In the wrong hands

Chapter 13

Marinette

I yawned and stretched my sore muscles as sunlight streamed through my window and onto my freckled face. My legs and thighs were throbbing from yesterday, Chat decided that he wanted to play a really long game of tag.

I turned my body away from the sunlight and faced Chat's sleeping form. His soft blonde locks spilled onto his face and over his forest green eyes. His mouth was slightly open as he inhaled and exhaled softly.

I sighed as I memorized every detail in his features, as if I would never see him again. Suddenly my alarm clock blared, causing me to squeal and fall off the bed.

I hear Chat wake up with a start, then I see forest green eyes pooling into my blue ones.

"Hmm? W-Wha?" I laughed at Chat's disheveled form as I took in his shaggy blonde hair sticking up on one side, and his garbled words.

"Sorry Chaton. I didn't mean to scare you." I laughed as I silenced the blaring alarm clock. I picked myself off the ground and padded over to my closet.

"Why are you up so early?" Chat mumbled, sleep still evident in his voice.

"I've got school today silly." I chuckled as I searched for an outfit. I picked out a lacy white camisole paired with baby pink capris. At Chat's silence, I turned around to see him snoring softly. I laughed as I quickly got dressed and brushed my hair back into a messy bun.

Seeing as I actually had time this morning, I ripped a piece of paper from my sketch book and grabbed my favorite Ladybug spotted pen.

I quickly scribbled down a note and taped the paper to Chat's forehead.

"Sweet dreams Chaton." I said as I kissed his forehead and left for school.

À L'école......

I approached Alya with a smile and wave as she waved back at me.

"Hey girl, how's everything." She asked with her eyebrows slightly raised, hinting that she was asking about Chat.

"Oh, everything's fine. We're okay now." I beamed as I thought about Chat. Yes we are definitely okay.

Me and Alya chatted about the Ladyblog, and amongst other things. We strolled into our first block class to see police officers standing beside our photography teacher, Mrs.Marichat.

"Class please find your seats. The police are here to ask some questions about a missing student, Adrien Argeste, don't worry no one is in trouble." Mrs.Marichat said sweetly.

I stiffened and played with my hands.

How could I have forgotten that Adrien is missing! One of my best friends is gone without a trace! And I all I have done is hang out with Chat all weekend!

I mentally face palmed myself over and over at this thought. But my face palming was rudely interrupted by a stern voice ringing out through the classroom.

"Listen up children! We plan on bringing all of you in for questioning, but for now, let's interrogate his closets friends. Alya, Nino, and Marinette please come with me." Natalie announced with no emotion.

Every head in the classroom swiveled to look at the three of us.

Ugh! Why do we have to go first?!?!

"Um excusez moi? Why am I not on that list?!?! Me and my Adrikins were closer than those losers !" Chloé shouted angrily as she clenched her fists tightly.

"Well I guess you may join us then." Natalie said with raised eyebrows.

The four of us were lead out of the classroom in silence. Mrs.Marichat gave us a look of sympathy before she begun class.
