Dance with Vampires

Chapter 2

The next day at school

As Adrien made his way to his private classes, he was stopped by an old friend of his.

CHLOE: Adrikins, there you are! It's been so long since we've seen each other.

ADRIEN: It's nice to see you again, Chloe. Excuse me, but I have to get going before I'm late (leaves).

After Adrien leaves, Chloe and Sabrina spotted Marinette and Alya.

CHLOE: Well, well, well, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Alya Césaire.

MARINETTE: What do you want, Chloe?

CHLOE: I just came to see what my old classmates were up to, and it appears that you both still have such horrible fashion sense (laughs).

MARINETTE: At least we don't wear clothing that goes back to the 1960s. And another thing Chloe, would you quit it with wearing makeup? It makes you look like you're a creepy clown who woke up on the wrong side of the bed.

Everyone around them laughed at the comeback Marinette made at Chloe. Chloe was angered by what Marinette said, but stomped away angrily without saying anything back.

ALYA: (Alya gives Marinette a fist pump) Good job.

Ms. Mendeleiev's classroom

(A knock at the door)

MS. MENDELEIEV: Can I help you?

A STUDENT: Forgive me for interrupting you, but Marinette has been asked to go to the 3rd library.

Marinette is shocked while everyone turns around to her. After getting a pass from Ms. Mendeleiev, Marinette made her way to the 3rd library.

MARINETTE (in her thoughts): I wonder what despicable and wrong things Adrien has for me this time.

3rd library

When Marinette walked into the library, she found the other members of the Student Council in different places. Just then, a Pomeranian dog comes out from underneath the table, and walks up to Marinette.

MARINETTE: (gently pets the dog) I guess you decided to come to school, huh.

(A rose appears in front of Marinette)

URIE: It's a delight to see you again, my beautiful butterfly.

MARINETTE: And you are?

URIE: My name's Urie Sogami. You could always asked me for help; forget the Great Adrien. It'd be my honor and a true pleasure to help a beautiful lady such as yourself.

MARINETTE: (blushes) Thank you, but I'm gonna have to decline.

SHIKI: (Shiki approaches) Urie, leave her alone. Pleased to meet you. I'm Shiki Natsumezaka. We've heard about your troubles. You have my condolences on what happened to your mother. Please let me know if you need anything, ok?

(Marinette smiles, & Shiki comes closer)

SHIKI: Such a defenseless, poor girl. (Shiki blushes pleasantly) When I think of all the things that could possibly happen to you. The thought makes me shiver.

MAGE: (Pulls Shiki aside). Would you quit being such a creeper all the time, dude? (Pulls Marinette closer to him, and grabs her chin) I'm here if you ever need me. Just ask for Mage Nanashiro, doll face.
