je t'aime (ML fanfic) FINISHED

Chpt 12-Project

(Marinette/Ladybug's pov, at school the next day:)
I walk up the long staircase and enter the school building, I look around for Alya but she isn't around.
"Oh hey! It's Marinette!" I hear an all too familiar voice yell.
I look in the direction where the sound was coming from and I see Chloé walking towards me and I roll my eyes and try to walk away, but I'm stopped by Sabrina.
"Leave me alone." I say, sighing.
"Nah, I'm not going to let you go without having a little fun. Sabrina. To the locker rooms. Now." Chloé orders, Sabrina obeys and grabs both of my arms and drags me into the ladies locker room.
Once we're in there I start to squirm. Sabrina is really starting to hurt me, and this is coming from a girl who has always had a high tolerance for pain.
"Stop moving!" Sabrina says as she slaps me.
I sigh once again and look forward, just to lock eyes with Chloé.
She grabs my chin and laughs. Sending spit onto my face. I crinkle my nose in disgust and she just laughs louder.
"So Marinette? Is it true that you like my Adrien? If so, that isn't good. Not t all."
"He's not your pet." I spit, "You don't own him!" I yell.
"I'll just have to get rid of her, right Sabrina?" Chloé asks, as if she didn't hear me yell at her.
Sabrina nods and they start yelling at me.
"Slut!"
"Whore!"
"Bitch!"
"You're worthless!"
"Adrien will never love you!"
"You're ugly."
"Just a piece of shit!"
After that last comment Chloé punches me on my face and I wince as I feel a rush of pain flood through my system.
"You need to die." Chloé says.
I sigh and ignore them.
"Are you two finished yet?" I ask, wanting to get up and go to class.
"If you tell anyone about this...I will have you expelled." Chloé says in a harsh tone.
"Now we're finished!" Sabrina exclaims as she laughs and claps her hands together.
I stand up and begin to walk, wobbling for a while until I regain balance.
While walking to class Chloé and Sabrina walk past me, shoving me and making me fall in the process.
I shake it off and stand back up, not wanting to attract attention.

(In class):
I stumble into class looking like a mess, my hair is in a messy bun that looks like crap, there are bruises on my arms, I forgot makeup this morning and my face is red from the impact of Chloé's fist.
"Marinette. You're late." The teacher states dryly. I nod and slump over to my desk, where I look around for Alya, but she is nowhere to be seen. I sigh and plop into my seat as the teacher begins her lesson again.
"Marinette, are you okay?" I hear a male voice ask, I look back and see Nathaneal. I smile and nod a bit.
"Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry." I lie, causing him to make a weird face. I swear that boy can see right through me.
"You're lying. I can see it in your eyes. They don't have the usual sparkle in them." He says, confronting me.
I let out a sigh and shake my head; "Don't worry about me, Nathaneal. I'll be okay."
"But your face...it's all red and bruised..." He frowns.
"Really..?" I ask.
"Yes. What happened?"
"Chloé. What else?" I say, sighing once again.
"Excuse me Ms. Dupain Cheng would you like to share what you're saying with the class?" The teacher asks, sternly.
"N-no m-ma'am!" I answer, shaking.
"If you disrupt this class one more time I will be sending you to the principals office. Am I clear?"
"Yes ma'am! Thank you ma'am."
"Good." She says, returning to her lesson once more. I let out a sigh of relief and look over at Nathaneal.
"We'll talk later, okay?" I whisper.
"Alright." He whispers back, and I look forward.

(Adrien's pov;)
I look over behind me and see Marinette talking to Nathaneal. I hear the words:
"What happened?" And "Chloé." I think about it for a while and then suddenly I think of what is happening.
'Chloé is bullying Marinette. Oh my god!' I scream in my head, I then see Plagg pop out of my bag and glare at me, I whisper, "sorry." And he returns to his little home in my bag. I let out a little chuckle and roll my eyes.
Plagg is such a freak sometimes, but he's my best friend. I'm starting to think that I'm stuck with him until I die.
"Today class, we will be picking partners for our project. I'm sure you are aware of what we are doing but if you aren't let me refresh your memories. The project is 40% of your grade. You and your partner will be creating a business along with a product. For example let's say I work for a shoe company. I would have to come up with a design of a shoe to present to the class. Everyone must have something different. So that is why I have this sign up sheet. This project is mandatory so I must see everyone's name." She says as she holds a piece of paper on a clip board up. "You all may not like this, but I am assigning your partners." As she says this, the whole class groans and she chuckles a bit.
"Okay so I'm starting off with....Chloé and Sabrina, Nino and Alya, Kim and Alix, Marinette and Adrien...."
After she says my name I go into a daze. I begin to think about what I want to do for the presentation and think of a million things. I stop when I think of something that had a big impact on my life.
Fashion. Marinette and I could create a dress and we could become fashion designers. That way I could impress my father and he would finally be happy.
"Marinette!" I say as I stand up, and turn around.
"We could be fashion designers!" I say, my eyes lighting up. I see her smile and I know it's a good sign.
"That's perfect!" She says.
"Okay class! That finishes off the list! If you know what you're going to be presenting come up and sign the paper and put down what you're doing!" The teacher announces.
"Alright. I'll be right back Adrien." Marinette says, standing up and walking to the front of the room to sign the paper for the both of us.
She begins to grab the pen on the table but is pushed really hard, she falls to the ground with a loud, 'thump'.
I didn't see who she got pushed by but I run over to Marinette quickly, and help her up.
"Marinette are you alright?!" I ask, concerned. She nods slowly and I rub her arm.
"Go sit down. I'll sign the paper for us." I say and she smiles a bit and then walks back to her desk. I pick the pen up from off of the floor and I sign the paper, then put what we will be doing for the project.
After I'm finished with that, I sit the pen down on the teachers desk and I walk to Marinette's desk, I look at the empty seat and take it. Alya won't get mad because she isn't here.
"So, when do you want to work on the project?" I ask.
"W-we can work on it at my house after school...if you're not busy."
"Sure!" I say excitedly. Marinette's parents own a bakery and I love their sweets. The sweets remind me of my mother. She would always take me out on walks and every time we were walking she would take me to a bakery and get me whatever I wanted.
I miss that so much.
