Monarch, To the Rescue! (A Miraculous Ladybug x Reader Story)

Chapter 3

~(Y/N)'s POV~

Thankfully, I made it home before I transformed back. When I transformed, I realized I was still in my pajamas. I checked the clock: 7:30 am. School started at 8:00. I had time. Thank goodness I had picked out clothes the night before~

I wore a black tank top and blue skinny jeans. I had my Miraculous on (A/N- Pretend the infinity necklace is a bracelet) and black earrings. I had a black and blue sweater on over the tank top, and black converse. I slipped on my backpack and raced out the door. "Bye Mom, bye Dad!" I yelled to my parents. "Bye (Y/N/N)!" They called back. I couldn't be late to my first day of school! I hoped no one would recognize me. If one person were to recognize me, there would be a crowd, and I was already almost late as it was. Running down the sidewalk, I could see the school coming into view. Faster (Y/N), faster! I ran up the steps and tried to find the principal's office. I saw a girl with long brown hair, and ran up to her. "Excuse me, but- Lila?" Ohmygosh, Lila! She was my best friend before she moved to Paris. We had gone to the same school in New York and been really close. "(Y/N)! What are you doing here?" She asked, excitement showing on her face. "I just moved here a few days ago!" We hugged, and I saw a few stares, but I didn't care. I was so happy to see a familiar face in a see full of strangers. "So, anyway, can you show me the to the office please Li?" I had made up the nickname a few years back, and it stuck. "Oh sure, (Y/N/N)!" I followed her up a flight of stairs, and she showed me to a pair of large doors.

~Marinette's POV~

I saw a girl I had never seen before rush past me to get inside the school. I hadn't been late today, even though there had been an akuma attack just this morning. Screeching Willow had been her name. She was actually just a girl in our class, Laurie I think her name was, who got angry because she didn't get the part she wanted in the school play. I guess someone had made fun of her voice. They had said she "sounded like a banshee." I've heard her sing before, she's actually quite good.
Anyway, the girl who ran in I knew wasn't Laurie. She did look familiar though. I decided to follow her in, see what she was doing. She was most likely going to see Mr. Damocles, but you never know. When I walked in I saw her talking to Lila. Hm, I thought, she's probably just like Lila and Chloé. I saw them hug, and it became obvious to me. Lila showed her to Mr. Damocles's office, and I went to talk to Alya. "Did you see the new girl?" I asked Alya. "Yeah, she ran past me on my way to school today. She came from the direction of the mansions, so I'm assuming she's rich." She told me, which confirmed my suspicions. I was definitely going to stay away from her. "I saw her hug Lila earlier. She's probably just like Lila." I said sadly. "You're probably right Marinette," Alya agreed. We both sighed. We don't need another mean girl, I thought. The bell rang, and I saw Lila and the girl exchanging schedules. I guess they were in the same classes because they both high-fived each other. Their arms interlocked, they started walking to class. Alya and I followed close behind. All we could hear were snippets of their conversation. I heard Lila say something that confused me. "How was New York after I left?" She asked the girl. Lila lived in New York? "...fans, concerts, same stuff..." the girl replied. Concerts? Was she a singer? Now that I thought about it, that's probably why she looked familiar! I still couldn't put my finger on who she was, but I would figure out soon enough. When we walked into class, the girl walked up to the teacher and said something. They shook hands. Hm, I thought, nice to adults, rude to students. I see how it is. Alya and I went to go sit down, and the girl stood up front with the teacher. "Class, meet (Y/N) (L/N). She just moved here from New York, am I correct?" Suddenly, a song popped into my head.
If we go down,
Then we'll go down together,
Running from responsibilities
We'll get away with everything
That was one of her songs, wasn't it? But wait, that song was a duet....didn't she have a brother? Why wasn't he here today? "Um, yes, New York City." She replied. "Tell us a bit about yourself, (Y/N)." The teacher told her. "Well, um, I have a twin brother named Asher, you've probably heard of him. We like to do duets and stuff. Um, I can play multiple instruments, but my favorite is guitar. I have a cat, name Kilo. He's cute. Oh um, Lila was my best friend in NYC, so that's how I know her. So, yeah." She was blushing. Lila smiled at her, giving her a thumbs up. "Where is Asher today?" She asked. "He's not here...? Oh look, there's my dear brother," she pointed to a head of black hair bobbing up the steps. He knocked on the door, and Nino let him in. "Late on your first day, tsk tsk," the teacher scolded him. I could tell (Y/N) was trying not to laugh. Lila was rolling her eyes. "S-sorry Ms....Bustier is it?" Asher was gasping for air. He must've run the whole way. "Well, Asher, go sit next to Nino since Adrien isn't here yet," she told him. "And (Y/N), you can sit next to Lila in the back." Of course. At least they were far away.

~Asher's Pov~

I sat down next to Nino. I was still out of breath from running to school today. I don't know how (Y/N) does it. She's fit enough for both of us. Suddenly I got a text:
Adrien: Has the bell rung yet?
Asher: Yes, I barely made it. Hurry dude!
You may be wondering, "How did you get Agreste's number?" Well, here's a flashback:

~Flashback~

We had finally finished unpacking. Sis was in her room, probably writing music lyrics or something. She needs to get out more. I knocked on her door, trying to annoy her.
"(Y/N/N), wanna go explore Paris?" I asked her. She opened her door suddenly, and I tripped. She smirked. "Of course, dear brother," she replied, laughing. "Oh my goodness, get up, your pretty face will be ruined!" She said mimicking our photographer. Man, that guy needs to calm himself down. She reached down and I grabbed her hand. She helped pull me up. "Where shall we go first, dear brother?" She knows I hate when she does that. Dear brother this, dear brother that. "How about...the park?" We interlocked arms and walked out the door. Thankfully, no one recognized us. We made it to the park, the green grass shining. "Tag, you're it!" She suddenly said, pushing me. She took off across the park, me trailing after her. I looked to see where she was going. She was running straight towards a tree! Does she see it? I wondered. "(Y/N), watch out!" She just laughed. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a blonde guy rushing towards her. Right before she got to the tree she jumped up and climbed up to the first branch. I felt relieved, and I could tell the blonde did too. "Gosh (Y/N/N), you scared me!" I yelled. The blonde walked up to me. "She sure is athletic isn't she?" He said in awe. "An athletic idiot," I muttered. She had jumped down from the tree and was walking toward us. She wasn't even out of breath! She put an arm on my shoulder and whispered to me, "Who's he?" The blonde stared at us. "Dunno," I replied. "May I ask your name?"
(Y/N) always got really formal meeting new people. "Oh, I'm Adrien, Adrien Agreste. You two seem to be a great couple." When he said that we jumped away from each other. (Y/N) was laughing, and I was staring at Adrien. "Ew, gross, she's my sister!" I exclaimed, bright red. (Y/N) had doubled over in laughter, and Adrien was blushing. He also had another emotion on his face...relief? Afterwards we exchanged phone numbers and left, because Mom texted me dinner was almost ready.

~End of Flashback~

So now you know how I got Agreste's number. He's a pretty cool guy. He doesn't seem like the type to be late though. Didn't he say he was a model? I know how photo shoots are, they take pretty long. We sometimes have to do them for album covers and stuff. I hate them, but (Y/N) doesn't mind them. I look up from my work to see Adrien getting scolded for being late like I did. I saw (Y/N) wave to him with a kind smile on her face. Wait, is that Lila with her? (Y/N) probably already told you about Lila didn't she? Yeah, I thought so. Adrien slid into the spot next to me. "Hey dude," Nino said quietly. "Hi," Adrien said back.

~(Y/N)'s POV~

It was lunchtime, and Lila decided we should eat at the park. We sat down on one of the benches and ate. "So, what do you think of Ladybug?" I asked. Lila crinkled her nose. "From personal experience, she has a short temper and gets suspicious way too easily," she replied, a hint of disgust in her voice. "From what I've seen, with her and Monarch's first meeting, I can agree," I said. I wasn't lying. I didn't really like her either. "Anyway," I started, changing the topic, "do you deem anyone else her friend-worthy? You are very picky about who you are friends with anyway." I smirked. She rolled her eyes. "Not really," she replied, "I'm not really very popular. I'm actually the exact opposite." She said with a frown. "Really? Why not?" I asked, worried for her. "Well...when I first arrived I might've told a few lies..." She blushed and looked at the ground. "Li, it's okay! You can't help it sometimes! Don't worry, I'll stay by you!" I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. Suddenly my phone buzzed.
Asher: guitar practice in 5 mins
"Oh Li, I have guitar! Text me tonight!" With that I jumped up and raced home.
