Adrien's POV

At school the next day, I'm already at my desk when Marinette comes in, and I can already tell she's going to be avoiding me, by the way she averts her eyes, when I glance up at the door opening.

When she sits down beside Alya, I immediately hear the whispers of their conversation.

Before too long, the teacher comes in, and starts our lesson with an announcement.

"Students, listen up! Starting Monday, for the entire week we are going to be taking part in a new program.

All of you will be affected, but two of you specifically. Adrien and Rose, you both have been chosen for the roles." Miss Bustier says.

I raise my hand, and when she points I ask, "What exactly will we be doing?"

"In short, this school, and a few others, are going to be having something similar to a foreign exchange, but less foreign. We will be partnering with some families who homeschool, and having one of those students come to school, while one of ours studies at home."

"Am I going to be the one homeschooling?" Rose asks, raising her hand.

"Yes, and Adrien will chaperone our temporary student, since he was homeschooled as well."

This sounds interesting.

I wonder if y/n will be our new student, or at least one of the schools.

Hopefully this one though.

"Alright, now that we have that out of the way, let's move on to Beauty And The Beast." Miss Bustier says, and goes on to talk more about our book reports, but since Marinette and I have finished, I only half pay attention, and start thinking.

I should ask y/n tonight if she's heard of this, or is even being one of the students.

Though I would like her to come here, it may not be a good idea, since we'd want to hold hands and be together, but of course nobody could see us being anything more than friends, or y/n would probably be labeled as a cheater.

All through the day, the announcement is made in the different classes, why they didn't just announce it, I don't know.

In my class with Lila, she remarks how since she was homeschooled she could have been chaperone, and I roll my eyes, who knows if she even was homeschooled?

I'm just glad she wasn't picked, especially if it really is y/n coming here.

And I was right about Marinette, she even went home for lunch.

I think I noticed Alya giving me a hard stare once or twice as well.

Nino sees this as well, and asks what it's about.

"Did you know Marinette had a crush on me?" I start off.

"Uh, yeah, kinda."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"She didn't want me to!"

"Ok, ok, anyway, she told me yesterday, and of course, I told her I'm with Y, so her and Alya are upset with me I guess. Don't get me wrong, I feel bad that I never noticed, but I can't help that I don't like her in that way, or the fact that I fell in love with someone else."

"Yeah, dude. They shouldn't be mean about it."

"I'm just glad we finished our project, so we won't have to work on it today."

"That's good at least."

I nod, and since school is over, he goes home, and I go to the store.

Going over to the candies, I get mine and y/n's favorites to share later.

Of course I get some camembert too, much to Plagg's delight.

When we get home, I nod to Felix,  who is sitting in the living room, and go to do my homework.

===============================

After dinner, your parents announce that they have something to tell you.

"Now we know that you didn't like school before, but we thought it might be a good idea for you to participate in a program some local schools are doing." Your mother starts off.

"And what program is that?" You ask.

"For you to go to school for a week, and some other student be homeschooled that week." She continues.

"Wait, are they going to be here?! Doing my schoolwork?"

"No, at their own house. And they will probably be continuing their own studies." Your dad puts in.

"It's just for a week?"

"Yes, unless you want to continue." Your mom offers.

"I doubt I will. When is this happening?"

"Next week, starting Monday." Says your dad.

"Wow, short notice much?" You remark.

"We know, but it's taken a while to finalize everything, because we were bargaining against a few others for a specific school, that you would be sure to like." Your mother says, clearly trying to make you appreciative.

"Which one?"

"Francois Dupont."

"Hey, that's where Adrien goes!"

"Yeah, why do you think we tried so hard to let you be the one going there?" She says with a light laugh.

"Well, I doubt I'll enjoy being there much, but at least I'll have Adrien. Thanks for getting me there."

"You're welcome. Now remember, be nice to the kids there, you can't just yell at them if they interrupt your studies like you do with s/n." Your dad says with a pointed look.

"Don't worry, I'll be nice. As long as they're nice." You mutter the last part.

"Wait, you said you had bargained for me to go there. You didn't mention that I know Adrien, right?" You quickly say, before they can mention your mumblings.

"No, of course we didn't. You can trust us to not tell, you know." Your mom points out.

"Yeah, Yeah. And I won't have to continue my regular school during that week too, right?!"

"No, don't worry."

"Ok, good. Well, I'm gonna go get some done, so I won't get too behind or anything." You say, and head off to your room.

Later that night, when everyone has gone to sleep, you hear a loud crack of thunder, and jump, at the same time your balcony door opens.

You almost scream, before realizing it's not an intruder.

Well, it could be classified as that, buy you decide not to, since it's just Cat.

"You scared me half to death, you dumb cat!" You say, putting a hand over your heart as he comes over and sits on the bed, laughing.

"Aw come on, surely I'm not that scary?" He says, putting on his kitten eyes, which you always find adorable.

"Maybe not when you do that, but when you act out a horror movie scene, yes!"

"Oh please, you know that if I were in a horror movie I'd be the dashing hero who defeats the horrific creature!" He says dramatically, making you laugh.

Ironically enough, another loud clap of thunder sounds just then, making him jump right off the bed, as if he were a real cat.

"My hero." You deadpan.

He laughs sheepishly, then reaches into his pocket.

"I think you'll mean that litter-ally when you see what I have!" He jokes, pulled out your favorite candy.

"Ok, maybe I do." You say, reaching for it.

He pulls it away teasingly, before you growl at him and he hands it to you.

"And you call me the real cat!"

"Hey, don't act like you've never growled at anybody!" You protest.

"I guess that's true."

"Dork."

"Maybe. But I'm still your dork." He says playfully, and lays across your legs, opening his own candy.

"And this is why I call you Kitty." You say, looking at his curled up form.

"I can't help what's comfortable!"

"Sure, sure."

As you say that, you hear the rain begin to pour down.

"Welp, I guess I'm stuck here!" Cat says happily, eating some more candy.

"Oh joy!" You say sarcastically, before smiling.

"You know you're glad."

"Do I know that? Yes. Yes I do." You tease, making him chuckle.

"Oh hey! I gotta ask you something!" He says suddenly.

"What?"

"Are you gonna do the homeschool exchange thing next week?"

"Yeah, my parents told me about it earlier."

"They announced it to my school earlier too. Do you know which school you'll be going to?"

"Maybe." You say, smirking.

"Does that mean you'll be ay my school?!" He says eagerly.

"Yep!" You say, laughing.

"Yay! I was hoping it'd be you! Because I'm a chaperone, since I was homeschooled!"

"Oh good! We'll have a reason to hang out."

"Thankfully. Though we can't seem too friendly."

"Ah man, that's right. I can't just go up and throw myself into your arms, how dreadful!" You say, dramatically throwing your arm across your face.

"Alas, my dear, we shall be but strangers, lest we be alone!" He says, playing along.

You both start laughing at each other, and continue talking about school, until a bright flash of lighting, and another clap of thunder halt the conversation.

This time you both jump, and since you've finished the candies, Cat gets up and throws them away, then comes and gets under the blankets beside you.

"Is this ok?" He asks, not wanting to get you in trouble, nor push anything.

"We're not doing anything but laying down, same as we were. Now we'll just be warm."

"As long as you're sure." He says, almost being unheard over another loud boom of thunder, making you cling to him.

"Purrfect!" You squeak.

"Aww, don't be scared Angel!" He says, wrapping his arms around you.

You smirk to yourself, as you'd intentionally sounded extra frightened so he wouldn't mind cuddling.

You know he likes it, but he's always worried that you won't, or that somone will walk in, getting you both in trouble.

Plus he dislikes the purring he's inevitably going to start.

And right then he does start, but since he thinks you're very frightened, he doesn't seem to mind, as he knows it calms you.

Before it gets too late, the storm moves on, and he goes home, as he needs to get up for school.

Ugh. I'll have to get up early for a week! You complain to yourself, before going to sleep.
