Chapter 1: How it all started

'Marinette's POV'

Marinette was officially screwed!

She just simply could not do this stupid dare!

'Flash back to three days ago'

"I will not be late again especially on the first day of school" I said to myself. While I was sprinting to the schools door I caught a glimpse of my former crushes red hair flowing throw the wind, I couldn't remember why I stopped liking him but about a few weeks ago I just stopped, I didn't feel anything. No butterflies in my stomach. No nervousness. No nothing.

Before I could try to kill myself mentally by not remembering why I stopped liking him the school bell rang and disturbed my thoughts.

"Not again" I muttered under my hot breath. I had hoped my late night patrols with Chat Noir wouldn't effect me being late, but apparently not.

"Did you say something Mari?" Nathaniel asked while blushing deeply for some odd reason.

"Oh nothing, just me disappointed in myself for being late once again" I replied happily. Hey have you ever heard the saying 'you will never forget your first love' well that's what I'm going through. Then I remembered that he was here, late, with me...OH NO I AM NOT GOING TO FANTASIZE THIS MOMENT.

"Bye Nath I'll see you at math" I said as an excuse to leave this awkward silence.

"Yeah... bye Mari" He answered disappointedly.

'Later that day in homeroom'

'Adrien's POV'

Adrien did not like Chloe, well to be honest he hated her. She thought she owned everything and everyone. What was worse was that she had a humongous crush on him. He wouldn't mind it if it was for his personality but no, she liked him for his looks and for being rich which he hated. So the fact that Chloe and Sabrina basically attacked him this morning for some 'urgent' business put him on edge.

"So Adrikins when are you gonna grow up and ask me to the dance?" Chloe asked irritated as if its obvious logic.

Adrien went complete numb. Of all the things to ask why that. True he didn't like her but she was his first friend. How would he tell her no way in a nice way?

"Umm...S-sorry Chloe..." he is so screwed "But...I-I already asked...I already asked Marinette Dupen Cheng to the dance" I said not really knowing what I said. Chloe froze for a second then started laughing hysterically.

After a few minutes she finally said,

"Please, like I believe that you are dating Marinette" she said with a vicious grin spreading on her face.

"I'm really sorry Chloe but its true" I lied for my own safety.

"Prove it" she smirked at my change of my expression. Why is my life so messed up?

"I will!" I said without thinking. She just froze not really expecting him to do her dare so she just stormed off to her next class after saying,

"Meet me at lunch time and prove it To me and your friends" she said evilly, what have I done?

I ran as fast as my legs could carry me to find Marinette after Chloe told me her dare.

'Marinette's POV'

I slammed my fist on the desk at the library. I have been thinking about Nathaniel and Adrien all morning and was hopelessly lost in my love life.

"Why is my life like this?" I muttered to myself for the hundredth time today.

"Are you ok Mari you aren't acting like yourself today?" Alya asked with pure worry.

"Yeah, I'm fine thanks for asking" I lied to stop her from being to worried.

After a few seconds Alya got up and walked towards me to whisper yell,

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN 'fine' YOU ARE NOT FINE DON'T LIE TO ME TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG" she said and I was shocked at her sudden shouting.

"Its just... Its just that I saw Nathanial today and-and I was normal but that's not it later on at homeroom I-I found a new crush but not completely just... you know early love" it felt good to finally tell someone what I've been feeling all morning right now it was study hall then it would be math, lunch, P.E today was almost over. Just when Alya was about to give me some of her great advice, Adrien ran in the library and headed towards my direction when he saw me. I couldn't help but feel my cheeks get hot and me getting nervous.

"Marinette! I need to talk to you" Adrien said trying to catch his breath.

"Sure, what is it?" I said unsure of what I'm agreeing to. Adrien dragged me out to the hallway and looked quite a wreak once he looked at me.

"Can you do me a favor?" he asked nervously.

'Marinette's POV'

When he asked for me to go with him I promise you that I was redder than a tomato. Adrien, my new crush, asked me to have a private talk with him. I fantasized him talking to me over the weekend but what he said I didn't expect.

"Well...Mari how a-are you?"

"Good? How are you?"

"Good, so about the favor" I just decided that he looks really nervous "Can you go to the Fall Dance with me because I kinda sorta may have told Chloe that I'm going with you to save myself from being forced to go with Chloe to the Fall Dance so now I have to prove it to her that I actually did ask you but you can say no if you want, so will you go with me?" he asked looking relived to finally say it.

I was shocked. Sure I like him and his sparkling deep green eyes, golden locks of hair, and a wonderful personality but does he want to ask me, if so why me?

He must have seen my shock because he looked depressed all of a sudden so I quickly decided my answer "Ok, as a friend ok" I said with my ladybug confidence. His eyes were glittering with joy as he grabbed my arm and dragged me to our math class which I assumed we were late to. Then before I could register it Adrien stopped without warning turned around and gave me a huge bear hug. After what felt like a few minutes he let go and whispered to me

"Thank you, for being such a good friend but I still have one more favor to ask" he said looking serious

"What is it?" I asked not sure what I got myself into,

"We need to prove to Chloe that I in fact actually asked you" he said

"How?"

"By me giving you a kiss at lunch in front of Chloe" he said with determination.
