Chapter 7 - Thoughts.

Marinette's POV
I pumped fists with Chat, to celebrate our defeat of the akuma.
This one was easy, but I had a strong suspicion that they would only get tougher eventually.
I raced back to the girls bathroom to de-transform. I got there just in time, too. My ladybug suit magically disappeared and was replaced with my normal clothes.
Tikki flew out of my earrings, exhausted. I placed her in the palm of my hand. She looks very tired. Pale, even.
"Tikki,are you ok? You look really drained." I say, concerned over Tikki's pale state.
"Yes, Mari. I'm fine. I just am tired that's all. Also, very hungry." She replys in her normal squeaky voice.
I smile and dig through my purse for the small bag of pastries I had packed in case of an akuma.
"Here, Tikki. Eat these." I hand her a mini chocolate chip cookie. She takes it gladly.
"Now, get inside before anyone sees you ok?" I let her hover inside my bag and shut it, leaving just a small space for Tikki to look out of and get fresh air from.
She's looking a whole lot better now. I walk out of the girls restroom and back into class which still has the door locked.I tap on the glass, and motion for the Ms. to let me in.
She unlocks the door and pushes me inside. "Thank the gods! Your alright! The class and I were worried. I will let you off with a single warning for today, ok? But try not to be late again. Class, after that sudden attack, I think we all need to cool down with a free period." I nod, glad to not be in trouble anymore. She makes me sit down before asking a question which had crossed my mind before.
"Has anyone seen Adrien?" She asks worriedly. I burrow my eyebrows together trying to think about when I last saw him. The class titters with uncertainty and confusion. Hmmmm.... Think Mari, Think! Oh! Right! He went to the bathroom before I transformed.
Ohhh... I hope nothing happened to him! I hope he was safe from the akuma. I worriedly think dangerous thoughts.
What if he's injured?
What if its deadly?
What if he's currently bleeding to death?
Ughhhh! Why didn't I protect him! Now its my fault he's bleeding to death in a dark corner in the bathroom with no medical attention! Someone needs to go to him!
I raise my hand eagerly to get Ms. Bustier's attention. She sees my hand and calls me out.
"Yes, Marinette? Do you know where Adrien went?" She says.
"He went to the boys bathroom while we were on our way to the principal's office." I say unsure.
A look of relief washes over Ms. Bustier's face. "Good. Well in that case, he should be back any moment now." She replys calmly.
As if on cue, Adrien bursts into the room. Now, a wave of relief washes over me. I sigh relived. I had overreacted.
"Hi. Um, the boys bathroom had a really long waiting line, so I had to wait.... A REALLY long time... Yeah." He says awkwardly.
"Oh, Adrikins! I'm so glad you're ok! It must have been torture to be with Marinette for such a long amount of time. But Chloe's here now." She says my name with disgust and bats her fake eyelashes at Adrien.
Gimme a break! I roll my eyes in disgust. Chloe was so fake! I wanted to puke right there and then. I caught Adrien roll his eyes behind Chloe's back and puts on a fake smile.
"Actually, Chloe I had a wonderful 30 minutes with Marinette. But thank you for your.... Eh er.... Concern." He manages to say. Me and the class manage to stiffle a laugh.
Chloe scowls at the class but doesn't notice Adrien's sarcasm. He walks over to his seat nonchalantly. How can he be so calm when I spent the last 4 minutes worring my head off about his beautiful self? He smiles at Nino and gives him a high five. Ahhhhh... That smile. It reminded me of Chat's signature smirk.... I felt my face heat up at the thought of Chat. WAIT, WHAT?!?! Gotta snap out of it. Those thoughts are just wrong. You shouldn't be thinking such things about Chat. I scold myself. He's your best friend and partner! He'll never be anything more.. The more I try to convince myself of this the more I don't believe it.
"Dude, we were so worried! Where were you?" Nino asked.
"Well, there was a long line, but also, there was this akuma!" He exclaimed.
My eyes widened. He went on.
" She was so strong. She blasted Chat Noir, but he doged! I blushed at the compliment. Even though it wasnt excactly for me, either way it was a nice compliment. He has a proud, smug expression on his face for some reason.
Alya is tying on her phone madly, getting down every word that Adrien says. For her, this is pure gold. It's not everyday that you get to hear the point of view, of the witness of and akuma attack. "Go on! What else happened?!" Alya pressed.
He continued to speak on and on about me, Chat, and the akuma. I have to admit, Chat was really helpful when he went through all of the classrooms in the school. So thoughtful too...
As Adrien was telling his ongoing tale of the attack, Chloe strolled over to where our little group was. I glared at her and she shot me back an icy death stare. She rolls her eyes and walks over to Adrien.
"So, Adrien! I heard that YOU saw the akuma attack. I myself have had many encounters with Ladybug and Chat Noir. She even took as selfie with me!" She brags , spreading her divaness all over Adrien.
(A/N: I made up the word 'divaness'. It means that your a full of diva... I guess?)
I wanted to puke.
She whips out her phone and tries to drag Adrien away from us.
"Chloe! Stop, let me go!" He protests but her grip stays strong on his pale hand.
"Let him go Chloe! He said that he doesn't want to hang with you!" Nino protests.
"Yeah!" I back Nino up and flash him a confident smile. He sends me back a grateful smile in return.
"Plus, I'm in the middle of interviewing Adrien for my Ladyblog!" Alya retorts.
Chloe flips her blond hair behind her back to try to act superior.
"Well, your little 'Ladyblog' will have to wait. Adrikins and I are TRYING to view my majestic selfies." She snaps in our faces.
I can feel my face getting hot with anger. " Marinette! She's not worth your anger. Please calm down!" I hear a squeaky voice say. I glance down at my purse to see Tikki's head through the little hole in the purse.
"OK, Tikki, your right." I whisper under my breath. She sends my a small smile and ducks back in.
I clear my throat. "Actually, Chloe did you know that this entire school plus the city reads Alya's Blog? Way more readers that your social media followers last time I checked. You would want her fans to get angry cause she hasn't posted this story now do you?" I calmy tell Chloe.
"Ugh! Whatever! I can always buy more followers. And why should I care about dome dumb blog and it's pathetic fans?"
" Because of you, Alya won't be able to post anything. So they'll need someone to blame and turn against. Guess who that's gonna be?" I say.
Chloe turns pale.
"Oh, that's right...YOU." I point at her. She let's go of Adrien, frustrated, frightened, and angry.
"Here, finish your dumb interview." Her voice wavers and wobbles as she pushes Adrien towards us. He sends us all a Thank you for saving my life smile. I smile back, blushing a lovely rose color.
She stomps off to her desk where she starts talking to Sabrina about how 'vile' we are.
"Thanks for saving me you guys!" He high fives Nino.
"No problem dude. It was really Marinette who did all the work though!" He nudges me.
"Well.... N-n-not really." I stutter.
"Thanks anyways!" He says directly towards me.
He goes back to Alya for the interview.
I look out the window and at the bright blue sky. I wonder where Chat is now... I hope he's not making mischief. I smile to myself at the thought.
Even though I shouldn't be thinking such things, I think I'm falling for Chat. Hard.
