Broken Promises

Chap 1

It's been almost a year since I've met Adrien
And fell in love with him. Everyday, I stuttered
And embarrassed myself. But... now there's...
A new feeling in my heart. One that I never
Thought I'd feel...

"Chat..." I spoke as I looked into his eyes.
"His emerald green eyes sparkling back
At me.

"M'lady?" His voice echoed in my head as
I fell deeper and deeper into his spell.
"Y-Yes?" I asked, blushing bright red.
"M'lady?" He asked once more. This
Time, my face was close to his. "Yes?"

"M'lady!!" This time it was louder. I
Snapped out of my fantasy and looked
At Chat. "C-Chat...?"

"Are you ok Ladybug? You need to focus!
A villain is on the loose!" He sounded
Serious. Wait... Chat...serious? No way.

"Sorry. I got a little distracted." I said, eyes
Averting from his. "Well just don't let it
Happen again, Kay?" He winked.

"R-Right..." What is wrong with me? Me
And chat noir jumped away to fight evil.

Once it was done, me and Chat noir did
Our Usual "pound it" thing before heading
Off. What is wrong with me? Why can't I
Be myself anymore when I see him?

A flashback led me back to when I was
With chat as Marinette and almost got
Akumatized. No. I could never face him
Again as Marinette like that. After all
That happened...

When I returned to School, I rushed
Through the halls to my bff Alya. I've
Known her for almost a year now and
She's had my back since I first met
Her.

"Girl, you missed English class!"

"Huh!? What!? Really!? Huh!?" She just
Nodded. "Sorry..." I whispered.

"Where were you, girl?" Asked Alya.

"I was..." I looked back and forth to make
Sure nobody was watching before leaning
Into her ear as I whispered "I had to handle
An Akuma."

"Ohhh! Was it tough to defeat?" She asked
Me, curious. "Kind of...yes." I replied.

Suddenly I saw Adrien come towards us.
"Hey Marinette! Didn't see you in Class
Today." He said. "Uh- Y-Yeah well. I was...
In the nurses office! My ancle got sprained!"

Adrien's expression turned into a worried
Expression before speaking. "Oh...are you
Okay?" He asked. "Uh...Yeah. Of course I'm
Fine." I replied.

"You sure?" He asked. This is odd... Adrien
Has been paying attention to me a bit too
Often lately... "Uh- no! I mean, yes I'm fine
But no I don't need your help." I said.

"Well alright..." he replied before beginning
To walk off. "See you in the next class?" He
Asked. "Yeah. Totally!" I replied.

After he left, Alya really gave me that
Look that says "girl, You're hopeless."

"Alya, you know my feelings for Adrien have
Changed!" I said. "Yes but he clearly was
worried about you! You just acted so cold
To him-" she said.

"I know...it's just...too awkward for me to
Talk to him...after...my feelings changing.
I don't know how to be just a friend to
Adrien." I said.

"Girl..."

Suddenly, Chloe bourgeois, the bratty little
Mayers daughter marched up to her, with
Her little friend, Sabrina beside her.

"Marinette Dupain Cheng. What's this?
Have I heard right? Your feelings for
Adrikins disappeared? About time! Now
He's all mine."

"Um, actually he's no one's, chloe..."
I said, rolling my eyes, annoyed.
