It was around ten in the morning, and I was busy sketching a design. While sitting in my chaise Tikki was sleeping on the pillow on top of my bed.
"Marinette can you come down here please," Papa said as half his body appeared above the trapdoor that led to my room.
"Yeah, I'll be down there in a minute" nodding he closed the door. Sighing I closed the sketchbook and made my way down the trapdoor, stairs walking into the dining room. Both of my parents were sitting at the table, walking over to join them I could sense the tension between them. Taking a seat Maman didn't even look at me just stared at her cup of tea.
"So, I guess this is about my suspension, huh?" Given the fact that I was only on day three, we had yet to sit down and discuss what my punishment would be.
"Yes, your mother and I just don't fully understand wh-."
"What were you doing stealing from other people? Your father and I go beyond to make sure you have everything you need, and yet you choose to get suspended!" She cried still was not looking at me.
'It is not like I had any choice.'
"But Maman I-I didn't go anything." Reaching out to touch her hand "I am being falsely acc-." She jerked away, almost spilling her cup. Turning to look at Papa I could tell he was exhausted.
"That's enough Marinette, your mother and I think it's best if you help out in the bakery."
"Oh, but I already help out Papa." Every Saturday I helped them out in the bakery.
"Well yes, but we think that you can help out even more. So, starting next week you will be waking up with me to start preparing the bakery. Four o'clock every morning you will help bake, clean, and display the pastries." Looking at Maman as she continued to stare down at her cup I agreed to their conditions.
"Papa would it be okay for Adrien Agreste to come over to help with my homework, assignments. So, then you and Maman wouldn't have to worry about going to the school this week."
"Sabine, what do you think?" she turned to look at him and nodded.
"As long as you study in the dining room," she said.
"Will do, I appreciate this so much, thank you."

Throughout the day I was busy restocking napkins and frosting cookies. Washing dishes and avoiding the cold stares that my Maman gave me. Eventually, Papa had let me take a break, having not slept the night before due to patrol, and getting up at four in the morning was taking a toll. Grabbing three cookies, I headed up to the living room to take a quick nap. Surprisingly Tikki was already in the room and was watching TV. It looked like she was watching a romance movie.
"Wow and I thought you were bad at telling Adrien how you feel. This man can't even tell the woman he loves that he's moving across the ocean to be with another woman."
"Tikki what exactly are you watching," I asked sitting next to her on the couch. She grabbed a cookie and pointed towards the TV in frustration. Shifting deeper into the cushion I could feel myself slowly falling asleep.

"Marinette?"
"Five more minutes Papa" burying my face deeper into a pillow.
"It's going to take more than five minutes to cover everything for the upcoming chemistry test."
Chemistry?
