My Only Exception

Sleeping Beauty

Marinette awoke to her alarm going off on her phone. She lazily reached her hand out to find her phone to shut it off. She managed to hit her phone but it fell off the side of the bed and onto the floor. "Aghhhh" she groaned as she leaned out of her bed (as little as possible so she could stay warm under the covers) to grab the stupid thing so it would shut off. "Marinette that was your third alarm you should probably get out of bed." Said Tikki kindly. "Wait my third alarm?!" Said Marinette shooting out from under her covers "no! I'm going to be late!" She yelled as she got ready as fast as she could. "You should really be used to this by now. You're always late." Said Tikki laughing a little as Marinette ran around her room with a comb in her hair and a toothbrush in her mouth, gathering all of her school supplies. Once she was ready she raced downstairs and grabbed a quick bite to eat before running out the door hoping she would make it in time for roll call.

Lucky for Marinette by the time she got there class hadn't started yet. She quickly took her seat next to Alya and started to take out her tablet when she glanced down and saw Adrien staring at her! But as soon as Marinette noticed he quickly looked away. Was it intentional? Did she not put her clothes on the right way? Did she put her bra on the outside of her clothes again? Why was he looking at her? Marinette leaned over to Alya as asked quietly "is there something weird about me today? Like is there something in my teeth?" She asked urgently "ummm no girl you're fine, why are you so self conscious all of the sudden this isn't like you." She said leaning in. "Spill! You have something to tell me." Said alya looking into Marinette's eyes.

Marinette couldn't get anything past this girl. "I caught Adrien looking at me. What do you think that means?" She asked in a very hushed tone so Adrien wouldn't hear. Alya say and thought about it for a second then said, "he either wants to talk to you, or he is finally realizing you're a pretty girl and he is boy and boy like pretty girl." Said Alya with a silly voice and a quiet laugh to herself. "It's about time!" Alya Said when Marinette looked at her confused.

"Time for what?" Asked Nino turning around to talk with Alya. "Time for you to stop butting in on a girls conversation!" She sassed. Nino just put his hands up in surrender and turned back around to talk with Adriene.

Marinette leaned back in to continue her secret conversation, "so you think... you think Adrien... likes me?" She asked hopefully. Alya nodded her head in approval. "Oh yeah." She said. "What if you're wrong and he was just looking over here to look at a clock or something?" She asked "girl, have I ever steered you wrong?" Alya said with her usual sass. "No...not really." Marinette Said a little hesitantly. "After class just talk to him. Okay?" She said quietly. Marinette nodded and gave a pretty weak thumbs up and a half smile. Talking with Adrien was totally one of her strengths it was going to be a piece of cake.

After class Marinette took her time putting all of her things away delaying talking with Adrien as long as possible. She just snapped her backpack shut when she looked up to see none other than Adrien Agreste standing right in front of her. "Hi Marinette!" He said louder than he needed to.

It startled Marinette so much that she jumped out of her seat and made a weird dying bird noise. "AaaAHFGHHHH!" She screamed as she toppled to the floor. "Oh! Sorry! I'm so sorry, here!" Said Adrien flustered and trying to help her up off the floor. "I'm so sorry I startled you." He said once she was up standing again.

"No biggie!" Marinette Said shrugging all of it off. "So..." said Adrien slowly. "So..." Said Marinette copying him.

Her mind was racing. She so far was having a pretty normal conversation with Adrien. She gave herself a mental high five. "I... um was wondering if you wanted to maybe go on a date with me. I'll plan everything so all you have to do is show up!" He said with a smile.
