Marinette P.O.V.
"It was so romantic!" Alya exclaims as she tells me about her date with Nino on Saturday, I'm actually here forty five minutes early since I wanted to know all the details about Alya's date. I hold my face in my cheeks and imagine Alya and Nino on their date, she just gained two million followers and he asked her out to celebrate!
"And then, as we strolled through the park under all the lights he turned around and gave me this!" she says as she pulls out a necklace from under her shirt. It's a silver necklace with a charm shaped as a red rose surrounded by small silver roses, dangling from the rose is a ladybug.
"Oh, it's beautiful Alya! So you!" I tell her as I admire her necklace.
"I know just the thing that would go with that!" I tell her as I reach for a bag at the side of my desk, it's a pink bag with little ladybugs painted all over it.
"Congratulations on getting two million followers!" I say as I hand her the pink bag.
"Girl! You shouldn't have!" she says as she takes the bag, and gives me a big hug. She opens it and inside is a knitted red sweater with red dots to resemble a ladybug.
"OMG! A ladybug sweater! Girl, you are the best friend ever! How long did it take you to knit this?!" she asks as she takes off her jacket and puts on her red ladybug sweater.
"It was nothing, it's totally your style and matches what your wearing! Want me to take a picture for your blog?" I ask her, it actually took a lot longer than I expected to make that damn sweater! I spent all weekend working on it, my hands ended up sore! Luckily my skin is a lot better since my mom put some magic remedy on my skin, it even smelled nice which was a bonus.
"Yes please! I want to brag about having the best friend and boyfriend in the world!" she says as she hands me her phone with the camera already on.
"We can get better lighting outside" I tell her as I notice her silhouette looks rather dark, and you can barely even see or appreciate the vibrant red color that her sweater is.
"True!" she says as she grabs my arm and pulls me outside the classroom with her. She finds a well lit area and I start snapping pics of her in different angles, I make her go to different spots around the school to see where I could get the best shot.
"You could be a model Alya!" I half tease her as I finally hand her phone.
"Very funny, thanks for the sweater Mari," Alya says as she squeezes me in a hug. She releases me and starts typing in her phone, I'm guessing she's updating her blog with the pics.
"Good morning love!" I hear, I turn and see Nino.
"I'll leave you two love birds" I say as I nudge Alya's side and give her a teasing wink, I go back to the classroom and take a seat at my desk. I start sketching some outfits so I have things to work on during break.
I feel my phone vibrate and take out my phone to see a notification from the Ladyblog, she works fast! I look and see she posted a picture of herself in her ladybug sweater showing her necklace as well, the caption reads - "as a celebration for reaching 2 million followers, the best friend ever made me this awesome ladybug sweater, and the best boyfriend ever got me this necklace!" under it she puts (Pic credit: Marinette Dupain-Cheng a.k.a. best friend ever).
I giggle and put my phone back in my bag where Tikki is I see her and wink as I close my bag. One more week left of school and I can't wait until winter break, I won't have to come sit in this desk for three weeks!
"H-Hi Marinette" I hear a familiar voice greet, I look up and see a familiar red head.
"Why, good morning Nathaniel!" I say to him with a smile.
"Y-you look l-lovely this morning!" he says a blush covering his face, I notice his hair looks different today, he looks really cute actually!
"Thank you! You look different today, new haircut?" I ask him as I notice how I can see both of his eyes.
"Y-Yeah! My mom kept pleading me to cut it, and some kid got gum in my hair so I kind of had to..." he says looking at the floor.
"It looks good on you! You have an attractive face and this style helps accent your features" I say to him, as a wannabe designer I know all about these things.
"D-Do you really think so?!" he asks me surprised.
"Of course! Your speaking to a hopefully future fashion designer, you can trust me on these things" I say to him making him smile.
"I bet you'll be a great designer!" he says, I smile at the compliment.
"And you'll be a great artist! I bet you'll comics will always sell out" I tell him as I remember he loves to make comics.
"Hopefully! Now that I remember, I wanted to ask you if you could help me design some outfits, if you don't mind of course!" he says, his blush growing a deeper shade of pink.
"I'd be honored to help you" I say cheerfully.
"Well if you look at that Sabrina! The two nerds are interacting! Marinette, you do know he has a crazy crush on you right?" Chloe says as she walks into the room.
"That's none of your business Chloe," I say to her, very annoyed.
"I wouldn't get my hopes up tomato head, she obviously has a crush on Adrien. Not that he'll ever like her back," Chloe spits out.
"Chloe, don't you have better things to do?" I ask her getting even more annoyed.
"Now that you mention it uglinette, I do!" she says as she sticks her nose up and continues walking to her desk, I let out angry say and calm down.
"Wow, doesn't Chloe intimidate you?" Nathaniel asks me.
"Not really, she annoys me more than anything though" I tell him. "So about that outfit, what's it for?" I ask him changing back to our topic.
"Oh, it's for a character! I'm entering a comic contest, and am centering it around a model who gets saved by a villain! She falls in love with him and makes him good again!" Nathaniel explains, I can't help but daydream about it! It's such a good plot!
"That sounds amazing Nathaniel! I would be honored to help you, in return will you let me read it when your done?" I ask him.
"O-Of co-course!" he says, I smile at him, he really is a nice guy.
Adrien P.O.V.
I enter school fifteen minutes early and I see Alya and Nino holding hands while looking at her phone, I walk over to the lovey-dovey couple.
"Good morning lovebirds" I say to them making them look up from the screen.
"'Morning bro," Nino says as we do our handshake.
"Good morning," Alya says rather coldly.
"Is Marinette not here yet?" I ask them, I notice Alya's knitted ladybug sweater and try my best not to fanboy.
"Oh she's here alright, she gave me this sweater as a matter of fact! A hand knitted Marinette original," she brags to me. It makes me a little envious but I remember I got Marinette to make me a hoodie, even better, a hoodie that matched with hers!
"I'm going inside then, I'll leave you two" I say as I take a step back, I want to see Marinette, all weekend I was busy with christmas photo shoots! I couldn't even check my phone because Natalie would be pushing me from one place to another.
"'Kay bro" Nino says as he turns his full attention back to Alya, I can tell Nino got hit right in the face with love. When we hang out together he mentions her all the time and asks advice on how to make her happy not that I'm very good with this love business. I think it's great how in love he is.
I walk to the classroom and see Kim and Max talking outside the classroom, I wave to them and say good morning as I walk in.
"H-how about we go to the c-café around the corner?" I hear an all too familiar voice ask, I look and see Nathaniel standing next to Marinette's desk, he has a crimson blush all over his face while Marinette smiles at him.
"That's a good idea! I've been dying to try their coffee, and it's supposed to be a very quiet place, so it's perfect!" Marinette says to him, causing him to turn a darker red, I swear I'm trying my best to keep my calm but he just... ugh.
"R-really? T-Then I'll wait for you at the entrance after school" he says to her, wait... ARE THEY GOING ON A DATE?! How can this be happening? This can NOT be happening! This is what happens for being a fool, it was just a matter of time before someone snatched my bugaboo away from me!
"Adrikins! Why are you just standing there!" Chloe exclaims as she quickly grasps me into an unwanted hug, I try to pull her away but I can feel everyone staring at me. I look up to see Marinette looking at me but she quickly turns her head and faces Nathaniel. Noooooo.
"Please get off me Chloe" I plead to Chloe, I'm sure that if Marinette is going out with Nathaniel, there is a reason, no need to make a big deal! But if Chloe keeps acting like this Marinette won't be able to see I'm serious about her!
"Chloe! Off!" I whisper/yell at her almost hissing. I hear a giggle and see that it's coming from Marinette, I can feel my face warm up and manage to push Chloe off of me.
"Hmph!" she says as she turns around and goes to her seat, to where Sabrina is sitting down rapidly typing on her phone. Probably doing something for Chloe. I finally walk to my seat.
"Good morning, Mari" I greet Marinette, I look over to Nathaniel and manage to muster a "good morning Nathaniel".
"Good morning" they greet back, Marinette smiles at me and I can't help but blush.
"What are you two up to this morning?" I ask savvily trying to get an explanation to why they are going to some café.
"Nothing, I'm just making plans with Nathaniel for after school" Marinette says, she has a smirk on her face, I know what she's up to, trying to make me jealous.
"Is that so?" I ask, trying not to grit my teeth, even though I know what she's up to I can't help but feel a tinge of jealousy.
"Y-yeah, Marinette is going to help me with a comic" Nathaniel tells me, bingo!
"Oh really!?" I ask, lifting my own mood up.
"Yeah, have you seen Nathaniel's drawings? He's really good," she tells me, she has a look in her eyes that makes me want to grab her and full on make out with her. Wait, what the hell?!
"Wow, I'd love to see your drawings someday Nathaniel," I say more to Marinette then at him.
"Oh you will, I'm almost a hundred percent sure he will win the comic contest he is entering" Marinette brags. I love it when she's like this, I look at her and cause her to blush.
Just then the bell rings and we all take out seats.
Marinette P.O.V.
"What was that earlier?" I ask Adrien as I corner him during lunch break.
"What do you mean?" he asks me innocently as he leans back onto the wall of the small corridor we're in.
"Oh, you know what I mean, I'm talking about this morning when I was with Nathaniel. That look and attitude you had" I say as I poke his chest.
"Hmm, mua? I don't think I did anything wrong" he says giving me a smirk, and leans his face towards mine. I swear this boy will be the death of me.
"Could it be you were jealous?" I ask him.
"..." he replies nothing but he widens his eyes, is he getting nervous? He opens his mouth but nothing comes out so he looks away instead.
"Cat's got your tongue" I ask him, now he's blushing(?).
"..." still no reply, just a flustered Adrien who is avoiding eye contact, he murmurs something I can't hear but sounds a lot like "as if tomato head", I just roll my eyes. There aren't any reason for Adrien to be jealous, because 1) I'm just helping Nathaniel 2) Adrien isn't in love with me... yet.
"You know I'm kidding, you don't have any reasons to be jealous anyway" I say to him as I turn around "see you in class" I say as I walk back inside. Deep down, I kind of hoped he was, even if in the slightest, a bit jealous. Don't fool yourself Marinette.
"I thought you liked Adrien!" Alya says to me as we get dressed in the locker room.
"Keep it down Alya," I whisper to her as I put on my boots and look to make sure no one is around,
"It's just I don't get it, you're going to a café with Nathaniel when just a month ago you were goo-goo for Adrien" Alya scolds me.
"Look Alya, I'm just helping Nathaniel with some designs for his characters, explaining my situation with Adrien is a little difficult but if you really want to know how about we go somewhere after school tomorrow? I can explain everything over a pastry or coffee" I tell her as I put on my scarf, I'll have to lie a little but it's the only way I'll make her stop asking.
"Deal, tomorrow we can go to that café your going to today" she says to me.
"Fine," I say with a sigh, I grab my bag and backpack. The bell rings and I bid farewell to her as I walk to the entrance, I spot a familiar redhead who smiles at me.
Alya P.O.V.
"Ok men, operation stalk Marinette has COMMENCED!"
A/N: So? I know it's a little boring but next chapter is coming in Alya's Point of view which will be rather interesting!
Question! Would any of you like or even care to bother reading any other books or one shots written by me? I have a lot of ideas for one-shots so I've been thinking of making a story dedicated to one shots! (Miraculous Ladybug ones of course) I still don't know though, I have many stories and one-shots in my documents that I haven't posted yet but have considered posting.
As always thank you all for being so lovely and reading my story! Thank you for following, favoriting and reviewing my story! 'Till next time lovelies!
