"What class do you have next, Marinette?" Adrien asked as Marinette put her math book in her locker. "English, why?" "I have study hall next hour so I thought I could walk you to class. I just need to ask Nino something first."
Marinette watched him go as Alya walked up. "Hey, Adrien knows I know way to English right?" she asked her friend. "Marinette, he's trying to spend time with you." "Oh, that makes sense." "You ready?" Adrien asked a minute later. Marinette nodded, and they headed out. "I like your ribbons today," Adrien said, admiring the pink ribbons in her hair. "Oh, thanks. Valentine themed. I wonder if we'll be working on Valentine's poems," she mused aloud. Adrien grinned. "Oh, is there a guy you like Marinette?" "If I told you, it wouldn't be a secret, would it?" she grinned back. "But yeah, there is."
Adrien walked her to the door, not leaving. "I'll see you at lunch?" she asked. "At lunch," he smiled, bending down and giving a little kiss. Half of the hallway turned to look at them. "Bye!" Marinette squeaked, racing into class.
Marinette was right, they were working on poems. Then again, her teacher loved romance. Marinette dutifully wrote out a poem, then sat back. What should do now? "Marinette?" Nikki whispered in her bag. "Now is your chance to make a poem for Adrien!"
Marinette took a fresh sheet of paper and bent over her work, soon lost in her thoughts.
"The winter may be gray and dreary,
Snow and slush, what a pity.
But one thing that makes me warm all over is when I see you smile.
Your always there for me when I need a hand up, or just need to talk.
I know I'm shy and quiet like flower, not quite sure when to unfurl.
Your gentle words and listening ear, are like sunshine and music to my ear.
Funny and Charming when I need a laugh,
A comforting shoulder when I need to cry.
Adrien, your a pure ray of sunshine, golden and radiant,
Never change and just stay the same.
-Marinette
"Psst! You want a sticker?" A girl asked as passed around a box. Marinette grinned when she took a heart sticker from the box, a happy feeling bubbling up inside her as she sealed it. Before she met Adrien for lunch, she quietly stole to his locker. Before she dropped in, she put her name on the envelope and sealed with a kiss.
