The Luckiest: Cat Noir/Adrien Agreste x OC [Haitus]

Lady Wifi

"Shoot!"
I whisper under my breath.
Because of an akuma, I missed half of school. Again. I also didn't get the chance to talk to Adrien today either.

I jump roof to roof , swinging across Paris and bouncing off walls until reach a billboard and detransformm behind it.

"Time flies fast when you're saving the world. Day's already over!" Tikki said from in my purse.
"Tell me about it. I missed an entire half day of school AND half day of seeing Adrien!"  I frown.
"Whoever's behind all of this sure is keeping us on our toes!" Tikki says with the cutest pout.
I giggle. "You don't have any toes!"

As I make it to the bakery, I notice mom standing at the register. Shoot! Hopefully she doesn't to scold me for this.
"Alya brought your school bag home for you, Marie."
"Hey mom..." I say.
"You seem so forgetful these days. Are you alright? You've also been very tired lately." "Don't worry mom, I'm okay!" I assure her. I probably just need more exercise!" "That's a great idea dear! Maybe you should go on some runs with your father! I'm sure he'd love that!" "You're right mama, I'll ask I'm when he gets home." I kiss her on the cheek. "I'll be upstairs doing my homework." "Sure thing sweetie." My mom says as she begins to count the money in the register.

I greet my siblings as I walk into our apartment and make my way to my room.
I sigh as I plop down on my desk chair. Homework time. Fun.
"Ladybug saved Paris from destruction once again, but who's gonna save Marinette from her homework?" I take my tablet out of my bag and set it on my table. I after placing my bag down, I notice a sticky note on my tablet. "What's this? Call me. I know who the real Ladybug is?" I read. Tikki gives a concerned look.
"No way! You think she knows?"
"I doubt it. Alya's always jumping to conclusions before she has her facts straight. Remember the time she thought Nathaniel was Cat Noir?"
Tikki giggles. "I remember,but... just in case.."
"No worries Tikki. I'll call her and see who suspects this time." I giggle.

I try to call Alya, but the signal went out.
"Dang. No signal."
I take my phone to the balcony to see if there is any signal, and notice a man working on the cell tower.
"Sorry, miss. Cell tower maintenance. The whole neighborhood's down. No signal for the next hour!" I nod understandingly.
"Come on, Marie". Tikki nudges me. "Try again later. Let's head down and finish your homework." I sigh and make my way up to my room to work on my missing assignments.

The next morning I wake up with my face stuck to my tablet. I yawn and stretch as Tikki wakes up as well. "I must've dozed off while I was doing my homework." I rub my eyes. "Uh... what time is it?" My kwami asks.
"Uhh, school starts in..." I check the time on my phone. "An hour ago?!" I panic. I'm late to school again! I run around my room, rushing to get ready. "Ugh I can't believe I'm late again...It's surprising I haven't gotten detention yet." Tikki flies around me. "It's okay, you were really tired and stood up all night to get your work done." "Yeah, but I'm constantly late." I sigh while packing my backpack. Tikki hugs my cheek. "Don't worry Marie, it's not your fault." I smile and tickle her. "Thanks Tikki!"

As I make to the classroom, I peak through the door.
As Ms. Bustier turns her back, I take my chance to tiptoe and sneak to my desk. As I sit down, I notice the empty spot where Alya normally sits. I reach over and tap Nino. "Where is she?"
"She's been suspended..."
"What?!" I say as I stand up in shock.
"Marie, if you're going to come late, would you please do it discretely?"
"Sorry..." I apologize and sit back down. "What happened to her?" I whisper to Nino.
"The short story? Accused of breaking into Chloé's locker. I mean, Ladybug's locker..."

"Suspended?? Why did she- and why does she think Chloé out of all people, is Ladybug?" He laughs. "I know right, Chloé isn't capable of being a nice superhero."
"Chloé is Ladybug?" Adrien says confused
"Exactly what I said, bro. Alya says Chloé is Ladybug! She is crazy!"
Adrien looks over Chloé and she winks at him. Confused he turns to his tablet.
"I'm going to go talk to Mr.Damocles." I say to the boys. "Ms. Bustier, may I be excused. I need to use the restroom." The teacher nods.
