New Stars- Adriennette story

Marinette's first photoshoot

MARINETTE'S POV

The bell rings, indicating lunchtime, and I start packing my things. Alya is impatiently tapping her foot, so I tell her to go and save us a place inside so we don't have to deal with the cold. I sling my backpack over my shoulder, and just as I'm about to start walking to the cafeteria, Adrien snatches my bag.

'Hey!' I protest.

'reach for the stars!' he says, laughing, as he holds it above me.

Of course, I can't reach it and I don't have enough energy to jump up to try, so I stand there and cross my arms, scowling. He grins boyishly, before carrying it himself.

'Allow me,' he says, and opens the door for me, before walking next to me.

What is up with Adrien today?

I am lost in thought even when we sit with Alya and Nino at lunchtime. Alya moves, letting Adrien sit next to me.

Are my dreams really coming true?

'So what do you say?' I'm snapped into reality, and the three of my friends look at me expectantly.

'wait, what? I spaced out,'

'I said, do you want to come round to mine after school? Alya and Nino are babysitting, and I have a winter photoshoot that you can come and watch, considering how much you love fashion,' the blonde boy next to me says, and I glance at Alya, who nods encouragingly.

'sure, I need to let my parents know though,'

I fire a text message to my mother.

Hi ma, can I go to Adrien's after school?

Adrien's house 😉

Please? It's the last day of term.

Of course, just let me know when you need picking up honey

Thankyou mom!!!!

I sit awkwardly opposite Adrien in the now repaired limo, scrolling through my Instagram, when I see a new post. Adrien has posted three photos together. The first one is just him grinning. The second featured me,  which I didn't realise he took where he copies my serious expression, both of us holding our hot drinks near our chins. The final one is of the two of us laughing and grinning. The caption reads:

'hey, ice queen! Why don't you pick on someone your own temperature'- @chatnoir

I notice that Chat is the first to comment, my puns make the best captions

I grin at Adrien from opposite him. It is a bit awkward having his father's assistant sat with us. I double tap the post, then respond to Chat's comment.

I'm guessing I'm the ice queen🙄...

A reply pings back almost instantly. Chat Noir must be really active on social media.

Probably loll😂 

I log into my ladybug account, making sure nobody is looking, before commenting in the same thread.

I guess we're all icy in the morning, huh❄️   

Adrien responds to this within seconds.

Mari's 'icy' is a whole other level

I log back into my main, Rude!

Chat Noir comments, yeah, Adrien!

I sigh internally. The more Chat comments, the more I have to keep switching accounts. I log back into my Ladybug account.
