Miraculous Adventures of the Ladybugs and Chat Noirs

Chapter 3

[Setting: School, lunch break, Monday]

Adrien and Felix were headed to eat lunch with Adrien's buddies. "Hey Felix, are you alright? You've seemed down, ever since roll call" Adrien asked his cousin worriedly. Felix snapped out of his thoughts and grunted. "What do you mean Adrien?" Felix said, quickly changing his facial expression back to its emotionless self. Adrien eyed him as he sat down with Nino and Alya. Felix sat down by his cousin and picked at his food. He couldn't stop his thoughts from returning to Bridgette. It's been years since he had last seen her. He didn't look at her during class though, he couldn't bring himself to look at her. He now regrets every time he rejected her. Heck, he doesn't even know why he rejected her. She was always so bubbly, no matter if her day went horribly wrong or not. She always smiled even when things didn't go her way. She was persistent and was one determined girl. The way her eyes shine when he looks into them. The way she looked at him. Why? Why did he reject her all those years ago? He couldn't seem to find a reason to why and he hated himself for that. "KYA!!!" Everyone's heads turned to see who screamed. Marinette laid there on the ground, her lunch on the floor and on her clothes. Bridgette was on Marinette, her lunch on herself as well. Their faces both grew bright red in embarrassment as everyone bursted out laughing. Chloe and Sabrina snickered and smirked. Alya growled and Nino shook his head. Adrien and Felix sat there and stared at the scene before them. Chloe did this? Why? Both of the Cheng girls quickly got up and headed out of the school and straight home. Felix felt himself get angry, so did Adrien. "What the hell was that!?" Felix said harshly. He hadn't intended to say it out loud but he did. Chloe snickered. "It was hilarious, those two needed a lesson so I can get some respect around here" she spat out. She turned on her heels and walked off, Sabrina following. Felix clenched his fist and Adrien stared in the direction where Marinette ran.

[Setting: Dupain-Cheng bakery, Monday]

Both girl bursted into the bakery. Sabine looked up and gasped. "What happened to you two?!" The two girls just silently went upstairs to the living room. The headed off to their rooms and showered and changed. Then they both decided it was best to at least help Sabine and Tom with the bakery. The two silently worked as Marinette's parents watched in the background. They both looked at each other worriedly and continued working. Marinette sighed as she wiped down a booth. "I hate first days at school" she mumbled to herself. Bridgette was trying to smile despite the fact she wanted to cry. The both looked at each other and half smiled before continuing work.
