#like when marinette and adrien were a buggirl and a catboy

A lot of the early humor so far is just "haha reference!" I wonder when that gets phased out.

#idw likes to sneak in pop culture references too but it's usually relegated to background characters #like when marinette and adrien were a buggirl and a catboy #the mlp idw comics also love background references too #perhaps even moreso because bronies are trained to pay attention to background characters #but in archie it's like. in the dialogue. #sonic is fighting an urkel robot right now. get it?? do you get it??? #tap reads archie sonic

So I finished chapter 2. I had to do some restructuring with this one so some of the dialoge I was working on is postponed to next chapter, but until then here’s a preview. Enjoy

Marinette was running, she didn't want to be late, not today. It wasn't particularly uncommon for her to be the last to dash into the classroom, and it certainly wasn't rare for her to walk into the classroom while the lessons had already started, but nevertheless Marinette being late wouldn't be odd, it wouldn't be suspicious it wouldn't even be questioned, no, but it would be noticeable. If she was late, she would enter the classroom alone and all eyes would be on her, and her alone; for a couple of not brief enough moments. In those moments some people who were in her class last year might take note of her wearing her old bag, people would see her not take of said bag when she sits down in her usual spot, people would notice she holds her bag of food in her hands instead of in her bag where it would be objectively safer from Marinette's tendency to drop the food she's holding. (She could still hear Chloé talk about the time she spilled her entire tray of macarons over herself and Adrien from time to time). Foolishly, Marinette looked at her phone to check the time. Her phone screen lit up and she saw the numbers change from 8:27 to 8:28. Marinette could feel her heartrate double the moment she saw that, she was convinced that if it weren't for her miraculous, her stress level alone would have been enough for hawkmoth to turn her into some kind of speed akuma or something like that. The panic Marinette felt pumped her full of adrenaline and it felt as if her speed doubled, it didn't really double of course, but it sure felt that way. She was zooming past a wall full of posters that were recently hung up neatly in a row, she was running so fast she was surprised she could still read what was on them, one of Jagged Stone's newest album. Some were of Comic-Con Paris, that was open this weekend, a couple about Gabriel's new spring line with Adrien wearing a light yellow coloured shirt with lilac borders, and bright blue jeans. The details of that last category of posters were familiar to Marinette because she may or may not have stared at them for a whole 15 minutes after school yesterday. It's been a while since Marinette tired herself out like this without wearing red and black, she could feel her wings moving against the insides of her bag, as you can imagine it wasn't particularly a comfortable feeling. But it was all worth it because before she even realised herself she was running up the stairs leading to the school's front door. Mr Damocles watched her enter the school with a disapproving look on his face, he didn't say anything but at this point Marinette already knew what he was thinking, "late again miss Dupain-Cheng" or some variant of that. She was standing in the middle of her school's Courtyard Marinette checked her phone and her eyes went wide, she had made it.
