Need You Here

Group Project -4

Hey guys I'm back! I hope you had a good weekend. I don't really have anything to say except that I hope you enjoy this chapter.

PS. The image above translates to- Ladybug, I love you!

Marinette's Pov-

As I swing on to my balcony at exactly 9:30, the familiar red light flashes around me, and Tikki comes out of my earrings. I climb down the black ladder and leading to my room and face plant into my pillow.

"Ughhhhh, I'm so tired." I say as roll over onto my side and pull up the covers. Tikki agrees as she joins me on my pillow. The next thing I know I'm dreaming about my future pet hamster.

********

BEEP BEEP BEE-

I groan as I turn off my alarm clock. Sitting up, I turn to look at my bed. sheets are all messed up and one of my pillows is at the foot of my bed. I quickly make my bed again, careful not to wake  Tikki. I walk across my room to the bathroom, and stand I look across my room and into my mirror. I notice I fell asleep in the same clothes that I wore yesterday, with my hair looking like a rat's mess.(AN- To quote my mother who tells me that every time I didn't brush my hair.) I groan once again, tugging my hair out of what was left of my pigtails, as I stand and continue walking towards my bathroom. I hear Tikki yawn as I turn the faucet on and brush my teeth. When I finally finish brushing my teeth and hair, I walk out of the bathroom and great Tikki and start heading towards my closet.

I shuffle through my variety of clothes searching for something to wear, but end up just picking my usual attire. A white T-shirt with flowers on the right shoulder along with my signature black jacket and pink leggings. I check the weather and decide to leave my hair down today, since it's going to be a bit cold.

As Tikki gets comfy in my bag, I head down stairs to where my parents are shuffling around our kitchen cooking breakfast. I greet them and sit down in one of the chairs by the counter. I check my watch as my mom tries to make small talk with me. 7:00, I've still got time before I have to go. I think as I start eating the eggs that are on the plate in front of me. 

********

"Thanks Mom and Dad!" I say as I put my empty plate in the sink, giving  each of my parents a kiss on the cheek. I hug Mama and Papa goodbye and head towards the door, snatching a cookie from the jar on the counter before I continue walking. 

**A small time skip brought to you by my laziness** 

As I walk up to school I see Alya waiting on the steps.

"Hey girl! Wow! What did you do to your hair?" Alya ask's as she and I step into the school.

"Well that's the thing: I didn't do anything to my hair today." I say as we walk up the metal stairs towards the oak door, leading to our first class of the day.

********

"Oh well I like it, you should do that more often." Alya says as she reaches out and lightly tugs on my bluebell hair, smiling.

"Ok, I will try." I say and swat away her hands slightly laughing. As we sit down I see Adrien and Nino walk in a few seconds before the bell rings. I stare at my notebook that I had gotten out moments earlier, before noticing I have some toothpaste on the back of my hand. I rub it off quickly and look up to see Miss. Bustier rushing into class.

"I apologize for being late, there was some traffic." She quickly states before taking her place in front of her desk.

"For today I will assign a group project; You will all be put into groups of four. We will be working on teamwork, so we know that you can all work together during an akuma attack. For your assignment you will be performing 2 bonding exercises over the course of this week. It's only  Tuesday, so you still have some time to meet up and do these exercises." She leans over, and starts to shuffle around the papers on her desk before pulling one out.

"Here are the groups." She says as she list's the name's. I start to zone out staring out the window before I hear my name being called.

"Marinette, Alya." Alya and I high five upon hearing our name as we wait for the next two members to be revealed. "Nino and Adrien." She states before moving onto the next group. My jaw drops upon hearing Adrien's name. Alya snickers as she sees my reaction, and I snap out of my shock to give her a friendly punch in the arm trying to play it off. As we settle down I start to hyperventilate as I look down at my notebook again trying not to die from happiness.

********

As the rest of class rolls by Miss Bustier tells us that the project results are due on Monday. When Alya and I get up to go to our next class; I suddenly hear talking behind us as we head to science. I turn around to see Adrien and Nino casually talking behind us. Alya notices that I had stopped paying attention and turned around with me. As we both turn and stop walking, I look away from Alya just in time to see my high school crush bang heads with me.

"Oooowww." I say opening my eyes to see Adrien on top of me. Oh shit. I think as I feel the heat rush to my face when I realize what's happened. "Eeeeeeeeeee!!" I hear Alya fan-girling as Adrien and I get up, apologizing to each other while rubbing our foreheads.

"So why were you guys following us?" Alya asks snapping out of her fan-girl moment.

"Well I was just following Nino." I hear Adrien say as I try to flush the heat from my face while hiding in my hands.

Adrien's Pov-

"Oh wow." I think as realize how pretty Marinette is with her hair down. I take another a good look at Marinette once she gets her face out of her hands.

"What?" I hear Alya ask as I tear my gaze from Marinette. Did I say that out loud? Shit. I try to play it off, while I watch Alya grin Marinette. I see Marinette blush lightly as she swats at her best friend. I chuckle and grab Alya and Nino's shoulders, pushing them towards their next class.

"Umm. Adrien, I actually have all my classes with Alya except for one so. I'll be going!" Marinette says as she races towards her best friend who is already halfway across the basketball court. I hear Nino sigh as he places a hand on my shoulder.

"Ya know dude, you should really try harder if you want to get with Mari." Nino states. I shrug off his hand as I turn to him and say,

"She's just a friend." I say as we make our way to the next class. (AN- That physically pained me to write that sentence.)

********

Marinette's Pov-

"I can't believe Adrien fell on top of me!!!!" I say as Alya and I walk out of our last class together, and to lunch.

"Wow, that's just it you, girl. You gotta pull yourself together." I hear Alya say as she chuckles while I try not to die from embarrassment. Because I know I'm gonna have to see Adrien in the cafeteria. 

********

As we walk underneath the stairs leading to the cafeteria I stop, Alya notices and turns to me.

"Girl what are you doing?" Alya says as she makes her way back to me.

"I can't go in there! Not after what happened!" I whisper shouted, as I turn around to have lunch in the bathroom again.

"Oh no you don't!" I hear Alya say as I feel a hand grab the collar of my jacket.

"Noo!!" I exclaim as she yanks me backwards. I stopped struggling when I realized she wasn't about letting go. As I was yanked through the cafeteria doors I realized where I was being dragged.

"Alya no. No no, noooooo!" I complain as I close my eyes and I try to wriggle out of my captures grip.

"Fine." I hear Alya sigh and let me go. I open my eyes and I realize where I am, for fucks sake, why here! I think as I feel the color drain from my face. I was standing right in front of.......

Word count- 1474, not including AN
