Hey everyone so sorry it took me ages to update but I was finally able to find the motivation to do it and will try and update as often as possible.

Thank you all for being so patient. 

Enjoy :)

l woke up and saw a piece of paper on my desk which wasn't there last night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear M'lady

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to say goodbye in person this morning but l had to go home.

Thank you so much for all you did for me last night. You really cheered me up a lot.

- Your Kitty, Chat Noir

I smiled at the note. I was glad that I was able to cheer him up.

'shit! I'm going to be late for school'

I got ready and bolted to school.

*Last night*

I could hear yelling in my uncle's office as per usual, I couldn't tell why or who he was yelling at but he's pretty much always yelling at some poor employee because there was a minor stuff up. So I ended up just ignoring it and went back to my room with a snack I had stolen from the kitchen.

⌛ ⌛ ⌛

That morning was a pretty great morning; I went into Everly's room to check in on her and found her eating breakfast.

"Hey Fi-Fi!" she said happily with a mouth full of food.

I groaned at the nickname which she heard.

"Oh come on, Fi-Fi is a great nickname." She took a breath, "Anyway. I got Anna to get me breakfast this morning so that you wouldn't need to and so that you can get to school at the time you truly want to be there" she smiled at me proud of herself and she had every right to be proud, this was the first time since everything happened that she had eaten by her own free will.

I gave her a big smile back, I was proud and grateful since I wanted to do some extra work before school started.

"I'm proud of you Peanut." I gave her a hug, "Also thank you, I have some work I would like to get done before school starts." I let go of her. "Have a good day Peanut" I said walking towards the door.

"I will, Fi-Fi" she grinned cheekily

I just sighed and rolled my eyes as I walked out the door and I left for school straight away.

When I arrived the school was so quiet and empty. It felt so peaceful, that was until someone ran right into me. They fell flat on their ass whereas I didn't even flinch.

I looked down to see if who it was, surprisingly but also not surprisingly it was Marinette.

'Why is she 2 hours early. She's always late'

"I'm so sor-" when she looked up she stopped her apology, "Oh, it's you" she did not sound happy.

"Why yes of course it's me princess, who else would be here 2 hours early" I rolled my eyes.

"Wait it's 6:45?! I thought it was 9:45!" she then sighed in relief.

"How do you even stuff up the times that bad?" I chuckled at her grasp on time.

"Gee, I'm sorry that I had a really fucking shitty night sleep last night and now my brain can't function properly." She was pissed.

She then stormed pass me on her way to the library.

⭐No one⭐

Little did Marinette know that a certain cat had heard her tell Felix how shitty her sleep was and he felt as if it was all his fault.

⭐Marinette⭐

The school day went by as per usual; easy classes, abuse from Chloe, throwing up and trying to deal with Felix's annoying ass.

Later that day I had to meet Felix in the library so that we could work on our presentation some more.

I mentally prepared myself for the torture I was about to face while we work on our presentation

⭐Felix⭐

We still have no idea what we were going to do our presentation on. After some brainstorming I came up with a clever idea.

"You want to be a fashion designer, right?"

She nodded

"You really want to get your work ending up on the runway as well, don't you?"

"Yeah, and? Are you going with this Felix?"

"why don't we do the presentation on runway culture? I've always had some interest in it since my cousin and uncle a part of it"

She thought for a second and then spoke "You know what, I think that's an excellent idea" she then squinted at me "are you sure you're the real Felix because there's no way the real Felix would have that good of an idea"

"sorry princess, but it's the one and only Felix Graham de Vanily"

She slouched and sighed "Great" she said sarcastically.

I frowned "what's so wrong with me princess?" I was curious but I wish I wasn't, I should've just let it be.

"because you're a cold hearted ass who only cares about himself and enjoys making others' lives miserable"

I looked down. That's not who I was and most definitely not who I wanted to be.

I care about other people for example I care about Everly, my mum and... I couldn't think of anyone else, I then realised that she was right I don't really care for anyone else.

But I don't make other people's lives miserable unless they deserve it. I mean I guess I have kind of given Marinette a hard time and she hasn't even done anything to deserve it, at all.

She sighed "look I'm sorry about what I said, I'm not in a very good mood but that is not excuse. I was too harsh and I'm sorry"

"no Marinette you don't have to be sorry, you were right"

She blinked rapidly me in disbelief "Oh, okay. Look I don't care about you teasing me, I just don't be an absolute dick"

And with that she stood up and left me there alone in the library once again. But at least this time we know what we're doing for the presentation.

I would never admit it to her but her words affected me, a lot, so I decided I would be less of a dick, I still wasn't going to let anyone in. We all know what happened last time I let someone get close, and I refuse to let that happen again, it should never have happened at all.

Thank you so much for waiting patiently everyone. I hope you enjoyed the chapter even though it's pretty short.

Love you all <3
