Nathanïel was devestated he hadn't come to school because of the incident. Marinette was his love. He deserved to be with her but Adrien got in the way.

His mother had forced him to go to school that day. He couldn't face the class, he could look at Adrien the same way.... he couldn't face Marinette.

He walked into school feeling a thousand eyes on him. He quikened his pace to get to class.
"Hey,isn't that the boy who had a crush on Marinette."one said.

"Yeah, she already had boyfriend but he didn't know and to little to late for him. Ur...I still can't believe Marinette's dating Adrien."said another.

Nathanïel was crying, his head bent down in hopes that no one would see.

Juleka was coming out of the art room. She maybe a quit awkward person most of the time to others but she was sensitive and caring and loved art. She was carring a box with some of her drawings when she bounced into some one, Nathanïel.

"Ow!....sorry Juleka," Nathanïel said as he picked Juleka up as well as himself.
"Wow,did you draw these?"he asked.
"Yeah,"she said shyly as she picked up her box,"I'm entering an art contest gets to go with the winners from the singing contest to Hawii!"

"And you want to go?" Nathanïel asked.
"Well yeah the world is full of storys this may start a new chapter in mine,"Juleka said wisely.

Nathanïel couldn't help but love that about her she was doutful, shy and awkward at times but she did have her moment. He picked up her box for her.

"Want some help, I won the contest last term,"Nathanïel said as he gave Juleka the box and followed her to the class room.

"Sure,"she replied.

When they entered the class room Nathanïel spoted Adrien, Alya, Nino and Marinette.

The beautiful Marinatte. He felt himself being drawn to her. He remembered he had a present for her he entered the conversation.

"H...hi guys,"he said dumbly.
"Oh hi Nath I missed you,"Marinette said.

Nath couldn't believe it Marinette missed him. Yes they were friends but could that mean something.

"Ur...I have a birthday bresent for you, soory its late,"he said handing her the box.
Marinette smiled and opened the box, it was a drawing of her and all her friends as if they were in a selfy.
"I love it, thank you!"she said as she huged the stunned boy.
Adrien was cool with the fact that othet people liked Marinette after all she was amazing in her own way that people loved. He thought once she and I are together all is well.

But for Nath the fact that Adrien kept his cool was a good sign that he wasn't bandanf from being near Marinette.

Juleka saw his reaction to the hug and was overwelemed by a blushing face she wasn't the lovey dovey type but she did have a crush on him.

"Uh... sorry to ruin the moment but Nath when do you want to meet?"she asked as she set down the heavy box near Marinette.
"Tonight if you want?"he said.

That night Juleka and Nath sat on a park bench painting the night sky in silence until Juleka dpoke up.

"You know Marinette's not going to fall for you,"she said.
"What!?" Nath replied.
"She has Adrien and to me they deserve each other."she said in a whisper.
"I know I just thought maybe she..."he said before he was interupted by Juleka.
"Never destroy a good thing because it might change to a diaster!"she blurted out.

Nath looked at Juleka she was blushing. She looked beautiful in the moon light." Hi y...you want to grab a bite after school tomorrow?"he said with a blushing face.
"Sure," she replied.

The next day at school Nath was walking into class and Marinette walked up to him.
"Nath I have a surprise for you..."she said"Adrien and I won the battle of the bands competition and want you to come with us to Hawii."

Nath was over joyed Marinette was inviting him to Hawii. He took a deep as Marinette handed him the ticket.

Later that afternoon Nath told Juleka everything that happened.
Juleka was happy for him but nervous too the Art contest was in four days and she needed the help.
"That's really great but....."she said before Nath broke in.
"I need her to consider me a friend if we go on this trip. She needs to like me....."he said before leaving Juleka.

He rushed over to the Bugurie Hotel to see Chloè.
"I desprately need your help...their's a girl I like and I want her to notice me,"he said as Chloè filled her nails.

She looked up with a disgusted face." Sorry Nathaniël you'll need a geneous to help you."
Nath looked with a slight gleam in his eyes."but aren't you a geneous?"he questioned.

".......Of course I am I was just testing you."she said getting up" now hold on master has work to do."

Four days later Juleka was a complete mess. The art competiton was today and Nathaniël was m.i.a.

He was supose to be there as her mentor. At that very instant a boy walked into school. Everyone began to whisper as he passed by.

"Hi Juleka,"he said as he stoped in front of her.
"Nath...Nathaniël?"she questioned.

"Yep like the new me?"he asked.
"Well...nevermind that where were you for the last four days? Forget it we have to go now the art contest starts in like.... 5 minutes!"she said dragging him off to the auditorium.

"I know but first I have to see Marinette."he said grabbing his hand away and walking to class.
"I can't believe you,you said you would help me but yet you go missing and now you want to go impress your crush that already has a boyfriend," she walked away with tears in her eyes.
