Marinette's POV- "Tikki, how did the old miraculous holders manage to balance out their superhero and school work... It's complicated and stressful"

I flop onto my bed completely exhausted from all the action me and cat noir has been doing. I take out my phone sending a quick message asking Alya for the homework that needs to be done.

As soon as a whole minute has passed, I heard my phone make a tingling sound notifying I received a message. As expected it was Alya. "No new homework today but why weren't you in class today. Not like it wasn't expected."

Alya was right, it's become a habit to come late to classes or even worse miss the class completely but what was I supposed to do, let the evil dudes destroy all of Paris? I took my phone and dialed her number and right after the first ring she immediately picked up.

M- I'm sorry I wasn't in class today, I had important errands I couldn't miss out on and plus I missed an opportunity to spend the day with Adrien.

A- Ok, first off you miss an opportunity to spend the days with him every single day and second you won't talk to him you'll just make goo goo eyes at him.

I knew Alya was right but I seriously couldn't talk face to face with Adrien... I just can't.

M- I could've... You never know.

A- uh huh yeah... But you better make a move on Adrien before someone else does and my someone I definitely mean Chloe bourgeois.

Ugh just the mention of her name makes me want to puke but once again she was right Chloe wouldn't be afraid to make the first move on Adrien. I just hope he has higher standards and not looking for someone like HER.

A- Anyways, I have to really go now, bye girl.

M- Bye Alya.

After that phone call, I decide to head towards the park to ease my stress at least a little bit and so that what I exactly did.

Time skip to when she reaches the park*

I sit at the bench staring at the sky all dumb struck until I heard a familiar voice greeting me. As I look at the person to see if my assumptions were actually right and fortunately it was.

"Hey Marinette" greeted Adrien.

"Heyyyy..." I responded and although as expected I would be a stuttering mess but to my surprise I didn't and in pretty sure Adrien noticed it too since I saw him twitch and blink in surprise right after I responded.

"Is anything wrong?" he asked. I decided to remain silent thinking I might say something I might regret later on. "Ok, even I know that was the most stupid question asked, obviously there is something wrong and it's ok if you don't tell me but just know I'll be here if you need a shoulder to lean on" he offered giving one of the most heart melting eyes you'll ever see.

Now how do you expect me to act completely chill when he's basically giving me an offer I know I can't resist but I really can't risk giving away my identity. So instead of using actual words to respond, I just respond with one slow nod.

"I understand, I hope you'll be alright" he says as he turns away with a shy smile before walking away. Now I really don't know what happened but I immediately stood up and yelled "Adrien, Wait"

He turned around with those kind and irresistible smile.
