Sun beamed in through my window waking me up. Everything that happened yesterday came crashing down creating a smile on my face. He wants to hang out again sometime. My body flooded with relief. All this time I didn't think he liked me. I need to stop doubting myself. I am going to see in color one day. I know it.

"Marinette you're running late again" I heard Tikki call out from somewhere across the room.

"Sorry Tikki."

I quickly got ready for the school day even though I just wanted to stay home. I put on a white button up shirt and what I imagine were blue high waisted jeans. I don't know for sure though for obvious reasons. Then I proceeded to run to school almost forgetting Tikki along the way.

"Marinette you have to stop doing that. You should be more responsible"

"I know I know. I guess I'm just a heavy sleeper Tikki". She giggled and flew back in my bag.

School was terrible. I took three tests, each one harder than the last. The worst one by far was English. There is just something about all English tests. I can't explain it.

Anyway I decided to go for a walk in the park after school to get away from the stress. That's how I ended up on a bench in the park secretly feeding pigeons. I do this often because of this one akuma I faced. He got akumatized because they wouldn't let him feed then pigeons and I felt bad. I was so caught up in my favorite pigeon Jacques that I didn't notice someone sat beside me.

"You know that's illegal right girl " a voice to my left asked. I looked up to see Alya.

"Oh hey Alya"

"Marinette what are you doing"she asked.

"Feeding Jacques and his friends"

"Ohhh hey Jacques" she said towards a pigeon that was not Jacques. We both started laughing. I remembered when I first named him Jacques. I was talking to Tikki and Alya caught me. Instead of telling her I was ladybug I told her I was talking to a pigeon.

"So Alya what are you doing in the park"

"Oh dang girl I almost forgot I am meeting Nino soon got to go" she said while running away. I almost didn't hear her. Then I was alone again feeding pigeons.

"Hey you", a voice called. "You aren't allowed to feed the pigeons."

"I'm so sorry Officer you see pigeons and food go well together u think and my mom taught me to help the needy and they really needed this in sorry I'm blabbering but you see this is a", I stopped when laughter erupted from the direction of the officer. When I turned around I saw Adrien laughing with tears coming out of his eyes.

"Oh my gosh Mari I wish I saw your face" he said between laughs. I was blushing like crazy right now. I always find a way to embarrass myself. Then he realized and apologized for scaring me. "But really Mari it is illegal" he tried to say with a stern face. I'm assuming he thought about my speech again because he started laughing.

"Adrien please stop that was embarrassing" I pleaded.

"Ok ok I'm done" he said wiping tears off his cheeks. "What are you doing in the park Mari".

"I come here to feed Jacques and his friends sometimes. What are you doing here?"

"I escaped my photo shoot" he whispered.

"That's rather bad of you don't you think?"

"Well I am often referred to as the bad guy"

"Really" I said amused. "Last week you stopped traffic because there was a caterpillar in the middle of the road."

"Uh well that was someone else"

"You screamed stop in the name of Agreste" I was getting more and more amused by the second.

"It could have been another Agreste"

"You made the front cover of 6 magazines"

"Well to be fair I was only in the corner of one of them." I was laughing so much now. Then I was very curious as to how he saw such a tiny bug.

"Adrien how did you even see the caterpillar?"

"Well I think I might be part cat"

"Sure you are," i told him rolling my eyes. 

Adrien and I talked for about an hour. We laughed mostly at each other's stories. He told me about his weirdest photo shoot. Vincent took pictures of Adrien actually eating spaghetti. He made Adrien smile with spaghetti in his mouth. Long story short  Adrien choked.

When the sun started to go down Adrien walked me home.  I thanked him and went to my room to sleep.
