Earthquake

Chapter 8 - From behind her she heard a whistle of admiration

Marinette woke up the next morning in a pretty good mood. Or at least until she looked at the clock. Lessons were starting in fifteen minutes. Yesterday evening, they agreed that the next day they will go to school. They also had to take care of Drach, who didn't finish his education, yet.

She jumped out of bed and, not caring about stomping on her boyfriend, went to the bathroom, on the way bumping into the desk, on which Kwami were sleeping. There erupted an explosion, which spread through the entire room a purple smoke of an unknown origin, making her cough, and then Adrien.

I hope that it's not poisonous.

'Me too,' the blond coughed out, went to the window and opened it wide to ventilate it a little.

Wait, what?

'What do you mean?' he looked at her questioningly.

I want to go back to bed.

'We have lesson in twelve minutes, no bed,' she said, noticing that the room was empty. This two gawks didn't wake them up!

Did I said it out loud?

Something clearly wasn't right. She slowly looked at the waking Kwami.

It's interesting, what she's thinking about so hard. Once I told her that she looks like an angry hamster when she's doing that?

'Excuse me?! Angry hamster?!'

'I didn't said anything like that!' the boy lifted his hands in a guarding manner.

But I thought.

'Exactly! You thou... ght, o shit! Think about something!'

'What about?' a stupid look on his face was showing an absolute misunderstanding of the situation.

'About anything.'

Easy to say. "About anything". It's too early to think.

'I see!' the girl called in triumph, pointing her finger at him. 'It's never too early to think. Do you know what this means? I can hear your thoughts. Taking into consideration that you answered my questions twice, despite me not saying them out loud, and you answered mine too.'

'What? But how?'

'Probably, because that I bumped into sleeping Hope. Her magic is still not stable,' she grabbed her hair.

I had to give us more thing to worry about, as always!

What worries? It's great! Do you know how easily it'll be for us to write tests with this?

She laughed happily, thanking for such a wonderful boyfriend, however, after a second, she remembered something.

'We have not even seven minutes to run to class!' she screamed, jumped to her wardrobe and then dissappeared in the bathroom. 'You're changing downstairs!'

The greeting that they got from their classmates, and also from their teacher, made them feel awful while thinking about this two months of "holidays" that Drach made them. They had to give Alya a sedative, because she couldn't stop crying, apologizing and threaten them, at the same time. However, Nino, without unnecessary words, hugged his friend and let him go just when blood stopped flowing to his arms. The only person who wasn't happy to see them, was Chloe who, of course, made a scene by hanging onto Adrien, however when he managed to take her off of him and gently told her that he does not want this behaviour, she went back to her desk and stopped caring about them.
