Marinette's POV

*Sighs* "Adrien" I sat there Admiring Adrien from Afar. Trying to remain unnoticed. That is until my friend Alya came over.

"Girl! you can't just Gawk at adrien all day, everyday!"

she was right. I should confess my feelings... But I don't have the confidence. So me and Alya just walked to Class. We take our seats but I felt off. so I asked Chloe to Switch seats with me. I couldn't see the front board very well because I was sleep deprived. As me and Chloe switch I hear a a loud yell coming from none other than Adrien Agreste.

"Ms Bustier! Chloe is bothering Marinette!"

I appreciated the fact he wanted to help me. but it wasn't necessary. "Umm.. Miss, I actually asked Chloe to Switch with me. I can't see the front board very well".

Ms. Bustier looked at adrien sternly for making a false Accusation. "On an Unrelated note. We have 3 new students joining us today".

A Kid with Light Blonde hair, pulled back in Blue Ribbons in a Bun walks in the Room.

"Hello! My name is Amber Bourgeois! I am Chloe's Sister". She was sweet. How could she be in any relation to the She-Devil Chloe?

Then a boy in a rugged, dark blue jacket and ripped jeans, With Light blue and black hair came in. I looked up and realized it was Luka Couffaine. A close friend of mine. he introduces himself in a soft tone.

And finally a boy with Dirty Blonde hair, Blue-Green eyes, in a Black vest and tie comes in.

"Greetings fellow classmates, My name is Felix Agreste, please if you will, call me Felix. I am happy to join my Cousin Adrien in your class this year".

It was almost like Felix had no expression. He kept a straight face always. No one understood why.

"Now class, Let's Have our seating arrangement".

Ms. Bustier says to us with a smile.

"Alix and Alya, Adrien and Nino, Luka and Juleka, Rose and Chloe, Sabrina and Kim, Max and Amber, Mylene and Ivan, and Marinette and Felix"

As we all take our seats I accidentally trip over Adrien's Bag. I go stumbling all over the room until I finally do something more embarrassing than tripping. I Landed directly in Felix's lap. Just another thing to make this day even more Embarrassing than it was already. "Uhmm... I uh... I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry!!!"

I stood up fast Trying to get away as fast as possible when I felt someone grasp my wrist tight.

"Marinette right? I'm Felix"

I was even more Embarrassed that he knew my name.

"Y-Yeah! I'm M-M-Marinette!"

"Well it's nice to meet you M-M-Marinette" He says and then chuckles.

I was confused. I didn't know Felix could joke.

"Sorry. I don't usually make jokes like that" His face Returns to it's Straight, Emotionless stage.

I take my seat next to Felix And I try to avoid eye contact. so I stare out the window.

I look at Felix writing And notice he's not very focused. I look closer and realized he was Sketching a girl with Pigtails. Similar to mine. But it couldn't have been me. so I took no thought about it and started doing my school work.

Soon I hear the bell ring and I turn to Felix. "See ya at lunch?" it was amazing how I could talk to someone who looks just like adrien as if he were my friend. But I can't even get a single sentence it when talking directly to adrien.

"Sure. I'd like that" He says as he leaves the classroom. while I was wondering about my appearance. "Do I look childish?"

So I go to lunch. I take a seat next to Felix who is Sitting by himself.

"Hey, Why are you all by yourself. are you shy?"

I asked him Because he shouldn't be sitting alone. I was also joking around.

"Why would I be shy Marinette? I can talk normally. Unlike a Childish little girl such as you. I wonder how you made it to high school".

Does he even realize he just insulted me to my face?!

The bigger question is, Did he care?!

"You know what? I'm going home for a Lunch. I'm not feeling well". then I left. I didn't have anything to say to Felix after that Encounter.

I stormed off and went home. Felix literally insulted me to my face and didn't even care. To think I thought we a nice guys. Hmph!😤

"Mom I'm home for lunch!"

I shouted loud for mom to here me.

"Okay dear. I'll prepare something!"

Then I went upstairs to look in the mirror.

Looking in the mirror I saw a 15 year old girl with Black Pigtails, Pink Caprese, A white flower Tee, and a Black jacket.

"Maybe he's right... I do look childish"

I rushed to my closet and pulled out a Dress. It was pink with Cats on it. "Maybe this is still childish.."

I tossed it aside and kept looking.

After a while I Pulled out Black 4 inch heels, A ruffled White Shirt, a Black Skirt, A curling iron, pink lip gloss, Hairspray, and some red colored hair dye.

then I got to work.

I pulled down my Childish Pigtails and Brushed my hair through. I plug the Curling iron in to heat up while I'm Changing clothes. I slip on black pantyhose. covering my Hairless Legs. I button up a ruffled White Shirt, I pull up my black skirt, Put on my Black heels, and it was time to do my hair and Makeup.

I curl my hair around the Curling iron, And I let the iron work it's magic.

I slowly apply the lip gloss trying to not get it in my teeth. then I took the red hair dye and Made a Red streak in my bangs.

"Mom I may not have time to eat before Lunch ends!"

"Why? what's wrong?"

"Just... a change of appearance for once."

I spritz some Hairspray to hold my curls and I go downstairs to my mom.

"Marinette... This... This isn't like you..."

"You're right. It's the new me. the better me."

I Left the house to head towards the school when I bump into someone.

"Ow! Watch it!" I angrily said as he almost smeared my lip gloss.

"I'm sorry, ahh....."

"Marinette. My name is Marinette"

"Wait- Marinette?!"

I look up and realize the person I bumped into Was none other than Luka.

"Luka?! What're you doing here?!"

"I was coming to check on you. I saw you storm out of the cafeteria earlier. I thought you were sick or something".

"Nope. I was changing up my Looks a bit. Since I look too Childish".

Me and Luka walk to school together and the bell rang for next period.

I walked slowly as everyone has their eyes on me.

"Why are they staring?" I ask as I am feeling uneasy.

"They are just admiring your new look"

Luka goes in the classroom first.

I slowly follow behind him feeling unwell...

"Well who's this Luka?" Ms. Bustier asks him.

"This is Marinette".

Everyone Looks at me in shock. I slowly walk down the Aisle toward my seat where Felix was waiting for me. "You didn't have to change your appearance". he sternly says to me.

"What- you said I looked childish! you literally insulted me to my face!" I started boiling over.

"Marinette. Just because someone says something. doesn't mean you have to listen to them. are you that dumb?"

AGAIN! HE INSULTED ME TO MY FACE!

He puts his hands on mine. and a Light pink blush spreads across my face.

"Calm down please. Marinette where is the girl I sat next to in class this morning? the shy one? the clumsy one?"

He was right. except I was still shy. I am just not clumsy...

"Felix, I don't wanna hear from you the rest of the Day". I gave him a stern look and then I looked at my Notebook to start working.

I could feel the look of disappointment on his face as he looks towards his Notebook.

At the end of the day I was walking out of class when Felix Grabs my wrist again.

Adrien was leaving the classroom when he heard me Ask for help.

"Felix, let Marinette go" Adrien looks his cousin in the eyes as he says that.

Adrien grabs my other wrist to try and pull me away from Felix.

I tug my wrists and both of them release me.

"What is wrong with you guys?! Just leave me alone!"

I stormed out as they watched me.

I was boiling over like a pot of soup.

"Some people just can't respect Women".

I said that even though I still have the biggest crush on Adrien.... I just wish Adrien would've noticed me without The hair and Makeup...

But instead he only cares about my looks.

Adrien/Chat Noir's POV

I can't seem to focus on my school. I have only been able to focus on Marinette today... Ugh... Her new look threw me off. I'm used to seeing the shy, clumsy, Pigtail wearing Marinette. But instead I find a Pretty, Elegant, Mannerful, Girl. where's the marinette we all know? I don't know who long I was in my mind but the bell rang for school to end Minutes after my thoughts on Marinette. Thats when I saw Felix grab Marinette. I can't have him tryna pull anything on My Lady.

Wait- NO! I LIKE LADYBUG! NOT MARINETTE!

After I helped Marinette or... After I thought I helped Marinette... She ran out of the Classroom. So I followed her. I followed her all the way home. but I waited for her to go inside. then I knocked.

"Adrien? What are you doing here?"

The sound of Marinette's Soft voice put a smile on my face. "I came to check on you"

"No need. I'm fine. Now please go. I don't want you here". She seemed angry about earlier.

so I left her alone for a while.

Then it came to the time where I needed to patrol with Ladybug. So I called out "Plagg, Claws Out!"

And I Magically turned into the famous Parisian Hero, Chat Noir. I jump from building to building looking for My Lady. Until I found her on the Eiffel Tower Crying.

I landed behind her hoping to surprise her but instead heard her sobbing.

"M'lady? Something wrong?"

She turns around and I can see her Glossy, Wet, Bluebell Eyes. ones similar to Marinette's.

"Oh Hey Kitty. I didn't hear you come. How long have you been standing there?"

She had a cracked voice. I couldn't sit around and let her be sad like that.

So I sat next to her. "Long enough to know you're not Okay Bugaboo".

I knew something was wrong. but I wish I knew what it was. She can't tell a lot though. she can't reveal too much about herself or her identity will be revealed.

"Oh Um.. It's just something happened today and I was hurt by it..."

I took a glimpse at Ladybug and Noticed her hair isn't in her Normal Pigtails. It was Down and Wavy.

"New hairstyle M'lady?"

Her hair reminded me of Marinette. Come to think of it.. Everything about Ladybug reminds me of Marinette. The Same Gorgeous Bluebell Eyes, Same Sweet, Adorable Smile, same Hair coloring and Styles, Same Way of Laughter? Marinette and Ladybug... Are the same person! Since I became Chat Noir I have wanted to know the identity of Ladybug! and Now I know! the love of my life is Marinette Dupain-Cheng!

"Kitty? are you alright?"

I couldn't help myself. She was just so pretty with the moonlight reflecting off of Her eyes. So without even thinking I kissed Her. I could feel the passion in the kiss we shared.

But I felt like I Went too far so I pulled away.

"I- I'm sorry.. I don't know what came over me. I know you like someone else.. I shouldn't have done that".

"No No No. it's Okay... I actually.. I was into it too.."

I looked into her eyes and saw she wasn't crying anymore. she was happy. but sadly patrol ended faster than I thought it would.

"I guess patrol is over. see ya later kitty. Bug out!"

I watched as she swing away with her yoyo.

And I jumped back to my bedroom.

"Claws In"

I turned back to my civilian form. and then I have my greedy Kwami some cheese before he screamed at me. "Plagg, I know who my Lady Is... Marinette Dupain-Cheng... the love of my life".

I signed as I sat down on the floor.

"Kid! you know you're not supposed to know each other's Identity!"

Plagg Yelled at me. He was right though.

"Just because I know hers doesn't mean she needs to know mine. I will keep her secret".
