A/N: Thank you for the support, Miraculers! :) I know this one if short, but it's honestly the best I think I could do for now. So there will be another part, maybe 2 more. Just remember, this story is written entirely for fun. So forgive me that the plot's not that complex and the dialogue isn't that great. This is just supposed to be a cute, funny story :)

Oh, and, just pretend Nino and Alya aren't in the same science class as Adrien and Marinette ;)

Part 2

Adrien had been keeping an eye out at school all day, but not once did he find a guy with black hair and blue eyes talk with Marinette, nor did he happen to notice her gazing at any guy with black hair and blue eyes.

Unbeknownst to him, all her gazes were directed on him.

Even at lunch Adrien kept a look out for the elusive man. He moved his glare around the whole cafeteria, looking for the guy that would walk to Marinette and possibly talk with her, or he'd just pass by and she'd look after him longingly.

His jaw unconsciously tightened.

"Dude, you okay?" Nino asked, giving his best friend a concerned look. "You look like you hate the entire school."

Adrien blinked, schooling his features to appear confused. "Really? I didn't notice."

Nino suddenly grinned. "Are you developing a resting bitch face?"

He burst out laughing at his own question, while Adrien just smiled and rolled his eyes. He added a playful punch to the shoulder for good measure.

"Ha. Ha."

Nino managed to calm down. "But seriously, bro, what's wrong?

"Nothing," Adrien dismissed, taking a bite of his lunch. "Nothing's wrong. Just-ah-got a surprise photo shoot after school today."

Nino frowned. "That sucks, man. Good luck."

Adrien's lips automatically turned up from his friend's concern. "Thanks."

...

All day, and Adrien couldn't find the black-haired, blue-eyed dream guy. Granted, there were a few men with that look combo around the school, but Adrien neither saw them talk to Marinette or her look after them longingly. Maybe he was absent?

He scowled as he copied down the last of the notes in science class, the last class of the day. At least if he saw the guy he'd know who and what he'd be competing with, but sadly, it was a bust.

"Alright, class," Mme. Mendeleiev announced, still maintaining that ever-present frown. "That's all for today. Make sure you do the questions on page 55."

The bell rung as soon as she finished the last word, it was almost as if she knew exactly when that bell would ring right down to the mili-second. Although, Adrien mused, she must have after teaching here for so long.

"Hey, Marinette?"

He turned around in his seat out of reflex when he heard the name come from the unknown guy's mouth, ignoring the other students who were steadily filing their way out of class. And when he saw him, his green eyes instantly bulged.

Jacque. Jacque, with black hair, blue eyes, and who a lot of girls had a crush on.

He bit back an angry hiss. So this was the guy Marinette was swooning over? He wasn't that good looking, he thought. His hair didn't look like it could rival coal, it wasn't that dark. It didn't even look that thick, either. And he certainly didn't think he could get lost in his eyes, that weren't like the ocean and honestly reminded him of...of...they were just ugly, okay?!

"Hey, Jacque, what's up?" She asked brightly, donning a big and friendly smile.

Great, just perfect. Now she was smiling at him.

"I'm having some trouble in science, and I heard you were too. Do you wanna do the homework together? You know, like two heads are better than one?" Jacque replied, chuckling towards the end.

Aw, hell naw. Now he was asking her on a study date? Er, homework date? No! He couldn't let this happen, he wouldn't!

"Sure! I think that's a great idea."

Adrien visibly deflated. She agreed. Now what? He couldn't let this strange man be around her for the day. What if he tries something? What if he kidnaps her? What if he drugs her? What if he homework date rapes her?

Marinette and Jacque paused in talking, turning to look at the only student in the room who had been obviously glaring at them.

"Um, Adrien?" Marinette asked timidly. "Ar-Are you o-okay?"

"Yeah, is something up?" Jacque asked, slightly frowning.

Adrien scowled at his rival as he stood and picked up his bag. "Nothing's up," he spoke curtly. "See you guys later." He walked out of the room without a single look back, causing the two teens to stare at each other in bewilderment.

Marinette couldn't help but be worried. Adrien was always so happy, and even if his mood was sour, he'd bounce right back with a smile. What could be bothering him so much to warrant that kind of behavior?

"So, anyway, do you wanna study at the park? I think it'd be better, it's more open and that," Jacque went on, almost awkwardly.

Marinette smiled. "I think that's a great idea. I always think better when I'm outdoors."

"Great! So, we'll meet there at three?"

"Sounds good."

Meanwhile, Adrien had his back pressed against the wall outside the classroom door, shamelessly listening in on their plans.

"Geez, first you give everybody the dirty look, then snap at Marinette and Jacque, and now you're eavesdropping," Plagg commented with a growing smirk. "Who knew jealousy could make you act like this?"

Adrien grit his teeth. "I'm not jealous and I didn't snap at them."

"Sure," Plagg agreed dryly. "So let me guess, you're going to spy on them when we're at the park?"

He grinned, green eyes glinting. "Yep. Good thing I came prepared."

He opened the flap on his bag and reached a hand in, pulling out a pair of small, black binoculars.

The kwami shook his head. "Somehow, I'm not surprised."
