Miraculous Oneshots and Drabbles

Akuma Alert (Commission)

The sound of the bell rang, alerting the students that their lunch break had come to an end.

Alya and Marinette gathered up their things, still in the middle of conversation as they headed towards the classroom for their next lesson.

Some of their classmates were already piling into Miss Bustier's classroom, others trailing not too far behind Alya and Marinette.

"All these akumas lately have been annoying but, in a way, worth the hassle," Alya commented as the two girls walked through the doorway. "My blog ratings have been higher than ever in the past week."

Marinette let out a sigh of frustration at the thought of all the akuma attacks from within the past few days. There had been four within the past week, and Marinette was already starting to feel the impact of missing so much school time.

She discreetly crossed her fingers, hoping that she wouldn't end up receiving even more homework to add to her seemingly endless list of things to do.

"I feel bad for Ladybug and Chat Noir, though," Alya continued, a look of concern etched on her face. She couldn't bear the thought of them getting too hurt to defend the city.

"Let's just hope that Hawkmoth has decided to take the day off today." Marinette responded as the two girls sat down. Alya nodded at her in agreement and crossed her fingers, Marinette copying the action.

"Good afternoon, students." Miss Bustier greeted as the walked into the room, her usual radiant smile adorning her face.

The English lesson started like any other lesson. They opened their copies of the novel they were currently studying and began to focus on a certain scene, discussing their thoughts on the inferences that could be made from certain words or phrases.

A small spark of light and a high pitch noise suddenly came from the intercom, startling the students and causing them to cover their ears in an attempt to stop the deafening noise.

"Akuma alert. Akuma alert," a mundane voice began to repeat over and over again, the sound echoing throughout the room.

Ever since Marinette's entire class (apart from her and Adrien) had been akumatised, the school had introduced an alert system that caused a monotonal voice to repeat the same two words over and over again for about a minute.

It was installed in every classroom and the push of a button- one that was hidden inside every single room within the large building as well as one in the courtyard that everyone had forgotten the location of -was what triggered the alarm to go off.

Marinette let out a loud groan of frustration as soon as she heard the words blast out of the intercom. Was a break from fighting akumas for one measly day too much to ask for? So much for having good luck.

Marinette really fancied punching Hawkmoth in the face right now and from the looks on her classmate's faces, she wasn't the only one.

A sigh escaped Miss Bustier's lips as she placed the chalk back on her desk. "Come on, students. You know the drill."

A myriad of sighs and groans echoed through the room as Miss Bustier flicked off the lights and the students huddled behind the desks furthest away from the door.

They'd all been through this routine too many times before, something that they wished they didn't need to do.

"This isn't going to work." Alya whispered, shaking her head as a sigh escaped her lips. She moved her legs so that her feet were flat on the ground and knees close enough that she could rest her head upon them.

Marinette could see the brave girl's desire to face the danger in her hazel eyes. She knew that Alya hated having to hide away instead of being able to enjoy her passion for reporting.
