Recklessness (Part Eight)
Inspired by @nobodyfamousposts’s Lament series
Part Seven / Part Eight (here) / Part Nine
She was excited. How could she not be? It was the first day of school. A lot of her friends were about as busy as she was during summer break (Although they’d argue that she was much busier than they were) but now she’d get to spend the entire day with them again! Not to mention the fact that they’d be getting two new students today! So, if you had to ask, yes, Marinette Dupain-Cheng was excited for today, and nothing could sour that mood.
Unless things went terribly wrong and a megalomaniac with a poor taste in fashion decided to pop up and ruin her life for good came along.
But that could never happen!
Right. She skipped downstairs, kissing her mom and dad goodbye while she grabbed the sandwich, they prepared for her and the two trays of macarons from the table. One was meant for her new class, obviously, while the other was the reason she was heading straight for the library. After all, wasn’t it the duty of a member of the student council to show up to meetings on time?
“And don’t forget to eat your lunch.”
“Try not to rush things, okay? It’s only your first day…”
Really, did she always treat her like a child? Last she remembered Nora went and dropped the twins.
She got so distracted by her own excitement she tuned out whatever Nora was saying. Because she would be a hero today!
Would she get the Ladybug Miraculous?
“…I know it’s great to be in a new school, but you really…”
She wouldn’t admit to thinking about it before.
“…and we can’t keep doing this…”
Who wouldn’t want to be a superhero! It would have been so fun to go on patrols around Paris, stopping crime and having fun with her friends!
“…mom and dad are still upset…”
Honestly, she’s still a little mad at Marinette for keeping it a secret for so long. She’s good with secrets!
“…I know you had good intentions, but…”
Well, now she knows that Marinette is Ladybug, she can just tell her she knows that its her! And then they’d be superheroes together!
“…it might be intimidating to be in a new school…”
Or she could take her earrings from her before she even meets her Kwami! She seemed unreasonably upset before when she tried it, so maybe it would be for the best to not get her involved.
But her Adrienette ship would sail! She'd make sure of it this time!
Her coming to a stop in front of Francois-Dupont High brought her back from her musings to whatever Nora was saying.
“…promise me you’ll try?”
She looked oddly concerned. Frick. Well, hopefully her response would be good enough for Nora to let her go. Destiny awaits!
“Yea, yea. Everything’s going to be fine, I swear.”
That brought a smile to her face.
“Don’t cause any trouble!”
Oh she’d cause trouble. But it was for the greater good!
With that in mind she rushed straight into the school building, not even registering the quiet, strained please coming from behind her.
