Notes

Marinette

I could already tell that school was going to be a nightmare.

From the way the air felt, and the way Alya sounded on the phone, things were going to be bad.

"Hello?! Did you even see what happened yesterday?!" Alya had said, making me think back to what she could've possibly meant.

I mean sure, Chat Noir and I had a run in with an Akuma, but it wasn't anything super special.

No homework or projects due...so I said: "What are you talking about?"

She groaned and just said, "I'll see you at school."

Walking down the street after that just felt weird.

I could hear everyone I passed fighting about something, anyone who was standing outside of school had dull looks on their faces, and all in all, I just had a bad feeling about that day.

I walked now up the concrete stairs to school, looking left and right for Alya, but she was nowhere to be found.

I sighed and walked in, seeing Nino head into class with Adrien by his side.

I quickened my pace, wanting to ask Nino about Alya, but I felt someone place a hand on my shoulder; I turned around to see Alya standing there.

"Hey! What's going on?" I asked, turning my head to watch the two guys walk into class.

She grabbed my forearm and dragged me in behind them.

"Listen, I cant talk about it right now. It was a mistake to ever say something in the first place." She said, her voice low and scratchy as she sat beside me in class.

Nino looked up at us, "Hey Alya, you okay?" He asked his girlfriend, who just rolled her eyes and looked over at me.

"I'm fine Nino." She mumbled, crossing her arms.

The bell rang for class to begin, but I wasn't ready to let this go.

I reached inside my folder and pulled out a piece of paper and a pencil .

For real, what's going on? I wrote, sliding the paper to her and tapping her arm.

She looked down at it, and took my pencil from my hand.

You really have no idea what happened yesterday, do you?

No I don't, what happened? Was it something to do with Nino?

She rolled her eyes again before writing: No silly, it was with Ladybug and Chat Noir! Didn't you at least read my post?

I blinked rapidly. What happened between me and Chat?

I guess it just slipped my mind, what happened? And why are you so mad about this?

Ladybug-"Girls? Is that something you'd like to share with the class?"

Alya dropped the pencil and smiled. "No ma'am."

"Then please pay attention." Said our teacher, returning to whatever she was writing on the board.

I looked over at Alya and nudged her with my elbow, but all she did was shake her head.

I sigh and look forward.

What happened yesterday?
