Miraculous Ladybug - Underwater Kiss

Evilistrator

Marinette Pov

I slowly open the classroom door and creep inside. Everyone starts watching me.

"Marinette, I would love it if you could be on time just once," Mrs. Bustier said, without turning around.

"Sorry," I mumbled, heading over to my seat. The teacher started teaching again once I sat down. I catch Adrien's eye. Oh my gosh, that was so embarrassing! He probably thinks I'm a fool!

I glance over at Alya who was staring at the back of Nino's head dreamily. She seemed to have a thing for him (Obviously...) for a while now.  She never really talks to me about him. And she's a pushy, bossy type of person. She must really have a thing for him. 

I'm currently exhausted. I spent most of the night patrolling and only got about 2 hours of sleep. I lazily get up from my bed, change, and go down for breakfast. 

"Morning sweetie!" My mom greets me. "Where's dad?" I ask, looking around for my dad. "He's down at the bakery working, we've been getting many customers lately" She answers. I think for a moment. We have been getting many customers. I wonder why. 

I grab a waffle, grab my backpack, and run out of the bakery to the school. 

I'm gonna be late again! I speed up, arriving at school. Pretty ironic how the school is right beside the bakery but I'm always late.

Once I arrive to my class, I see that I'm pretty early. Earlier that Alya. That's never happened before. Strange (Wow, what a first). I walk over to Nathaneal who was sketching in his sketchbook. 

"Hey, Nath!" I exclaim, waving. "H-hey Marinette," Nathaneal stutters. Everyone knows he has a crush on me, but I really can't return his feelings. My heart is saved for someone else. 

"Marinette," he says sternly. "Yes?" (Here it comes) "Canyougooutwithme?" He asked so quickly I barely understood what he was asking. 

"I'm so sorry Nath, but I can't. I already like someone else." I say, guilt in every word. He swallowed. "It's fine, I shouldn't have asked. Sorry for bothering you," he says. He goes back to his drawing.

I walk back to my desk, staring down. not realizing the three faces looking at me with confusion.

Adrien Pov

My limo stops by the school. I notice Alya and Nino chatting by the school entrance, Marinette not in sight. 

I leave the limo and wave to my driver (I would feel bad for calling him Gorilla, so I won't. It's rude). "Hey guys," I greet Nino and Alya. "Yo dude" Nino greets. "Hey Adrien" Alya waves, "Have you guys seen Mariennete anywhere?" "No, I haven't" I answer. She's probably late again. Nino shakes his head. "Hmm, probably late again, we might as well just head in," Alya beckons.

As we head in the class, we see Marinette speaking with Nathaneal, both looking upset and guilty. What's going on? I look over to Nino and Alya to see that they're just about as confused as I am. 

Marinette soon walks over to her desk. She sits down, drops her head onto the desk into her arms, groaning.

"Mari! What happened?" Alya hurried over to Mari. 

Chloe comes over to us. "She probably got rejected or something," Chloe said in her high pitched voice. I've seen how Chloe acts around others, and I don't like it. She's always bullying Marinette. "Go away Chloe," Alya claimes. "Whatever," Chloe mumbles. 

Marinette raises her head, redfaced. "Nathaneal asked me out, but I rejected him because I liked someone else. I feel so bad right now," she explained, on the verge of tears. 

"Oh girl, it's ok. You did the right thing. You stood up for your feelings." Alya comforted. "But I feel so bad!" Marinette groaned once again. 

I'm not sure why, but I feel kind of relieved that Marinette rejected Nathaneal. I shouldn't be thinking that! It's rude! The teacher comes in the classroom and starts class. I notice Nathaneal asking if he can go to the bathroom in the middle of class. As he passes by, I notice tears running down his face, and a red face. I feel bad all of the sudden. I brush the feeling away (Wow, how rude). Class continues.

We hear a crash outside. People gasp and complain. Then I hear it, someone yelling: "MARINETTE! COME TO ME," It sounded like Nathaneal. No, it can't be. Did he really get Akumatized? 

People start screaming. I turn around to see Marinette panicking, red-faced. I frown. I don't enjoy seeing my friends upset like that. 

I slip out of the class without anyone noticing. I call Plagg out. He groans. I roll my eyes. "I'm getting cheese after this," he complains. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Claws out!" I transform. 

Guys, I'm so sorry for that long wait! Even though no one is probably reading this. How was your Halloween? Did you guys go trick or treating? Who did you dress up as? Anyways, I'm trying to update but I'm just really busy with school. I really wanna keep writing. I also wanna write a new story once I'm done with this one. You guys got any ideas? Please lemme know if you do. I'll start working on the next chapter as soon as I can.

I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter!
