Chapter 2
Marinette’s new school was bigger than the last, and she suddenly felt very tiny standing before the castle of a building. Several students shuffled in through the front doors, and she could already tell that things were much different here. The air was different, and people carried themselves with a sense of self-importance she usually only saw out of Chloe. Though she supposed this was a private school for rich socialites, yet another thing that reminded her just how different she was from her new classmates, but nevertheless, she trudged on, slipping by unnoticed as she found her way to her new class.
Inside the room, students were broken up into groups all chatting casually with each other, and Marinette pictured similar scenes in Mlle. Bustier’s classroom that had never daunted her like this did. She didn’t recognize any of these faces, nor did they pay her any mind as she stood awkwardly at the front of the room. For a moment, she felt a sinking feeling in her stomach as if this were a bad idea, but soon their teacher entered the room and offered her the first smile she’d received all day.
“You must be Marinette, right?” He asked cheerfully, and she felt herself relax a little.
“Yes.” She nodded.
“Welcome to our school. I’m Mr. Mercier.” He extended a hand for her to shake. “Don’t be intimidated by the groups; most of my students are very friendly, so I’m sure you’ll make friends quickly.”
“Thank you,” she said with a smile, turning to face the front as Mr. Mercier clapped his hands to get everyone’s attention.
“Alright, class, settle down and find your seats,” he said, and students began to shuffle into place. “We have a new student joining us today. Her name is Marinette Dupain-Cheng, so please help her find her way today.” He turned back to face her and pointed to an empty seat in the middle. “You can sit next to Eliott just be sure he doesn’t talk your ear off.”
A boy with dark skin and poofy hair flashed her a devilish grin and extended a hand as she took her seat.
“I’m Eliott, aspiring actor and the boy of your dreams,” he said, waggling his eyebrows, and Marinette blinked at him before a girl behind them reached over and swatted his arm.
“Don’t take him seriously, he’s trying to stay in character for his performance later,” the girl whispered with an eye roll. “My name’s Macy by the way.”
“Marinette,” she replied, and Macy gave her a kind smile.
“Sit with us at lunch, okay?” She insisted, and Eliott lifted her hand to his lips.
“Yes, I’d like to know more about my soulmate,” he said smoothly before kissing her knuckles.
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep him in line,” Macy rolled her eyes, pinching the base of his neck hard until he turned to face the front with a soft yelp.
Marinette bit back a smile as she retrieved her tablet from her bag and tuned into the lesson. Maybe things wouldn’t be so bad there after all. So far everyone was incredibly nice, but as she would soon learn, not every face was friendly.

The class has another picnic like at the end of Mayura.
Marinette: Lila, I know we got off on the wrong foot but you really are like our everyday Antibug
Lila: Don’t you mean Ladybug?
Marinette: Did I stutter?

So I was sitting in one of the dining courts for dinner, and started listening in on another table’s conversation (like one does…don’t judge me).
When all of a sudden I hear “No straight man makes you a friendship bracelet unless he’s gay or has a thing for you”
So my question is….what are you Adrien?

I kind of want an episode in which we get some kind of flashback/backstory that explains why Marinette hates liars so much.
Of course, a very reasonable explanation would be that people don’t have to be passive about everything and they chose lies as what irks Marinette the most.
But then again, there’s always something from our past which causes us to feel strongly about something.
Think about it, an episode explaining Marinette was greatly hurt by someone she trusted who lied to her when she was young, or Chloé getting her way lying to everybody as the reason why they’ve never been in good terms.
If you ask me, I think it would provide a lot of depth for Marinette’s character if there was a clear reason for her hating liars as much as she does. And, who knows? Maybe she’d be sharing her past with Adrien hence, giving us a sweet, intimate Adrienette moment :)

Yes, Lila. Your return to school is causing many problems. You SHOULD stay on the other side of the world.
For once she wasn’t lying lol

one last thought: post reveal, established relationship.
adrien trains himself to be ambidextrous, basically just so he can hold marinette’s hand at all times. she was like “u dont have to do this to urself… pls… kitty pls…..” whenever she’d watch him fumble with his keys so he can enter his own dang home or whatever.
she loves it tho. she’s always playing with his miraculous ring. it gives them both the warm fuzzies cause it’s this tactile, tangible reminder of just how incredibly deep their connection truly is.
and when marinette needs words of encouragement adrien leans down to mutter in her ear so close his lips brush her earrings sometimes.
sometimes he just nuzzles em just because he can.
then there’s the times where they’re holding hands and whatever. marinette lifts their hands, kisses his ring, and goes on like she didn’t just make adrien’s heart explode.
(but she totally did. adrien.exe has stopped responding.)

AU inspired by this video
Everyone in Paris knows who Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Hawkmoth are except those 3. After all, similar hairstyles, ages, and voices identical. Hawkmoth everyone guessed as the butterflies and Gabriel always being away
Alya: I just don’t get why she didn’t tell me. I have given her every opening
Nino: Maybe it’s to keep you safe?
Alya: She gave me a miraculous!
Nino: Then I have no answers
__________________________
Akuma attacks school
Nino: we better all go run and hide
Adrien: Great idea. Oh no, I’ve tripped around the corner. Go on without me
Marinette: I left my bag in the classroom!
Nino: Are they deliberately being obvious or are they just dumb
_________________________
Nino: Alya, do you think Gabriel is giving Adrien something to make him stupid? Maybe didn’t actually teach him anything while he was being homeschooled?
Alya: Why do you ask?
Nino: Well Gabriel, sorry, Hawkmoth sent this akuma that attacked their house and Adrien honestly believed saying he had to go have a shower multiple times was a believable excuse
Alya: Well, did Marinette finally notice?
Nino: She believed him!
Alya: Made kwamis make you idiots? Is there a kwami of intelligence we could pair up with them?
________________________
Chloe: I have literally pretended to be Ladybug now. Did they say anything?
Alya: At the same time I said you were ladybug and went after you and they did nothing. Chat Noir even believed it
Rose: Prince Ali has a friend who is coming to Paris. Think maybe if she said they were besties Marinette would finally snap?
Volpina happens
Alya: How did Marinette not saying anything as herself?!
Nino: How did Adrien not notice or piece things together?!
Lila: It’s ok. I have a plan.
Chameleon happens
Alya: She challenged Lila’s story. She said they weren’t friends. I asked for proof and…nothing.
Nino: I was there and even I don’t believe ladybug didn’t crash into the next class
Lila: Well, Gabriel still thinks everyone doesn’t know he’s hawkmoth
________________________
Hawkmoth: Foiled again! Next time I will get your miraculous Ladybug and Chat Noir
Nathalie: Have you thought maybe you could know them as civilians?
Hawkmoth: Impossible
Nathalie: Maybe one is even closer than you think?
Hawkmoth:….
Nathalie:…..
Hawkmoth: Are you ladybug?
