My Spirit's Strength || ✔️

Chapter 2

~•~

A month and some weeks has passed, and almost the same thing happened to me just like last year, but it was less worse and I'm thankful for that. But what's happening to me now can't be anything far more worse..

"Haha! You are so clumsy MariTRASH!" Chloe, my enemy slash rival, mocked me, laughing with her friend Sabrina. I was just walking up to my other friends Juleka, Rose, and Alix without doing anything when I felt something that made me trip and fall face flat on the floor.

"Are you okay Marinette?!" I heard Rose's voice gasp as she went closer to me and helped me up, I nodded and smiled weakly at her "yeah, thanks Rose" I replied before finally standing back up to my feet, facing Chloe "what do you want, Chloe?" I sternly said, the words coming out of my gritted teeth, clenching my fists. She snickered and clicked her tongue before rolling her eyes at me "just leave my Adrikins, alone!!" She bossily shouted, turning her back against me and walked away like as if she's queen.

"Tch, that girl has some issues.." Alix said, crossing her arms to herself. I sighed, agreeing to the fact that other than her being my rival, she's probably the most irritating girl in the whole school! Not to mention that she's a half-blood and, obviously, is at the same house as me.

"Just forget about her Mari, let's just go" Juleka said, patting my back to which I just nodded and left with the three of them. At least I have them as friends.

=^=^=

I felt as if the days were faster, and my hopes of finding my Patronus was disappearing. I sighed as I walked to my next class which is, unfortunately, Defence Against the Dark Arts. But thankfully, we were given an activity that we, the third graders, will teach the first graders a few simple spells that we have learnt, which is easy enough.

I got to Class 3C ten minutes early, when I walked in, all eyes were on me and I wasn't surprised when all of them greeted me as I politely greeted them back. I had that attention for three years now, other than the fact that I'm one of the witches who rarely got into the Slytherin's house as a muggle-born, I was said to be the most unique Slytherin of them all, surprising me a lot.

I was about to take a seat somewhere when I heard someone call me "hey Mari! Over here!" And I kinda forgot that Adrien was at the same class as me, my head immediately shot back to his direction and saw him giving me a grin and a small wave. I didn't mean to notice but, half of the class figured out that I had a crush on him while the other half, just thinks that we look cute together, making me flustered.

Once I was seated next to Adrien he showed a warm smile and patted my head "hey Mari, how's looking for your Patronus doing?" He asked, I shifted a bit uncomfortable of that question because I haven't found it yet, sadly. "B-but it's alright if you don't answer that! I-I really shouldn't have botheredyouwith..." he stammered, continuing his uncontrollable but, funny words, making me giggle at his cute tomato face.

I giggled so much, Adrien stopped flabbergasting and I stopped giggling. But once I stopped, his eyes were locked onto mine as the smile on his face grew wider and brighter, I couldn't help but shyly cover my mouth in embarrassment. And then it was his turn to laugh "oh Marinette..you are forever and grately adorable!" He exclaimed as he, surprisingly, gently pinched my cheeks "don't flatter me, Agreste" I playfully grunted, raising my chin and closing my eyes but taking a peek at his chuckling face.

"Yeah, yeah..but, seriously though, if you have trouble finding your Patronus, I'd be glad to help you out" Adrien said, making my heart jump in happiness, seeing that he cares for me. I sighed in content as a smile formed on my lips "thanks Adrien, I really appreciate it..but, I think I do need some help and..you wouldn't mind being the person to help me?" I nervously and shyly asked, keeping my hands at the top of my lap, fidgeting with my fingers. But all of my nervousness faded away when he nodded confidently "of course Marinette!" He happily accepted.
