-Most of this chapter and a couple after are going to be flashbacks-
Anger: A strong feeling of annoyance, displeasure, or hostility.
Marinette looked at Chat, he was twitching, his bad eye was clouded over, the normal didn't seem threatening, but the clouded eye seemed to be looking straight into her soul. It seemed to grasp her like only one other clouded eye had. A memory stirred inside her. It brought Marinette back to a couple months previous. Adrien Agreste, her crush and friend had not gone to school in two weeks. Marinette had become worried about her friend, and she couldn't bare not seeing her Adrien face to face. She needed someone sane to talk to as Paris was scared of her alter ego. She couldn't go to Alya because Alya was livid, and she wasn't thinking properly. Marinette rang the doorbell, a gruff voice she had never heard before burped on the other line and asked.
"Who is it?" Marinette became nervous thinking it was Adrien's uncle, she looked up at the camera and asked.
"May I be let in, I'd like to visit my matecla- CLASSMATE um... Adrien." She smiled shyly, the camera retracted back into the pillar that it had sudden protruded from. The gate opened and Marinette walked into the yard, it had only been two weeks but a lot of the shrubbery around the manor was dead. The gardeners who had cared for the manor had all quit, seeing as how Gabriel was gone, so no one would be paying them. Marinette got to the front door and waited for it to be opened for her, when it was opened up, it was Adrien, her friend, normally she would greet Adrien with a nervous hug that would probably knock both of them over. Adrien stood with a scowl on his face, holding the door open, his hair was a bit of a mess and he was wearing sweat pants and a faded and wrinkled, I'm for Ladybug and Chat Noir t shirt. Marinette tried her best not to look at Adrien's face, she didn't want to seem rude, it wasn't polite to stare at someone's injury, and for all she knew, she had caused it in the collapse of the manor.
"Hello Marinette." Adrien said, he simply stared ahead at her, Marinette chuckled and waved a bit. Adrien invited her inside and they shared a chat not like friends, not like a couple, as if they were former associates. It had been a couple minutes of awkward conversations, Marinette wasn't sure what to say without pressing him.
"Adrien how come you haven't been at school?" Marinette asked out of the blue, suddenly Adrien slammed his fist on the desk looking down and just yelling out.
"I DON'T WANT TO BE WITH THOSE PEOPLE." He said, his teeth gritting, Marinette reeled back at the sound of Adrien yelling, she had never heard Adrien yell before so she just walked away and sat by his piano.
"You're mad about Paris wanting to exile Ladybug and Chat Noir aren't you." She said, pressing the middle C on the piano. Adrien turned to look at her, Marinette was the only person so far to realize that modeling wasn't the only thing Adrien was sad about.
"Y-yeah, It's unfair... they shouldn't do that to the people who have protected them for so long..." He said walking to the piano, he sat down next to Marinette, Marinette hugged him suddenly, for both of them it was an experience that made them feel like they were floating and their voices seemed to fall.
"I couldn't agree more."
