Bella nodded faintly in understanding. Of course it would feel weird being put in a situation where she was the youngest by a few years, but if the others didn't mind, she'd definitely try not to let it get to her. Heck, she'd probably be too nervous to talk to Jess or Brian unless she was with Alex, so it would turn out okay in the end, right? [color=blue][b]"Th-That's...a relief..."[/b][/color] She said before placing a hand on her chest, sighing softly. At the mention of homework and studies in general, Bella's face brightened significantly. [color=blue][b]"N-No! U-Uh, I mean, yeah I'm a good student, but I'm o-open for a-any kind of help, really."[/b][/color] She explained, not wanting Alex's help to be in vain. Of course it felt a little weird knowing that other people she didn't even know knew of her as a 'star student', but that didn't mean she was perfect. Getting help from Alex and her friends could prove to be beneficial in more ways than one. The two continued their little conversation until the car scheduled to take them both home can into sight. [color=blue][b]"Oh, th-there it is! L-Let's h-hurry."[/b][/color] Bella said with a small smile as she picked up her pace to not keep her maid waiting. --- [color=gray][b]"Bella..."[/b][/color] [color=blue][b]"..."[/b][/color] [color=gray][b]"Bella."[/b][/color] [color=blue][b]"..."[/b][/color] [color=gray][b]"Bella!"[/b][/color] The girl woke up with a faint start, her expression covered mostly by a sleepy haze. It was clear that the girl was still awfully tired, but if she slept in any further, she would have been late for school. Plus there was detention so she would be there longer than normal. The detention in general just seemed to mess up her entire schedule. After dropping Alex off to her home, Bella was finally able to go home herself. She expect the maids and butlers to at least be worried or concerned about the bandages wrapped around her head, or maybe why she was in detention, but nope. Like always, they kept to themselves. Bella would like to say she was use to it, but that didn't mean it didn't still hurt. It went to show how much they really didn't care, she assumed. After that, it was more of taking care of Hoppi, who reassured her that everything would be okay, finishing up some particularly hard homework, having dinner, trying to get a way for her parents to come home to talk to the principal, and having a hard time sleeping in general. In the end, she probably only got about 4 to 5 hours of actual sleep. Glancing back at the Kwami hovering above her, Bella yawned. [color=blue][b]"...Good morning..."[/b][/color] [color=gray][b]"Good morning! Come on! You gotta get ready to school! I wanna see my friends again! Hurry! Hurry!"[/b][/color] The rabbit Kwami shouted excitedly, flying to and fro as she could barely hold in her excitement. Instead of feeding into it, the blue haired girl calmly sat up, placing a hand on her throbbing head. Waking up with a headache was never fun, but unfortunately she'd have to deal with it... [color=blue][b]"I-it's not until after school, so d-don't burn yourself out, okay..?"[/b][/color] She hummed in response as she slipped out of bed and moved to her closet to find something to wear. Knowing that it would be cleaning lockers, Bella opted for short shorts and an oversized t-shirt, before taking the clothes into the bathroom, Hoppi following quickly after. It took about 15 minutes for the girl to get ready. Once she had her backpack, Miraculous pin, and Hoppi safely kept away inside of one of her baggy sleeves, Bella hurried downstairs. Still a little upset with her guardians, she opted out of breakfast and instead slipped on her in line skates and was off to school. Naturally being the type of person who hated being late, Bella zoomed down her route, arriving at school about ten minuted later. And while she would have changed out of her skates for school, Bella decided to keep them on for safety reasons. Anything could happen and she needed to be fast if she wanted o help anyone. Classes for the most part were normal, aside for the constant whispering she heard going on behind her, most of it having to do with her and how she got detention. If her self-esteem hadn't already been scrapping the bottom of the barrel she would have told them to shut up, but one could only wish. Before she knew it, school was over and it was time to start detention. Letting out another yawn Bella made her way under the school's main staircase, wiggling her sleeve a bit to get Hoppi's attention. [color=blue][b]"I-it was here, right? Y-You should hide until you see one of other Kwami, okay?"[/b][/color] She whispered as the little being flew out. [color=gray][b]"Awww, can't you stay with me unless someone shows up?"[/b][/color] She questioned, her eyes pleading. And while Bella would have preferred to stay and wait, she knew it would be rather weird to see the other Kwami, so she declined the request with a faint shake of her head. [color=blue][b]"I-I'm sorry...it shouldn't be that long though, I promise..."[/b][/color] She mumbled sadly before taking her leave. It was time to clean some lockers...
