A/N: Another chapter!

Adrien and Nino just arrived at school. Adrien told Nino that he went to a bench near a cafeteria to meet Marinette. Adrien also told Nino that he could go without him and he did as Adrien told.

He was 15 minutes early and now waited for Marinette. He thought that Marinette was already there. Where is she? He thought. About five minutes later, there was Marinette went to his direction.

"Sorry, I'm late. There's a traffic jam on my way here." She told him. "That's okay. Lets get started." He said. "Okay." She answered. She explained to him on how to make it even better.

"...how about Ladybug theme?" She asked. "That will be more clawsome and also don't forget Chat Noir." He winked at her.

She rolled her eyes. "I will include Chat Noir if you stop making a puns." She protested. "How will Chat Noir survive without puns?" He asked wickedly. "Ughh. I hate you." She crossed her arms.

"No. You love me." He said. "Yes, I do." She said confidently without stuttering. Adrien blushed on what she just confessed.

Then, a realization hit her. "N-no, no. It's not what you think it is!" She was embarrassed now. "I didn't quiet hear you, actually. Can you repeat it for me?" He teased.

"Thank goodness. Anyway, I'm not going to repeat it." She laughed.

Oh my goat. She's cute. Did I just make a pun? He thought. Suddenly, he cupped her face with his bare hands.

He didn't know what he just did. Marinette jumped a little and turned her gaze toward him. Both were looking at each other's lips.

Is he going to do what I think it is? She thought. Then, Adrien closed both of his eyes and started to lean in closer. Marinette also closed her eyes and started to lean in. Almost there. Adrien thought.

To their unlucky day, the bell started to ring. They both startled at the sound of the bell and now away from each other's almost-touching-lips. Ughh, I'm almost there. They both groaned in thought. They both look at each other's eyes and blushed.

"I, uhh, see y-you to-tonight." Marinette stuttered. "Y-yeah." Adrien answered. Both were on their way heading to their class. Without knowing, someone was watching everything except didn't hear the conversation.

In Marinette's class, she couldn't focus on the entire lesson. Her friend besides her notice that. "You okay, Marinette?" She asked. "Yeah. There's nothing to worry about." She said.

"Are you sick?" Her friend was concerned. "Yeah. I'm lovesick." She answered and smiled. Her friend just chuckled at her statement.

"Marinette, Lila. If you don't want to study, just go out already." Madame Bustier was furious. "Sorry, Miss Bustier." They both apologized. As the lesson ended, it was now fashion subject. Marinette's favorite one.

"Hmm, Marinette. I'm quiet impress with your work." Mr. Andy said. "Thank you, sir. I'm dreaming about being a fashion designer." She confessed.

"Since fashion is related to art, I think you should meet my senior student. His name is Nathanael Kurtzberg. He's my best student at art. I want you to introduce yourself to him whenever you want or during lunch time. Ask anything about art. It can help improve your skill in drawing." He said.

"Sure, Mr. Andy. I will do it. What class is he in?" She asked. She would do anything when it comes to her favorite subject. "He's in BE10 class." He answered. She just nodded.

"Okay. Class dismissed." Madame Teresa said. "Before that, Adrien, I notice that you didn't pay attention during my class. I hope your grade is still mantance." She continued.

"I'm sorry, miss. I was just thinking on how to solve the algebra." He lied. She just leave the class without saying a word.

"What's up with you today, dude?" Nino asked. "I'm almost there, Nino but ughhh!" He groaned. "Wait. What? I don't get it." Nino said but he ignored him. When they reached the door, Nathanael interrupted them by saying, "Why is she with you?" He asked madly.

Both turned their gaze to Nathanael. "What?" Nino and Adrien asked at the same time. "Why is the girl I love with you before our first lesson started?" His toned was now serious.

"What's up with you guys? First, Adrien's acting weird today and second, are you both enemy or something? Yesterday you guys just okay. Ughh! I don't understand. I should take my lunch with my girlfriend than wasting my time thinking about it." Nino groaned.

"Just go take your lunch, bro. I'll go deal with Nathanael." Adrien suggested. Then, Nino went out of the classroom.

"What is your problem?" Nathanael gave him a dead glared. "I should ask you that question." Adrien said back. "You didn't answer my question!" Nathanael shouted angrily.

"She just asking me about fashion, okay?" Adrien sighed. "Then, why you guys are going to kiss each other?" Nathanael was jealous.

Is he jealous? I should make him even more jealous. He thought. A mischievous smile appeared across his face.

"Umm... maybe it's because she wants me?" He teased. "You son of a..." He was going to punch him in the face but a knocked on the door interrupted him.

__________

"Umm. Hello?" Marinette said shyly with her friend next to her. Then, she saw Adrien standing besides Nathanael.

"Hey, A-Adrien. You're in this c-class?" She asked. "Yeah, purrincess. Why?" He tried to make the tomato head jealous.

"I was just, uhh... I want to meet a guy... his name is..." She didn't remember his name and asked Lila, "What's his name?" She whispered. "Nathanael Kurtzberg." Lila whispered back.

"Uhh, Nathanael Jerksberg." She said and Lila bumped her shoulder to Marinette. She saw Adrien laughed at her. "What I mean is... uhh... Nathanael Kurtzberg." She laughed nervously.

Then, a wicked smiled appeared on Nathanael's face. Before he went to Marinette, he whispered to Adrien. "Better luck next time, Banana Hair because now, she wants me." He chuckled.

"You don't even know what she wants, exactly. She even call you a jerk." Adrien rolled his eyes. Nathanael was about to do something to him but got interrupted by Marinette's voice.

"Are you done yet? Because this is important!" Marinette protested. Then, Nathanael made his way to her. They talked outside.

Then, without anyone knowing, Adrien tried to eavesdrop every single word they're talking about.

__________

So, this is Nathanael? He' so handsome. Lila thought blushingly. "Hi! I am Marinette and this is Lila. One of my classmate." She started the conversation. "Oh, Hi Marinette! Hi Lila!" He greeted. "H-h-hi." Lila said nervously.

"I'm just going to say that, Monsieur Andy said that you're good at art. Since I'm a fashion student, I need to be just like you and improve my skill in drawing. I just want to say that I will tell you if I have a time to practice." She mentioned in detail.

"Yeah, sure. Before that, do you want to go out with me tonight?" He asked sassily. Am I jealous? Hope Mari say NO to him. Lila thought. "What?! I barely know you!" She protested.

"That's why I asked you to go on a date with me. So that, we can get to know each other." He replied

"Oh. But, I'm sorry. I've got a thing to do tonight. You can bring Lila with you." She said.

"W-what?!" Lila shouted. "Just another time." He said. Then, went back to his class. "I am really sorry!" She yelled.

"Better luck next time, Tomato Hair." Adrien laughed. Nathanael rolled his eyes. After that, Adrien went to the cafeteria.

"What's up with him?" Marinette asked Lila. "I don't know. Maybe he likes you. I've seen it through his eyes." Lila sounded broken.

"Seriously. I take it as a bad news. I like someone else." She confessed. "I think you love him, do you?" Marinette continued.

"Oh, uhh, don't tell anyone." Lila blushed. Marinette smiled when she saw her friend said it.

"You should capture his heart. So, he didn't bother me." Marinette said very fast. "Maybe. I hope it will work if I use my own way to make him mine." Lila said.

"Good luck with that, I hope it will work." Marinette said. "Are you hungry? Because I'm not. If not, lets just head to class." She mentioned. Marinette shook her head.

After that, they both made their way to class.

A/N: Lila is a kind person and bestfriend of Marinette. Just to let you know.
