Marinette's POV
When I woke up the next morning, Adrien was gone, and I was so thankful for that. I didn't know how to deal with the bearings of the information that I had just learned. Adrien was Chat noir, Chat noir loved ladybug, so Adrien's words were true to some extent. If I wasn't Ladybug, the whole ordeal would have been a problem.
I reached over to my phone, looking at some notifications, when I spotted Luka's name I automatically smiled. Luka never made anything stressful, and was a friend that I could talk to about anything, but I knew I couldn't talk to him about this. I quickly put my phone back down, not caring if I answered any of his text.
"Tikki." I whispered, wondering where the red kwami had flew off to. Seconds later she had popped up randomly in the air, and I was thankful that she was hear with me. She gave me a 'what do you want?' Look, and I quickly responded. "You knew Adrien was Chat noir the whole time and didn't tell me?" I almost yelled, but caught myself so I wouldn't wake up my Parents.
"Adrien isn't- how did you find out?" She asked back. "Marinette?"
"I heard him in the middle of the night talking to Plagg, who would've known that the Kwami of destruction was right here in my home." I sighed.
"Who would've known that Adrien would talk to Plagg after your love session?" She asked, and I felt my face heat up. I looked away, wondering what I was going to do about the issue. "What are you going to do? I mean you are the guardian of the Miraculous now, you could take it back." I shook my head. I still tried Chat noir- I mean Adrien.
"I think I'm going to have to ignore him for a while." I got up from my bed, to get ready for school. For once I wasn't running late.
"You can't just ignore Chat noir, what if there's another Akuma."
"There hasn't been an Akuma in weeks, I think Hawkmoth may have taken a break. Besides, it's better that I think this through before I rush my decision." I said, not even knowing what I am deciding.
***
Ignoring Adrien the first day was easy, The class was stuck with a lot of work and I was still grounded so I had to go straight home. I made sure to limit eye contact with him, and I was glad he didn't come to my house for another late night visit.
The second day became a little harder, Adrien had started to have a look of confusion every time I would walk a different direction from him, making it obvious that I was avoiding him. He also tried to talk to me at lunch, but I ignored him by starting another conversation up with Alya.

Kagami did happen to randomly waltz herself over to our table and sit down. She began to have idle convos with Adrien, and I felt myself rage with jealousy inside. But I couldn't even be mad, Adrien wasn't mine, and I was still avoiding him.
The third day was definitely the hardest of the three. I had been successful of avoiding and ignoring Adrien throughout the whole day, even if Kagami sat at our table again, I didn't mind as much as before. It wasn't the school day that made it hard, it was the night of that day that made it hard.
Adrien had somehow made his way up to my roof again, and when I connected the dots I realized that he had probably gotten on-top of my house using his miraculous. I decided to keep the trapdoor locked so he couldn't come and, and pretend like I was listening to music.
Fast forward a week later and Kagami and Adrien had become great buddies, although I kept seeing the sky looks Adrien was giving through out the day.
Then came the weirdest thing ever, I thought I was dreaming. Luka popped through the door randomly at the beginning of the day, looked around, and then walked towards the teacher. Then the teacher announced that the he would be in our class for the annual class trip that every Junior takes during Junior year.
This year we were going to a lake for a week of school to observe nature, camp out, and "survive" for science class. I thought it was pretty stupid, but was glad that Luka had found a way to come. I hadn't really talked to him since he sent that text since I didn't really care to respond, but now looking at him I had just remembered.
Adrien immediately turned around to me, and for once I connected eye contact with the blonde in the front of the class. I shook my head, trying to tell Adrien that I knew nothing about this.
"Hey Mari." Luka's voice popped up. I gave a small smile before I greeted him back. He then proceeded to walk up the stairs and sit next to Kagami. This situation had just gotten worse.
"Okay class," the teacher began to talk. "It's time to go over what you need to pack..."
Once she got done talking about what we needed and the basic rules which literally took hours since our teacher could talk all day, she let us out early since we needed to pack for a week's trip. We would be heading out tomorrow morning, get there the next day, and then come back next Monday.
I quickly went home, packed, and then went to sleep early to be prepared for the next morning, because I knew there was a lot to come.
***
The morning had already started out bad, I had woken up late, ofcourse, and was now rushing to the school in some sweatpants and a very loose shirt. In actuality, it was Adrien's shirt that he had left when he slept over, but I thought little of it since I was in a rush and that was the quickest comfortable thing I could put on.

"This suitcase is so heavy!" I breathed once I made it to the bus in-front of the school (I walked to school every morning because it was literally just a couple seconds from my house).
"Very typical of you, Ms.Dupain-Cheng." The teacher said before taking my suitcase away from me and writing my name down. "Your late." Was her simple reply.
I nodded, "I know I'm sorry, I even went to sleep early last night." I began to walk up the stairs of the travel bus, looking at my options of where to sit at.
"You're late too Kagami?" I heard the teacher ask from behind me, and I glanced at Kagami who was glaring at my shirt. I gave a small innocent smile before I looked back to the bus seats. The only people who had spots left open were Adrien, Luka, and Nathaniel. And out of everyone I felt most comfortable with Luka, but at the same time felt I should sit next to Adrien to simply talk.
Adrien was closer to the front, while Luka was almost all the way towards the back of the bus, near his sister. I knew that if my conversation didn't go well with Adrien, then I would be scarred for life.
So I chose Luka, and began to walk down the aisle until I was pushed by Kagami, causing me to trip on my own two feet. Before my body partially hit the ground, and I wondered where the rest of my momentum went. When I looked up from my fall, I saw the green eyes boy with a smile, helping me back up from my chair.
I was certainly annoyed at Kagami at this point. Now that the bruise on my fave was gone, it seemed like she wanted to give me another one. Even though I wanted to forgive her for what she just did, I simply couldn't. And it usually took a lot from me to lose my optomistic side.
"You okay Princess." The pet name certainly brought butterflies to my stomach as I nodded my head. Kagami was still behind me, seemingly analyzing the situation that she caused. "Here, let me help you." He pulled my hand roughly to the seat near the window, giving away the seat he just sat in, and then decided to sit on the inside seat. I was astounded at what just happened.
If it was in my favor or not, was unknown.
Kagami looked at me, faked a smile, and then went to the back to probably sit by Luka. I honestly could care less at this point what she did.
Adrien was sitting patiently while staring at me, and I found it quite nerve racking.
"Yes? Do you need something?" I asked, glancing at the blonde. His green eyes were pleading with uncertainty.
"Are you going to tell me why you've been ignoring me?" He asked, the words running out of his mouth eagerly.
"Well you certainly gotten close with Kagami." I commented as a response. Adrien shook his head, and I knew he was about to get defensive.
"That was after you ignored me for a week. I don't expect what you want me to do, and besides, Kagami's just a friend." The last phrase that he said angered me, and Adrien realized that it did. He immediately looked like he regretted his words. "You know what I mean Mari-."
"Marinette, only my friends call me Mari." I smiled. "So are you just a friend, Adrien?" I said awaiting his response.
"Your flipping the argument." He said, his voice grave.
"I'm not flipping the argument."
"You ignored me for a week and a half!" He continued.
"You've been with her for a week and a half!"
"I was not!" We were now yelling at this point.
"Was too!" I almost screeched.
When we noticed that almost the whole class was looking at our argument I roughly turned around from Adrien and looked at the window to ignore the stares. Well that was until a few minutes later I felt a sudden hand pinch my waist. I yelped before I looked at a teary eyed Adrien.
I had never, and I mean never, imagined a teary eyed Adrien to be sitting in front of me. It seemed almost impossible from how joyful and jokey he had always been.
When I could see and feel his real emotions, I knew I was in the wrong, and that I owed him an explanation. I softly brought my hand to Adrien's face, wiping away a partial tear with my thumb, and then slowly cuddled into him.
We were such a bipolar pairing.
He brought his arm around my waist as he nuzzled his head next to my cheek. "What's the real reason you've been ignoring me." He whispered. Well I couldn't tell the boy now, if I did, that would cause even more of an out-lash.
"Can we fix the problem at the cabin, I think it'll be better there." I whispered back. He grumbled but then nodded, and I was glad he understood. I then pushed Adrien away, noticing that I was getting too close to him again.
And I didn't know if that was a good or bad thing.
