Ok, so this took longer than I expected, and it will probably be longer than chap. 1, so enjoy.

"What are you talking about? Do you really think I'm going to run in my heels? If you do, you have another thing-" The look on Marinette's face was enough to get her to start running away.

"What's that all about?" Great commentary from Kim, who had just shown up in the courtyard after seeing Chloe run out.

"I'm going to play a game of hide and seek, except when I win, Chloe won't be bothering me anymore. Mostly because she won't be able to open her mouth after what I do to her." And of course, Marinette is always able to deliver. Adrien was seeing the side of his classmate that he had only seen once before, except this time, it was way worse and not directed at him.

He was surprised to find that he found her rage stunning. And when everyone turned their head to look at him, he was even more surprised to see that he had said that out loud.

Marinette was so caught up in her rage that she (thankfully for both herself and Adrien) hadn't heard him. Alya proceeded to take off her coat while she watched Chloe disappear back into the depths of the school.

"9.87 seconds to go Marinette." Of course, Kante is punctual in the face of awkwardness.

"Good. Say when, and don't give me a countdown. Now, who thinks they can keep up to watch, and who wants to stay here?" only Adrien volunteered to run with her, as he thought he could match her pace.

"Now!"

She was off. Adrien had decided to pace himself, as he thought he would be much faster than her, but when she started running, he was dumbstruck.

He chased after her, not wanting to slow her down. When he rounded a corner, he found her messing with some wire,and the lock on a closet.

"Because I can't actually hurt her, I'll just lock her in here with an imitation key." Surprisingly, he found that he didn't need explanation, and drew a similarity to Marinette and his lady. Are all girls with blue hair good at makeshift weaponry?

She then decided to sweep the school slowly, checking behind doors and under desks. Adrien knew that Chloe would hide for longer than she would run. They swept the school, and were trekking through a classroom, when he thought he saw Marinette's head tilt. she held up a hand, clearly wanting silence, and after a while she jerked her head in the direction of the Girl's Bathroom.

"stay out here. don't try to capture her." with that she rushed in. how come she was able to hear that? I must be relying on my cat ears too much.

After waiting a few minutes, he heard Chloe before she ran out. Hot on her heels was Marinette. He ran close behind her and watched Chloe take the stairs down to the courtyard, where their friends were waiting.

He was surprised to see that Marinette decided to jump from the second floor instead. Before he could reach out and grab her, she fell. Adrien had a small heart attack as he watched her do a flip.

...

Wait, what?!

He never thought Marinette would be capable of such a move, at least thinking she would lose her nerve, but all of his thoughts flew out the window when he realised the grin on her face, and that she threw him a wink in the middle of a double-backflip.

It was the same move he and Ladybug had practiced last night on patrol. as his thoughts slowly came back, he had a small movie reel play in his head. The reel was of someone drawing Ladybug, and then erasing her mask. Underneath was Marinette.

Shit.

She would be so mad he found out because of a wink and a smile that she sent him while chasing after Chloe.

As everyone watched Marinette land in front of Chloe in awe, they didn't see her pull out about five pipe cleaners in the shape of a key. They did, however, see her kick Chloe into a broom closet and use a key to lock her in.

Meanwhile, Adrien was still on the balcony, watching his lady win applause for her bravery.

so he had a perfect vantage point of Nathaniel walk up to her with a bottle of water, and then ask her out.

CHAPTER THREE WILL BE UP SOON! Adrien will be a jealous bean. Stay tuned my friends!
