His Mute Princess

Chapter 60

Adrien felt someone shake him softly and call out his name. When he didn't respond, the person shook him harder.

He squirmed around, trying to get the person to let go of him. He could faintly hear a male voice say, "Ok good, he's not dead."

This caused him to frown a little and slowly open his eyes. Standing above him were Nino, Alya, and Marinette. Upon seeing him open his eyes, Marinette let out a sigh of relief.

Nino turned to look at Alya, "For a second I thought he was a goner." Alya rolled her eyes but had a small smile on her face, "You're so dramatic."

Marinette shook her head at Nino, who just shrugged with a grin. Adrien looked up at his friends, extremely confused.

"What the hell happened?" he rasped. 

"You hit your head pretty hard," Alya spoke. 

Hit his head? He turned to look around the room and propped himself up on his elbows. "Where am I?"

"The school nurse's office," Nino replied.

Adrien frowned, "Why?"

The friends exchanged glances. Marinette turned to look at him and he turned his attention to her. 'You don't remember?' she asked.

Adrien shook his head. 

"Man, you really did hit your head badly, should we take him to the hospital?" Nino turned to Alya.

She shrugged, "The nurse said he was fine, but it wouldn't hurt to take him after class. School is almost over."

Adrien sat up, "When did I hit my head? Why are we at school?"

"Because it's a weekday and we have school?" Alya raised a brow.

'You hit your head when you fell from the ladder. We were setting up for Valentine's day, remember? You were putting up the hearts and on your way down you missed a step and hit your head,' Mari mouthed. 

"It was the last three steps and the fall wasn't big, but it looks like it did affect you, do you seriously not remember?"

"No," Adrien replied. Setting up for Valentine's? 

The school nurse walked in and noticed Adrien was up, "Oh good, you're up now. How are you feeling?"

"I'm feeling ok, I guess," he muttered. "He can't remember hitting his head though," Nino said.

The nurse hummed, "Maybe it's best he doesn't return to class and waits here until school is over. I'll give your father a call." The nurse turned around and walked over to her desk, grabbing her phone and sitting down. 

Alya and Nino opted to go back to class while Marinette stayed behind. 

Wasn't he at home before this?

'How is your head? Like, do you have a headache?' Marinette asked. Adrien shook his head.

The nurse hung up the phone and turned to look at the pair. "Adrien, your ride is on the way, your father has sent his assistant to take you to your private doctor for a check-up," she spoke.

"Marinette, could you get his stuff from the classroom?" she turned to Marinette. Marinette nodded and walked out of the room. 

She walked back to the classroom where the other students had already returned. Since the class was almost over and they weren't actually doing any work, they were all standing around conversing. The teacher sat her desk, grading some papers.

"You taking his stuff?" Nino asked as soon as she stepped into the room. Marinette nodded. 

Marinette grabbed his stuff and the teacher looked up at her. "Is he leaving now?" Ms. Bustier asked. Marinette nodded. "Alright, you can take your stuff as well. Class is about to end in about 10 minutes anyways."
