Secretly a Princess

Chapter 11: Confessions and Rejection

Marinette nodded and went to her walk-in closet where two maids more maids are waiting for her. The maids dressed her up in casual clothes as ordered, Marinette wore an oversized lettermen jacket over a baby blue coloured long sleeved cropped top that says 'bite me' with a pair of white shorts and white converse high tops.

The maids decided to put Marinette's hair up in a ponytail, normally she would put it in a bun, braids or pigtails causing her hair to look shorter but, her hair reached up to her lower back. Marinette thanked the maids and left for the dining hall.

Marinette entered the dining hall and found that her friends were already seated on each side of the table.

"Morning guys." Marinette greeted as she headed straight for the head of the table.

"Morning Mari." They greeted back.

"How'd you guys' sleep?" She asked.

"The beds here are absolutely amazing their better than in my hotel." Chloe commented.

"Luka and I slept like a baby." Juleka said.

Luka snorted and added, "And that says something since she would normally start sleep kicking."

Marinette giggled and nodded, "If you guys think the bed here is amazing imagine the ones in the larger villas or in the palace, they are phenomenal."

They all blinked a couple of times as Marinette said those words.

"BIGGER VILLAS?!" They all yelled. Marinette gave a small chuckle and sweat dropped.

"Y-yes." She answered, "Well this is the closest on to both the house the class is staying at and the palace. This villa compared to the once a bit further from the palace are bigger, I'd say about maybe 4 or 5 story high and the lands are lager because if we're too far from the palace we don't want to go to a hotel and risk getting caught by paparazzies."

They all just nodded understanding.

They all ate breakfast while talking about the activity they would do that day. Marinette then remember.

"Oh, right my father is having a party in celebration of my return, in a week and he said you guys can come along, so do you want to go? I mean Nino is already an automatic yes since he's my persona guard, what about you guys?" Marinette asked.

"It would be utterly ridiculous is I, Chloe Bourgoeuis doesn't come to a party she's invited to."

Kagami nodded her head and said, "I'm in, I would love to see how aristocrats party."

Marinette just shrugged, "Well it depends on each person honestly it could be fun it could be boring; I mostly enjoy the dancing. Juleka, Luka?"

"We're in!" the siblings exclaimed.

Juleka looked at the time and choked, "G-guys we better hurry we were supposed to meet the class at their in 30 minutes."

Their eyes widened and quickly ate their breakfast and grabbed their bags from the maids.

"Willam, we're heading out first, bye" Marinette yelled.

(With the class)

"Where are they?" Ms. Bustier mumbled.

"We're here! We're here!" The gang came in running, "Sorry we're late, traffic was awful."

Ms. Bustier sighed and said, "It's fine just, get on the bus already."

They gave her a sheepish smile and quickly got on. When they got on, they thanked the heavens that the only seats available were at the back. Once Marinette and her friends were seated they left. Today they would be visiting some museums and learning about the history of China and went to go site seeing.

Marinette was talking to Kagami in Japanese, ever since Kagami found out Marinette could speak Japanese it's been nonstop, but Marinette didn't mind she hasn't seen Kagami this happy since Luka happened. They stopped talking when Adrien came up to them, with a very, very, very creepy smirk.

"Hey Marinette, I was wondering after this would you like to go on a date with me? I mean this is your hometown, maybe you could show me around?" Adrien asked.

The gang was holding back their laughter, Chloe quickly took her phone out and started recording.

"Ew." Was all that she said. This caused the whole group to laugh. 

Adrien looked confused and repeated, "Ew?"

"Yeah, ew. First, why the hell did you think I would on a date with you? No offense but I have standards unlike some of us" she said referring to Lila, "Also second, I have a boyfriend."

"HE OFFICIALLY ASKED YOU OUT?" Nino yelled attracting attention from the rest of the class.

Marinette blushed red and answered, "Yea, apparently we were already dating for a week already and I just didn't know it."

The rest of them were confused, "Is she talking about the guy from yesterday?" Chloe asked.

Nino nodded and complained, "Man I was hoping to play the big brother role."

Marinette just giggled at this.

Adrien stood there irritated, "Um, excuse me, did you forget me or something?"

Kagami looked at him with a bored expression and said, "What are you still doing here? It's obvious that her answer is no, now scram."

Adrien rolled his eyes and said, "I wasn't talking to you. So Marinette what do you think?"

Marinette rolled her eyes and answered, "Yea, no thank you, like I said I have a boyfriend and unlike you I don't want my family's name in bold letters in the gossip news unlike you. And like Kagami said, scram."

Adrien just clicked his tongue and said, "You'll regret this Marinette."

And with that he went back to his seat.

Alya turned to Adrien and asked, "So how'd it go?"

Adrien answered in anger, "B***h has a boyfriend, but don't worry, she'll still be mine one way or another."

Alya was shocked, she didn't know Marinette has a boyfriend.

'What the hell, since when did she get a boyfriend?' she thought angrily, 'she's probably said that to make Adrien jealous.'

To say Adrien was angry was an understatement, he was furious he wants to find out who this alleged boyfriend of Marinette was.

"Hello mother?" He heard Marinette say in mandarin.

"Yea, could you announce to the media that I have a fiancé now."

"No, I'll announce who it is at the party."

"Yes, thank you, oh and my friends said yes, of course I'll take them to the boutique."

"Okay yes, I'll see you next week, bye love you."

There were many thoughts running through Adrien head right now, like 'who is Marinette, what party was she talking about, fiancé?'

One thing was sure was that he was going to get to the bottom of this.
