It was time for Marinette to confess to Adrien, but the confession didn't go well like she was hoping for. Instead, he rejected her and that left her sad and mad. But what would happen Cat Noir find out who Ladybug is, Adrien would feel all types of...
During passing time, Marinette put her chemistry textbook in her locker and she got her French-English textbook and notebook.
Marinette: Okay. So for today, yes homework for Miss Bustier, no assignment for Ms. Mendeleiev, and one for Mr. Panama. I have 3 more classes left and after-school tutoring. *She closed her locker and what she didn't know was Adrien was next to her. *

Adrien: Marinette?
Marinette: Yes, Adrien?
Adrien: Listen, I wanna say I'm sorry that I rejected you when you said you were in love with me and I didn't see that from you.
Marinette: It's alright, Adrien. You were in your little fantasy with this "mysterious" girl you're in love with. Anyway, it's all in the past. I forgot all about it. *She walks to her next class and Adrien follows her. *
Adrien: I know, but I need your advice on something.
Marinette: About what?
Adrien: How do you handle being rejected? *They stopped at a drink machine, Marinette went in her purse, and got some money for bottled water. *

Marinette: (opening her purse) Why? Did she reject you?
Adrien: You... could say that.
Marinette: (putting a quarter in the machine and pressing the button) Well the best way to get over rejection is the seven stages of grief. *She gets her bottled water and Adrien gets bottled water too. *

Adrien: Seven Stages of Grief. What are they?
Marinette: Well... *They sit down on a bench and she gets her notebook and a pencil, she writes down the first stage. * Stage 1 is shock and denial.
Adrien: Shock and denial?
Marinette: It's a state of disbelief and numbed feelings. You'd be surprised at first and in straight-up denial.
Adrien: Okay. What's the next step?
Marinette: Stage 2: Pain and guilt. You'll feel hurt and you'll probably make other people's lives harder because of your feelings after being rejected.
Adrien: That can happen?
Marinette: Yeah.
Adrien: Okay. What's the next step?
Marinette: Stage 3: Anger and bargaining. You'll start lashing out at people because you're hurt. Then bargaining, you'll probably ask for extra portions.
Adrien: Hopefully that won't happen.
Marinette: Then stage 4: Depression. You'll feel all sad and moody, not sure how long it'll last to be all depressed.
Adrien: Okay. What's stage 5?
Marinette: The upward turn, when the anger and pain die down, you'll start to feel all calm and relaxed like nothing happened.
Adrien: Hmm. The upward turn. Okay.
Marinette: Then comes stage 6. You'll go through the reconstruction page. You start picking yourself up and slowly recover and work ahead of yourself.
Adrien: Okay. What's the last stage?
Marinette: The final stage is acceptance and hope. You'll feel a new possibility to find new love in your life once you accept that your previous life is out of your way.
Adrien: Thanks, Marinette. I needed that advice.

Plagg: Because you rejected her when she confessed to you.

Adrien: Yeah. I can't imagine a better friend than her. *He looked at the time on his phone. * I'm gonna be late. *He gets his backpack and walks to his next class. *
