"Okay, children, I think your going to like this next lesson as it involves writing and art," Ms. B said, and Marinette looked up, excited. Art was her favorite subject, but writing came a close second!
"Your project is to write and draw a picture of the person you most admire. You'll have twenty minutes, and then we'll hear how who you choose!"
Marinette nibbled on her pencil. She couldn't pick Adrien could she? After all, she not only admired him, she had a crush on him! But then she might reveal her secret to the whole class (not that wasn't obvious or anything) and she didn't want to make a scene. Hm…. Oh! Marinette giggled and started scribbling furiously.
Adrien however, had no trouble who he'd write about. M'lady. The sounds of pencils scratching filled the room, but Adrien was curious. Marinette would let out a occasional giggle, and swatted Alya away when she tried to look.
"How's your drawing, Adrien?" Marinette asked, her drawing now complete and face down on her desk. "You want to see it?" he handed the drawing over, watching Marinette turn quite pink and she smiled softly as she looked at the drawing. "Aw, I didn't know you admire me! Am I the person you admire the most?"
Oh, Adrien could feel the sweat prickle under his armpits, as he didn't want to hurt Marinette's feelings. Wait, did she mean her as in Ladybug?!
"No!" He blurted. How deep was this hole? "I mean, I admire you and all, but it's supposed to be Ladybug." Was Marinette Ladybug….wait a minute!
"Marinette? You want to be the first to show us your drawing?" Marinette skipped to the front.
"The person I admire most is Cat Noir," she begin, and Adrien nearly had a coughing fit. Her drawing was amazing accurate from his gold bell and she had made his hair very floofy.
"He's charming, funny, saves damsels from distress, while still getting a paw in the cookie jar when I'm not looking. That boy has skills!"
Oh, Adrien was hot, on fire. If Marinette really was Ladybug, and she admired Cat the most…
"Ms. B? May I get some water?" Adrien croaked. "Go ahead, but be quick."
"Plagg," Adrien gasped at the fountain. "Did you know about this?"
Plagg shrugged at grinned. Hopefully he would be able to show his own drawing without passing out from happiness, but after school, M'lady would have some explaining to do….
