Any moment Adrien will arrive at the theatre. I can't believe he actually asked me. I stand at the door anxious, and then a limo pulls up. Adrien exits the limo and walks over. "Hi Mari! Excited for the movie?" He asked.
"Yeah!" I say and we get our tickets and food.
We sit down and it's just the pre show.
"So what school do you go to?" He asks.
I can't tell him I'm go to Hero Academy, like Chat Noir said, I can't give my identity. "Oh I ah... Am home schooled!" I lie. "And you?"
He looks a little jumpy and then says. "Oh yeah, me too!" He sits back.
I've never met someone who's homeschooled before. You'd think that might be boring to be alone, especially since he hasn't mentioned any siblings. Then again, I do have to pretend I'm homeschooled. "So, you bought two things of nachos for yourself?" I ask, then realizing I might of come off rude.
"Yeah, I'm hungry..." He said, eating a chip.
"That's okay, I mean like those are huge portions- I mean nothing's wrong with that..." Being natural around him isn't easy.
"Did you want some?" He asked.
"Oh no no I'm fine." I look the other way, hoping the movie will start already, I'm feeling awkward.
"So, anything from my father's collection that interests you? I could probably get a deal." He spoke.
I try to think of something, but what's the point of getting new clothes and such when I have to wear a hero uniform to school everyday?
"I'm not sure, I mean I like a lot of the styles." I reply, but then the movie starts. After that we watched the movie, so of course we didn't talk really. Then he got picked up in a limo and I walked home. He offered a ride, but I can't let him know I reside in a Hero Academy dorm.
The next day I was late for school. After the first class, I saw Chat Noir and Volpina talk again. Volpina turned around and saw me. "Ladybug, right? Wow, nice costume." She said sarcastically.
"What does that mean?" I ask.
"You're really depending on Chat Noir for passing your studies?" She laughed.
"Excuse me?" I stiffen myself up.
"And to be a hero you should be responsible, and you were late." She teased.
"My alarm didn't go off, that's not my fault." I said back.
"Volpina, you don't have to be, well rude." Chat Noir said.
Volpina looked shocked that he said that to her. "Fine, whatever. I need to get things from my locker." She said, and took off.
Chat Noir left, he won't even talk to me outside of tutoring. He acts like he's too good for me.
