"...This is goodbye, my lady."

What is that stupid kitty talking about? Marinette wants to say something, but when she opened her mouth, no voice came out. She reached out her hand, but Chat Noir was out of her reach. Before he disappeared, he looked back at her with a faint smile. No, she doesn't want him to disappear. Why did this happen? She tries to reach out for him and screamed as loud as she could.

"CHAT!"

Beep beep beep beep. She looked around, only hearing the sound of her alarm in the background. Was that just a dream? She felt tears rolling down on her face. So it was just a dream. She sighed out of relief and wiped her tears away. However somehow she's still quite anxious about the dream. Everything becomes quite blurry why that kitty said goodbye. But she could still feel the pain he left her, even if it was just a dream. She never thought that it would be that painful if her partner would leave her. But there was something before he said goodbye, something important.

While she was still deep in thought, trying to remember what she dreamed of again, Tikki turned the alarm off and looked at Marinette worriedly. "Marinette… You're going to be late for school."

That snapped her out of her thought as she looked at her alarm and screamed. "I'm going to be late again!" She gets out of her bed as fast as possible, but she tripped at the stairs and fell down. "Ugh… This is not my day." She stood up as fast as she can and opened her closet to change her clothes and then grab her backpack. This time while she runs downstairs, she tries not to trip.

Just like almost every morning, she just came in the classroom when the bell rings. She quickly sits down next to Alya, smiling awkwardly at Adrien when he smiled and waved at her. Alya chuckled a bit and bumped softly with her elbow at Marinette. "You really should come to school earlier, sleepyhead."

Marinette just softly laughed it off, knowing that that wouldn't easily happen. Mostly not if she would she's tired after defeating the villains. Yesterday was also very tiring, the villain was surprising really strong and it took twice longer to defeat it than normal. She sighed a bit and decided to just pay attention to the lesson, totally forgetting about the dream she had.

"Girl, you got bags under your eyes. Have you been staying up watching yesterday fight of Ladybug and Chat Noir? Or have you been staring at your computer screen again or something else related to Adrien?"

Alya didn't pay much attention on her during class, but when it was lunch time, she was able to see Marinette's face better. Even though she doesn't really sound that worried, as if this was very normal, she does look worried.

Marinette just waved it off and smiled. "No no, I was just designing some clothes and I totally forgot the time."

Of course that's a lie, but she knows Alya would buy it. She did something like that before and she does love designing so much that she would continue till it's perfect, so she knows that Alya would just believe her. And besides that, she's not ALWAYS staring at her computer screen. Okay, her background image is beautiful, just like the posters she has in her room. No, it's beyond beautiful, it's godlike. Just as she was thinking how amazing the person on the posters and her background image is, that very person stands in front of her and smiled at her. He really smiles just like an angel does. Okay, no, she doesn't know how an angel actually looks like, but if she would meet one she's sure they would also smile like that. Yes, totally sure about that, or just like a god. No, an angel suits Adrien much more, an innocent and kind person.

"-nette… Hellooooooo, earth to Marinette."

Alya almost screamed the last part right next to her ear and Marinette looked a bit angry at her for that. "What?"

"Well I said, Nino and I planned to hang out after school. And of course he wants to bring his girlfriend with him, so want to join us Marinette?"

Alya and Nino blushed a little by what Adrien said, but really like the sound of it. Nino still bumped his elbow against Adrien's side softly acting as if he minded what his friend said. Marinette looked a bit dumbfounded, but then everything progressed in her mind.

"Y-yes! Of course! You're great! No, I mean. The idea is great! Not like you're not great. You're totally amazing. No, I mean-" Alya shoved her flustering friend aside before she goes on and on. "She would love to join us, Adrien."

Adrien looked a bit confused at Marinette, but just shrugged it of. He's already happy that she wants to join. He really doesn't want to be the third wheel and Nino also didn't want to hang out with Alya alone without leaving his buddy behind. Nino is really a great friend, always trying to hang out with him as much as possible. Nino knows that Adrien didn't got to spend much time with friends, well, he didn't even had friends before coming to school aside for Chloé. But she doesn't really count, he never really saw her as friend and she also doesn't see him as a friend. More like something to brag about with other people so they would feel jealous. That's why it's really great that he got such great friends now.

Now that he thinks about it, Marinette acts quite different around him then towards other people. Even towards Chat Noir she seems calm and more comfortable. He wonders if Marinette actually sees him as a friend, like he sees her as a friend. Maybe she's scared of him? No, that's not possible, if she would be scared she wouldn't be so kind to him. But why does she seem so uncomfortable around him? This is really confusing him, but maybe he could try to get closer to her on this hangout? Maybe it's more a double date. No, no, no, that's wrong. He can't think of this as a date, Marinette is just a friend and his heart already belongs to Ladybug.

"-ey. Hey buddy, what's wrong?" Adrien looked at him quite confused, seeing that the girls already left. "The bell is about to ring and you suddenly gone silent. Everything alright?"

So that's why everybody was already moving towards the classroom and that the girls are already gone. He must really have been in deep thought to not notice a thing. He smiled kindly to Nino. "I'm fine. Just looking forward to hang out with my friends. It's not that often that I'm able to do so."

Nino almost wanted to hug his friend, it's just so sad that he got that stern father who mostly locked him up in his house for years. He got CHLOÉ as only friend, that's just sad. He put his arm around Adrien's shoulder and smiled bright. "We will have a great time today, buddy! And we will hang out a lot in the future too~"
