🌊The Storm and the After Math

Marinette's POV
The next day
I woke up to the beeping of the alarm. Wow I learned to wake up on the alarm. I got out of the bed and went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. After I dried my self with the towel and put my clothes on. I grabbed your backpack and went downstairs. My parents were just opening the bakery and setting things in place.
-Have a good mama et papa!- I said as leaving the bakery
-You too dear!- My mom said to with her cheerful smile
I walked to the school. As I walked in to the hallway Alya noticed me. She was standing with Nino and Adrien.
-Hey Guys -I said
-Hey Marinette -they said to in union.
-So What you talking about? - I asked them with my body filling curiosity because how lit up their faces were
-Nothing much. Wondering who could be the new boy. There's a rumor that he is from the US. What do you got first? - she asked me after her summary of their chat
-Art.
-Me too. So you still don't want to tell who is the new bae of yours!-she was asking with a sly smirk on her face. As she pointed out the "bae" part Nino and Adrien give a shocked look
-I don't have anyone Alya. And why you two are looking to me as   If I have killed some one. - I replied with a dash rage my tone when I said the first part and with a note of confusion on my face when said the remaining.
-We were thinking you had a boyfriend.
-And what's wrong with that.- I asked in delusion of their statement.
As we kept talking till the bell rang. Me and Alya walked into the art classroom. The teacher greeted us and started talking about the new style we would be working on. As the class went on somebody opened the door. It was a tall tan skinned brunette boy with blue eyes. He was panting.
He seemed quite familiar to me. Then it hit me. No no no no.no no. NOT HIM.
-Sorry sir I overslept. I promise it won't be repeated. - he said with the voice so familiar to me.
-If I am not wrong you are the new student,are you? - the teacher asked
-Yes it is me. I am Joe Kingsley. I came here from Brooklyn NY
-Ok Mr. Kingsley please sit down near Marinette. Ms. Dupain Cheng please stand up so Joe could know where to sit.
-Welcome Joe- I said in a voice with barely any emotions. I was flat. I stood up and he sat down. I sat back down. The class continued and me and Joe had light blush on cheeks
Alya's POV
After Joe arrived Marinette started acting weirdly and had her blushing on cheeks.
As Mr. Rousseau continued the discussion I heard a Joe whispering to Marinette's "Nice to meet you Marinette. Again." Again. Could they have met before in Brooklyn and why they are acting strange near each other. Wait maybe Joe is Marinette's new crush. She started acting the same when she had crush on Adrien. It all make sense. Right?..
Art ended and Mari started to pack.
-What's up with you? -I asked her
-Nothing gotta go. See you at lunch -she rapidly said
and left the room.
Ok there's surely something up. But what?
Joe's POV
Marinette Dupain Cheng. The last person I was hoping to see. Don't get me wrong she is nice and cute but after the thing it is kinda awkward. But now we are classmates and we have to live it somehow.
Ok Joe calm down.
I went my locker to put my backpack in it and to grab my PE clothes. I walked to the gym and entered the locker room and changed into my T-shirt and loose sweatpants. As I walk out of the locker room I notice Marinette walking out of girl's changing room.
The can't get even more awkward.
The trainer walked out his small office.
-Ok folks, This season we are going start with volleyball. For today you are going to work in pairs. I will learn how properly use the ball. I have all ready made the pairs.
He kept saying the pairs
-last but least Joe and Marinette.
Marinette walked up to me and the trainer threw us a volleyball. We started doing passes to each other.
-You know we can't keep ignoring each other for forever. Sooner or later we have to start talking like normal people do - I broke the silence between us
-I know I am just shocked and surprised to see ya. - she replied to my words
-Have you told about it to anyone?
Marinette's POV
-Nope. Well tell me how am supposed to explain it so it won't sound stupid and cringeworthy. - I answer with smile trying cover the awkwardness
-Yeah you are right. Well i guess we have to deal with it and with each other. We are classmates after all and we will see each other quite frequently and so we have break the ice or whatever you wanna call it. - Joe says with more of genuine smile.
We kept chatting about random things and doing services and passes to each other.
After the class I change back into the clothes and go to my locker to put my bags into it and grab my lunch.
As I walked Joe came and we went in with the conversation. We walked over the table where Nino, Alya and Adrien were sitting.
-Oh. I see you are with Joe - Alya said with smirk forming on her face.
-Do you mind if I sit here with you? -Joe asked my friends
-Dude it is fine - Nino said with his signature calm tone.
Joe sat down and started with his meal.
-So why do I have a feeling that you and Marinette know each other from the past. - Alya asked with sly smirk on her face.
-I know him from Brooklyn. - I said
-How exactly you two met?- she kept showering us with questions
-We met at a party. -Joe said.
-At a party?! Since when Ms. Boredom is going out on parties? - she looked at me. I rolled my eyes
-I just went to loosen myself up. - I replied at Alya's question.
-Ms. Boredom? I wouldn't have suspected that. You didn't seem that way. Like I mean you going all out. Or maybe it was the alcohol that broke your shell- Joe said with smirk.
Ughh. Even him with the teases.
-ALCOHOL?! What? When Where uhh -uhh. - alya exclaimed with confusion.
-Well let's say I didn't know what I was drinking.
-WTF! Where is the Marinette Dupain-Cheng that I know? - she give even more confused look.
-Alya give Marinette a break from your questions. -Adrien said
-Thanks Adrien. - I thanked him and gave him a smile
-Well Joe tell about yourself a bit more?
-Well I am 17 and from Brooklyn,New York. I can play on guitar and kinda can sing. You can call loner. I am not the most talkative person on the planet. Yep so it is pretty much me.
-Oh you play on guitar and you can sing. Give the school talent show a try.- Adrien suggested
-Yeah I'll think about. -Joe said
-Marinette you are into the loner musician type? Something new.
-Huh? - I burst out
-Well for sure it seems like you two are more than friends. Are you? -Alya said with return of her infamous smirk.
Me and Joe had blush brushing over our cheeks. We both went silent. Alya's smirk got even bigger.
-I'll that as YES. -she said
-I'm done. I gotta to French see y'all - me and Joe said in union. We glanced at other and blushed even more.
-Why you two are always running from the topic. There nothing to be ashamed of. If you 2 dated and it didn't work out it doesn't mean you have run from this all together.
Me and Joes blush faded right after that phrase. We gave each other a confused look and then turned to Alya.
-Me and Joe have never dated. - I say with my brows curled up
-So my theories were wrong. So then why are you running a mile away from this theme? — Alya asked us with more tamed smile.
-As mentioned earlier, I gotta go. - I say. Me and Joe grab our lunches and walk away. Our walk was silent. Yeah, breaking this ice is not easy.
I grab my binder and my pencil case and went to the classroom.
Thank the fucking God I don't French with Alya or she would make me loose my sanity.
I took my seat as Mrs. Rousseau walked in and started the lesson. That day we had a discussion about the book from summer reading assignment. It was pretty easy. At least for me because Joe was sure struggling.
-Ms. Dupain-Cheng could you tutor Mr. Kingsley and help him with his essay. If his works will get better you will get your grade raised too. -Mrs. Rousseau gave a task
-Sure sir. -I said
Few minutes after the class ended. I packed things up and went to the math classroom. Unfortunately, Alya was with me in this class which meant I will be having a questioning from her about me and Joe. I noticed Joe was also in the class too. I guess we identical schedules or something.
I sat in my place and turned on music to chill. Few minutes have passed from the bell and one the school administrators walks in.
-Mr.Capello is on a conference and won't be able to come to class on time. He will be here in 30 minutes. Til that, stay quite. - the administrator said and left the room.
After the news, Alya walked up to the teacher's desk and looked at us with a cheerful smile.
-Ok folks we have half of the period free. So why not spare the time on my favorite game -Truth or Dare? -Alya said.
Most of the class agreed to play. We all sat down on the floor. The game started, few dares and truths were made. After Alya had done her dare from Kim, she spun the bottle and it landed on me. Why of all people me? I knew Alya's commands were quite annoying and sometimes were meant to put the person into a uncomfortable place. Especially her dares. Ok Truth it is.
-So my dear BFF, Truth or Dare?- she asked me with a vicious smirk.
-Truth. -I said with hoping for something forgiving.
-Why you and Joe are acting weird around each other? Especially when comes to the topic of you two dating? -said with even more viciousness in her smirk.
I take deep a deep breath and look over to Joe. Why the heck I forgot that she could pull this question?
Ok calm down Marinette. Well I gotta tell the deal. It can't hide forever.
-Well. Remember I told you about the party where I got drunk?
-The one where you and Joe met.
-Well Joe got drunk too. We chatted. One thing lead to another, and we ended up -ended up hooking up with each other. -I said and everyone looked at me and Joe with the most confused and shocked looks. While me and Joe were blushing heavily.
-Oh. My. God. -Alya said with a quite voice.
-Wait up so the person who we thought was the definition of innocence wasn't so innocent after all. -Nino tried to break the awkward silence.
Out of nowhere I burst into laughter.
-Now I think about it, it is so goddamn cringeworthy. Like I fucked a boy on accident, thought I never will meet him again after leaving Brooklyn,but he turns out to be the new student in our school. And now this. Wow my life's fucked up. - say through the laughter.
After that Joe starts to laugh with me.
-Ok well the shit is out. Let's move on. Mari spin the bottle. -he said after stop the laughing.
I was about spin the bottle when Mr. Capello walked into.
-Sit down on seats please. I have to quickly explain the topic in less than 10minutes. - he said as he sat on his desk. He explained the topic and gave us some exercises for homework. The bell rang and I went to my locker to put my jacket on. I left the school and headed home. As I was walking to my house I noticed that Joe was following me.
-Are you stalking me now? - I asked him with a raised brow.
-Nope. I going to the house of friends of my parents. Me and my parents were invited there for dinner. They own "The Tom and Sabine Bakery". Do you know where is it? I am still not used to Paris. - he said.
-Are you kidding or something? - I asked him.
-Why I would?- Joe looked confused.
-The Tom and Sabine Bakery is bakery owned by my family which my parents invited your fam over and the conclusion is you are going to my place. - I explained him
-Oh.- he said.
-Follow me. -I said to him.
As we walked to my house we talked and joked around. Mostly about out messed up relationships. When entered the bakery we saw our parents talking.
-Hello Mr. and Mrs. Kingsley. - greeted Joe's parents. Joe did the same but to my parents.
-Hello Marinette. -they answered
-Honey I see you and Joe have already met each other. - my dad says.
-Yup we met back in Brooklyn and it turns out that he is one my classmates. - I said.
-Ok even better. Let's go start the dinner. - my mother said gestured to all of us. I put my jacket on a cloth hanger and gestured to Joe to do the same.
Then we all went to dining room where The was table with tons of delicious meals ready to be eater. We all sat down and started to eat
