Chapter 51

Marinette's P.O.V:

The teachers seemed to want to fill the whole day with busy work. I found that school here was just as boring as the one back home even if I was doing it all with my boyfriend. The two of us didn't really have that much time to talk until lunch. We sat down with the rest of my class, besides Alya of course, who sat alone.

"You are looking nice today." Rose spoke as she sat down with Juleka.

"Really?" I asked. "I know you have seen this outfit before. It's very basic but I guess it's cute."

"No. It's not the outfit but I do like that too. It's something else but I can't put my finger on it." Rose tapped her chin in thought.

"I know what it is." Juleka spoke up quietly with a smirk.

"What is it?" The tiny blonde girl looked up at Juleka.

Juleka leaned down to whisper in her ear something and Rose immediately went red and stared at Damian and I.

"Oh my gosh." She squeaked. "I see it now."

Everyone was looking between two of us and the blonde and for those that didn't already know seemed to piece it together.

"Dude!" Nino gasped as he looked at me.

"Please don't start this." I hid behind my hands again.

"See? I told you they would figure it out." Chloe shrugged.

"It's your turn now, Bugaboo." Adrien joked. "Don't forget what you all did when you found out about Kagami and I." He playfully poked me on the shoulder.

"Hey, she told me about it." I dropped my hands to the table to glare at him. "This is different. I didn't tell any of you."

"You might as well have." Juleka joked. "Even my sweet and innocent Rose here sensed something different."

"She's right." Max nodded. "We could all pretty much tell but some of us are more subtle about saying it than others." He sent a sideways glance towards Chloe.

"When have I ever been subtle about anything?" Chloe flipped her hair. "That's just against my nature."

"She's got you there." Alix laughed before turning her attention to me. "So? Are you going to tell us about it?"

"Absolutely not." Damian gave them all a death like glare.

"Yeah. I don't feel comfortable with that." I seemed to get more and more red.

"Party pooper." Kim said.

"I am not." I spoke up. "Maybe I just like to keep private things private. We already have paparazzi chasing after us. We don't need any more stories floating around."

"You're right and we're sorry." Adrien smiled at me. "I know how that is. It's just exciting to all of us is all."

"I know." I sighed. "Thanks Adrien."

"So, is everything still all good with the Daminette ship?" Nino asked.

"The what?" Damian looked at the group with confusion.

"That's your ship name." Rose said excitedly.

"I see." He nods.

"We are doing great." I looked up at my boyfriend to smile at him. "More than great even. We're fantastic."

Damian gently squeezed my hand under the table as he returned my smile with a soft one of his own.

"Awe, they are so adorable!" Rose exclaimed.

"You have no idea." Chloe scoffed. "Sometimes they are so sweet it makes me sick." She grinned at me.

"I'm glad you found her, Damian." Adrien spoke to him. "I think you bring out the best in each other."

"Hey, that's the same thing I said about you and Kagami." I grinned.

"And you were right just like I am right now."

I was just about to say something back when I saw Alya approaching our table.

"Hey, Alya." I looked at my old best friend.

"Hi." She barely looked at me before looking over at Nino. "Can I talk to you for a sec?"

"I don't know, Alya." Nino crossed his arms. "Have you apologized to Marinette like the rest of us?"

"No. But I did try to text her and she hasn't responded just like you."

Everyone besides Damian and I started to laugh.

"What?" Alya gave everyone a dirty look.

"Alya, you don't have my number anymore. I changed it a year ago." I informed. "I just recently gave it to Nino, Rose and Juleka here."

"Okay, fine." Alya said with a bit of anger before turning back to Nino. "Can I please talk to you?"

"No. Not until you own up to your mistakes. I haven't heard an apology yet."

"Sorry." She said to no one in particular. "Now can we talk?"

"Nice try Alya, but no." Nino shook his head at her. "You know that's not what I mean. I need you to really be sorry before I ever talk to you again. Your petty childishness isn't going to work."

"Fine." Alya scoffed. "Be that way." She stomped away.

"Well, she actually said 'Hi' to me. I call that progress. The word 'sorry' even left her mouth." I gave everyone a halfhearted smile.

"She didn't mean it though." Chloe said. "Alya didn't even look at you when she said it."

"Do you have any idea what she wanted from you?" Max asked Nino.

"To get me back?" Nino shrugged. "But that's not happening."

"I'm still so sorry that any of this happened." I looked over to where Alya was sitting all alone.

"You shouldn't be the one apologizing." Nino shook his head.

"He's right, Angel. Don't worry about her. She clearly doesn't worry about you." Damian wrapped an arm around my shoulder.

"You're right." I smiled up at him. "I have all the friends I need right here."-----------The rest of the day went by pretty smoothly. We finished up our work at school and drove home with out any incidents. I was almost halfway completed with Selina's jacket when Alfred called Damian and I down for dinner.

"How was school today, you two?" Bruce asked us as everyone was eating their meals.

"It went about the same as breakfast this morning." Damian rolled his eyes.

"I don't understand how everybody knew." I mumbled mostly to myself as I took a bite of food.

"Well you might as well have written 'I had sex with Damian Wayne' across your forehead with the way you looked today." Jason shrugged.

I immediately started to cough in surprise and it took me a moment to calm down while Damian rubbed circles on my back as he glared at his older brother.

"Jason." Bruce spoke sternly to his son. "We are having dinner right now. Do not speak like that."

"Especially not when young ladies are present." Alfred gestured to Selina and I.

"Sorry, Bruce. Sorry, Alfred." Jason mumbled.

"You better say sorry to the little kitten too." Selina looked over at me which I was trying to sink further and further into my chair to try to disappear.

"Sorry, Pixie-pop. Sometimes I speak without thinking." Jason gave me a small awkward smile.

"It's fine. Just please change the subject." I spoke softly.

"Wow, Jay. Way to make things awkward." Tim said as he finally cut through the silence.
