Author POV

In the courtyard, you were reading a book that Annabeth gave you as Marinette was reading a magazine.

Marinette: Leo: Your heart's gonna roar.

Then she turns the page and sees pictures of Adrien on both pages but one page is with you.

Marinette: Wow, roar!

Marinette and Alya giggles as you smile and said.

You: Mari, I think you need to cut that other page so you can only gaze at Adrien.

Marinette; Oh, if you say so.

Across the courtyard, Nino is spying on them. Adrien appears behind and teases Nino.

Adrien: FYI, Marinette's never going to fall in love with a statue.

Nino pulls Adrien so they can hide.

Nino: Shhh! You know I'm no good with ladies, especially this one all of a sudden. I mean, dude, do I go up to her and crack her a joke? Shoot her a compliment? Invite her to the zoo? Play it serious?

Adrien: Nino, you're way over-thinking this. 'Invite her to the zoo', you serious?

Nino: Well, they have this really cool new exhibit there.

Adrien: Listen, just be yourself, man.

Nino: That's easy for you to say, Mr. Front-of-the-cover-Teen-Model-weekly-together-with-Y/N. I'm not that cool.

Adrien blush when he heard your name.

Adrien: You're cool too, dude, trust me, or you wouldn't be my best bud. Invite her to the zoo. She'll say yes. I promise.

Nino then starts to gain confidence and he starts walking over to You, Marinette, and Alya. But he just panics at the last minute and runs back to Adrien.

Nino: What if I act like a mornosaurus, or she disses me or thinks I'm lane or?

Adrien: Okay I got your back.

Both Adrien and Nino fist-bump.

Outside of College Francoise Dupont...

You, Alya, and Marinette are walking out of the College, while Adrien and Nino are hiding behind the banister. Adrien signals Nino and they come out of hiding. Meanwhile, Marinette is holding the magazine in front of her as you still reading.

Marinette: Oh, he's such a-

Alya: Smartie, hottie, suavisimo, yummy-tastic spellbinder!

Marinette: All of the above.

You then stop walking as Marinette bumps into Nino.

Marinette: Huh?

Nino stands very still in front of her, with a wide and nervous smile. Adrien appears behind NIno and said.

Adrien: Oh, so sorry.

He nudges Nino.

Adrien; Right, Nino?

Nino: Sorry.

Marinette giggles and looks down to see the magazine pages with pictures of Adrien and some are pictures of you also. Marinette screams and bends down to pick up the magazine before Adrien sees it, but he walks over to pick it up for her. They end up bumping into each other's foreheads.

Marinette/Adrien: Sorry.

Marinette grabs the magazine away.

Adrien: Sorry about that. How could we make it up to you? Any ideas...Nino?
