"Hey, how do you think you did on that test yesterday?" Alya asked the two boys as they turned their chairs to face the two girls behind them. This morning ritual was one of Adrien's favorites, since they would be like a close little group chit-chatting and laughing together.

"Oh, you mean the one I bombed?" Nino answered with a sigh. Adrien felt bad for his friend, but at the same time, he really never studied for them…

"That's the one," Alya nodded, and Adrien figured she had a similar result.

"Yeah, that was crazy hard!" Marinette joined in, "That last short answer question didn't even make sense!"

"I think I at least got a B," Adrien finally joined in, crossing his fingers, "But I won't be surprised if I don't."

Adrien was usually confident in his grades, and we has still pretty confident in this one, but if he acted like he just got a one hundred while everyone else failed, that would be a jerk move.

"Dude, if you get anything below an 80, I'm screwed." Nino said as she smacked his head against Alya's desk. Adrien patted his back to help him out, knowing Nino was being dramatic.

"Let's just hope for the best, I guess," Marinette laughed, joining Adrien and patting Nino's head.

"I didn't even have time to cram or anything," Adrien sighed, leaning back in his chair with a pout, remembering the night before the test, "I had to get a haircut!"

Normally, his haircuts were quick, but he recently got a new stylist who took five years just to decide if the left side was good enough.

"For real? What, was it a centimeter too long?" Alya laughed, looking at him in faux shock.

"It's my bangs," Adrien answered with a smirk, pointing up to them, "They grow fast."

He wasn't lying, either! He was like one of those elementary school girls whose hair just kept growing, especially in the bangs. He even debated wearing a hair-tie once and a while just to get it out of the way.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Alya laughed, holding up her hands, "My mistake."

Adrien heard Marinette laugh with her, and he couldn't help but join a little at her antics. Alya was dramatic, too. How did a little homeschooled model make such dramatic friends?

"I haven't had a haircut in a while," Marinette mentioned, brushing her hair lightly.

"It looks nice long!" Alya said quickly.

"Aw, you think?" Marinette blinked, and Adrien was happy to see her so flattered at a small compliment, even if he didn't say it.

"Yeah!" Alya agreed, and Adrien couldn't help but nod with her. Honestly, he didn't care much if her hair was long or not, it looked fine either way. He was nodding to make his friend happy, which was more important than hair, after all. In fact, Adrien was about to say something nice about it, but before he got the words out, class started.

Adrien got the high B he was expected, which was a relief. He could watch as Nino physically deflated when he saw his grade.

"Dude, I can help you study or something," Adrien offered. He was being honest, too, he was happy to help him study.

"I need a miracle worker, not a tutor…" Nino said, his voice muffled since his head was down.

"I'll put a message for Ladybug on the Ladyblog for you, Nino," Alya joked.

Adrien laughed with her, wishing it were just that easy. Put a message on the Ladyblog and reach her, just like that. If that were true, he'd be the blog's most frequent visitor. Well, he was anyway, but still.

"What kind of grades do you think Ladybug actually gets?" He asked, facing the girls. He already had an entire mental list of what he thought she was like, but he wanted their opinions, too.

"All A's, definitely!" Alya answered immediately, "She's definitely the smart type."

"Really?" Marinette asked, she seemed pretty surprised, "How can you tell?"

"She's a natural leader! And you can tell, she's super precise about everything, she has to be an all A student. Probably in some honor thing, too." Alya explained passionately. Adrien agreed with her whole thing, nodding with her. She was bound to be some kind of genius!

"What about Cat Noir?" Nino asked, startling Adrien, "How do you 'analyze' him, Alya?"

"Hmmm…" Alya started, and Adrien couldn't help but smile, ready for his friend to unknowingly analyze him, "He's definitely not failing anything, but he's probably not an all A like Ladybug. Maybe… Maybe a B-C average? Except in P.E., obviously."

Adrien couldn't tell if he was offended or not. It was good that he was that indistinguishable from his counterpart, but at the same time, he was an all A student! He at least deserved credit for that…

"Do you think their superhero strength carries over to their normal lives?" Marinette asked, as the group gathered their books to leave.

"Probably!" Alya answered proudly, "Maybe not to the super extreme extent, but like, enough for them to be the top of their class, y'know? I bet he's the captain of some sport team, too."

Well… Fencing?

"What sports do you think they play?" Nino asked as they started to leave the school, "Don't you think they'd be concerned over their identities? Like, won't someone notice if some random basketball player has superstrength?"

Fencing, not basketball, Nino.

"Well, like I said," Alya corrected with her signature sass, "the whole superstrength doesn't carry over, they're just better than others, like a really athletic kid or something.

"Whatever you say," Nino laughed, "I gotta get going, see you guys later!"

"I should get going soon, too," Alya started, checking her phone, "I'm being summoned for babysitting duties.

"All right, see you Alya! Text me!" Marinette waved, Adrien waving as well.

Adrien saw his driver pull up for his fencing lessons, and waved his goodbyes to Marinette.

"Have fun!" He heard her call as he walked away.

She sure was nice. He smiled and waved another goodbye as he was driven off. He was glad to be her friend.

On the car ride to his lessons, he thought about Ladybug. He really wished he knew more about her. As enjoyable as making conspiracy theories with his friends was, he would much rather have a concrete image of Ladybug. But he would never push her for it, but still, he'd love to know more about her. Maybe one day she'll open up more…
