************************************************************************** (NICOLE ELISSE TRAIN) Remember the story about a duckling who failed in comparison to the beauty of his brothers and sisters written by Hans Christian Andersen? It was entitled, "The Ugly Duckling". It is my favorite tale of all time. Why so if you ask? Well, it's because I can relate well to the ugly duckling's life. I am also an oddity as they say. I didn't see myself as ugly but hearing people,including my kin, say it to me all the time kinda convinced me that I am. So here I am, hoping for my chance- believing in a fairy tale- praying to someday be a "swan". (Oh,and if fate be generous enough, I wish he could throw in a "prince" too! Yeah, like that will happen. lol! ) â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜...â˜... Author's note: Okay so this is my first story here and I am making it using my phone during my time of commute so please I beg of you to be gentle with me. Constructive criticism will be appreciated. Just message me on my profile. Again, this is my first attempt to writing. Forgive me and hope you like my story. lovemuch, Lynne ♥♥♥ {Somehow, as I am re-reading this, I felt like singing ♪♪♪ 'Beautiful in My Eyes by Joshua Kaddison' ♪♪♪ } °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° This book is fictional and copyrighted. enyloc2013©

In my belief, every life has a bit of a Cinderella story to it. My only problem is that, in my own life story, I'm the ugly sister. And we all know Cinderella always gets the prince.

[EDITING] Growing up together, Adrien Agreste and Marinette Dupain-Cheng become inseperable. The classic trope of childhood best friends. Expectedly, Marinette takes a romantic interest in Adrien. On the other hand, Adrien does not see Marinette as anything more than just a friend and instead grows very dependent on her. However things take a turn for the worst when Adrien starts to bully Marinette. Why? She knows. She knows the real reason why and she accepts it. Blinded by his own suffering and succumbing to her own kindness. Two broken teens and so many regrets. But honestly, they wouldn't change a thing.

This fanfiction is an AU, meaning that it takes place in an alternate universe, without the existance of the superheroes, Ladybug and Chat Noir. This story is purely Adrienette and is my own story, plotwise. Characters in the story are not mine and I, in no means, take credit for any of the characters mentioned in the story.

When Chat Noir is struck with a curse, his sleep becomes insufferable as he repeatedly witnesses his worst fear. (UPDATE: As much as I wanted to finish this fic eventually, I don't have the time or motivation to continue it anymore. Thank you for understanding, and thank you to anyone who read and enjoyed my work.)

He took a few more breaths and looked slightly up letting rain drip on his face. If she knew he was so scared they would never have done this. Never! "Chat, are you ok?" She asked, calmly. She sat down beside him and put her arms around him. And yet again a loud boom startled her feline friend. He had let out a horried screach and clung into her as if it depended on his life. He had litterly jumped on to her lap. Those eyes where so scared she tought she would cry.

"I may be blind without my glasses, but I can see things that no one else can see." {+}{+}{+} Forced to work at the library, Adrien meets a mysterious and shy bookworm that comes on a daily basis. He didn't know what made him so curious after looking into her pretty bluebell eyes, but he had to know her. Yet, there is more to this bookworm than what meets the eye. She has a very special secret under those thick, nerdy glasses. {+}{+}{+} I do not own Miraculous Ladybug!!! AU: Alternate Universe!!!
