Some of you'll might have read the chapter before this note because I've still familiarizing with the site, but now I know how to edit :D
Ayways... this is my first story, an akumitised one btw, so constructive criticism is sought.
I changed the rating from T to M because I'm paranoid but it's not much besides a bit of swearing in chapter two, but I will give warnings of certain stuff in later chapters so don't worry ;)
It's funny how much things can change in one day...
Ladybug and Chat Noir had been partners for over a year,
Marinette had liked Adrien for over a year.
Who could have guessed it would result in a purple butterfly?

A couple of days before-
Thanks to Alya and Tikki's constant nagging, Marinette had decided today was the day she would confess to Adrien. She woke up an hour before school started feeling extremely nervous, she decided to wear a similar outfit to her usual attire as to not dress up for the possible rejection, well very high rejection (in her mind). She ate and bid goodbye to her parents before heading out, forty-five minutes before school would begin.
When she got there Alya was nowhere in sight, I can't do this, he's a MODEL there's no way he'll like plain old Marinette. We'd both be better off if he doesn't know. Her phone rang with an incoming text, Alya: Hey girl, running a little late. But you still need to tell Adrien, no backing down! I believe in you! :-D Her text doesn't help my jitters, "Tikki I can't do this, what if he thinks I'm weird and has never said anything because he's a sweet, kind, amazing guy? What If what if..." Tikki interrupts her before she can go into a further ramble "Marinette you'll never know unless you tell him, your Ladybug, you've taken on citizens under Hawkmoths control, you can take on a crush." She concluded with a soft smile. "O..Ok Tikki thanks, I'll.. I'll go tell him now"
I walk up to Adrien, surprisingly not tripping over myself, "um A..Adrien ca..can I ta lk to you?"
"Hey Marinette" he says with that angelic smile of his "what's on your mind?" "I sorta have a massive crush on you" I mumble and see him straining to hear "Sorry Mari, didn't quite catch that" This is it, now or never just say it fast, like pulling of a bandaid… "I LIKE YOU!" I suddenly blurt out. I see several different emotions cross his face, he looks a bit shocked at first, probably cuz I screamed, and realization, then guilt?
"I'm sorry mar.."
"It's ok!" I cut him off "I.. I understand..," I saw it coming, yet it still hurt, a lot. "Mari wait!" He rushes to clarify "your amazing Marinette, your talented, brave, compassionate. It's just... I, I like someone else" he finishes with a sad smile. I know he's trying to be gentle, because that's the type of person he is, but it still stings. And I know it will do nothing to help, but I have to know "who?" I mumble weakly fighting the tears that are building up in my eyes. He hesitates for a moment before breathing out a single name, that as I had expected, made the rejection much worse, but also didn't? "Ladybug". I snap up and look at him, the remorse still etched on his face, before sprinting into the school with a quick " I gotta go". I can hear him yell out to me, but I don't stop, not until I reach the restroom. Locking myself in a stall I slide down the floor and start crying, Tikki flies out of my purse and nuzzles against my cheek, but I barely notice. My phone rings with another message from Alya, "hey girl I just got here, Chloe send me the video...Where are you?" I ignore it, and see I have another text, from Chloe. It's the video Alya was talking about, the rejection permanently captured. The whole school has probably seen it by now, I read the rest of the message. "Hey Maritrash here's your rejection in glorious HD :) I don't know how you thought you had a chance with MY Adri-kens anyways, as if he'd ever go out with a loser like you. ESPECIALLY when he can have me instead, I'm way richer and prettier than you. Well can't waste more time talking to you, have fun in your pit of rejection! " I saw it coming, I knew this was going to happen, yet I still let them talk me into it. And now Chloe has gotten it all around school, "WHY DID I LET YOU'LL CONVINCE ME TO DO THIS?!" I suddenly blurt out, then more quietly with my bawling turning into soft sobs "I should have known, I should have known, I should have known..."
So consumed in her grief, she doesn't hear the soft flutter of butterfly wings..
Please review and thanks for reading :)
