Adrien: M-Mari?!

>At Marinette's room

Mari: Omg. Omg. Omg. Omg. Omg...!!!! OMG! What do I do...?! Adrien's Chat and now he knows Im Ladybug! I bet he's disappointed...!

Tikki: Marinette, dont be like that! He could be happy that its you!

Mari: I could tell, from his eyes, Tikki..! He was disappointed!

Tikki: Marinette.. Are you going to ignore him from now on?

Mari: If thats what it takes.. I just.. dont want him to laugh and say my imperfections as Marinette and not as Ladybug...

I know Im not perfect, I know Im sloppy and reckless..

>The next day, at school

I was at the classroom, I was drawing some designs. I have to keep my mind out of that subject as long as I can.

Alya: Hey, Mari. Im going to the cafeteria with Nino and Adrien. You coming?

I turned to Alya and sweat-dropped.

Mari: N-nah, go on ahead. Im not hungry.

Alya: Okay, I'll just bring you dessert?

Mari: *smile* Th-thanks, Alya.

Alya: Yeah.

I watched Alya leave with the others and I turned my head to my sketchbook. I dont want to go there with Adrien.. It would be.. awkward. I cant draw well with my mind in a storm.. Im so distracted...

???: Marinette?

I felt someone pat my shoulder and I freaked.

Mari: Wh-what?

I looked, it was Nathaniel.

Mari: N-Nathaniel. Phew. What's up?

I sit down and he looked at me.

Nathaniel: Are you okay..?

Mari: Hm? Oh. Um. Yeaha-ha-ha! Like, why wouldnt I be?

Nathaniel: I just noticed that youve been pressuring on your pen when your drawing. You always draw lightly.

Mari: Oh, that? I was drawing something VERY detailed so I had some stuff shaded and all...

Nathaniel: Oh, okay. Um, a-anyway. Do you want to do a collab with me on the art project? I figured that youre very good in designing...

Mari: Oh! Good idea! I'd be happy to, Nathaniel!

Nathaniel: Great! *big smile* I'll desigh the body and you design the clothes?

Mari: Great idea! Okay Nat, when do we do it?

Nathaniel: Nat?

Mari: Is it okay? Nat's a cute nick name, dont you think?

Nathaniel: Nat.. I like that.

Mari: *smiles* So, when do we do this project?

Nat: Can we do it this weekend?

Mari: Sure. But.. where?

Nat: Mm.. My room is a mess.. its hard to ogranize. *nervous laugh* (In mind: My room is full of Mari's posters. I cant show her that...!)

Mari: Then.. the park? My room is a mess too. (Adrien... I need to remove those soon...)

Nat: Great, we'll do the project at the park?

Mari: Mm-hm.

Nat: Is 1 okay?

Mari: Yeah.

Nat: Okay, see you then.
