Marinette's POV
-----------------------------------------
"What was that about, is he alright Nino?" I looked over to him worried then back at Alya, she looked a bit shaken up too.
Nino stood up and tipped his hat to us, "I don't know but I think I'm gonna go find out." As he gathered all of his things I thought back to what happened yesterday.
It couldn't be from that, could it?
I stood up and chased after Nino before he got too far. I caught him in the hallway about to pull open the door to our lockers, "wait Nino!" He looked up at me and let go of the door handle giving a soft thud. he rounded the corner to meet me by the café doors, "can I talk to him instead, I have to talk to him about something."
"Sure dude, just be cool though, he's been on edge since he walked into the classroom." He gave a pat on my shoulder then went to go see Alya again.
I gave a big sigh before rounding the corner. Before I could even reach the door though, Adrien swings the door open and high tails it down towards the other end of the hallway. Curiosity settling in, I follow him as quietly as I can.
Where is he going, there are no classes in this part of the school...
He walks into the old classrooms that no one uses anymore and shuts the door behind him. So I don't get caught snooping I decided to wait outside and just look in through the clouded glass windows.
I could hear muffled voices from inside the art room then, "No! Chat Noir can't just show up at our school! That wouldn't make any sense, then she'd really not want to talk to me!" It sounded like Adrien was screaming at someone, at the sound of it he was with Chat, but why?
I leaned in closer to the glass to try and hear clearer what they were saying but instead I heard footsteps getting louder and louder.
Crap, crap, crap! They're coming this way!
I ran farther down the hallway and hid behind a janitor's cart out of view. Looking between the cleaning supplies I saw only Adrien step out. He rubbed the back of his head and put his head down as he walked away. When he was out of sight and hearing range I slowly rose and walked over to the room he was in. The furniture was all covered in white sheets with dust swirling everywhere.
So there was someone else here...
I looked over to the window to see a claw mark in the dust on the windowsill. Chat Noir was definitely here, but why doesn't Adrien want him in school...More importantly, how does Adrien even know Chat?
As I pondered this for awhile the bell for last period rang. I walked out of the classroom slowly so that I could talk to Tikki without anyone seeing. "What do you think this all means?"
"Well...Maybe Adrien gets advice from Chat Noir about how to get the ladies." She wiggled her eyebrows at me and giggled, "Marinette I think you're thinking way~ too much about this! just focus on school, for now, Adrien is not your top priority at the moment. Trust me, if he was really in any big danger I would sense it!" We both laughed as I walked back to class. She hid back into my bag the second I turned the corner into my last class.
"Hi Marinette, I drew this for you during lunch, do you like it?" I sat down next to Nathaniel and thanked him for the sketch.
Tikki is right, Adrien rejected me, so he's not my priority anymore. Obviously, I'll be there for him as a friend, but I have school and patrol to worry about. I looked at the back of the classroom for a split-second to see Adrien staring out the window. I looked back at Nathaniel's comics as I thought to myself.
School, friends, family, patrol and...
I stopped for a moment. The school bell rang through my ears for the last period to start.
And what? What else do I need to be worried about?
My mind flashed back to last night on the Eiffel Tower as my teacher started the lesson, 'my purrincess~'
and my kitty of course.
