If She Was Evil

Chap 8

Cat Noir turned a corner and made sure no one was around to see him.

"Plagg! Claws in!" Plagg landed on Adrien's shoulder. "What do you say we go get something to eat?" Plagg cheered. He flew into Adrien's pocket. They walked to Francais Cafe.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Marinette and Tikki were both starving so their stomachs started growling. Marientte quickly walked into the cafe and bumped hard into someone, knocking herself down.

"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Marinette apologized.

"You're good. Here let me help you up." Marinette looked up at the boy. She was staring into two beautiful emerald green eyes. The boy watched her beautiful bluebell eyes, and they just stared for a while.

The boy's hand was extended and Marientte grabbed it. "I- uh sorry, again." The boy smiled. "Like I said, you're fine. Can I get you something?"

"Oh- uh, sure," Marinette squeaked.

((Have you guessed who the boy is yet? ;P))

"I'm Adrien, by the way," the boy said. Adrien..."Ah! Oh! Um, I'm M-M-Marientte!" Marinette face-palmed. Why was she stuttering?

They went up to the counter and ordered 1 coffee, 1 water, and two cheesy-egg sandwiches.

Marinette left for the bathroom and Adrien thought for a moment. He knew he recognized her, but from where? Plagg answered his thought.

"It's the girl you bumped into earlier this morning," Plagg said as if it was obvious.

"You're right, Plagg!" Adrien exclaimed. "I know I am," Plagg responded lazily. Marinette came back from the bathroom and sat down.

"So, are you new here?" Adrien asked.

"Oh, I'm...I mean I...well I guess you could say I am." Marinette chuckled. "Do you have any siblings?" Marinette asked Adrien.

"No, I'm an only child. My parents died in a car crash when I was 3. What about you, do you have a family?" Marinette looked down at her hands/

"Well...I learned yesterday that I actually have parents..." Marinette's voice trailed off. Seeing the pain in her face and hearing it in her voice made Adrien change the topic.

"What do you think of the city so far?"

"It's nice. I've been here before though."

"What do you think of the superhero Cat Noir? You've heard of him?"

Marinette snorted. "PLEASE, that guy's a coward."

"No, he's not."

"Yeah, he is."

Adrien squinted his eyes at her. "He's respected."

"Why so defensive?" Marinette smirked. "Are you IN LOVE with him??" Adrien's eyes widened. "NO! Of course not! That's absurd!"

"Oooo we're using big words now, are we?"

They both burst out laughing. They continued to talk for another two hours.

Finally, Marinette said, "I should probably go, nice meeting you Adrien."

"You too Marinette."

Marinette left the cafe with a huge smile on her face. Tikki smirked. "You sure are happy." Marinette blushed. "Well, yeah. Tikki, do you realize this? It's my first friend that WASN'T a crimianl. Well, that we know of. And I think he's my friend. BUT-"

"I get it Marinette," Tikki giggled, cutting her off.

"Tikki," Marinette said suddenly, coming to a halt. "I know what I'm going to do! Tikki! Spots On!! ((no one saw))" Ladybug took Marinette's place and took off.

Adrien kept thinking about the girl. Marinette Dupain-Cheng... a lightbulb went of in his head. He was going to find her parents.
