After things managed to calm down, the teacher comes in moments later. She wasn't very happy with witnessing Clayton's sudden burst through the door in anger. Of course, she stopped and asked what was going on, and he could have made the most awful lie possible just to get back at Marin for making him look like a total idiot in front of the whole class. That was exactly what he did. As the teacher stepped inside the room while he leaves down the hall, with an evil smirk on his pale face.

"Marin Dupain-Cheng and Adrienne Agreste, principal's office. Now" Her voice was threatening, she was on her last nerve and it seemed these two managed to break it. The classroom seemed dead for some moments. No one moved and no one said a thing. Slowly, Adrienne and Marin gathered up their things and left out the door.

The teacher sighed, sitting at her desk and looking at all the students. "Can anyone care to explain to me what happened to Clayton?" 

~~~~~Adrienne POV ~~~~~

This will not end well. To be fair, Clayton was being a total jerk to Marin, but I don't understand what got over me. I slapped him, I never let my anger control me... I guess my Chat Noir is showing a little too much lately, i gotta be more careful or else it'll rise suspicion.

"Uh...so..what do you think we're getting sent for?" I looked over at him, raising my eyebrow slightly. "Well..i'm pretty sure Clayton was the one who made up some lie to get us in trouble" I looked ahead, the principal's office coming into view. I was able to look into some rooms, i slowed down when I saw him sitting on the nursing table, clutching an ice bag to his face. Oh come on, I didn't even slap him that hard, god, he's such a baby. I thought. I rolled my eyes, better he hadn't noticed me or else we'd be in more problems.

As we arrived to the Office, I placed my hand on the door handle while knocking a few times, before entering. Marin followed close behind. As we stepped inside, the principal had already sat down two pieces of paper. Marin looks over at me confused, I give a slight shrug and walked towards the desk.

"I'll see you both this afternoon"

He handed us both a slip of paper with our names written on it.

XxxxxX Time Skip XxxxxX

"Detention!"

Marin screams through the phone. His fist balled up and he was gripping his phone really tight I was almost positive he was going to break it in his hands. Marin and I rarely talk, but still he is one of my friends. What would father say if he found out about me getting detention? He's never really been around but..I know he cares about me. I smiled sadly, pulling out my phone and typing a few things.

I heard Marin hang up the phone as he sighs deeply. "Ugh, I cannot believe Clayton would do this. What am I saying, of course he'd do something like this! he's a total jerk" He rambled, it was sort of adorable...wait, nah. Ladybeetle, now he's adorable. His cute smile, shiney blue eyes and his dark hair... Gah so handsome!

"Uh, you alright there Adrienne?" Marin snapped me out of my thoughts. Was i staring at him? I looked up and blinked. "Yeah, i'm fine" he looks unsure but then turns away. "My parents are going to kill me..." he mumbled. I had a photoshoot to go today, god this day can't get any worse. My phone buzzed inside my pocket. I was to afraid to look, maybe it was my father, what would he say? would he yell at me again? would he do something like pull me out of this school? I press the answer key and held the phone up to my ear, feeling extremely nervous as to who it would be on the other line.

"Hello?" I squeeze my eyes shut, preparing myself for a yell of some kind.

"Adrienne? I called to tell you the photoshoot will be canceled for to today, your father's orders" I sighed in relief. It was Nathen. " He requests you come home immediately" I froze. Make an excuse Make an excuse...

"I'd love to but i got caught up with...with some homework after school" I laughed slightly. Please buy it.. I begged. There was a long pause. "You shall return home as soon as you're finished, we will be waiting outside" His deep voice sent chills up my spine, but nonetheless he or father weren't going to find out. "Yes, give me about 30 minutes" I hung up, and placed a hand on my forehead. I hope this ends well.

"Protective parents?" Marin questions. I bit my lip, looking down at my desk. Not many people know my mom disappeared not to long ago, and i sure wasn't going to start talking about it to just anyone. "Yeah, you can say that" I frowned, the memories of my mother flooding back to me. He blond hair, green eyes, the way she used to make me smile all the time. Now that she's gone, father has never been the same. He became so cold and distant, sometimes I wonder if he know what happened to her which is why he wants to keep me locked in the house constantly but i'll never know unless he talks to me, his own daughter. I felt a hand on my shoulder, Marin wore the biggest smile i've seen him with. He's always so nervous around me and avoiding me I had the feeling he didn't like me.

I couldn't help but smile back, it was so contagious...

"I'm not sure what's going on, but i'm sure everything will turn out great in the end" My eyes widened, those were the same words Buggie uses...goodness it's like i'm hearing him everywhere. "Thanks Marin"

I made the most of the time I had for detention. Marin and I worked on our assignment for class. Planning out our days to care for the robotic child. Marin was quite the talker when he doesn't stutter or get extremely nervous. It's like he somehow got that confidence to talk to me without avoiding eye contact or avoiding subjects. I'm starting to really like this side of him. Once the hour was over, I said a goodbye, leaving outside and going straight home. On the way, Nathan mentioned my schedule had been cleared this whole week. Marin was right, thing's will turn out great in the end.

No ones POV

  The model arrived at the mansion, a smile on her face, feeling as though nothing was able to ruin her day upon hearing the news of how much free time she was going to get. She couldn't be more excited.

As she entered the house, her father awaiting on the stairs, arms behind his back and a blank expression on his pale face. "Ah, you're finally home, i've got some news" Adrienne gripped her backpack strap nervously as her father's voiced boomed loudly. "What is it father?" she asked in the most polite voice possible. He descends down the stairs, the heels of his shoes taping the hard floor. The faint tapping was the only thing that was heard in the silence.

Gabriel's hand extended towards his assistant, who handed his the white tablet. As he began typing away, he finally spoke. "You know your schedule has been cleared correct?" The girl nods slightly. "I am aware" He handed the tablet back to the assistant. "Well as you must know you will be modeling at my lastest Fashion Show being held here in Paris. You will pack up your things, we leave tomorrow" Confusion rose to the girl, 'pack up my things? why would I need to-' she thought. "Pack up my things? how long are we going to be away?" Gabriel turns around, not facing her. "2 weeks" he answers simply as he descends up the stairs.

She couldn't believe what she just heard. She was going to be away for 2 weeks when she has so much to do. School, patrolling with Ladybeetle and her project with Marin. MARIN! oh god, he wouldn't be able to manage with it the project all by himself could he? Just because she was a model didn't mean she had to leave him to do the work because of her busy schedule, there just had to be away...

"But father! I have a project to do with my partner, I can't just leave him to do it by himself!" Gabriel chuckled darkly, "Oh I'm sure he could manage" Adrienne grinded her teeth, "No, in fact the project is about parenting" This made him stop. She stood up straight, clenching her fists tightly. "I won't leave him or the child, even if it's fake. It needs the both of us" He turned around slowly. "Let's make a deal" He seemed curious. "What do you propose" Adrienne bit her lip. "I'll go to the show, as long as Marin can come with us." He thought for a moment. "Alright, if that's what you wish" He continued to walk up the stairs.

Adrienne stood there mouth open and eyes wide, not believing for a second that her father agreed to the deal without hesitation. Nathan was still there, typing away on the small device. "What are you doing?" She asked him. Nathan didn't look up, his eyes were glued down to the screen. "Informing the hotel we will be carrying another guest" Her heart raced. 'So he was serious' she thought. "Nathan, i need to inform Marin" He looked at her with a questionable look. "Nearest Bakery in Paris, France. Let's go"

Marin was covered in white flour. On his face, in his hair and on his apron. He was finishing the last of pies that were to be put out by tomorrow morning. With light and steady motions, he finished filling the inside of the small pies. About 45 were set out in front of him, and he still had another 100 to go. Marins tongue stuck out as his concentration dead set on finishing the treats. Tikki flew about, helping with little things Marin needed.

"Wow Marin, i've never seen you so focused on something for this long" Tikki joked. Marin smirked, "Haha" he laughed sarcastically, sticking out his tongue at his red kwami. "I've been doing this for years, it's probably the only thing I can do without messing up" The boy turned to grab some melted chocolate, instantly slipping and nearly spilling all the chocolate. The kwami i giggled. Marin's face flushed a light pink. "Well...almost" "It's alright Marin, you're almost done" Tikki swooped down, close to Marin's face, nuzzling against his cheek as if giving the boy a hug. Tikki always showed Marin how much she cares about him, like hugging his cheek as a sign of affection.

"Yeah, i'm making some Adrienne. You think she'll like them?" The boy rubbed his neck, feeling nervous just by thinking about her. He was already happy just by spending at least some time alone today after school. Even if it was detention, he took was he could get.

"You're making them for her? Why?" He replied with a shrug. "Just a little thank you for helping me out earlier, without her help i probably would have had to face my parents with the injury" He focused on the treats again, but a small chime went off signaling someone had entered the bakery. Marin wiped his forehead with his forearm, before jogging up to the counter. Tikki hid back into Marin's shirt.

"Hello, how can I-Adrienne?!" He jumped slightly, noticing the smiling blond before him. "Wh-what a-are you here doing? I-I mean what are you doing here?" He mentally slapped himself. 'Get it together Marin! you were fine earlier, what would Alim say He thought. The girl walked up to the counter, playing with the tips of her hair, a sign the Marin noticed when she get nervous. "Well, you see Father is making me go model at fashion show and i'll be gone for two weeks" Marin's eyes widened. Two weeks without seeing Adrienne? he felt saddened. "Two weeks? but what about our project? I-I mean I can handle it-" Adrienne shook her head.

"No! no, I also need to put in some work, i'm not just gonna let you do it yourself. Which is why i told my father you can come with me.." She looked away, rubbing her arm. Marin felt his heart speed up so fast he thought he was going to pass out, his face glowed red. It was nice to see the blond was honest and fully committed to help the boy. It shows she's different. Two weeks with Adrienne?! Oh my goodness this is great!! he screamed internally. He glanced at the blond, smiling. "Y-yeah s-sure when do you-I mean we leave?" Adrienne smiled shyly. "Tomorrow" Marin grinned. "Excuse me for a minute"

He left back into the baking room, grinning from ear to ear and jumping excitedly. Tikki flew out, looking at the blue haired boy and giggling. "I'm going to be with her for two weeks Tikki! This is going to be amazing!" Hopping excitedly he managed to crash in several things, knocking utensils onto the floor making hard and loud crashes. "Crap!" Adrienne got worried. "Uh...You okay?" Marin's face flushed again. "Fine! totally fine" He shouted.

He popped his head from the corner of a wall. A blush still on his face, she gave a small laugh. "So, what are you doing in there since you're covered in flour?" Marin's eyes widened, forgetting about the pies he had to finish making. He quickly glanced at the unfinished tray. "I was just finishing up some pies" Adrienne's face glowed with excitement. "No way! i've always wanted to try baking. Think I could help?" She secretly hoped there was any left over sweets she'd be able to eat. Her father restricted fat foods, making her healthy although she was getting incredibly thin.

Marin's heart fluttered, he wished he could just kiss or or hug her or something, but of course he couldn't just yet. He had to control himself. "Y-yeah sure if you're up for it" She ran behind the counter as Marin got an apron, handing it to her. She struggled to tie it in the back. "Need help?" Marin asked. She blushed slightly, turning around. "Please?" His hands make their way towards her hips. He grabbed the small strings tying them together in a bow. "Too tight?" He asked. She turned around, their eyes locked for a moment. "No, it's fine. Thank you" He smiled down at her. They were standing pretty close, her hands could touch his chest.

"Let's get started" He said quickly, pulling away feeling the blush worsen. The blond followed close behind as they went to the tray. "This seems fun" she mumbled. "Don't worry. I assure you baking is fun" a slight smirk on his face. Adrienne was to distracted to notice it. She was a plate of cookies on a counter behind Marin, her mouth watered. Her next objective: Operation steal as many cookies as I can before Marin finds out.
