Adrien's POV
---------------------------------------------
I flashed my by now perfected smile and gave her a thumbs up back. When she turned back around to walk to class, my smile fell as did my hopes of telling her the truth about me. "This is awful Plagg! If I tell her who I am now she'll hate me!" I punched the wall next to me as Plagg flew out of my school bag.
"Relax kid! She'll be ecstatic about this! The two boys she's closest to just turned out to be the same person, how is that bad?" He poked fun at me about it, but I know that if I told her now she would never forgive me.
"Let's go before I'm late again." He flew back into the bag as I walked into the classroom. I looked at the booth where Alya and Marinette usually sat to see Chloe and Sabrina there instead.
"Alright, class let's begin." As Mrs. Bustier walked in, I stood up and called Chloe out for switching seats with my Marinette.
"Mrs. Bustier, Chloe is switching people's seats around again!" I pointed at he accusingly as she scratched her claws against a nail file.
She looked up from her 'busy' work and scoffed, "oh puh-lease! Those losers gave me the seat! It's okay though Adrikins, I'll forgive you since you didn't know." She sent a wink in my direction, I turned and looked at Marinette and Alya flipping through Mari's sketchbook and giggling.
"Chloe I've told you a thousand times that we don't switch seats unless everyone agrees. Everyone stand up, I'll be assigning seats since no one wants to follow the rules." Everyone grunted and sighed as they picked up their stuff and moved to where Mrs. Bustier moved us.
Nino came up next to me and whispered, "dude...Mari really did ask Chloe if she wanted to switch seats. She said she wanted to be closer to the board." He looked at me a little concerned.
Is this because of what she said about being good friends?
I thought this over until I heard my name being called, "Adrien and Chloe, Nino and Ivan, Nathaniel and Marinette, and in the last front seat, Sabrina and Alya. Please take your seats so that we can begin the lesson." We all sat down and pulled out our notebooks.
Nathaniel? Why on Earth would she put Mari next to him! He's obsessed with her to the point of him being akumatized for it!
All throughout the class, all I could think about was Marinette and Nathaniel. When the bell for lunch finally rang I shoved past kids in my class to get to the front where they both sat. Right before I made it to them, I felt someone yank on my arm, "Adrikins~! Let's go have lunch together, I haven't seen you in so long!" I rolled my eyes as she tried to pull me along with her.
I looked back at Mari's seat to see her and Nathaniel giggling together as they flipped through each other's sketches.
When I saw Nino in the lunch room sitting with Alya I turned to Chloe and said, "sorry but I have to go talk to Nino about our group project I'll catch up with you later." I didn't bother waiting for her answer, I got up and walked over to Nino and sat down next to him to see Alya across from him.
I looked around to see Marinette in the lunch line talking to Juleka and Rose. "Hey, what's up dude! I feel like I haven't seen you all day!" I looked over to Nino and smiled at him. "Why'd you flip out in class today too? That wasn't really like you..." I froze at the mention of class.
I looked at Alya and laughed unsteadily while rubbing the back of my neck, "w-well...I thought Chloe was bothering Alya and Marinette again so I was just trying to stick up for them." Alya raised her eyebrow at me then continued to eat her lunch.
She knows something's up.
"Aww, really Adrien? That means a lot, but we really did just want to sit closer to the board." I looked up to see the radiant as ever Marinette standing there with her tray in hand. She was giggling at Alya as she spoke, "I told Alya that I've been having trouble seeing the board so we offered to switch seats with Sabrina and Chloe." She sat down next to Alya with her tray.
I looked at her as she picked up her apple and kept talking to Alya. In a split second, I stood up abruptly, pushing the chair back and making it clatter to the floor. Everyone in the café looked up, even Mari looked up wide-eyed as I breathed heavily. After realizing that I was just intensely staring at her I broke off eye contact and stormed out.
I'm the one that rejected her, she's happier with chat Noir...I shouldn't be ruining this for her.
I ran into the locker room and sat at one of the benches. Plagg flew out the moment we were alone, "why did you just make that whole scene? A little dramatic even for you kid..." He flew around my head then hovered in front of me, "come on kid next period is gonna start soon you can't just sit here all day."
"I know Plagg, I just wish I didn't reject her in the first place. I don't even know who Ladybug is, for me to choose someone I don't know over someone I know more than anyone else was stupid of me. I need to talk to her." I stood up in motivation but froze at the sound of the door to the locker room slam shut.
I turned around and ran towards the door and out into the hallways to see no one in sight.
Someone was listening to us talk.
