Marinette/Ladybug's P.O.V.

I woke up that morning with a feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. After a reminder from Tikki and Taki, me and Marin bolted up and got ready quickly then met in the hallway.

"Is it just me or does it feel like something big and bad is gonna go down today?" Marin asked me as we each grabbed a croissant and our lunch sacks and ran out the door.

"Definitely not," I responded nervously, "it gets worse the closer we get to school." I finished as we arrived at the front doors in the nick of time. I saw Alya waiting at the front door with a look of uneasy anticipation on her face.

The moment Marin and I showed up, it went from uneasy to panic. She ran up to us and started talking so fast I couldn't understand a word.

"Woah! Woah Alya! Easy girl! Now, what exactly did you just say?" Asked Marin calmly as Alya took a deep breath and said it slower.

"Sabrina recorded our conversation from the café yesterday and showed it to Chloe, who plans to use it to blackmail you!" She exclaimed in tears as I froze. She didn't know about my being Ladybug, but now she DID know about my HUGE crush on Adrien.

"ALYA!" I panicked, running in circles, "What're we gonna do!?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it," Marin assures, getting ready to storm over to Chloe.

"No," I said, holding it an arm, "this is something I have to do,"

He nodded disappointingly as C'aira and Connor came over, hand in hand. Marin's face twitched in jealously but I was happy to say that he accepted and respected her choice of Connor over him.

The school bell rang and I uneasily walked inside.
