The next morning Marinette walked to the studio as usual during the weekends but this time she wasn't alone Alya Nino Nathaniel and Chloe were with her. Alya was telling the group how amazing it was that she, a high school blogger, was going to have an interview with the famous popstar Chat Noir.
Marinette was particularly listening to her but her mind was too busy thinking about what the text she received the night before said. Alya noticed that Marinette wasn't paying attention. "Hey girl, why are you spaced out? Too busy thinking about your boyfriend Chat Noir?" She said playfully.
Marinette blushed and rolled her eyes as she signed. 'He's not my boyfriend. I don't like him like that and even if I did he wouldn't like me like that. He's a popstar and I'm just a normal girl.'
The truth was that Marinette really liked Chat that way but like she said or more like signed he wouldn't like her like that, they were from two different worlds or that's what she thought at least.
"C'mon girl you're so in denial it's obvious that you like him and who knows maybe he likes you too." Alya stated.
"Yea and even if he doesn't yet he might later on after all he has mentioned to you and to the press that he considers you as his best friend who knows that feeling might develop." Chloe added.
Marinette signs. 'Really guys I don't like him like that he's just my best friend.'
"Well I can't wait to see Chat Noir, his music rocks. Maybe he'll allow me to show him some of my mixes and who knows maybe he'll add them to his music." Nino stated as he was walking next to Alya.
"I can't wait to get his autograph." Chloe stated excitedly holding a pen and a folded up poster.
"He might let me show him some designs I have for his music videos." Nathaniel added from next to Chloe.
Marinette smiled at her friend's excitement for meeting Chat Noir. She remembered how excited she was when she first went to the studio though she hid it, well she hoped that she did. Though as much as she was a big fan of his she wasn't fond of Chat's flirting thing but after meeting him he wasn't as bad as she thought.
Now she was happy that all of her friends would meet and hopefully they will see that Chat isn't as different as they think. As they were getting closer to the studio Marinette pushed away the thought of the text and smiled knowing that she was soon going to see Chat.
..
Adrien was in his dressing room in his Chat Noir outfit which is just his hair style in a different way than what it is as Adrien and he had green contacts on so his eyes looked more cat-like and he was wearing a black hoodie on. He was waiting for Marinette and her friends to arrive. He arranged the interview with Alya because he was impressed with the Chatblog and having an interview that wasn't the press would be refreshing. Honestly if Alya was not Marinette's friend he would still offer Alya the interview.
The only thing he was worried about was Chloe. As far as he knew Chloe doesn't know that Adrien and Chat are the same person based on his encounters with her as Adrien but she might realize it's him if she sees him up close face to face when he's Chat. Especially with his voice he does change it slightly as Chat but Chloe could recognize it since she knows what Adrien sounds like.
Adrien doesn't worry about anyone else knowing that he's Chat because no one would know that it's him. Besides Chloe and a few others who worked for his dad no one knew what Adrien looked like since it's been 10 years since Adrien has been out in public.
Adrien wasn't even worried that Chloe would announce it to the whole world that he's Chat if she finds out since Chloe wasn't like that but either way he didn't want anyone to know the truth not yet anyway.
At that moment there was a knock on his door so Adrien stood up from his chair and went to open the door. He saw Marinette and who he assumed was her friends standing there. "Hi Marinette, are these your friends?"
Marinette nodded and before she could say or more like sign anything Alya stood in between them with her phone already pointing at him. "Hi Chat Noir, it's nice to meet you. I have so many questions to ask you."
Adrien smiled. "You must be Alya Cesaire Marinette's female best friend and the honor is all mine. I would like to answer all of your questions but during our interview not right now with us standing in the middle of the hallway."
Alya nodded, putting her phone down. "Right, sorry."
Nino walked up to Adrien. "Hey dude I'm Nino I think your music rocks. I am also involved in music as a DJ."
"Hi Nino, nice to meet you too and that's cool I would love to see your stuff." Adrien replied.
Chloe went in between Alya and Adrien. "Chat I'm your biggest fan.. Well besides Alya can I get your autograph?" Chloe asked excitedly as she pointed the poster and pen at Adrien.
"Uh sure." Adrien signed the poster. "You must be Chloe."
"You know who I am?" ChloƩ asked in shock and excitement.
"Well you are the daughter of the mayor and Marinette only mentioned two female friends so if she's Alya you must be Chloe." Adrien replied.
Chloe nodded. "Fair point." Chloe looks at him closely. "You know you look like someone I know."
Adrien holds back his nervousness. "Oh really who."
"Eh it doesn't matter he's so anti-social." Chloe replied. "Nothing compared to what you are."
"I see and you must be Nathaniel." Adrien said as he looked at Nathaniel.
Nathaniel nodded. "Yes and just like Marinette I draw though more comic style than designs."
"That's cool so why don't we head to the interview room and start that interview?" Adrien suggested and everyone nodded as Adrien closed the door of his dressing room behind him and they started walking.
Adrien and Marinette were in the back of the group and he could tell that Marinette was being quieter than usual. Plus she was looking around as if she was looking for something or someone. "Looking for someone princess?"
Marinette looks at him. 'For Gabriel Agreste I supposedly got a text from him last night saying that he would be at the studio today and knowing that I'll be here he wants to talk to me.'
"GIRL THAT'S HUGE WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING." Alya exclaimed since she saw what Marinette signed.
Marinette signs. 'Well I wasn't sure if I should have or not it could be a prank.'
"If that's the case why is he walking over here now." Adrien replied as he saw his dad walking over to them.
"Miss. Dupain-Cheng?" Gabriel asked once he stood in front of Marinette. Marinette nodded in disbelief that her idol was talking to her. "I have seen the designs you have done for Chat Noir and I think that you have potential so I would like to offer you the opportunity to become my intern and have a full ride at the best design school in Paris once you graduate from high school and don't worry you'll still work with Chat Noir. What do you say?"
Marinette was in shock and she looked at her friends and Adrien who just gave her encouraging smiles. Marinette took out her notebook and quickly wrote something on a page that read. `Yes, of course I would love to.'
"Great, you'll start after school on Monday. I'll see you at my house. Now if you'll excuse me I have business to deal with." With that Gabriel walked away.
Alya and Chloe squealed going to Marinette as the boys just congulated her. "Marinette, this has been your dream for years, this is amazing!" Chloe and Alya said at the same time.
Marinette nodded still in disbelief of what happened. "Congratulations princess, you deserve it, you're the best fashion designer that I know." Adrien said with a smile.
Marinette looked at him and blushed slightly. 'Thanks Chat.'
Adrien kinda knew that this was going to happen. Yesterday he talked to his father about giving Marinette an opportunity in his company though he didn't expect his dad to offer Marinette to be his intern and must less give her the full ride to the best design school in Paris.
"Okay now let's go to the interview room. I believe there's an interview waiting for me." Adrien stated and everyone nodded before starting to walk again.
