Tales of Ladrien ✔️

11 | Pound it!

Marinette's POV

"I KNEW IT!!" yelled Ayla, she pointed at me and jumped off the couch.

"What? You knew? Do you know who Chat is?" if she knows about me then she must have figured out who Chat is.

"No, but now that it is official that you're  Ladybug then you can tell me who Chat is," she squealed.

"No Ayla, I wasn't even supposed to tell you."

"Then why did you?" Alya was now sitting back down on the couch, was it a mistake to tell her who Ladybug was?

"It was supposed to make you understand what happened with the talk with Adrien, he knows who I am," I looked down and started playing with my hands.

"Wait so Adrien knows who you are? Did you tell him before me?!" her voice broke at the last couple of words.

"What, no. He found out."

"Oh, wait-oh yea. You guys talked about that night, the night where he told Ladybug is liked her. That means he likes you!!!! This is awesome Mari, now that Adrien knows who you are and he likes Ladybug that means he likes you!! How are you not jumping for joy?"

"Adrien likes Ladybug, Adrien doesn't like Marinette. I let him down Alya."

"No you didn't. Adrien is a nice guy, if he likes Ladybug then he'll like Marinette," Alya said rubbing my back trying to comfort me.

"No he won't Ladbug is brave and bold. I'm shy and clumsy. If anything he belongs with Chloe, she's certainly bold," I scoffed.

"Mari-" before Ayla could finish Tikki popped out of Marinetters purse.

"You are so much better than Chloe. You've seen firsthand how rude, obnoxious, and arrogant she is," Tikki said.

"Exactly, it-," Ayla said pointing to Tikki, "-is right."

"I'm not an "it" I'm a kwami," Tikki said backing herself up.

"Right, she is what makes me Ladybug," Marinette speaking up, "Ayla this is my kwami Tikki, and Tikki this is my best friend Alya."

"Nice to meet you Tikki. Do you know who Chat Noir is?" asked Ayla. She really is persistant on finding out who Ladybug and Chat is.

"As a matter of fact I do, I talked to his kwami not too long ago."

"Is Chat Noir someone who goes to our school just like Marinette?" Alya asked again trying to get clues on who he is.

"Yes, the same age as you two. But that is all I'm saying about who Chat is," Tikki said.

"Adrien that party was awesome, you should let your old man let you do that more," Nino said patting Adrien on the back.

"Glad you had fun Nino," Adrien said looking up at his best friend.

"Why so down man? What happened, I barley saw you at the party."

Nino looked at Adrien and saw his expression, I guess he didn't really want to talk to Nino about what went down at the party.

"Mari stop eavesdropping on his and Nino's conversation and just talk to him. He said he loved you no matter what, that's gotta mean something to you," Ayla said pulling me away from listening in on Adrien and Nino.

"Don't worry Ayla. I'll do it, later," at least I think I'll do it later, now is just not a good time with being in school right now.

"Ok, just don't forget to do it."

Miss. Bustier walked in, "Sorry I'm late again, why don't we just get started on those projects. If you guys need help just ask."

Oh no, I completely forgot about the project. This is gonna be a disaster, why oh why did I get partnered up with Adrien?!?

"Mari this is your chance to talk to him!" Ayla got up and switched places with Adrien so she sat next to her partner Nino and Adrien sat next to me.

This is not gonna end well, we just need to finish this project.

"Hey Marinette," said Adrien who was getting into Ayla's seat.

"Hey Adrien, look about the party I- I didn't mean to- it's just that-" great now I was stammering like a fool again.

"It's okay Mari, we can talk about it later and work on the project now," at least he feels that way, maybe it won't be so awkward now.

We got a lot done on the project, just needed to print out a picture of the poet and type out the poem he wrote. Adrien finished up writing out what his childhood was like and I finished up with his birthday and other stuff like that.

"Pound it!" Adrien and I both said in unison fist bumping each other.

We both realized what we did. I quickly pulled my hand back and looked away, I could feel my face getting red.

"Alright class, hope you got a lot done. See you all tomorrow," Miss. Bustier announced.
