Did it always feels this good going early to school?

Probably not. But, finally, going to school relaxed, early, and surprisingly not sleep deprived is the mostest fantastic thing in the world today, well besides Adrien. I go into the school building as Alya joins my side.

"Girl, I could never think of day when you were earlier than me!" Alya says smiling warmly and hugs me.

We both turn around at the sound of a car pulling up. Adrien Agreste steps out, blonde hair styled to perfection, purple eye bags enhancing his glistening green eyes, and those frowning lips always looking so kissable. Wait, Adrien didn't look so good.

Adrien did not look like a perfect model and more of a walking zombie model.

"Wow." Alya says, "You early today and now Adrien looking like that. This has been the weirdest day ever."

"Hey!" I say trying to defend Adrien Agreste, "He doesn't look that bad."

"I know." Alya says in agreement, "But I never thought I see the day when Adrien Agreste looks so tired and... unhappy."

"Do you think he will get akumatized?" I ask Alya worriedly

Alya shrugs and says, "Looking that unhappy, Adrien should already be akumatized."

I nod solemnly and watch as Nino walks over to Adrien and tries to give him a fist bump. The fist bump goes unnoticed by Adrien. Nino turns Adrien to face him and I walk closer so I can hear their conversation. I'm not eavesdropping, I am just making sure Adrien is okay, especially since he so isn't okay.

"Are you okay, dude?" Nino asks, "I can't everything bad happening to my bro."

Adrien shrugs and says, "No and I think everything bad has already did."

"Look on the bright side, at least you're not akumatized." Nino says gently punching Adrien's shoulder.

"That is the least of my worries or problems." Adrien says numbly.

"Dude, what's wrong?" Nino asks putting his arm around Adrien.

"I have lost something." Adrien says slowly.

"What?" Nino says nodding for him to continue.

"My soul." Adrien says seriously.

"Dude, this is no time for your depressing jokes."

"Then, Nino, I desperately don't want to talk about it."

Nino hugs Adrien and says, "You can't keep this bottled-up, Adrien. It isn't good for you. I worry about you. You're my bro, and I can't bare to loose you."

"Thanks, Nino." Adrien says hugging back, "I promise no matter what happens I will be just fine."

"You better be." Nino says pointing a finger at Adrien, "Now let's talk about less depressing matters."

Nino starts leading Adrien toward my direction. I freeze up and then dart inside the school building trying to find Alya. When I catch up to Alya, the bell rings signaling us to class.

All of us head to take our seats. Mrs. Bustier stands there waiting for us as her heels tap against the ground. When we all sit attentive for Mrs. Bustier to start, but Mrs. Bustier walk over to Adrien and pulls him over to a corner. Even though Mrs. Bustier does this for privacy, I strain my ears to hear everything.

"Adrien, are you okay?" Mrs Bustier asks quietly.

"I'm fine, Mrs. Bustier." Adrien says smoothly, "Just tired is all."

Mrs. Bustier looks at Adrien and studies his face silently for a few seconds, before she says, "Would you like to go to the nurse's office or home, Adrien? You seem way too tired to be here at school today and being this tired deserves some nice sleep at home."

"I'm good." Adrien says looking straight in her eyes, "I promise I would be much happier and more rested here than I could ever be at home."

Mrs. Bustier nods solemnly and sends Adrien back to his seat. Adrien has face like he said too much, but it is quickly replaced by Adrien's calm and tired face. I stare at the back of his head as I think for a few minutes.

Clearly, whatever is wrong with Adrien Agreste has to do with something at home.

I am distracted as I go from class to class. I am being given homework that I probably would need to relearn from not paying attention. The only thing I can think about is how to make Adrien feel better.

Probably, not even a lucky charm could fix this problem that is driving my mind mad.

I couldn't bare the thought of Adrien getting akumatized. I would hate having to fight against my all time crush. I need to keep an all time watch on Adrien, so that no akuma would even try to touch him.

Again impossible, that would means being Ladybug all the time, and I knew I didn't have the time to do that. I couldn't stalk Adrien because that would be unheroic and creepy, no matter how much I want to keep Adrien Agreste safe.

The only thing I could to for Adrien is try to make him happy as Marinette.

I don't know if I could complete that correctly. I could shower him with anonymous gifts. I could try to give him encouraging words, knowing that would probably end in stutters.

The school bells rings signaling the end of the school day. I sigh as I walk away from the school building as I wave goodbye to Alya.

I need to think of something to encourage Adrien. Wait! Maybe I could ask Chat Noir, he always knew how to make me feel better even with his awful puns.

I smile. I knew I could think of something, even though it took all school day. Now, for the piles of homework I have.

If only Chat Noir could help me with this too.
