette...
Nino: It's more like spilling the tea and the guests are Kagami and Luka.
Luka: Was Marinette seeing Adrien? While we were dating?
Lila: *Smirks*
Alya: Oh no... *Looks at Nino* What did I do?

*In the locker room*
Marinette: You almost revealed your secret identity!
Adrien: I'm sorry, I was under a lot of pressure!
Marinette: I'm gonna go back out there and speak to Alya! Something's clearly not right with her! *Goes to open the door, the door handle comes off*
Adrien: *Eyes widen*
Marinette: *Drops the handle* Or not... *Groans* I can't believe this! *Sits down on the bench, places her head in her hands*
Adrien: *Sighs, sits next to her* Mari, I.... I.... um...
Marinette: I'm sorry, Adrien. I'm just stressed about all this.
Adrien: I guess I shouldn't have told you about my identity.
Marinette: No, no no no. I'm glad you told me...
Adrien: You are?
Marinette: Yeah.... now you can help me...
Adrien: Is that the only thing you want from me?
Marinette: What do you mean?
Adrien: I.. I thought... you know, after finding out each other's identities and our feelings for each other...
Marinette: Ok... I see what you're saying. You think that now you know that I know you're Cat Noir, we can finally get together...
Adrien: So can we? I mean I've waited for you long enough since the first time we met as our superhero selves.
Marinette: Well, you're gonna have to wait even longer...
Adrien: O.oh?
Marinette: Now I'm the guardian, I don't have time for relationships.
Adrien: N..not if you're partner is Cat Noir...
Marinette: I...I don't know... look, when the time comes... I'll ask you.
Adrien: And I'll be ready for you. *Smiles at her*
Marinette: *Smiles back and hugs him*
Adrien: *Hugs back*
Marinette: *Pulls away* We should probably get out of here, right?
Adrien: On three...
Marinette: One...
Adrien: Two...
Marinette & Adrien: THREE! *Runs up to the door, banging really loud* WE'RE STUCK!!! HELP!!
*No one hears them as there is no one outside anymore*
Marinette: *Looks through the broken handle hole* It's dark, I can't see anyone.
Adrien: They must've gone to bed.
Marinette: Well, they'll need the toilet at some point.

*2 hours later, 1:56am*
Hawk Moth: *Climbs down the roof, looks around*
Marinette: *Asleep on Adrien's shoulder*
Adrien: *Turns his phone off and sees Marinette asleep in his shoulder, smiles. He lowers her down onto the bench, goes his locker and gets out a blanket, wraps it around her, he then kneels down and kisses her forehead then goes to the bathroom*
Hawk Moth: *Looking around the school* Where is everyone?! *Goes to the locker room door but it's stuck* Ugh... *Breaks it down*
Marinette: *Wakes up* AHHHH! *Sees Hawk Moth*
Hawk Moth: *Smirks*
*In the bathroom, Adrien is washing his hands. A distant scream can be heard*
Adrien: *Eyes widen* Marinette? *Runs out the bathroom*
Hawk Moth: *Holding Marinette, points his staff at Adrien* Stay where you are!
Adrien: HAWK MOTH LET HER GO!!
Hawk Moth: OR WHAT?!
Adrien: *Looks at Marinette* I'm sorry, Marinette...
Marinette: *Eyes widen* ADRIEN DON'T!
Adrien: PLAGG, CLAWS OUT!
