Unravel- Miraculous Ladybug AU [discontinued]

6~ Morning Class

BAM

ANOTHER UPDATE

TAKE THAT PROCRASTINATION

*flips a table*

Anyway, I realized halfway through the day that I hadn't even started this chapter, and went into full-blown panic mode because my phone was almost dead and I needed to start writing so I could publish it with a minimum of 1,000 words.

Daily updates are actually quite fun, and I'm pretty sure I'd hate myself if I stopped now.

Well, I'm going to watch more Death Note and play Mystic Messenger now, enjoy the hastily-written chapter that — hopefully — gives you more info on the ghouls in this AU!

(This was actually originally going to be part of the last chapter, but I wanted to update yesterday so I just found a stopping point and published it)

"Are you going to explain yourself?"

"It was nothing, I swear!"

Alya was latched on to Marinette's shoulders before class began, refusing to stop pestering her until Marinette explained what she was doing with Adrien.

"Marinette, do not tell me it's nothing! You just walked into class with your crush holding your hand, do you realize how important this event is?"

Marinette let out a strangled cry, dropping her head into her hands as red spread across her cheeks, "I know," she whined, lifting her head and looking into Alya's eyes, "I told you, I was helping in the café when he came by to get coffee, and when he saw the time he offered to walk to school together. That's it, I swear!"

Alya nodded, disbelief spreading across her features, "Yeah. Sure."

It was at this time their homeroom teacher walked in, setting her things by the front desk and opening a folder to take attendance. The only one absent was Juleka, which worried Marinette slightly.

"As most of you know, there's been a steady increase in ghoul attacks lately, and though as of now there haven't been many in the area, the CCG — Commission of Counter Ghoul — has requested for schools to begin teaching students more of ghouls so that they can have an increased chance of avoiding them."

Marinette saw Adrien tense slightly in his seat, and she understood why. They'd learned about ghouls in school before, but never had an actual unit on it.

"Yes," Alya whispered excitedly, "it's about time we learned something interesting."

The ghoul simply smiled at her friend, laughing at the excitement in the girl's tone, "You'll ace this unit, Alya."

"Quiet down, class, this is a serious matter." the Mrs. Bustier called, hushing the sudden chatter that erupted in the room. "We've been provided the information that we are required to share with you all, so please pay attention. It would be a shame for any of you to get hurt because of a ghoul."

She turned on the overhead projector, and Marinette caught a snide comment coming from Chloé's area, "This is so stupid, if you don't want to get eaten then just don't go anywhere with a ghoul, simple?"

Marinette sighed, of course Chloé would think like that.

The teacher turned off the lights at the front of the room, illuminating the projector as the slideshow was pulled up.
