BLIND LOVE

New friends and foes

Marinette's PoV
It's been a week since Gabriel Agreste got caught. But there's still akumas...there's someone out there that stole the miraculous! Adrien and I have been determined to find the new Hawkmoth.
I walk downstairs and see a familiar person.
"BRIDGETTE?!"
Bridgette Cheng, my cousin through my mom's side. Her father is mom's brother! Her mother is french.
"Marinette!" Bridgette squeals, hugging me tight.
I squeal, "what are you doing here?"
"We just moved here! Another bonus, I'm going to your school!"
I excitedly say, "oh my gosh, wait until you meet all my friends!"

(Meanwhile...)
Adrien's PoV
Walking downstairs, my jaw drops as I see my cousin, Felix.
"Felix! What are you doing here?"
"Mom wanted to be with aunt Emilie so we moved her recently," he states slightly coldly.
"Hmmm...ok..."I suspiciously say.
"Oh, and I'm going to your school now-"
"What?!...Felix, my friends hate you-"
"I don't need friends Adrien..."

Arriving at school, I see Marinette with another girl that looked similar to her

"Hey princess!" I hug Marinette. She smiles.
"Adrien, this is my cousin, Bridgette, she moved her from China!"
I laugh, "what a weird coincidence! My cousin, Felix, he just moved here to-"
I motion at Felix but Mari exclaims, "YOU. YOU ARE A LITTLE-"
"PRINCESS!" I exclaim, shocked. She glares at my cousin, who rolls his eyes. At the same time, Marinette's cousin was checking out my cousin.
"Can I help you?" Felix asks.
Blushing, she shakes her head, "nope, I'm good!"
Marinette sighs, "come on you two, come meet our friends-"
"I'm good, thank you," Felix says.
"...ok? Come on Bridgette!" Marinette excitedly drags her away.
I turn to Felix, "why won't you come-"
"Adrien, friends are a waste of time-"
"No they're not Felix, if you had any then you would know...which is why I'm offering to you to join us!"
Felix groans as I look at him with puppy dog eyes, "fine..."

We walk over and everyone glares at Felix.
"Guys, calm down!" Bridgette giggles, "he seems like a nice person!"
Felix hums and scoffs, "I told you I shouldn't have come-"
"Felix!"
Everyone watches him sit down and they nervously shuffle away from him.
"Guys," I say warningly.
They sigh, "he has to explain himself first..."
Looking at Felix, I smile as he says, "I was jealous..."
"And?" I ask.
"And what? That's it, I was jealous of you and your perfect life. And I was mad that you didn't come to my dad's funeral, is that good enough for you?" Felix stands up and walks away. I am about to follow him when Marinette takes my hand and shakes her head. I sigh and nod. He then walks back and humphs as he crosses his legs.
"What's up?" I ask.
"I don't know where I'm going so I may as well stick with you..." he rolls his eyes as I smile.
Bridgette then breaks the awkward silence, "umm, so! What kind of things are you all into?"
Our friends go through all their hobbies.
"I love blogging! I own the ladyblog!" Alya smiles.
"I live for DJing!" Nino says cooly.
"Me and Marc write and draw comics together!" Nathaniel proudly states
"Nathaniel does the art, I just write..." Marc shyly whispers.
"I love music!" Rose squeals.
"Me too!" Ivan quietly adds.
"Me three!" Luka says in a cool tone.
"And I am all about saving the environment!" Mylène boldly says.
"I want to model," Juleka shyly says.
"I want to code games in the future!" Max says as he pushes up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"I wouldn't mind being an assistant, it makes me feel helpful..." Sabrina giggles, "or maybe a geographer..."
"I love art!" Alix says.
"And I love sport!" Kim poses.
Bridgette giggles, "Marinette? Adrien?"
Marinette smiles and I proudly watch her say, "I love designing, you know that Bridgette!"
"I know, I know, Adrien?"
"I like doing whatever my lady wants..."
Everyone coos and Marinette playfully slaps me. I chuckle.
"And Chloe, what about you?"
Chloe gulps, "umm, I, don't really, um, know..."
Luka catches her look and she sadly looks down. We all sigh, "Chloe, just tell her..."
"Ugh, fine, I like theatre and music..."
Felix scoffs and Chloe glares, "what about you, Felix?"
Felix stutters, "w-well, um, maybe something to do with um, engineering?"
"Ok..." Chloé turns to Bridgette, "what about you?"
Bridgette giggles and stands up, "I love, to dance!"
Everyone gasps as she does some popping and locking.
"Wow..." we all say. She blushes, "I actually moved here because I got signed onto a dance cover company here in France, they do covers, freestyle, oh, and they choreograph dances for other songs, like pop."
"That's so cool Bridgette!" I beam.
She giggles, "thanks Adrien!"
Felix sighs, "can you just show me to the classroom..."
"Sure thi-Lila?!"
Everyone turns and gasps at the sight of her.
"You! You teamed up with Hawkmoth, didn't you?"
She flails her hands up, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Everyone rolls their eyes and I pull Felix upstairs to the classroom.
"You can sit next to Bridgette, since those are the only two seats free-"
"Can't I sit with Marinette-"
"NO!"
He chuckles, "relax, I'm just kidding!"
I sigh and sit next to Marinette.
"Excuse me Marinette, I need to sit there please."
"Why Lila?"
"My um earache is back so I need to sit at the front-"
"And do you have a note for that, or is this just another of your millions of lies?"
Lila angrily glares at Marinette, "Marinette, I swear to god, I'm going to get back at you and ruin your life..."
She pulls out...
"THE BUTTERFLY BROACH?!" I exclaim, shocked.
Nooroo, the kwami, flies out and I worryingly nod at him.
"Nooroo, dark wings, rise!"
Nooroo screams, "NOOOOOO..."
"Nooroo!" I exclaim.
Everyone turns to me and Lila laughs, "how do you know his name-"
"You just said it Lila!" She exclaims.
Lila glares, "I'm out of here! My name is now Vendetura!"
"Lila, no!"
"SHUT UP! All of you! I will take you as my prisoners!"
She taps her staff on the floor and me and Marinette run out and hide.
"Tikki, spots on!"
"Plagg, claws out!"
