Reversed Roles

Marinette

Marinette was woken up by her stupid alarm clock way too early- see everyday before school she was woken up at 4am. She has to be at school by at least 6:40am even though classes start at 7:20am. Her mothers excuse as to why she has to wake up so early?

"Marinette you are a MODEL and my daughter. You will most certainly look as such"

Although she absolutely hated that idea- she couldn't disobey her mother and she didnt want to put her mother in a worse state. See... Marinette and her mother Sabine lost the man in their life Tom. Marinette's father and Sabines first and only love.

Ever since the disappearance of her first love, Sabine has definitely changed and not in a good way. She became cold- its like her heart just stopped beating and she can no longer give or receive love. Her mind cant comprehend what love is anymore and her motherly love? That was long gone.

Marinette turned off her alarm clock and opened her door. Her mothers assistant Nathalie gave her a tablet with her schedule for the day.
"Thank you Nathalie" Marinette said only to receive a "mmhhm" in return.
Marinette sighed and closed her door.
She took a shower, changed her clothes, did her makeup, ate breakfast, and brushed her teeth. It was barely 5am. She had time to kill so she went on her balcony and looked at the sky.
The colors of the sky were so beautiful at dawn.
It was one of the times where the dark colors of the night mixed with the vibrant colors of the day.
It was when dark and light met.
But that wasnt the only reason why Marinette went to her balcony every morning.

"Hi dad..." she said. "I dont know if you're hearing me right now... but today's my birthday... your little girl is finally 17 and now a Junior in highschool. I really wish you were here... you would have made today special.  I miss you so much" she said as tears slid down her cheeks. See... her father was her light in her now dark world. That is why she was so attracted to the sky at dawn and dusk.
"I have to go now papa but... just know that I love you and miss you so...so much. And if you... by some miracle are hearing me right now...please come back. Even if its not for me. Mama really needs you now."

Marinette sighed and looked at the sky one last time before going to tell Nathalie that she was ready.
It was now 6:30 am and she was sitting on the steps waiting for her bestfriend Alya and trying to avoid everyone only interested in her "fabulous" life.

"Marinette please can we be frien-"
"Can you give me a shoutout!"
"Marinette what's it like being rich and famous"

She walked away and ignored the peoples questions. It was rude yes...but she was tired. Tired of all the people who only want to be friends because of her fame and wealth. If they were really "fans" they would know that it was her birthday but they dont and they definitely arent her fans. They only want to use her for attention. Thats it. Once they get it then they'll just toss her away.

Marinette was too lost in thought to even notice her surroundings. She was only brought back to reality when she bumped into someone.

"Sorry" Marinette said as she quickly stood up to help the person that she recognized as Adrien.

"Oh no it was my fault im sor-" Adrien looked up and realized who he was talking to
"O-Oh my GOSH MARINETTE IM SO S-SORRY- I SHOULD H-HAVE WATCHED WHERE I WAS G-GOING IM SORRY!" He said (a bit too loud for his taste)
"Adrien calm down" Marinette said as she let out a soft giggle "I am also one to blame but its okay dont sweat it! No harm done. I'll see you in class okay?" She said as she patted his shoulder and left to greet her bestfriend.
