Determined not to lose Marinette, Adrien is ready to do whatever it takes to mend their friendship—and perhaps spark a little something more he knows is lingering between them. _______________________________
Moby Dick sat atop Adrien's paper-filled desk amongst the several other homework assignments that he needed to start, except he couldn't find it in himself to concentrate on schoolwork. He was too busy glaring at the worn-out hardback book that had Marinette's name scribbled on the inside of the cover. It just sat there, almost as if it were glaring back at him, as if it were capable of scrutinizing him, as if it was capable of judging him.
It'd taken Adrien a whole week to do it, but he'd done it. He'd read the entire story of Moby Dick... and he hated it.
He decided to glue the pages back onto the spine, only to convince himself he ought to read it if he wanted to understand Marinette better. But even after he was finished reading it, he still wasn't sure what Marinette liked so much about it. The entire book had been a drag—one hundred and thirty-five chapters to be exact—only for the action to finally take place at the end when Moby Dick finally sunk Ahab's ship... and that wasn't even the best part. The line of the harpoon wrapping around Ahab's neck and overall drowning him is what really granted Moby Dick his triumph.
Despite reading the story, however, there was still one question on Adrien's mind.
Why did Marinette refer to herself as Moby Dick?
Was it because she felt outcasted? Did she feel like others were constantly attacking her? If that was the case, was he Ahab? Was Ahab's harpoon piercing through Moby Dick's side an analogy to Adrien stabbing Marinette in the back?
If so, he needed to convince her that he was on her side, that he wasn't Ahab.
He tried to do so when he returned to school, and finding Marinette was much easier than he thought it'd be. Instead of eating her lunch in the empty library, he was genuinely surprised to find her actually eating in the lunchroom. She was still sitting in the back of the cafeteria, alone, but it was a surprise nonetheless. Marinette never ate in the lunchroom. Ever.
