She's Sunshine, She's Grace, She'll Punch You in the Face

Chapter 62: Letters

Damian had just put the car in park in his school parking lot. "You ready for your last day of school at GA?" He looked over to his girlfriend.

"As ready as I'll ever be." She nodded before opening up her door and making her way around to the front to wait for Damian.

Damian quickly shut off the car and got out, locking it once his door was shut. He met up with Marinette and grabbed the hand she held out for him. Without warning, she yanked on his arm and she reached for his hair. At the very last second, he grabbed her wrist before it made contact with his head.

"You almost got me." He admitted before kissing the hand that almost touched his hair.

"I'll get you before school ends." She reached up onto her tippy toes to kiss him. "Let's get going."

He slowly released her one hand and she gladly let it hang at her side while her other one was still intertwined with his.

"At least I'm keeping you on your toes." She joked as she dragged him to the school's front steps.

They could see the bus holding all of Marinette's classmates just now letting off all of its students. Alya was one of the first to step off and the second her eyes met with Mari's, she immediately ran to the bluenette.

"Marinette!" She hugged the girl tightly, causing Damian to let go of her hand. "I'm so sorry." She cried as she spoke in French.

"Hey, Alya." Marinette responded in French as the rest of her classmates watched with surprise. She gently patted Alya's back before speaking again. "It's okay."

Alya finally let go of the small girl and smiled down at her as she wiped tears out of her eyes. "I'm sorry I'm such a bitch." She laughed. "Thank you for continuing to always believe in the good in me."

Damian grabbed ahold of Marinette's hand again and gave Alya a dirty look. "I'm giving you one chance. Don't mess this up." He spoke in perfect French.

"Oh, right." Alya gave a sad smile to the billionaire. "I'm sorry to you too, Damian. I haven't showed you my best side. I promise to be a better person." She turned to the rest of the class who were watching this whole thing unfold with complete interest. "And I want to apologize to all of you too. I let my stubbornness get in the way of seeing the truth and that wasn't right. Lila's actions dragged me into a dark place and I lashed out at everybody instead of dealing with the problem at hand. I know I can be better than that and I'm sorry about everything I ever said or did to any of you."

Nino smiled at the girl and stepped up to give her a big hug. "There's that Alya I know and love. I've been waiting for her."

Rose could be heard cooing at the whole interaction. "How cute! I love happy endings."

Alya pulled away from Nino to look at the tiny blonde. "No. This is not an ending. This is a beginning. I will set all this right, starting with all the lies I spread on the Ladyblog. I made some mistakes and I intend to fix it."

"I'm proud of you Alya." Madame Mendeleiev smiled. "You showed real courage doing this today and I hope nobody harbors any bad feelings about any of this. I believe its best to learn, grow and move on together from this whole mess." She looked at the class for a moment before clearing her throat. "Okay class. We better hurry to our classroom. We wouldn't want to be late."

Everyone followed Madame Mendeleiev to class while chatting amongst themselves.

"Sorry to be so blunt but... what the hell happened to your face?" Chloe asked.

"Yeah, I was thinking the same thing girl." Alya looked over at her. "I just felt like it wasn't right to point it out."

"Oh, I fell." Marinette smiled awkwardly.
