Journey of a Heroine

Guess Who's Back

What's up Pixies! Yes, it's me again :3 aaand u guessed it; here's chapter 3 of Journey of a Heroine. Enjoy! Side note from Future Lav, I started this chapter in October but y'all know how school goes so that's why it took so long. I'll make up for it I promise! <3

Our heroine took a seat in the back she had grown accustomed to. After her little chat with Cat Noir 2 days before, she realized she didn't need to get all jealous when she looked over at Lila and Adrien. Her little kitty was feeling much better as well. That is until something utterly ridiculous happened. Once everyone had gotten settled in, Ms Bustier made an important announcement:

"Alright class! Today one of our wonderful students has returned from her amazing trip to the Bahamas......" she started
'Oh no..' Marinette thought

"Your dear classmate, Chloe!"

"Hello everyone! I bet you missed me but I was in a much better place enjoying the white sandy beaches and the crystal blue seas of the Bahamas. But now I'm back and you can all adore me again!" exclaimed Chloe sashaying into the classroom

"Missed is a strong word." murmured Alya making the whole class erupt in laughter

"Alright class, that's quite enough. Chloe, please take your seat." said Ms Bustier in response to the laughter

Ms Bourgeois took her usual seat after a long glare at Alya next to her personal assistant Sabrina who had dusted the bench off and placed a nice cushion on it. Meanwhile in the back, Marinette had one goal in mind; keep Chloe away from Lila. If they ever joined forces, she would have a much worse villain than Hawk Moth to deal with that's for sure. She also doubted Lila would keep up her good girl act with Chloe if she found out they were out to get the same girl. After what seemed like forever, it was finally lunch time.

Marinette grabbed her tray and took a seat next to Alya who was chatting with Nino and Adrien before she came along at their favourite table. "Hey guys!" she greeted
"Hey girl take a seat..... Heyy Adrien do you mind switching seats with me? I really need to tell Nino something." Alya replied with a wide smirk

"Sure thing." Adrien shrugged

In the blink of an eye Alya was next to Nino which left Adrien next to Marinette. She tried to keep her head down to hide her intense blush that matched the ketchup she was having with her fries, but let's just say it's hard to hide your feelings when your face matches your food. 

There were a few minutes of awkward silence until Alya broke it; "Oh shoot Nino I forgot to give you that thing from my locker! Wanna come with me to get it now? " she asked with a wink
"Wait what thing?" Nino questioned obviously confused
A/N: Really Nino? You reaaaaally can't take a hint 

When he felt a sharp pain on his foot however, he swiftly changed his reply; "Owww! I mean oh yeah that one thing you were supposed to give me! I totally forgot hehe. Yeah, let's go get it now!" he said standing up

*cough*cough*cough*cough*"Silly me I forgot to get umm *cough* milk yeah! Milk! So you guys can go get the thing and I'll go get my *cough* m-milk. Okay bye!" explained a rather red and choked Marinette as she quickly got up and left to the drinks table

'Is she avoiding me?' an upset Adrien asked himself after being left alone on the lunch table
On Marinette's way back to the table after seeing her friends were back from getting the 'thing', she saw a group of girls a grade younger than her surrounding Bella who she had only met a few times before. They were all murmuring things like;
"Oh my gosh that necklace is sooo beautiful!!"
"Where'd you get it?! I totally need one!"
"Woah that looks expensive! Are those real diamonds?!"
