The New Miraculous

Prom

Jessica's POV

Mhmm... A dance... with Luka?

I can't either, Marinette would be devastated and I would be betraying her.

Me: Nah, he's...not my type. I'm more tough and he's a softie and we wouldn't go well together. It's like if you were to put hot sauce and peanut butter together on a slice of bread, not a great combination.

Adrien: True... Let me guess, you're the hot sauce?

Me: Of course!

Adrien: But...you'll come right? Because, if you do, I'll certainly make time to chit chat. Maybe even share a dance with you.

As Adrien finished, he turned to stare into my eyes. I noticed a familiar glimmer in those faint green eyes

Then, I heard a stomach grumble. It wasn't me, I was still full from the sub I had in recess. Adrien!

Me: Oh my, you're starving! I didn't realise I kept you here for so long! I can give you my lunch, I'm not hungry anyways.

Adrien: Never mind, class starts in 5 minutes anyways.

Me: I guess I'll pack then.

Adrien gave me a puzzled look.

Me: It's science... in the science lab... downstairs.

Adrien: Oh, I guess I'll pack too then!

(Time skip to Prom the next week)

Jessica was wearing a black lace dress with a crimson red hue at the bottom, paired with her choker.
Zayn was wearing a black tux with a velvet red tie.
Marinette was wearing a pink dress with blue flowers at the bottom.
Adrien was wearing a black tux with a pink tie.
Chloe was wearing a golden tube dress.
Alya was wearing a plain orange dress with puff sleeves.
Nino was wearing black jeans, orange polo shirt with brown leather jacket.

Nino was the DJ and Alya was the host for Prom.

Jessica's POV

I stepped into the auditorium to meet a sea of students wearing all kinds of clothes of all kinds of colours. No face in the crowd was recognisable. I was already starting to regret coming to Prom! I dived in deeper into the crowd and spotted some of my friends.

Adrien with Chloe taking some pictures together. Adrien did not look pleased, more forced into the photo taking. Chloe was basking in the fame and attention that the photographers were giving her. Alya was on the stage stating the overall schedule of what was going to happen tonight. Nino was also on stage with her spinning some beats as the DJ. I noticed Marinette at a table sitting all by herself. Well, at least I have company. I walked over to her table and sat beside her.

Marinette's POV

I can't believe I was sitting here alone, without a date. I glanced around the whole room and almost every girl was enjoying with another boy. But, in a way, it is my fault. I waited too long to ask Adrien and he ended up going with Chloe; all because of my shyness! I really wouldn't have come to this dance if it wasn't for Alya convincing me. Just as I was about to get up and leave, I saw Jessica walking over to my table. Wasn't she coming with Zayn?

Me: Hey, Jessica. I thought you were coming with Zayn? What happened?

Jessica: We uh... had a bit of miscommunication and uh... we are taking a break. What happened with you and Luka?

Marinette: He couldn't come, he had guitar practice.

Wow! I couldn't believe it! Zayn and Jessica broke up?!

Marinette: Hey, Jess, don't look, but Zayn is coming this way. Do you want some privacy?

She curtly shook her head as I remained in my seat.

Zayn: Hey, Jess!

I watched as Jessica remained silent and oblivious to Zayn's pleading eyes to get back with her.

Zayn: Look, I'm really, really sorry for what happened the other day and I have been sorry every day since... you know what. I have been kicking myself every day in the regret of what I did. Please, please, please just forgive me... I don't want to take me back, just say something! Scold me, slap me, anything, but please don't give me the silent treatment!... Please...

How does Jessica stay unwavered after all this pleading? Jessica stood up and walked away, into the dancing group of students in the middle of the auditorium. Zayn was trying his best to keep up with her. Just as Jessica zipped past the photo-taking station, Zayn caught her arm and spun her around to face him, their lips just inches away. Snap! The photographer took a wonderful shot of the couple, who seemed to the photographer like they were staring lovingly into each other's eyes.

Alya: Right now, as you are seeing, we are taking shots of the loveable couples who are streaming into the auditorium. These pictures will be shown as a slideshow on the screen here. They will be used as reference when the voting begins later tonight. So be sure to get a good look of the wonderful couples who are here tonight!

Wriggling out of Zayn's grip, Jessica walked as fast as her legs could take her and exited from the auditorium with her ex in tow.

Zayn's POV

I searched frantically around for Jessica only to find her nowhere. Was this it? Was I going to lose her?

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a piece of black clothing sticking out from the janitor's closet. Could it be...?
