Miraculous- Happy Ever After...?

Chapter 19- My Princess

Adrien's POV

The door creaked open and a familiar face entered the room. James! Why the hell is he at our school?!  My blood began to boil at the sight of him. I glared at him while his eyes roamed around the room, until they landed on my Princess. He sent her a flirty wink, I could just wipe that smirk right off of his face. 

"So, James why don't you tell the class a little bit about yourself?" Mrs. Bustier spoke.

"Hi everyone, my name is James Cooper. I'm from California and my favorite color is black." James spoke.

"Alright, James please take a seat at the desk behind Marinette. She's wearing a gray sweater." Mrs. Bustier instructed.

As James passed my desk he gave me a smug look. The idea of him sitting behind Mari must've been heaven for him. As soon as class is over, when I get my hands on that goon...! Oh... it's not gonna be pretty!  I felt Nino tap my shoulder.

"Dude, you ok?"

"Yeah, why?"

"Well, it looks like you're ready to punch someone," He pointed at my hands.

I looked down to see that my hands were balled into fists. My knuckles were white as snow. I unclenched my hands and looked back at Mari to calm myself. She was in full focus mode, watching Mrs.Bustier intently. She looks so cute when she's focused! After gazing at Mari for few more moments, I felt all the anger escape my body. I refocused myself on the lesson.

~A few classes later~

Marinette's POV

It was finally lunch time, Als and I walked to our usual table in the cafeteria. When we arrived the boys were already seated at the table. I sat next to Adrien as Alya sat opposite me. I took out my pack lunch and set it down on the table. Alya and Nino and went to the lunch line to get lunch. I looked towards Adrien and saw he only had a salad and water. I furrowed my eyebrows confused of why he was eating so little. During the trip he ate more than just a salad...I wonder what's up?

"Hey, is that all you're going to eat?" I asked concerningly.

"Yeah...I don't have a choice." He sighed sadly.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I'm on strict diet for modeling, so when my father found out I stopped following the diet during the trip he was upset. So, now he's more stricter with my diet." He explained looking down at his lap while frowning.

I held his hand rubbing his palm with my thumb soothingly. "I'm not going to let him stop you from eating what you want. You don't have go through your problems alone anymore, because I'm here for you Adrien." I reassured him. He looked up and faced me, I could see a light of hope in his eyes from my words. I wrapped my arms around him giving him a comforting embrace. He immediately returned the embrace wrapping his arms around my frame, resting his head on my shoulder.

"You smell like sugar..." He sighed, breathing in my scent.

"And you smell like mint, with a hint of cheese." I giggled. After what felt like eternity, but were mere minutes, we pulled away from the embrace. Adrien snaked his arm around my waist sending warmth through me. "I packed some croissants for lunch, since I know they're your favorite." I set down his croissant on a paper towel near his plate.

"Thank you Princess." He replied, kissing my cheek.

"Anything for my kitten." I giggled lightly. Eventually Alya and Nino returned with their lunch and sat in their seats.
