"You got this, girl. Just start by going up and saying hi."

"I know I can do THAT! It's the whole 'wanna catch dinner with me sometime?' thing that's trippin' me out!"

Alya sighs and massages her right temple. "You've been coming up with excuses or reasons not to ask him out all year, Marinette. You've already danced with the guy! It's now or never."

Marinette exhales, her clenched fists falling to her sides. She looks up to where Adrien is standing in the near-distance, laughing at something Nino is saying.

"I just don't want him to reject me," she whispers quietly, quickly looking away when he glances in her direction.

"But you'll never know unless you try, Mari. I'm telling you: he's got to feel something for you! Boys don't just slow-dance with random girls," Alya insists, patting Marinette on the shoulder. "Have some faith."

"Mornin', ladies," Nino greets the two, casually slinging an arm around Alya's shoulder. "What's up?"

Marinette stiffens when Adrien comes to stand beside her, their shoulders brushing as he smiles warmly at her.

"Nothing much," Alya replies, sharing a smug look with Nino. "Just... talking."

"About what?" Adrien asks innocently, oblivious to the evil exchange Alya and Nino are sharing.

"Nothing!" Marinette blurts, hoping that Alya won't open her mouth and say something embarrassing. "I-I mean... we weren't talking about nothing, per se, but—you know...," she trails off awkwardly, internally kicking herself.

Alya sends Marinette a meaningful look, and the bluenette swallows her sigh.

You can do this. You fight super-villains every other day! You can definitely ask a boy on a date!

But before Marinette can even open her mouth, Adrien is turning to her with a grin plastered across his face. "I was wondering...," he starts, his expression turning nervous as he shifts his posture, "would you maybe wanna... hang out after school?" His cheeks dust a light pink as he scratches the back of his head. "I already checked my schedule to be sure that I would be free... That is! If you want to hang out, I mean."

Marinette has never once seen Adrien so flustered in her life.

She blinks. "That sounds... amazing," she says breathlessly, blood pooling into her cheeks at the very thought of—OH MY GOD, GOING ON A DATE WITH ADRIEN!

Adrien's happy-go-lucky grin returns. "Great! Meet you out front after school, then!" And with a final wave, Nino and Adrien walk away, sharing a small, barely-seen fist-bump.

Marinette turns to see her best friend's reaction. Alya stands there, speechless. Marinette blinks again and pinches her forearm. "Ouch!" the bluenette hisses. "Definitely not dreaming."

"Oh. My. GOD!" Alya practically screams, grabbing Marinette's shoulders and jumping up and down. "He finally did it!"

Alya's excitement spreads like a wildfire, and Marinette finds herself squealing and jumping up and down as well. "I can't believe he finally—wait!" The giddy grin falls off of Marinette's face, and she stops jumping up and down. "What do you mean 'finally'?!"
