Chloe Part 1

Hi guys I hope you like this chapter. I would love it if you gave feedback or commented so I know you like my story and if I should keep writing. Thx Maia xox

Oh no it's Monday morning and I'm still here! I look around searching for a clock. I've only got twenty minutes! "Are you up dear?" I hear from beneath the trapdoor, "I'm coming in." I quickly scoop up Marinette in my arms and jump up into her bed before placing her down and hiding under the covers. "Marinette?" Opening her eyes slightly she replies, "Yes Mama?" "Oh good you're awake. It's time to get ready." I feel a hard yank on my tail. "She's gone." "Hey! I can feel that you know." I say coming out from under the duvet rubbing my tail. "Why are you still here?" She asks. "Well I sorta fell asleep as well." "Silly Kitty."  "I'd better be off then or else I'll be late for school." "You go to school?" She ask surprised. "How old did you think I was?" "I don't know actually. I guess I'm just shocked that you'd do something so normal." She says realising she'd never really thought about it. "Well do you think Ladybug goes to school? She would have to or else how would she be so smart?" I reply chuckling, "Anyway I've really got to go now. Bye princess. Oh and nice pyjamas." I say smiling at her really short black shorts and black top with a print of green whiskers on it. I jump across the rooftops then eventually leap through my window. I land and immediately detransform. I sprint to grab my clothes before running into the bathroom. After finishing my shower I hear a knock on my door. Natalie comes in and says, "Adrien the limousine is ready to take you to school." "Yes Natalie." I answer before running down the stairs and out the front door. I'm going make Marinette feel good about herself today although I'm just not sure how to yet.

I've reached school and I hear the bell that signals there's five minutes until class. I walk quickly to my first class and not looking where I'm going bump into Marinette knocking her over. Thanks to my cat like reflexes I'm able to catch her. It looks like I'm dipping her while dancing. We stare at each other for a second before I hear a snap. "Perfect!" Exclaims Alya looking at her phone. Mari squeaks before jumping out of my arms and snatching the phone out of her hands. "Alya!" Marinette protests as her friend yanks the phone back and pushes it towards me and says, "Look at it.", before leaving. I take the phone cautiously and look down at it. In the photo Marinette and I are staring into each other's eyes while in a position that appears we're dancing, Mari even has one leg in the air. I only now realise what Marinette's wearing today. She has on a big, khaki parka coat, big boots and grey sweatpants with some cute pink mittens on. I look up and see her looking at the ground the huge hood of her parka covering her face, then she lifts her head and I see her uncertain expression. I start laughing and say, "Well Mari at least I know you would be a great dancing partner." She looks surprised then joins me in laughing. We abruptly stop when we hear the bell and race to class. When we enter we mumble our apologies for being late. Alya has moved to the front seat so I sit in the second row back. Marinette hands Alya back her phone then joins me, turning her head to face me and smiles. She looks more beautiful than usual and it suddenly hits me why as she pulls back her hood. Her hairs down! Everyone in the classroom sucks in a breath, shocked. She leans towards me and whispers, "What's going on? Why is everyone staring at me and looking shocked?" Oh sweet, oblivious Marinette. I reach up a hand and lift her hair, running it through my fingers in front of her face. An understanding look passes between us. "Oh it's not that big of a deal. It's just cold so..." she explains trailing off. "You look beautiful." I say. Marinette looks surprised. I look past her to see Chloe glaring in our direction. "It seems you've even made someone jealous." I whisper pointing at Chloe. "Oh no! She's going to be meaner to me now." Mutters Mari panicked. I'm furious. Chloe better not say one bad thing to Marinette or I swear...

It's been most of the day now and it's lunch. Nino and Alya have been sitting together to force Mari and I to but I'm not sure that's all it is. Nino has been stumbling over his words all day especially when Alya leans over, across him. We're now walking to go to Marinette's house to eat our lunch. When we are about to cross the road I hear someone screech, "Adrikins!" Alya and Nino race across the road. I put my hand on Marinette's lower back, trying to push her forward but Chloe gets to me before we can escape. "Adrikins come have lunch with me and Sabrina. Why are you hanging out with these losers? Especially touching one." She says disgusted. I look down at my hand which is still placed at the bottom of Mari's back and blush removing it. How dare she talk to Marinette like that? "Chloe the real question is why would I want to hang out with a loser like you? Why would you be so mean to Marinette?" I say loudly, finally snapping. Marinette's staring at me, shocked with her mouth agape while Chloe is looking a mix of sad, shocked and angry. Mainly angry. "But that's Maribrat. Why would you like her when you know someone like me?" She asks with a superior look. "Because Marinette's beautiful and caring. She cares about people Chlo. Just like you used to when we were little." I say desperate to get back the Chloe I new years ago. She makes a "Hmmff" sound before stomps off in a huff. I turn to Marinette who's looking at me with her eyes not quite focused. I wave my hands infront of her face. She seems to suddenly realise Chloe had left. "You didn't really mean what you said did you? I mean you were just saying that to get rid of Chloe right?" Mari mumbles shyly. "Mari! Of course I meant it. Especially the beautiful part." I say winking,letting some of my Chat Noir shine through, "Talking about beautiful have you almost finished the designs? It's better to show my father sooner rather than later. Do you need my measurements?" "Um yeah could you come over after school so I can measure you?" Asks Marinette recovering from her blush and opening the door to the bakery. "Sure!" I say excited to spend more time with her in my civilian form.
