Summer Vacation (Editing and Rewriting)

Chapter Nine

"Mari! Marinette! Gurl, wake up!" Marinette, much to her dismay, was shaken awake by her best friend.

"Just a couple more minutes, Alya!" She protested, not noticing the fact that she was laying in dirt. Alya looked at Nino, not sure what to do. She looked over at Marinette's tent, just to make sure Adrien was inside as an idea popped into her mind.

"Adrien's coming." Alya, the devil, said as Marinette shot up. Marinette looked around, a little hazy. She looked down at the ground, then jumped up, brushing the dirt off of her clothes. 

"What happened?" Asked Marinette. No, scratch that. She yelled. Nino and Alya looked at each other, again, then burst out laughing as Adrien rushed out of his tent.

"What did I miss?!" Adrien's hair was all messed up, and that's when Marinette remembered what she had found out.

"You." She said, glaring at him. Alya and Nino looked up, surprised. She wasn't stuttering!!! But... she was mad at him? Why exactly? Marinette put one hand on her hip, her other hand pointing at Adrien. "You."

"Um..." Adrien chuckled nervously, stepping back warily as Marinette walked closer to him.

"WE need to talk." Marinette grabbed his ear, and pulled him into a bunch of trees.

"Okay... What just happened?" Nino looked at Alya, who was still staring at where Adrien and Marinette had stood just a couple minutes ago.

"I think my girl has gotten over her stuttering problem. WAY over."

With our "Romeo and Juliet"...

"Figured it out, then?" Adrien said, as he watched Marinette pace back and forth in front of him. She had been doing this for the past five minutes, and they both had been in complete silence.

"Shh." She glared at him. "I'm thinking." She continued pacing, until she abruptly stopped, scaring the crap out of Adrien.

This is what was going through her head:

"Okay... Adrien called me 'Princess" which is what Chat Noir calls me. So... he has to be Chat Noir! Wait... Chat Noir is Adrien? And Adrien is Chat Noir? I've had a crush on Chat Noir this whole time! And... he's been flirting with me! Well, Ladybug. But we're the same people, right? HOLD IT! What if he only likes the Ladybug side of me, and not Marinette? He'll be disappointed when he finds out I'm Ladybug. Unless... does he already know?" Marinette turned to look at Adrien and just stared at him, wondering. Adrien, very uncomfortable, tried not to make eye contact, and shifted his weight between his two feet. "No... he would be freaking out too. There's no way he already knows."

This is what was going on in Adrien's mind:

"What the crap? Why is she staring at me like that?" 

After about ten minutes of Marinette thinking, she turned back to Adrien, who immediately tensed up. "You're Chat Noir?" He nodded slowly. "Okay, then. Adrien..." She started twiddling her thumbs, suddenly nervous. Adrien raised an eyebrow in confusion. 

"I have something to confess."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!! CLIFFHANGER!!! WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT?!?!

Anyway, sorry ya guys, again, for not posting for a long time. I somehow managed to sprain my ankle this past week, and I haven't been able to do ANYTHING! I'll try to post as much as I can now that school's starting again. SCHOOL'S STARTING!!! Am I the only one excited? My school starts in a week, and I can't wait. I know this is a SUMMER story, but I'll continue writing it during the school year, since I didn't do too well updating in the summer. Thanks y'all cinnamon rolls for being so patient with me!
