Marinette snuck into the classroom. No one was surprised. She was late again as always. She caught a glimpse of Adrien. He had a content look on his face. Almost a smile. He was listening to the lesson. Of course he wouldn't pay attention to her…
She went towards her usual spot, but Nino had taken her place next to Alya. Best not to disturb them, she thought. She knew Alya liked him. Ha! He must have made a move.
She looked around the room for anywhere else to sit. She couldn't sit next to Adrien after all. What would he think?
"Hey Marinette! Come sit with me!" Adrien quietly said while he smiled and waved to her.
She almost fell over. "What? Am I hearing things" She smiled nervously and went to sit down next to him. She was shaking and her heart was beating so fast. "Adrien invited me to sit with him!" She thought to herself. A dream come true. She never wanted this class to end. Though class went on and eventually the bell had to ring. It went on without a word spoken between them. She felt a little disappointment. But she did get to sit with him, did she not? She started to pack up her things.
"Hey um… uh" Adrien was looking nervously down at the desk…
(Two days earlier)
A frustrated photographer was looking at his work with dissatisfaction.
"What is this? This is horrible! We cannot use these!"
Adrien released himself from his pose.
"Why not?"
The photographer stared at him.
"What do we need? What are we missing!?"
Adrien was modeling for a new clothing brand. They were becoming quite popular among many people. The company had chosen Adrien, the son of a well known designer, to model their latest items. Though there was one issue. The photographer could not seem to be happy with what he was capturing.
"We need a girl." he said looking at Adrien displeased.
"We need it to be romantic. Bring the people in! Have them say 'that's how I want to look! I want a love like that!' Oh young man you are to young to understand the desires of love!"
Adrien stared at him with confusion.
"Ok…?"
"Do you know any girls who would work?" The photographer determined to finish his work properly.
"Um…" Adrien had no one in mind. He thought of Ladybug. How he would love to bring her. She would never agree to this though. Then he remembered his friend Marinette. 'She's cool,' he thought. Surely she would agree. She loves fashion.
"I may… know of someone!"
"Grand!" Exclaimed the photographer, "bring her here on Monday! We shall continue then."
