Marinette was going to be late as usual. Her kwami tikki had just managed to wake her up. "What time is it" she said
turning to look at a clock that laid on her desk. "Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed. "School starts in five minutes." "Why
did you think I woke you up, I have been trying for the last hour." her kwami said feeling exasperated.
It didn't take long before marinette was ready and she was running out of the door holding her breakfast in her hands.
She was running into the building ten minutes late. Why does this always happen to me. She thought to herself. She
knew the answer. Last night she was up until midnight in her superhero alter-ego Ladybug stopping an akuma attack.
It had really drained the energy out of her. While she was running down the hall to her classroom she saw someone
she knew. It was Adrien! Marinette loved Adrien, she had had a crush on him almost sense she had first met him.
"W-what are you doing h-here s-so late," she managed to stutter. She always got so nervous in front of him. "Oh, i just
slept in that's all. I just barely got up," he said calmly. "What about you." "I had a hard time waking up. Nothing else,"
Marinette answered sheepishly. Little did she know that Adrien had the superhero alter-ego of Cat-Noir and he was
fighting beside her the entire time. He didn't know that she was ladybug ether. Marinette was jumping with joy inside. I actually spoke to Adrien!
Adrien was kind of embarrassed walking in late. All the focus was directed at him and it didn't help that Marinette came
in directly after him. It's not that he didn't like her. She was a good friend but for some reason her coming in with him
made his cheeks turn just a little bit red. He took his seat next to his friend Nino. "What's with you and marinette,"
Nino said. Teasing him. "Nothing," Adrien said his cheeks getting redder. "We just barely met each other outside in the
hall. We both got up late. It's nothing like that." Adrien could hear Marinette's friend Alya doing the same thing to
Marinette. He felt sorry for Marinette but it was funny to watch her reaction. She was totally hardcore blushing and
flipping out but adrien could tell Alya believed her story. Adrien actually kind of liked Marinette. He thought she was
really cute and funny in her own way but he felt like he was betraying ladybug in a way. Adrien loved ladybug since he
first met her when her when they first got their powers and he found out he could also be Cat-Noir. He had been after
her ever since then and had confessed his love to her but she had always dismissed him. Adrien hadn't let that stop
him though. He kept on trying to get ladybug to like him back. Just then there was a loud shout saying "LOOK!'
Everybody turned and saw through the window that buildings were crashing down. "Class is dismissed," the teacher
said. "Everyone run home and make sure to stay safe." Adrien knew he had to find a place to transform but he wanted
to talk to Marinette first and apologise as well as make sure she was safe. Although he loved ladybug he still had some
feelings for Marinette still. He saw her run through the door and knew he had to act fast. Whenever there was an
akuma attack it seemed like she never stayed long. He made it out the door not very long after but Marinette was
nowhere to be seen. She didn't have time to exit the building. He thought to himself. Then he saw her out of the corner
of his eyes. "Marinette, wait up," he shouted towards her. She turned around and just stared at him with her beautiful
deep blue eyes. This gave him time to catch up to her. "Marinette, I just wanted to talk to you before you left. I'm truly
sorry for what happened earlier." "Oh umm, I-It's n-nothing really," she managed to stutter back. He had no idea why
she would always act like this in front of him but he liked it and thought it was cute. "Her let me take you home. I just
want to make sure you're safe."
Marinette couldn't believe what was happening. Adrien wanted to take her home and to make sure she was safe. Did
he really care about her that much. No it couldn't be true she just hoped it was. "S-sure," she agreed looking nervous.
Then suddenly she thought of how stupid that was. She was ladybug and need to find a place to transform. Without
her the city would be destroyed but she couldn't turn back now. She could only hope Cat-Noir was doing all right. "Here
let's go we should probably hurry, " Adrien said because he also needed to turn into his hero self and he was thinking
that ladybug needed his help right now. So they both headed off in the direction of Marinette's house.
When there were nearing her house Marinette could see that the akumatized villain was headed passing down the
street getting closer to them and her house. "Oh-no! It's getting closer" Adrien said. That's when he noticed that
ladybug wasn't there fighting. "Where's Cat-Noir," Marinette said to Adrien and for the first time didn't stutter. "Or
ladybug," He added. It was at that moment when they realized that they needed to transform. "Thanks for taking me
home, " she said smiling at him. She was to worried to be stuttering. "See you later," Adrien said to her as he turned to
run.
Adrien ran just around the corner to turn into Cat-Noir. He had to be right there. He got to the monster and was going
to hold it off until Ladybug got there but then he realized he was fighting right next to Marinette's house. He had to get
her to a safe spot. He climbed up and knocked on her window. Little did he know that right then she was just about to
transform. She turned to look at him. "What is is Cat," she asked. Marinette was getting impatient because she really
needed to get out there and help him. "I need to get you to safety," he replied and he was not taking no for an
answer. He turned back to look at the villain who was attacking civilians. Where is Ladybug. She could be a lot of help right now.
