How I became obsessed with this show, i have no idea. My friends ask me why I'm getting so worked up over a kid's show. It's more than just a kid's show. I blame all the fanfics I read of this series. Now it was time, I tried and write one. Hope you all enjoy!

It is the third year at Collège Françoise Dupont and graduation is just around the corner. For a creative writing project, Ms. Bustier gives the students notebooks. Marinette decides to write her thoughts and feelings in hers. What happens when the other students get their hands on it? They say it takes a whole village to raise a child. Well, it took a notebook and a class to come together and help Adrien Agreste realize he was in love with Marinette Dupain-Cheng. (No power au)

March 28
It was a lovely March day when Marinette Dupain-Cheng came walking into her classroom to see her best friend Alya waving at her from their seats.
"Morning!" Marinette greeted as she passed by the two boys in front of her.
"Yo!" Nino waved.
"Good morning Marinette!" Adrien smiled at her.
"G-Good morning!" She was proud of herself for not freezing up. She immediately went to her seat as Alya nudged her side.
"Nice job, Marinette!" She winked.
The blue haired girl only sighed as she mentally patted herself on the back. The four of them had become close throughout their second year. Especially with Alya and Nino somewhat having something going on between them. That had given Marinette the chance to really get to know Adrien and realized that she shouldn't be holding him up on a pedestal and he was just as normal as everyone else. It still didn't help when he smiled at her and her heart felt like it would burst. Luckily, she was able to learn to speak calmly to him and not be as shy. Alya has been pushing her for months to go and confess but she didn't want to ruin the friendship her and Adrien had. With graduation coming up end of the year, she decided it was best that she didn't say anything. It was now their third and last year at Collège Françoise Dupon.
Looking around the class, she thought back on her classmates and what they went through the years. Alya and herself became the class representatives. Ivan and Mylène had finally gotten together. Alix and Kim's competition with each other sparked something else between them but no one called them out on it. Nathaniel had confessed his love to her after Chloé showed his drawings of her to the class. She drew the line for them and thankfully he was respectful of it and they were still friends. They also got a new student named Lila who ended up being worse than Chloé. Lila and Chloé both fought for the attention. It got worse when Adrien was involved. There was no doubt that Chloé was obsessed with the boy. How much of it was just her being possessive and how much of it were her true feelings, no one ever knew. It didn't help that Lila decided to jump on the Adrien-love train the moment she entered the school and started to spread lies. That was another reason Marinette was afraid to let her feelings for Adrien known. As if she needed more drama before graduation and to get into that mess.
"Good morning class!" Ms. Bustier greeted as she walked in with a box. This got everyone's attention as they settled down in their seats and looked to the front. "It's been a wonderful three years with you all. I know a few of you joined us from second year and so forth, but we have been able to make wonderful memories together. I decided as your last school project with me, you would be doing what we call creative writing. I will be passing out notebooks to each of you. You will be in charge of what you want to write in this notebook. Whether it is poetry, story telling, etc., it is all up to you. You have 3 months to fill up this notebook. At the end of the year, you will be able to show your notebook if you'd like to with the class." As Ms. Bustier passed the notebooks around, the class broke into conversation about the project.
"I'll be writing about my adventures around the world!" Lila exclaimed
"I would love to write a love story!" Rose said with a happy sigh.
"To keep things more private until the end…" Ms. Bustier spoke once more. "You will all be using pen names. Do not write your real name on these."

Marinette stared at the notebook in front of her. What name should she write on her book? Marinette was on her balcony as she looked around her view for inspiration.
Seamstress?
No, that was too obvious.
Marionette?
The bluenette groaned. Might as well put her real name.
Marinette sighed as she closed her eyes and relaxed on her chair. The smell of bread from her parents' bakery calmed her down. She opened her eyes when she felt something land on her nose. Looking down was a small little bug, red with small black dots. Letting a smile grace her face, Marinette picked up her pen and started to write.

This notebook belongs to
LADYBUG
If found, please return to Ms. Bustier's class

Satisfied with the name, Marinette opened the book and began to let the ink of her pen flow across the paper.

April 28
A month had passed as Marinette and Alya sat on a bench during break.
"How has the notebook project been going for you, girl?" Alya asked as she took hers out.
Marinette smiled at the name that was written on the front cover. Lady Wifi. What a perfect pen name for her best friend. That girl was always on her phone.
"It's been good. I'm actually almost done with my notebook." Alya snapped her head so fast that Marinette was afraid her friend was going to get a whiplash.
"What?! Already?" Alya asked shocked.
"I had a lot to write about." Marinette pouted as her cheeks colored with embarrassment.
"Obviously! Do you mind if I read an entry? You can read mine! I just finished writing an entry earlier today."
"We're supposed to wait until the end of the year."
"Oh Mari, please!" Alya pulled her best puppy eyes as Marinette gave her friend a side-eye glance before sighing and handing her book over. Alya squealed as she handed Marinette hers.
Marinette skimmed over the first page of Alya's book. Her entries sounded like reports of things her friend had heard or seen. Flipping to the last page written, Marinette began to read.

Lady Wifi here!
It's been a month since we were given this notebook and boy, do I have news for you!
Walking to school, I saw Lê Chiến Kim and Alix Kubdel arguing outside campus when Kim's best friend, Max Kanté was pushed by Chloé Bourgeois and Lila Rossi, who were arguing on their way up the stairs. This had caused Max to bump into Kim who then crashed lips with Alix! The girl had turned as pink as her hair as she ran away. Poor Kim was left to stand there as he raised a hand to his lips. Has the line between friendly rivals and lovers finally been crossed? We shall see where the rest of the school year takes us. Maybe it's not too late to be honest with your feelings, especially with graduation coming up.

"Omg! Alya!" Marinette gasped. She continued to read more.
"I know my writing is amazing!" Alya grinned as she went and read one of Marinette's recent entries.

April 23, 2016
It's been raining again in Paris.
The rain reminds me of the day he entered my life. He had given me his umbrella. At that moment, I saw the kindness in his heart. With a thunderclap, it was love at first sight. These feelings have grown since then. They may never reach him and I feel like it will be all the best that I give up on him. I'm comfortable with what we have now. I'm scared what I may tell him will ruin all of it.
So please, heart of mine, learn to forget and move on.
With love, Ladybug

Alya slowly lifted her head and peeked at her friend who continued to read some of her entries. The lump in her throat was hard to swallow as her heart felt for the girl next to her. What must it feel like to be so close to the person you love, yet so far? Yeah, her and Nino weren't official, but at least she knew there was something. Yet, for Marinette…
Closing the book and placing it on her lap, Alya looked across the area and saw the boy that captured her friend's heart. He was laughing about something with Nino. The boys must have noticed her staring because they went and walked up to her and Marinette.
Nino took a seat next to her, but all Alya could do was watch Marinette give Adrien a shy smile who talked about Jagged Stone's new song.
"Uh oh." Nino spoke quietly next to her as he secretly laced his right hand with her left. "I don't like the look you have in your eye." Nino watched as a fox like smile appeared on the girl's face.
"Time to do some magic…"

How was that? I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Thank you for giving this story a chance to be read. Let's see what Alya is up to next chapter.
-Love Kumiko.
