Chapter 1: Intern, Really?

I, Marinette Dupain-Chang, am aspiring to be a famous fashion designer. Though it might gt difficult for me to be able to. I am Ladybug, a superhero from Paris. I save the day. I also have a partner named Chat Noir. To help us transform we have things called Miraculous's and Kwami. Kwami are alive, but give us their powers. Mine is Tikki, who has the power of creation. Chat Noir has Plagg, the power of destruction. But there are may kwami's and powers out there in the real world.

"Marinette, you'll be late for school!" Maman calls up the stair. Crap, totally forgot. I am always late, or almost late.

"Sorry, I'll be leaving. Maman, Papa, see you later," I had to be there today. Mr. Agreste was defiantly going to in class for his son's presentation on what he wants to do. I want him to see that I want to be a fashion design so I may have a chance to intern with him.

I come crashing into the class and as the bell rings I sit down. That was close. If I looked any bit unfit, it would be the end of all my hopes and dreams. I can't let that I will not let it happen. I will be the best. I will be known as a hard worker. My project done almost a whole week early, so I used that opportunity to actually sew up some of the designs. I placed everything in a box that is now right in front of me.

Gabriel Agreste looks over me, panic starts to shoot into my mind. Nino, Alya, and Adrien smile to help me calm down and basically say that I've got this. They are completely right. They are the only ones who know how far I have gone to ensure that I was prepared.

"So if Mr. Agreste doesn't mind letting his son go second, we planned on Marinette go first," Miss Bustier says. Mr. Agreste only nods an okay. I walk to the front of the room.

The presentation slides flicker onto the screen. I open my box and start pulling all of my items out and putting them on display.

"Marinette, hurry it up. No one cares about you anyways," Chloe acts like she is about to hurl.

"Chloe, please be kind. Wait for your turn. Sorry Marinette," Miss Bustier says.

"No worries, I am done setting up. I made sure that it would be quick to put up and take down. Easy access is key to being a designer," I pause and turn to the screen to see where to start.

"For those who don't know who I am, I am Marinette Dupain-Chang. I will become a fashion designer, but I hope to be very famous. I started designing at a very young age. My favorite designer is even in the room. That would be Gabriel Agreste. I am 15 years old. I have already won one design contest ran by Gabriel Agreste with this Beret."

I hold up that pigeon-inspired Beret. Oh's and Ah's sound across the room. Then pointing to the Kitty Section designs, "This is the designs I did for a friends great band Kitty Section. The album over there with the amazing glasses are also my designs that I did for Jagged Stone himself. I also have my design notebook with me at all times, so that way if I begin to be inspired I can just start to design an outfit. I have designs that are inspired by heroes to even some of the newest trends. And I even have some that I was inspired by villains."

I ask if anyone has any questions and none come up. I hurry and take down the display. Miss Bustier tells me to set it up in the back and to stay near it, in case anyone wants to check it out closer. Adrien basically takes about how he just wants to continue to work with modeling, Alya talks about her journalism and videos, and Nino talks about becoming an artist or DJ. Soon the class is done and I am allowed to clean up. Gabriel Agreste walks up to me.

"Marinette Dupain-Chang, I believe it was, right?" He questions.

"Yes, sir. Would you like to take a closer look at my designs?" I says.

"Yes, and I would like to give you the opportunity to be my intern," He says.

I gasp, "Really, that would be amazing. I mean I would love to."

"This is Nathalie, she is my secretary. She can help you with the move. I would love if you stayed under my roof," He walks away and Nathalie smiles at me.

"Hello, Marinette. I knew you were something special. Let us go to your house and talk with your parents. You may pick up your stuff and tell your friend the good news," Nathalie says. "I will wait for you by the front of the school.

"Okay, sounds great," I can't believe it. Nathalie walks away and I hurry to pick up my display.

"Girl, you look happy," Alya spooks me. I look up. Nino and Adrien also are stand here.

"Yeah, Gabriel Agreste just asked me to be his intern. And to get ready for the move," I pause and see them all begin to laugh. "Oh my lord, I completely forgot that you live there Adrien. Holy crap, I should have made sure that you were okay with it. Oh and my parents. What am I going to do? I accepted before even thinking it through."

"MARINETTE," Alya yells at me. Adrien and Nino both laughing hard. "It is going to be okay. All we want and your parents want is for you to be happy."

"Really, so it is okay?" I ask. Adrien nods. "I hope my parents feel the same way."

We all walk to the front of the school, where Nathalie is standing. I tell her that I am going ahead with Alya to start packing and inform my parents. She agrees and says that they have a photo shoot to get Adrien to and then they will pick me up. Nino walks with Alya and I to pack up.

"Maman, I have news," I call out. Both Maman and Papa show up.

"Yes?" Maman asks.

"I am moving into the Agreste mansion to be an intern," I say.

"Oh my, I am so happy for you. Just make sure to visit. I guess you are all here to help her pack," Maman states while Papa is cheering. I crack a smile. I guess I had nothing to worry about. We hurry and pack all of my stuff and get it downstairs about half and hour early. I spend it with Maman and Papa. Alya and Nino said that they would come back when I was getting picked up.
