My first Miraculous Ladybug fic, Be gentle with me, and let me know if I get something horribly wrong, other than that enjoy! ~ Midnight


The day could have started better, Marinette thought as she trudged up the steps towards school.

She yawned widely, taking a moment to stretch out when she reached the top before entering the main doors. Alya had kept her up all night on Skype with the new ladybug gossip and theories so she was absolutely dead tired.
It wasn't as if she minded discussing it, she actually found it quite amusing (and abstractly terrifying) how obsessed Alya had become with ladybug, but she didnt see the need to talk about it for 9 solid hours.

When she had finally gotten into bed to sleep, finally joining Tikki who had curled up on her pillow just shy of the 2 hour mark, her alarm was already blaring. She muttered to herself as she moved slowly down the hallway towards class, something along the lines of 'never again' and 'next time I am turning off my computer and phone' before pushing the doorway open and climbing to her desk on the second step up in the lecture hall.
She slid into her seat unceremoniously dumping her bag on the ground next to it, wincing slightly when she heard a slight squeak of annoyance from the bag. She'd forgotten Tikki was in there.

Crossing her arms on the table and resting her head on them, she looked at the board to find out what they would be doing today, despite her sluggish pace she was actually early to the lesson for once and it would not start for the next few minutes.
She read over the information briefly. It appeared today would be maths, a faint groan worked its way past her lips. Not her forte. Unless is was measurements for any of her designs she tried to go nowhere near math. Well, if nothing else, she was starting the day on a lesson that she could easily stay awake for or sleep through and understand it exactly the same as when it started either way. Bonus.

She moved her head so that it was cradled in her arms on the table, closing her eyes briefly, determined to get a few extra minutes sleep before the class actually started. Alya would wake her up before she needed to do anything when she got there so she would be fine for now she thought as she drifted into a light sleep.
