I looked behind him to see Marinette. I turned forward quickly and blushed. Nino hit me in the arm and smirked. He clearly knew I had crush on her. I has liked Marinette form day one. I just wasn't shy about it. Of course until the crush grew bigger.
When I was gaming with her, before we started, we touched hands. And I just blushed. When Jagged Stone asked her to make the C.D. cover it took me forever to ask her to sign it. I don't even think Alya knows I like her. And Alya is good at finding things out, other than super hero's real identity.
I thought to myself during class. "Should I ask Ladybug out, no she hates me. I don't even think Mari likes me. She doesn't even talk to me." I put my hands in my face and sighed.
"Mr. Agreste do you need assistance?" the teacher said angrily.
"No ma'am I'm just tired." I lied.
Nino looked at me knowing I was lying. "Just choose one." He whispered to me.
I was stunned. "Could he hear my thoughts?" I thought.
"Class dismissed. See you all tomorrow." The teacher said.
Every one stampeded out of the classroom. The day went by so quickly, probably because I spent most of it daydreaming. I went through the crowded hallway till I made it to my locker. My locker was right next to Marinette's locker. She got up and left her locker open. And I was a little curious so I looked inside. And to much of my surprise there were pictures of me everywhere. I closed my locker and ran up to Nino.
"Nino guess what?" I said excitedly.
"Let me guess. You found out Mari likes you." He said sarcastically.
"No I…wait how'd you find out?" I said confused as ever.
"I'm dating Alya, dude. I found out forever ago." He said closing his own locker and looking at me.
"Why didn't you tell me Nino?" I said angrily.
"Alya told me not to. And I'm a very trustworthy boyfriend. You can too." He said nudging me.
I blushed. "But what if she says no? Or what if Chloe finds out?" I said stressing out.
"Dude, seriously she really, really likes you. You have nothing to worry about." He said calmly.
"What about Chloe? She already hates Mari and she will hate her more." Is said slowly going into a sitting position on the floor.
"Dude, really. You will be there to protect her won't you?" He said picking me up.
"You're right Nino. I can do it." I said with confidence.
"You go tiger." I turned around quickly to see Alya. Nino was laughing and I was in complete shock, and embarrassment.
"How long have you been here?" I said still blushing putting my face in my hands.
"The whole time." She said walking over to Nino. She kissed him on the cheek then he put his arm around her shoulder. She put her are on his hip. "Just go ask her." She said.
"Fine." I said
"Wait really? I got to fi…" She said taking out her phone, but Nino stopped her and shook his head. "Fine" She said letting Nino take her phone away.
They followed me as we went outside. We found Marinette quickly. I looked at Nino and Alya and they both nodded their heads. I went up to Mari.
"Hi Marinette." I said.
She dropped he stuff and we picked it up together. "W-well thanks A-a-adr-ien."
"So I was… was wondering if you would like to go on a da-"Right in the middle of my sentence Gorilla came and escorted me to the car.
When I got in the car I put my face down. I glanced out the window to see Nino and Alya. They were glaring at Gorilla. Then looked at me and pointed to him then Mari. I just shrugged. They put their heads down and went up to Mari. That's all I saw.
I got home and face planted into my bed. "Looks like someone lost the chance to ask their little crush out on a date." I looked up to see Plagg mocking me like usual.
"'Oh shut up. You can't see your crush either." I said putting my face back in my pillow.
"I can see her. Once you ask Ladybug out!" He screamed in my ear.
"Well if I can't ask Mari out I might as well ask Ladybug." I said sitting up. "Oh wait Ladybug doesn't even like Chat Noir, great.' I said sarcastically and going back on my back.
"Well you I guess you'll never know who Ladybug really is." Plagg said sitting on his bed.
"It's not like you know who she is." I said looking up at him.
"Oh you'd be surprised." Plagg said going to the computer. "Let me show you something."
Plagg went to my pictures and grabbed a pic of Mari and Ladybug. He put them next to each other. Oh my god." I put my face in my pillow.
"Yeah just show her who you are you dumbass." He said turning off the computer.
"When will I have the chance? Its summer you dumbass." I said angrily.
"Just because you're on Va-ca does not mean Hawkmoth is." He said sass in every word.
"I guess you're right." I said sitting up.
"That's right you listen to me bitch." He said putting some shades on.
"Where'd you even get those?" I said looking at him like I was his parent.
"I have my ways." He said.
I was going to add something but Natalie walked in. "Someone is here to see you Adrien." She said IPad in hand.
To my surprise the guest wasn't just Alya, but also Nino. "What are you guys doing here?" I said confused.
"Akuma." They said together dully.
"Well I was just about to shower." I lied.
"Every time akumas rain down. You decide to shower." Nino said.
"I- uh shower when stressed." I said rushing to the shower. I turned it on. "Ok plagg its show time. Plagg claws out.
