what if - a miraculous tale

part 1

He looked up as the backyard door opened "Adrien, your father told me to come tell you something important about the upcoming week." Natalie looked at him with Mr. Agreste's schedule under her arm. "Let me guess, father won't be able to have dinner with me on Christmas evening?" Adrien said and looked down at his feet. "Not exactly..." Natalie took the schedule out from under her arm and gave it to Adrien. "Mr. Agreste will be going on a business trip to London" Adrien looked at the schedule and then up at Natalie. "When will he leave?" Adrien asked and gave Natalie the schedule back. "Tomorrow morning." She said and adjusted her glasses. "What?! But what about me? I'm assuming you'll go along and the Gorilla- uh I mean my bodyguard is still sick" The backyard door opened once again and his father came outside. "That's why you'll stay at one of your friends' house. Or do you want me to make a call to you aunt and your cousin Felix?" Mr. Agreste asked and looked at his son with no emotion showing on his face. "No, it's fine father, I'll think of someone."

"Alright everyone, I hope you have a great day and I will see all of you tomorrow, don't forget your Christmas sweater!" Miss Bustier put down her books and everyone slowly got up. "Is something wrong Marinette? You've been staring at Adrien more than normally" Alya said and laughed. Marinette's eyes widened "Shhh! What if he heard you?" Marinette looked at Adrien's seat but he had already left the classroom. "What happened yesterday when you were at his house? Did he say anything about the sweater" Alya asked excitedly. "Alya! No!" she sighed "just go get Nino and meet me in front of my house please. Don't ask why." Alya nodded and ran out of the classroom. "Marinette will you also go home? It's going to get dark soon" Miss Bustier said and held the door open. "Oh yes! Sorry Miss Bustier" Marinette said, gathered her books and walked out.
