Takes Place: At the beginning of the school year, post Chameleon. Characters are aged up to 18.
Quick Summary: Marinette is kicked out of Bustier’s class for unknown reasons, and is transferred into Mendeliev’s class. The entire school immediately adopts her, making it obvious that they wanted to before but were scared of the akuma class. Marinette makes so many friends who genuinely care about her so fast that she’s too busy to care what her old class is doing. Meanwhile, in Mendeliev’s class, she meets a bleach blonde boy with neon green eyes in all black who calls her princess, and they hit it off instantly.
Cliffnotes Details:
—This is class salt but especially against Adrien. Nathaniel and Juleka transferred out earlier in the timeline, before Marinette was kicked out, and are therefore exempt from salt.
—Basically, the class is portrayed as extremely selfish and ungrateful. They’re under the impression that Marinette abandoned them, and wants to teach her a lesson so she’ll go back to giving them free favors.
—Marinette thinks this mystery boy, Chase, is Chat Noir, and it’s not a hard comparison to make, considering their very similar mannerisms and looks. However, Chase is not Chat Noir and is not pretending to be. In fact, Chase fucking hates him and berates him at every opportunity.
—Marinette has so many friends. A whole lot. She loves them all. Also she dumped her class president stuff and it is now filled with information on all her new friends so she can better keep up with them.
—Happy Marinette!! She’s not stressed as hell anymore!! She’s just enjoying being alive because now she has people she can actually depend on!!
—She’s still friends with Kagami though.
—Kagami kinda had the unfortunate opportunity to witness Adrien ‘Take the high road or ill make you feel bad’ Agreste being a manipulative prick to Marinette, and yeah, that’s not gonna fly. Crush is gone.
—So many original characters. The focus is Chase and Marinette though.
—Chase is a very good guy who has a motorcycle and cares about Marinette dearly. He did beat the shit out of Chat Noir for her, after all.
