Mother Nature | A. Agreste

II 𓅪 Mr. Pigeon

Mr. Damocles stood in front of the classroom, addressing the class. "You only have one day to work on your fashion piece, and it must be your own design. In ten hours your fittest presentation will be judged by none other than the great fashion designer Gabriel Agreste, the father of our very own student Adrien Agreste. In fact, Adrien will model the winning design in his next photoshoot. And now, to announce this year's theme: derby hats." Ms. Bustier flipping through sides as he talked.

"Derby hats?" Marinette says to Alya, Chloe looks at them and makes a thumbs-down gesture.

Marinette paces in a hall, looking at her sketchbook and talking to Alya as you were sitting on the bench beside her.

"Derby hat, derby hat, derby hat, derby hat...! I don't have any derby hat designs. I've got top hats, caps, even two-horned hats! Need a beret? I'm your girl. A sombrero? No problem-o. But a derby?! You know what? It won't even matter, 'cause I'll probably make a total fool of myself at the event, most likely trip over my stupid derby and collapse on Mr. Agreste; give him a full-blown concussion and Adrien will hate me! I'll never be a world-renowned fashion designer. MY LIFE IS OVER!" She ranted, upset.

" All this over a derby hat? Let me see your sketchpad, girl. There must be something in here," Alya said, Marinette passing her sketchbook to her.

Marinette sighs, "Forget it, I'm a disaster zone. I'll probably mess everything up in the end." The three girls don't notice Adrien walk over.

"Wow, Alya, " Adrien says. Marinette panics and hides behind you. Not very well. "Those are some awesome designs. I didn't know you had such mad skills."

"Uh, thanks Adrien, but I can't take the credit. These sick designs belong to Marinette." Alya gestures to Marinette. Marinette gives a weak, embarrassed wave from behind you as you chuckle and smile at Adrien. 'Off the chain, right?'

"You're super talented, Marinette. You seriously have a good chance of winning."

" Well, um, yeah! I... like-- um, designs that-- um, " Marinette says, nervously.Alya makes motions to Marinette, who tries to interpret them. "go... upwards? Um, while stopping... I mean, uh-- uh, um, thanks?" You frown at poor attempt to help Marinette.

"Sure, and uh-- good luck. Maybe I'll be wearing your derby at father's next photoshoot," Adrien says before looking at you. "Hey, Y/n, Can I talk to you, privately?" A surprised look crossed everyones face before you nood and follow after Adrien, not missing Marinette's frown.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" You asked, you and Adrien stopping at the stairs that was to the left. "Has something happened?"

"No, no. Everythings fine. I was just wondering about something," Adrien says, nervously, not looking you in the eyes. 

You were a bit scared. "Sure, what'cha wondering about," 

"Well, remember when you said you were doing a fundraiser at the Trocadéro, wanting to put up bird feeders around the park so that the birds have access to food?"

"Yeah, it's after school tomorrow, why?"

"Well, I was wondering if maybe I could help?" Adrien said, rubbing the back of his neck. 

"Of course, you can Adrien. The more the merrier. Maybe with your help we can get more people to help out!" You said, excitedly. "With your help we could probably get more people to join the Only One Earth project. We could really use the help. Thanks Adrien, you're the best." You hugged him before pulling back with a smile.

"You're the best friend ever, Adrien. I'll text you the details tomorrow." You pecked his cheek before waving and leaving a awestruck Adrien behind.
