After that class was over, Nino had finished early with his test and went outside to finish other homework.
Alya had stayed behind to make sure she would pass this test and stay in Auradon. She would get back at Kim for what he did to her. When she was done and got her results, she wanted to thank Nino.
So she jogged over to where he saw him.
Nino was sitting alone at a picnic table. He was finishing up his homework. So concentrated in his work.
The brunette came up behind him with her test results.
He was slightly startled and smiled.
On that test result was a B. Her head to one side where she could see the test too. "For the first time, it's like I am more than just a pretty face." she smiles and he chuckled.
"A shocker, huh?" he turned his head to her.
She dropped her test in front of him and sat next to him. "You were pretty great in there."
He blushed a little. "So were you."
She giggled and smiled. "I bet I can get an A without the smartphone.
"Yeah and hangout?"
"Yeah?"
Uknowningest to them, Marinette was having a panic attack and needed Alya as her support at the moment and for sometime.
"There you are!" she says and stands close to the table on one side. "I have been looking for you literally everywhere."
"What's wrong?" the brunette asked her.
Mainette slammed her hands on the table. "Adrien just asked me out on a..." she took a deep breath. "A date."
Nino chuckled. "Nice."
"We can handle this." Alya said with a smile. "Bye." she told Nino before leaving with Marinette to their dorm room.
They began talking about what she should wear for the date and everything else like that.
Nino sat there by himself again and shook his head. He smiled and got back to work with his homework.

As Marinette and Alya walked back to their dorm room, Marinette kept thinking and thinking some more about how romantic of how he asked her out on a date.
She stood with Alya and Mylène. Waving a goodbye to them and wondering what to do next.
One of her hands squeezed her other arm which was at her side. She sighed to herself.
Adrien walked over to her. A gentle smile on his face. He had finished celebrating with the team a bit. "Hey Marinette. Will you go out on a date with me?"
"Wait...what?"He repeated himself again with the question.
"Will you go out on a date with me?"
"Uh.." she looked up at him and an answer came rather quickly than what her own thoughts had processed.
"Yes. Hooray! I will lead you somewhere special, princess." he kissed the back of her hand and went back to his room to ready himself up.
Both girls looked through her closet. Two dresses and some leather clothes.
Alya picked out a red knee length dress that had the ends of the dress be a pink. While the rest was either a hue or shade of red. The bottom where the pink was was a shade of red. From light to dark of bright red to a blood red. It was quite beautiful on her. Even Alya couldn't describe how she looked.
On her feet were little slippers that almost nearly resembled her Ladybug suit.
Her hair was nicely brushed and wavy just a bit and now all that was left was the last touch ups.
Alya gently brushed on some blush on her.
"Okay." Marinette stopped her friend from adding more blush. "Easy on the blush. I don't want to scare him away." she smiled. "Not that I could."
As Alya was finishing, she smiled too. "Please. My mom taught me how to apply blush before I could talk." She exaggerated that a little. "Always use upward strokes." she put down the brush and closed the blush container. Then opened the lipstick of a nice pale pink.
"My mom was never really big on make-up tips." She let her apply it. "I've never had a sister."
"Well, now you do." Alya exclaimed as she gently dabbed the lipstick on Mari's lips with her index finger. "We're going to need all the family we can get if we can pull this off. My mother's not a barrel of laughs when she doesn't get her way." She continued working a bit. "Just ask Trixx."
A question popped up in the blunette's mind. "Are you afraid of her?"
"Sometimes." Alya was being honest and had finished up. "Are you afraid of your mom?"
Her hands were on her lap. "I just want her to be proud of me." She pauses and looks down. "She just gets so angry with me when I disappoint her. And yeah, she's my mom. So I know she loves me." She smiles and gives her friend eye contact. "In her own way."
"Ready to go?" Alya asks.
Mari nodded. She looked at herself in the mirror and straightened herself up.
"I know." Alya hugged her from behind.
She felt so beautiful and it was something that she never really got to experience before. "I look.."
"Say it." her friend encouraged. She was still hugging her.
"Not hideous."
"Not even close." Both girls laughed.
Alya stopped hugging her and left her be to where Mari could see her true beauty.
Marinette looked at the intricate designs of the dress. Golden stitches with the pink that held together and made her seem so elegant. Then the black stitchings around the waist band that made a beautiful design with flowers. She looked at herself with the reflection of the mirror.
