A Jasonette Ending: My Story

Chapter 3 - Something's Off

Damian's POV

I entered my classroom and to my surprise, Dupain-Cheng wasn't here. And as much as it pains me to say it, she's always here before me. "Damian?" I flinched as I heard my name being called behind me. I looked back and saw Marinette with a brow raised. "Well don't just stand in front of the door, you'll be blocking your fellow classmates." she said. I rolled my eyes and led us to our seats.

"Why were you late?" I questioned her. She hummed while taking out her things for the first class. "Just slept in a little. Don't know how that happened. But yeah." she answered. Something seemed off about Dupain-Cheng today. The bell rang and the first period commenced. All throughout the first three classes we had, my desk partner seemed distant and kept looking out the window.

"Hey, the teacher is at the front of the class, not out the window." I sarcastically reminded her. She giggled, "I know. I was just thinking to myself, kinda got distracted." She then looked at the board and began to write. Something was definitely off about her. Recess came and she was the first to leave the classroom and go on her way. What the.. So I just put my things away and left the following behind her.

I trailed her up the stairs and stopped once I saw her enter the library. "Whatcha doin', Lil' D?" I flinched then turned around to see Grayson behind me. "You idiot, don't do that or I might punch you in the face." He chuckled, "So, why are you here? Did you come to visit me?" I rolled my eyes at his smirking face. I shook my head, "Believe it or not, I'm in pursuit of Dupain-Cheng."

He raised a brow, "Why are you following Blueberry?" I groaned. "Because she's acting strange. I can't explain it." "Hey guys, what are you doing up here?" "Demon spawn, are you in trouble too or..?" We both looked back to see the other two idiots behind us. "Ugh! Never a moment of peace is there?" I cursed. "Lil' D is following Blueberry." Todd glared at me, "What's the problem, demon spawn? Do you have something against her?"

I facepalmed and just went to the library by myself and left those idiots behind me. I slipped in and looked around until I finally found her sitting at a table to the back. She then got up and I was quick to hide behind one of the bookshelves. But when I checked on her again, she wasn't there. "What are you doing, Damian?" I jumped to my right and saw Marinette behind me on my left.

Marinette: Following me, are we?

Damian: Tt, only because you were acting weird, Dupain-Cheng.

Marinette: Hmm, define weird.

Damian: Ugh..nevermind.

Marinette: If you must know, I'm planning a little something for my guardian's birthday that is coming up next weekend.

Damian: You mean Mr. Fu?

Marinette: Yeah, I've just been really excited, that's all.

Jason: Well gee Mari, you could've told us.

Tim: I think it's concerning that we all still didn't know and we've been friends with Marinette for what, a little more than three years.

Dick: Our bad, Blueberry.

Marinette: *giggles* It's fine boys.

Jason: Then, why don't we help with the preparations for your little something?

Marinette: Oh no, I couldn't. It's honestly fine guys...

Tim: Cupcake, please, let us help you.

Damian: Tt, you're stubborn just like Gordon is sometimes.

Marinette: Alright, alright. You guys can help me.

Dick: How old will he be? If you don't mind me asking.

Marinette: 187.

Batboys: 187!!

Librarian: Shh! Quiet down in the back please!!

Marinette: U-Uhh, wh-what I mean is..- 87! Yeah. I was just watching a cool show and one of the c-characters was that old. Haha...coincidence, huh.

Tim: Um, sure, Cupcake. Well let us know, k.

She nodded and the annoyances and I left her while she was packing away some of her things. *sighs* I still feel like something's off with her. Ever since Todd introduced her to us...well more like begged us to help her. Todd brought her home during the time he had basketball practice back when we were in Gotham Elementary. There was blood running from her nose and a stab wound in her stomach.

We still don't even know what happened to her. And to be honest, I still don't trust her. There's something she's hiding but I just can't find out what.

The day came to an end but Todd came out of the school without Dupain-Cheng. "She said she wants to walk today." I stared at him. "What, you want her to come along with us, demon spawn?" He smirked. I pushed his face away with a smack of my hand, "Shut it, Todd." "Aww, demon. That's so nice of you." I pounced on Drake and held him in a neck lock before we entered the limo. "Hey you two, settle down. Damian let him go!" Grayson ordered.

"Tt, you got lucky, Drake. You won't be next time. I suggest you sleep tonight with one eye open." He flinched. "If possible." I finished with a grin as I got into the limo first. Grayson sat next to me while the other two idiots opposite us. We left and headed over to the Manor to find Father now coming out from his car. The limo pulled up next to him and we got out and walked over to Father.

"Boys, we were just invited to a Gala next weekend. You are all free to bring one plus one to the Gala."
