The Reveal 🦋

2 days

In the Dupain Cheng household
Sabine and Alya are in the kitchen
Alya: How has she been?
Sabine: I don't know honey, she's been locked in her room for 2 days now
Alya: Do you mind if I try to go talk to her?
Sabine: Go ahead
Alya walks towards Marinette's bedroom door, she then knocks on it
Alya: Marinette? Can I come in

A few seconds later
In Marinette's room
Ladybug: Spots off
Tikki: That was a rather fast akuma battle
Marinette walks towards her bed, she then places her head on her pillow
Tikki: Marinette, do you want to talk about it?
Marinette: I'd rather not Tikki, but thank you
Alya continues to knock on the door
Marinette: Mom I already told you-
Alya: Marinette, I know you hear me, please let me in
Marinette sighs, she then opens the door
Alya: I didn't think you'd open the door
Marinette: I didn't I would either
Alya enters, she then looks around the room
Alya: You left the pictures up
Marinette: I couldn't bring myself to take them down
Alya: Talk to me Marinette, holding your feelings inside won't help you
Marinette: Well I've been fine these past 2 days
Alya: Sure, but tomorrow's Monday, meaning you'll see Adrien tomorrow , especially because you're parters for Ms.Bustiers project, are you ready to see him tomorrow?
Marinette: I'll be fine Alya
Alya: Whatever you say
Alya: So do you want to watch a movie or something?
Marinette smiles
Marinette: Sure

The next morning in Adrien's bedroom
Adrien: *sigh* Morning already
Plagg: I'm sorry about Marinette
Adrien: It's okay, really
Adrien slowly puts all his belongings in his bag
Plagg: Cheer up kid, besides now you have a chance with Ladybug
Adrien looks at Plagg confused
Plagg: Too soon..
Adrien: I admit in the past I had a crush on Ladybug, but with Marinette .. it was different , and I was happy with her
Adrien: And Ladybug already said she had a boyfriend
Plagg: *whispers* Not anymore
Adrien: Let's go Plagg
Plagg flies into Adrien's bag

At the school
Lila: Hey Max, get my books from my locker
Max: Of coure Lila
Max runs towards Lila's locker
Alya: He's not your slave you know
Lila: Oh yes I know , he didn't have to do as I said.. but he did anyway
Alya starts to get angry
Lila: Aw, what's wrong Alya
Alya: They'll all know the truth about you soon
Lila: I'm sure they will, but until then I suggest you stay out of my way
Alya: And if I don't

Marinette walks towards Alya
Marinette: Hey Alya, why don't we get going to class
Alya: But-
Marinette: Now Alya
Marinette and Alya walk away. Lila starts laughing

In Ms.Bustier's class
Marinette sits with Alya and Adrien sits with Nino
Ms Bustier: Good morning class, get with your partners and begin working. You'll have the entire class period to work
Alya: I have to go work on the project with Nino, will you be okay?
Marinette: *smiles* I'll be fine, I promise
Alya: Good luck girl
Alya walks away
Adrien takes a deep breath, he then walks towards Marinette
Adrien: H-Hey
Marinette: Hey
Adrien sits down next to her
Marinette: We better get started since we're behind
Adrien: Yeah..
Marinette: Well our assignment is on William Blake so I guess we should start with looking up his background history
Marinette pulls her tablet
Adrien: Hey you remember that time we had dinner at your place
Marinette: What?
Adrien: *giggles* And you're dad made me help him make crossiants, which ended up being a big mess
Marinette places her tablet down
Marinette: Adrien what are you doing
Adrien: I just-
Marinette: I thought I would be fine working on this assignment with you but I can't, it's too much
Adrien: Marinette wait-
Marinette: I'm sorry
Marinette walks out of the classroom
Ms Bustier: Where does she think she's going?!
Lila raises her hand
Lila: I'll go after her ma'am
Alya: No you wont, I will
Adrien: No I will
Ms Bustier: It's sweet you all want to be there for Marinette but Lila asked first
Alya: What? Lila is the last person Marinette wants to see
Ms Bustier: Fine, you both can go
Alya: Thank you
Lila rolls her eyes. The two of them then exit the classroom
