Bonjour Amour

Ch. 2- Dark Cupid

Magnolia's POV-

It was Valentine's Day and we were learning about fairy tales. After Rogercop, Hawk Moth hasn't really struck again. I came back to school and was finally formally introduced. I was sat in the back with the red-headed kid that did really good art, his name is Nathanael. I also became friends Juleka, Rose, Kim, and Max. Funny thing about meeting Kim, when I mentioned I was trained in martial arts he insisted he could beat me in a fight and, well,

"In most fairytales the prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess. Can anyone tell us why?" Miss Bustier asked us, scanning the room for volunteers.

"Because only love can conquer hate." Rose swooned and smiled. I giggled at the blonde petite girl.

"Correct Rose." Miss Bustier praised.

"Technically speaking, this reasoning is only exhibited in 87% of all fairy tales and-" Max started to ramble but was cut off.

"Thank you Max. That is enough man." I said, causing the class to giggle. Max sent me a playful glare and I simply winked jokingly in return

I looked to the front and noticed that Marinette was looking over Adrien's shoulder, trying to read what he was writing. He told me yesterday that he wanted to confess his love to Ladybug, who obviously was sitting behind him. No it's not Alya. Marinette is so obviously Ladybug that I almost screamed. But Miss Bustier noticed that Adrien was not looking at her, nor the board.

" Adrien, I hope what you're writing has to do with my lesson." She approached him as Marinette gasped, "Can you tell me what I just said?"

"That's why in most fairy tales the prince breaks the spell by kissing the princess because only love conquers hate." He said without looking up, impressing most of the class.

Miss Bustier dismissed the class and I started to pack up my stuff.

"You coming, Blaise?" Juleka asked me, standing with Nathaniel and Rose, waiting. Juleka, Rose, Alix, and Nathan were the only ones who called me Blaise.

"I'll catch up." I said, my eyes fixed on the other two people in the class. Marinette and Adrien.

Adrien continued writing for a moment before giving up and throwing it away. He started walking out of class so I rushed to join him.

"Hey Adri." I gave him that nickname when we were kids, and he would only ever let me call him that.

"Hey Mags." He replied, looking disappointed.

"You'll get it right one day." I rested my hand on his shoulder as we exited the class.

"Hi Adrien, sign here please." The brat Chloe said and she held up a rolled piece of paper.

"Oh, come on, you know I hate signing autographs, Chloe." He sighed, looking uncomfortable.

"Oh, that's not what this is. This is a petition against cruelty to hamsters. Have you seen some of the ugly sweaters they are forced to wear? It's appalling." She dramatically said.

"Yeah right. You doing something for someone other than yourself. Fat chance, Bourgeois." I scoffed, turning to Adrien, "See you later Adri. I gotta go meet up with my other friends"

I glared at the blonde female and then headed down to the courtyard, waving at Alya as I passed.

"Hey Blaise, You okay? Your face is red." Juleka asked when I sat on the stairs with them.

"Chloe." I simply said.

They nodded and one by one they hugged me. First Rose, then Juleka, next Alix, and finally Nathaniel. I strangely turned as red as his hair as he wrapped his arms around me. We detach ourselves from the other and I noticed Marinette and Alya walking out of school.
