A New Partnership 2

A new skill

Chapter 15

The next morning the class of Miss Bustier was dismissed from the last classes before lunch and all began to store back their utensils to leave the room.

Nathaniel stood up as well, then watched Marinette take out the smartphone from her purse to see a notification, afterward she glimpsed back at Nathaniel and nodded. Nathaniel left his spot to meet up with Marinette, then accompanied her out of the classroom.

"What happened yesterday?" Questioned Marinette leaning with her arms above the railing along with the redhead.

"Mrs. Rossi was driving us to some Airbnb, so we could all get to know each other and her car's tire got spiked with thumbtacks. When we got out to change the tire, Hawk Moth showed up and took me,"

"Was there anything suspicious during the ride? Did you feel like something was.....you know, suspicious?"

"The thumbtacks appearing on the road and Hawk Moth suddenly appearing next is the most suspect thing I know from yesterday. I'm sure he has put them there,"

"Have you wondered, how Hawk Moth knew you were there?" Questioned Marinette making Nathaniel shrug his shoulders.

"Not really," Responded Nathaniel. "How exactly I was inside a car of the diplomatic corps, is even more strange,"

"Have you ever thought if Lila's mom had a deal with Hawk Moth or the other way around?" Questioned Marinette watching Nathaniel shake his head.

"I know her mother is very busy. I don't think she would have any time to be helping Hawk Moth in some way. To be frank, I don't even know, what would be the point for the two to be working together,"

"To protect her from akumatizations?" Guessed Marinette. "Well, that would kinda make sense, if she wouldn't have befriended you,"

"She is a member of the acting class. She does her job really well there and improves herself there among the others. Just as I do with the storytelling in creative class," Commented the redhead. "Are you going out today? I'm meeting Miss Vixen and Hydra for practice,"

"Luka asked me if I wanted to go with him to Rolando's birthday party. He is throwing a big barbecue and a chunk of his family is coming from Spain to celebrate it,"

"Sounds like too many people," Commented Nathaniel making Marinette nod.

"We'll see about that. But it's great, that you guys are going to practice. Miss Vixen as a newbie could really use it to gain confidence for upcoming scenarios," Mentioned Marinette making Nathaniel nod.

Behind them, all students had left, including Lila, who was checking her messenger bag and she noticed her deskmate was chatting with the class representative.

"Hey. Are you two staying for lunch?" Questioned Lila watching Nathaniel nod, while Marinette shook her head.

"Home as usual," Answered Marinette.

"I'm staying. They're serving wraps. Ain't going to let this opportunity slide by," Commented Nathaniel making the girls laugh.

"I'm not really interested in any of the menus from today," Confessed the brunette.

"Come, you have to eat at least a little. Eventually, you can share with Marc. Marc usually doesn't eat that much," Mentioned Nathaniel making the desk mate nod.

"I have to go you two. See you later," Marinette said making her way downstair to head back to her home leaving her classmates back.
