A/N: Umbrella scene included in this chapter. Sorry I spoiled it. HAHA.

Without expecting, one year has passed. Marinette was really excited on her first day at fashion university at University of Notre Dame. After all this time, she studied really hard to reach her career. Now, she already graduated and there was only one university that have offered something to do with fashion industry.

She was happy because that is the university where her bestfriends, Nino and Adrien were studying. That was why she had a surprise for Adrien that she won't tell him. Not even a word. She laughed when she remembered Adrien's expression at the resort, last year that she said 'we will meet again after this summer end.' But, she didn't have time to hangout with them sadly.

As a matter of fact, They could hang out together because they went to the same university. I can hangout with them although Alya didn't go to the same university. Marinette wondered.

"Come on, Alya." Marinette said in hurried. "Okay, girl. We still have another half an hour. Relax." Said Alya. "What?! I don't want to be late on my first day of university. What if my teacher mad at me and I will lose my..." Marinette panicked but instead, Alya interrupted her, "You always have a negative thinking. Try something positive, Marinette. I attend to that university. The principle is not very strict." Alya explained.

"Yeah? Really... What?! You go to the same university? You didn't tell me early! But why you and Nino didn't recognize each other when he started to stay at the resort last year?" Marinette asked.

"Surprise? I don't know. I've never seen him go to the same university. Maybe it's because we're not in the same class? Or we're not at the same place at the same time?" Alya predicted.

"Come on, Al. We already eat our breakfast." Marinette said. "Relax, Mari. This is your first day as a freshman in university... we still going to hangout during lunch break together, right? Although I'm your senior... Looks like I'm your sister." She teased.

"Don't pick on your junior, Mrs.-going-to-be-a-journalist." Marinette laughed. Alya also laughed. She said again, "I just realize, within us four, I'm the youngest and three of you ate my senior." She said in a lower voice and her smile faded.

"Hey, that's okay." Alya approached her. "I know. it's just that, I don't know if my old friends go to the same university. I have a hard time to contact each one of them. I don't know if it's hard to make a friend in university. is it easy or hard?" She asked Alya.

"It's hard, actually. Albeit it's difficult, you are friendly, I know you can make a friend easily." Alya smiled at her bestfriend. She smiled in returned and said, "Lets just get down into business. Lets go, Al, we already waste 15 minutes of our time doing a pep-talk." Marinette said. Alya nodded and Marinette grabbed Alya's hand and went to a parking lot.

They shared their transportation together and drove the car straight to the university.

As Adrien and Nino arrived at the University of Notre Dame about 30 minutes ago, Nino couldn't help but saw Adrien's worried face. "Hey, dude. You okay?" Nino asked. "Yeah, fine. I was just... Marinette said we will meet again after summer end but I didn't meet her until this new year is coming." Adrien confessed.

"Don't worry, dude. Maybe she's busy, you know, resort's manager's daughter. She'll probably busy." Nino tried to calm his bestfriend. "Yeah, maybe. I miss her so badly." He answered.

Nino just remembered something, "Oh... Hey... dude. Mari starts university this year, right? Maybe she goes here?" He tried to cheer him up. Then, a small blushed appeared on both of Adrien's cheek as he smiled.

"Right. Maybe. I will find her during lunch." He said. "Looks like we play hide and seek." Nino laughed. Adrien rolled his eyes. They started to head to their classroom.

__________

When they arrived, Nathanael was in a vey good mood and both Nino and Adrien were curious as to why he acted like that. So, they came over to Nathanael's desk and are going to throw a questions to him.

All of the boys feel the same way as Adrien and Nino. All of the boys started to make a circle around him. "So, why are you in a very very good mood today?" Nino started.

"Is this something to do with a girl?" Kim teased. After Kim said that words, Nathanael's face started to go as red as his tomato hair. "I knew it!" Kim exclaimed. "Hey, calm down! Yes, it's about a girl." Nathanael answered.

"Please this girl don't be Mylene." Ivan tried to hold back his jealousy. "Of course not. This girl, I just met her today." His face was dreamy.

What if it's Marinette? What if they already a couple? What if she also likes him? What if... eeh... that's a lot of 'what if' Did I just quote Troye Sivan song? Adrien was lost in thought. He was afraid that Nathanael was talking about a woman of his dream.

"...huh?" Ivan asked. What the fudge. Did I miss something? Adrien thought. "No, she's a junior. Her face is beautiful... no... gorgeous. That's the correct one. Her hair is dark blue-ish. Something like that." Nathanael answered. Did he just talking about my lady? He thought. Again.

"What's her name?" Adrien asked. "I still don't know. I will ask her during lunch if I have a free time." Nathanael answered. 'Oh.' was Adrien's only answer.

After the conversations were ended, they went back to their own spot. "Hey, Chloe's absent? What a wonderful day!" Adrien exclaimed. "Oh. Dude. Speak of the devil." Nino whispered. Adrien groaned when he heard Chloe's footsteps.

Chloe burst into the classroom and hugged Adrien. "Adrihoney!" Chloe yelled and Adrien pushed Chloe on the shoulder tried to avoid her from kissing him. "I'm sorry I'm late. I know you miss me." Chloe said and started to flip her hair in front of Adrien and he blinked. Actually, I don't miss you, Chloe. He tried to answer like that.

He only gave her a small laughed. After a minute later, the professor was arrived in the classroom and started the lesson. Adrien let out a sight of relief.

It was now a lunch time. Marinette waited for Alya to come out of the classroom. just a minute later, Alya came out of her classroom and went towards Marinette's direction. "Hey, Alya. Isn't that Nino and Adrien?" She pointed to Nino and Adrien when they came out of their classroom.

"Oh, yeah. Lets go surprise them." Alya quietly said. Marinette nodded and was inquisitive how would they reacted.

Adrien and Nino were talking, they didn't notice that someone was following behind them until Marinette covered both of Adrien's eyes. "Chloe, just leave me and Nino alone, we're going to have our lunch." He sounded angry and tried to remove those hands but they were too strong.

"Actually, this isn't Chloe." The voice replied. That sounds like... Marinette?! He thought happily.

Then, she removed her hands away from Adrien's eyes. She smiled at him and he smiled back. He really missed to see that smile. He hugged her really tight. "Uhh... Adrien... you hug too tight."

Marinette tried to breath. "Really? Sorry. I miss you so bad, purrincess." He flirted.

"Still with the puns, huh?" She laughed and ignored the word 'I miss you.'

"Uhmm, just to remind you. We're still here." Alya coughed. "You have no idea, Mari, last year, he kept talking about..." Nino said but Adrien covered Nino's mouth before he could continue saying something embarrassing.

"About what, actually?" Marinette asked. "Uhh... nothing." Adrien answered nervously. She stared at Adrien like she didn't believe him but just ignored it and continue their conversation about their life.

After the long talk, The four bestfriends headed towards the cafeteria.

__________

Adrien and Marinette were searching a place for them to eat. While Nino and Alya were in a Q-up, waiting.

"So, you new here, Al?" Nino asked. Alya laughed at his question. "I'm here since last year, on January." Alya answered. "What?! Are you serious? I've never seen you here before." Nino said.

"Yeah. If Marinette didn't tell me, I don't know you also study here." Alya encountered.

After they took their lunch, they went back to where Adrien and Marinette were. Then, the four of them ate their lunch together and having a conversation.

__________

Nathanael was in class with Kim and Max. He totally forgot that he needed the girl's name that he fall in love with. "Guys. guys. I met this girl during lunch. Her name is Alix. I get to know her today. She likes skating. Why juniors this years are beautiful, huh?" Kim said.

"Oh my... guys. I'll be back later." Nathanael said and ran towards the door but suddenly, without having a chance, the bell rang. It means that their lunch break was over.

"Better luck next time, Nath." Max shouted and laughed. He ignored him and went back to his seat.

As the lesson comes to an end, Everybody went back to their home. Almost all of them brought their umbrella because the cloud were getting dark. To Marinette's unlucky day, she didn't even bring one.

She waited outside for Alya. Then, someone covered her head with a black umbrella. She turned around and saw it was Adrien.

"Hey, Adrien. Where's Nino?" She asked. "He's at the locker. Forget something." He answered.

"I'll wait Nino in my car." Adrien stated and Marinette nodded. "Here. Take this." He handed his umbrella to her. She was probably blushed at his offered. "I-I can't t-take it. You'll get w-wet." She stuttered. Why am I stuttering? She thought.

He laughed and said, "That's okay. Besides, I'm a gentleman, after all, my lady."

She didn't know what should she say. Then, she quickly took the umbrella and couldn't help the blushed that appeared on her face.

"You tomorrow see me... n-no... I-I mean you see I tomorrow? N-no, no. I see you tomorrow." She stuttered again and waved at him when he started to walks. He just laughed and waved back.

After that, Alya was arrived. "I'm sorry, girl. I'm late." Alya apologized. Then, blinked. "Why are you blushing, girl?" She asked. "I think I'm in love." She answered. She just remembered that last year. Adrien had done a lot of good things to her. Was she that oblivious?

Then, Alya waved her hand in front of her. "You have a lot of explanation to do. Lets go home. We'll talk about this at home." Alya explained and grabbed Marinette's hand.

A/N: How's my viewers/readers today? Anything good happen? Btw, Nathanael is a flirtatious guy in my fic. Be aware. *wink* HAHAHA
