Night watcher, I am Chloe Bourgeois! || Miraculous Ladybug

33. Call-out behavior

n Miss Bustier's class, last period.

The last bell rang.

"Everyone should go home now." Announced Miss Bustier. "Except Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I need to have a word with you." She said in a strict tone that the whole class was shocked.

Understandable as she is not the kind of teacher to use strict tone with her students, not to mention using the full name.

Hihi! It has finally started.

Alya gave a worried look to Marinette but she returned a nod noting that nothing serious would happen.

Dupain-Cheng, you shouldn't be so confident.

Damn. I can't help but smile today.

I mean, I just love drama. Too bad I can't witness it live.

Anyway.

I took my bag and went out of the classroom like everybody else.

After the classroom emptied.

Miss Bustier approached me.

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng. I want you to honestly tell me 𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘭𝘺 what you did you do on the field trip," she asked with a frightening stare.

What did I do?

Don't tell me. . . Did she realize that I am Ladybug!?

"Wha-wha-what do you mean Miss Bustier?"

"I have something to show you."

"Yes?" I was sweating by just thinking about the possibility of her finding out about my identity.

She took her hands inside the pocket of her jacket.

I- I did everything right, right?! Where could I have gone wrong!? After Luka, now Miss Bustier!!? How did things go so wrong!!??

What should I do!? What should I do!!??

I looked at Tikki hiding in my mini bag and received a reassuring nod from her.

Tikki. . .

I felt light thanks to her confidence.

Thank you for comforting me. What would I have done without you?

I took a breath.

Ok, whatever comes I will take it. I am prepared to explain everything to her.

She took out her phone.

"What is the meaning of this?" Her irritation was evident as she started some video on her phone.

My eyes widened when I witnessed its content.

The video was of the recent field trip where I was taking photos of Adrian. . . with strange expressions.

. . . I looked like that when I took photos?

Oh thank god that Adrian has never seen me like that before! He would have thought I was some creep if he saw me like that!

A chill ran down my body.

It's a video. . . A video of me taking photos of Adrian looking like a creep. . . No she will misunderstand!

"Miss Bustier, this is a misunderstanding I can ex-!x

SLAM!

I flinched, retreating my entire body in the sudden shock.

She had slammed the desk.
