Marinette's POV

Tikki flies into my pink backpack that's almost the exact shade of my room. I sigh and pick it up. I hop down the stairs. "Have a great day honey!" My mom calls. "Thanks! Love you!" "Love you too!" I run to school. Chloé Bourgeois smirks at me. I ignore her and slip into my seat next to Alya. She grabs my arm excitedly. "Did you hear?" I shake my head no. "There's a new student joining our class!" I nod, bored. Nino turns to face me, a sad look on his face. "Miss Bustier said that the new kid has to sit with me." "Don't worry Nino. You'll be just fine."

Adrien's POV

I take a deep breath and enter my classroom. Kids turn to stare at me. It's uncomfortable, especially with Plagg in my pocket eating a square of overripe Camembert. Miss Bustier smiles at me. "Class, this is your new classmate, Adrien Agreste. You can take a seat next to Nino, Adrien." "Thanks." I say. "Who's Nino?" A tan boy with a baseball cap on his head and orange headphones waves. I smile and sit beside him. Chloè waves sweetly at me. "Don't count on it." I mutter to her. "Would you all go around and share your names?" Miss Bustier asks. "Chloè." "Sabrina." The list goes on until we get to the two girls behind me. "Alya." The red headed girl says. The black haired girl remains silent. "And this is Marinette. Right?" She nods and smiles at me. Just then, a roar rumbles through Paris. Everyone falls under their desk expect for me and Marinette. "Go!" Plagg whispers. "What?" "Just go!" "Where?" "Man, you ask a lot of questions. The bathroom you dumbo!" I take off. Marinette is right in front of me.

Marinette's POV

I bolt from the room and slide into the bathroom. Tikki zooms out. "Cat Noir will here soon." She heaves. "Cat who?" "Just put these on." Tikki says, dropping a pair of red earrings in my palm. I shrug and take out my crystal ones. I slip them on. "Now say, 'Tikki, spots on!'" I nod. "Tikki, spots on!" She zooms into my earrings and the next thing I know, I'm in a red jumpsuit with black dots on it and there's a similar mask on my face. "When someone asks who you are, say you're the new Ladybug." I nod. "Also, NEVER under any circumstances, take off your earrings." I nod and run out.
