A yawn released from your mouth as you approached your school. You didn't get much sleep because you spent the whole night bored without your phone.

You also kept waking up every hour worried that you were going to be late for school seeing as you didn't have your alarm that was set on your phone.

You didn't want to tell your parents you needed yet another phone again, you didn't even want to talk to them at all.

So you just stayed up all night.

Running a hand through your hair, you begrudgingly pushed open the door to the school and headed to your classroom on autopilot.

"(Y/N)!! THERE YOU ARE!!"

You tired self immediately lit up with a surprised expression when you were suddenly embraced by a certain blonde.

"Chloe?-"

"WHY HAVEN'T YOU RETURNED MY CALLS?? I'VE BEEN TEXTING YOU ALL DAY! I THOUGHT YOU WERE COMING OVER!" Chloe suddenly held you out at arm's length, looking at you with a disappointed pout.

"Sorry, Chloe, I lost my phone yesterday when I was at practice." You gently grab her hands and push them away tiredly.

Her expression became one of concern before she smiled and waved her hand dismissively,"oh, pssh, don't worry, I wasn't worried at all! I'll just have daddy buy you a new phone!" She says as she pulls her phone out to text her dad.

"No, Chloe you don't have to do that!-"

"Oh! I'll just call him, so you can have your new phone by today!"

"Chlo-"

She held up her finger to you making you halt in your attempts to change her mind about buying you a phone. You sighed and just start heading to your seat.

You were so tired, you hardly noticed everyone else start entering the classroom.

Sitting down with a tired huff you rest your head in your hand and shut your eyes tiredly.

The chatter of your classmates were tuned out as you shut your eyes.

Seeing your eyes shut as if you were sleeping, Marinette nervously walked over and reached out to try and slip your phone back into your bag.

Chloe's squeal suddenly woke you up, glancing around to remind yourself of your surroundings until your eyes suddenly landed on the blue haired girl.
"Marinette...?" Your tired voice sent shiver down Marinette's spine.

Marinette's face heated up in embarrassment once she was caught and tensed up immediately.

"Uh...hi (Y/N), I...I found your phone!!" She nervously pointed to the device in her hand.

Your eyes trailed to your phone and brightened up immediately at the sight.
"Oh my gosh, thank you!!" You stood up and grabbed your phone,"where did you find it??" You smiled at her, extremely grateful to have your phone again.

Marinette's eyes sparkled at the fact that she was able to lift your mood so suddenly, you looked so happy. Only to feel shame when she remembered that she was the one that took it in the first place.

"I-"

"(Y/N)! I got you a-" Chloe raised a brow at Marinette and turned her nose up at her in disgust, everything about her behavior towards her said she was better than her. You didn't like that.

"What do you want Dupain Cheng?" She huffed, crossing her arms, phone still in hand.

"She was giving me my phone, Chloe. She was being very sweet, so please be nice." You defended, only making Marinette feel worse about her actions. Still, she couldn't help but blush at your words.

"But (Y/N) I'm getting you a new and better phone!"

You smiled warmly at her in response,"you're so sweet, Chloe, you didn't have to do that..You're too cute sometimes, Chloe."

The blonde's stubborn behavior vanished in an instant at your words as she became flushed. She was wrapped around your finger.

"Tell your dad that he doesn't need to get me a new phone please Chloe," You smile at her and sit back down in your seat, sending another thankful smile to Marinette.

Marinette smiled back at you before making her way to her own seat.

Once you turned your attention back to Chloe, Marinette rested her head onto her desk in a dejected manner.
She felt so guilty.

"What's up with you?" Alya raised a brow once she saw her friend's face planted in her desk. She sat down, setting her bag down while Marinette didn't pay her any attention.

"I don't wanna talk about it..." Marinette sighed, her voice muffled against the desk.

Turning her head to take a glance at you only to find you were falling asleep to Chloe's ramblings about your appearance and how you needed your beauty sleep. Rolling her eyes, Marinette turned her gaze to look out the window behind you and gasps as she noticed an akumatized menacing villain.

Immediately, Marinette sat up straight with her hand up in the air,"may I go use the bathroom??" She asks before quickly making her way to the school restrooms.

Alya raised a brow again, confused yet used to her best friend's strange behavior.

Adrien soon followed.

Unfortunately, you didn't hear the commotion, too tired to be aware of your surroundings..

"Miss (Y/N)!"

You jolt, your eyes shooting open in response to hearing your name. You looked up in the direction of the voice and saw your teacher, Ms.Bustier.

"I would appreciate it if you stayed awake next lesson."

You yawn and smile in response, feeling embarrassed at being called out,"I'll try next time."

Chloe looked at you to which you winked in response causing her to look away from you instantly, her cheeks dusted with a red blush.

As you stretch, you direct your attention to Alya, finally taking notice that a certain blue haired girl wasn't in the room.

Confusion soon took over when Alya suddenly raised up a piece of paper and started looking through the hole she cut into it.
Looking to the back of the class all the way until she reached you, soon turning the photo to Chloe.

Chloe seemed to notice this as well and smirked at her before pointing at the teacher that cut off her lesson to look at Alya in bewilderment.
Alya, seeing she was caught, immediately tucked the photo away into her book and smiled innocently.

"Is Marinette still in the girls' room?" Ms.Bustier asked Alya.

Alya glanced at her best friend's bag and shrugged,"uh, I don't know Miss."

The bell rang after.

"Tonight I want you all to read Chapter three of the breathtaking France: The First Thousand Years then answer this simple questionnaire." She announces whilst passing out papers to everyone.

When she finally reached Alya,"See to it that Marinette receives her homework."

Alya smiled and nodded as she grabs the papers.

You stretch your arms again as you followed behind Chloe to your lockers. You immediately went to your own locker to grab your belongings.

Once Chloe noticed you weren't watching her and discreetly took some items out of her locker, quickly putting them away in her bag.

An action that went unnoticed by Alya.

Chloe shut her locker right after before rushing over to you,"(N/N) come on! You should come over! I still need to give you that makeover!" Chloe smiles, grabbing your hand as she excitedly pulls you along.

"I don't know, Chloe, I'm a little behind on homework."

Chloe scoffs,"homework? You don't need to worry bout that, Sabrina can do it for you."

Chloe snaps her fingers,"Sabrina!"

Sabrina tenses and stands up straight,"yes Chloe?"

"I need you to do (Y/N)'s homework!-"

"Woah, hey, you don't need to do that." You shake your head and wave your hand dismissively,"I just won't do it."

"Don't be ridiculous, (N/N)! No friend of mine will be failing classes,"She looks at Sabrina with a stern expression, wordlessly commanding the ginger to do your work.

Sabrina frowned and furrowed her brows as she stared at the floor, not arguing with Chloe.

A notification soon sounded from your phone causing you to check.

A video of the news popped up,"Once again, Ladybug and Chat Noir have saved Paris! But no one knows where the famous Vamp Violette is?" The camera cut to Ladybug waving,"Ladybug do you know where Vamp Violette is and why she wasn't here to help save the day?" The news reporter asks causing you to gasp.

Your eyes went wide, staring at your phone in horror.

What a terrible hero you were!!

How could you miss it??

You immediately turned your phone off, feeling extremely disappointed in yourself.

You ran your hand through your hair before turning and heading towards your home, feeling miserable.

As you were rushing home, your phone started ringing.

"(N/N)! WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE'D YOU GO??" Chloe shouted worriedly on the phone, surprised and confused by your sudden disappearance.

"Did I say something wrong..?"

You sigh and rub your temple,"I'm sorry Chloe, I just-" Your phone beeped as if you hung up.

"Huh?" You pulled your phone away and looked at your phone, seeing you no longer had any signal and groaned.
"Crap..." You felt so guilty.

Guilty for not being there for Chat Noir and Ladybug.

Guilty for leaving Chloe..

You'll have to apologize as soon as you can.
