Slowness and Sickness

(Marinette's POV)

I go up to my room after supper is done, Tikki hiding in my jacket. Once there, I flop on my bed with a sigh whether from happiness because of Adrien or tiredness because of the late night patrols I don't know. Speaking of patrols, I have to be at one of them soon.

"Chat Noir is probably wondering where we are, maybe we should go on patrol now." I suggest to Tikki.

"Okay." Tikki agreed.

"Tikki, spots on!" I say and a pink light surrounds me, I do some kicks and twirls then I strike a pose at the end of my transformation. "Okay, lets go"

I run upstairs to the roof then I fling my yo-yo towards a building in the distance and head towards our meeting place atop the Eiffel Tower. "hmm, I must be early" I say to myself. I look at the clock in my yo-yo. "Or he's just running late."

After a few rounds around the city, I decied that Chat Noir wont show up so I go home since there is nothing bad happening.

I zip through Paris, Flinging my yo-yo and swing pass buildings. I'm not far from my house so I get there in no time. I quietly drop down on the roof and sneak into my room.

I flop down on my bed. "I'm exhausted Tikki." I say.

"You should probably go to sleep then Marinette." Tikki suggests while yawning.

"I can't right now though because I was wanting to make a call to Alya."

"Are you sure it can't wait until tomorrow? Alya will most likely be asleep since it's already past midnight also you need to get some sleep, you've hardly got any in the past few days.."

"I guess it could, you're right Tikki." I get changed into my pajamas and slide under the duvet, I instantly fall asleep as my head hits the pillow.

*I wake up with the sun shining on my eyes, I slowly grab my phone from the bedside table and check for any notifications. I am confused at first but then my eyes widen. 3 missed calls from Alya and 8 text messages all saying 'Where are you?' or 'you're going to be late if you don't get your butt down here'. I check the time and see that it's 10:58 "Oh my God I am so late" I yell while trying to get ready for school as fast as I can.

I grab my usual attire, brush my hair over a few times and quickly throw it up in some pigtails, then I wake Tikki up and tell her we are late before I grab my purse and run downstairs. I run into the bakery to grab a croissant, my parents look surprised to see me but they must have figured I was running late considering the time it was and me running around like a madman.

After I got the croissant I ran back up into my room to get Tikki then run back downstairs, quickly give mama and papa a hug then a kiss on the cheek, "Goodbye!" I say quickly then I am out the door.

I run down the street towards the school dodging pedestrians and vehicles trying not to plow anyone down. Once I make it there I look at the time 11:22. I missed both my first and second period classes and now I'm late for my third.

I creep slowly into class trying not to make any noise but I had accidentally bumped my hip into the corner of a desk then I dropped all of my papers. I cringe as I slowly bend down to pick them all up while having a burning feeling in my side.

"Miss Dupain-Cheng if you want to be late to my class at least try to do it discreatly and without interrupting my class"

"Sorry Miss" I squeak out both from pain and embarrassment "I'll try not to let it happen again.

After the teacher goes back to her lesson and I sit down in my seat next to Alya, I notice a certain Golden-Haired goddess isn't sitting in front of me. "Hey Alya?" I whisper to which she hums in response "Where is Adrien today, It's unlike him to miss a class unless for a photoshoot but those don't usually happen until the end of the day."

"I don't know girl, he wasn't in any other classes and speaking of which, why weren't you in any classes this morning?"

"I slept in." I reply as if it were obvious.

"you have got to stop staying up so late or else you are going to work yourself to death." Alya says half-joking.

Alya and I stop talking and listen to what the teacher is saying, well that's a lie because my mind is in twenty places at once. wondering where Chat Noir was last night and now Adrien today.

after just over a half hour, the bell rung. thank god too because I almost fell asleep countless times. Alya and I head over to our lockers to put our books and binders away and grab our lunches. "it's just so unlike him to miss a day of school, I mean, he begged his father to let him go here and then poof, he's gone." I rambled on to Alya

"just chill girl, he's probably just sick or something." Alya said while we walked to an open lunch table. A few second after we sit down, Nino joins us while saying "Sup dudes." to which we reply with "Nothing much"

We all eat our lunch quietly. I break the silence by saying. "Hey Nino, I was wondering if you knew where Adrien was? have you seen him today?"

"No dude I haven't. I called him a couple of times but it went straight to voicemail. its pretty weird him disappearing without telling anyone." He replies.

"So there is still the chance that he is sick." Alya suggests.

I nod.

"Hey Alya, so I was thinkning for the dance," Nino starts telling Alya but then I zone out the rest.

I wonder where Adrien is.
