Marinette entered through the excessively large doors to familiar faces buzzing around to tell each other what they did over the long break. She took a deep breath.
Day 1 of school with Tikki. This is going to be interesting, especially since I'm a terrible liar, She thought. She started walked towards her class greeting some of her classmates as she passed by. She knew her friends were in class. She was excited to see some of them, scared to see others.
When Marinette is upset she like to be alone. Adrien as asked of, gave Marinette space when he learned her great grandmother died. Alya on the other hand, got mad. She said she was acting discourteous she should be think about how she treating others. Marinette didn't know how she want it to go with Alya, she want to apology and have her friend back but also believe that she had nothing to apologize for.
She walked to the class door and looked into her purse Tikki was tapping on her phone, playing a game. In the loud halls in would be easier to hide a kwami reacting to everything happening around her but she had to sort thing out with Alya, so slowly she turned the knob. She entered the class, the teacher often came in last minute so she didn't hear what they were talked about. She look to her right, she saw Alya texting at a desk a few feet away from her face. In the back corner Chloe held a small mirror out in front of her and put mascara on making kissy faces as doing so. Form behind her a hand grabbed her shoulder shocking Marinette. She turned around to look the person touching her in the eye.
"Hey, are you ok? Adrien said he removed his hand and took a step back. "I can give you more time if you need it."
"I'm better now, thanks." Marinette replied softly.
"It's horrible to lose a close relative, I'm sorry you had to go through that as well." He pulled her into him hugging her with one hand drawing circles on her back with another as she rest her head on his shoulder.
Ok, maybe Marinette like his comfort when grieving better that being alone. She closed her eyes happiness bubbled inside her. Suddenly she felt two hand push her out of his grasp her left side hit the floor.
"Adrikins, not gonna say you love your baby?" Chloe came from the back of the classroom kissed Adrien cheek wrapped her arms around his neck and rolled out the word baby as she spoke it.
"Chloe, I'm with Marinette now. Why can't you except that?" Adrien voice getting slightly louder as he tried to control his anger. Marinette had pushed herself off the ground and dusted herself off. She open her mouth to talk back to Chloe when Alya grabbed her elbow to bring them away form the two blonds arguing.
Alya held her wrist loosely so she would keep her attention on on the spunky friend. "Girl I haven't see you in forever." She wrapped her arms around Marinette's still body, patting her on the back as she hugged.
"Y-you're not mad?" Marinette stutter out.
"Past is past," Alya replied. Marinette looked back at her boyfriend and enemy arguing about her relationship with him, she wanted to go over there and stand up for herself and him.
"Oh relax, he has it under control. Let's just talk like we did before Adrien was in your life." She grabbed her arm and practically threw her in her seat before she had time to object. So the girls sat and eased into a conversation for a few minute until the bell rang. The teacher slid though the door just as the bell rang. She organized the papers she was holding then started introducing today's lesson.
In the middle of class Marinette looked in to her purse to check on the oddly quiet kwami. Tikki was startled, she searched almost looked like she was trying to find something hidden in class. The kwami not noticing Marinette peeking at her, started floating to the top of her purse to peek her head out through the gap. Marinette franticly dove to her side using her palms to cover the top of the kwami's red head and causing her to topple on to the floor in the process distracting the whole class. Chloe laughed covering her mouth with one hand Alya silde to Marinette side of the desk to help her up, Tikki stayed put knowing she caused trouble. The teacher scolded the teen, she apologized and sat down and later class ended for the day.
Marinette ran up to her room their Tikki flew out and float in front of Marinette. "What was that Tikki? I thought I was supposed to keep you a secret, Were you doing that before I caught you? Marinette paced the room frustrated by her kwami's actions.
"I know, but I had too see-"
"See what?" Marinette voice grew louder as she cut Tikki off.
The kwami signed and looked the teen in the eye. "Marinette, there's something I need to tell you about the miraculouses." The girl when still and silent. She grab her office chair from behind her and sat down wait patiently for the kwami to speak.
"Like I said before their are several miraculouses, nineteen to be exact. But some of the miraculous's have been lost for years.  Pass down family member to family member of Paris citizens. Us kwamis can feel the energy of each other."
"You mean some of my classmates are miraculouses holders? Why don't I hear of the other superheroes?" Marinette questioned in her seat.
Tikki carried on with her story. "A few generations ago the Hawkmoth family decide the separation of power is unfair and got greedy. He started to attack and take miraculouses from their holders in order to become the new ruler. Hawkmoth can akumatize people making heroes when needed, now he uses his power to make villains. I used to fight them, the others stay low so they are not attacked by him."
"What's the separation of power? Why doesn't he attack you?"  Asked Marinette. She was now hugging her knees as she listened to the tale told by her kwami.
"The seven miraculous we know are still in use vary in power, Hawkmoth and the turtle are the weakest. The peacock, fox and the black cat are next. The Ladybug is slightly stronger than those three and is the right hand man of the most powerful miraculous holder our queen, Queen Bee." The kwami who was pacing in midair saying this twirl when saying the queen's title." Ladybug can not become against the queen, if the family gets the queen's kwami, Ladybug will have to join their side."
"Who's the Queen Bee? Marinette again asked the kwami.
"That's what I want to show you."
