Marinette POV
Instead of waking up to my alarm clock, I woke up to an Adrien jumping in my bed shouting my name like a 5 year old.
"Marinette! Marinette! Marinette! Time for school! Time for school! Time for school! Wakeupwakeupwakeup!" He said relatively while jumping on me. I groaned.
" Adrieeeeeeen! Get off meeee!! I wanna sleep. " I said the last part while trying to pull up my warm covers.
"Noooo!" He said while pulling off my covers. When he got them off me, he stared to tickle me. I laughed like crazy, eyes starting to tear up.
"Adrien!!! Stop! You know I'm ticklish!"
I say up straight and glared at him.
"I'm gonna get you for that!" I said as I jumped out and chased him to the kitchen. I then saw the clock on the oven and gasped.
" Adrien! It's 7:00! We have to check in by 8:05! "
With saying that, I stopped chasing him and ran to my room and shut the door. I quickly threw on the outfit I had picked out the night before. I had a black skirt that was about knee's length, and a red button down blouse and rolled up sleeves. I then threw on my black ankle boots and grabbed my midnight blue backpack. I never wore skirts without pockets, and if I bought a skirt that didn't, I make my own adjustments. This skirt, I had to sew in pockets. I threw my phone in my pocket, My laptop and iPad in my backpack, along with the text books that showed up yesterday evening. I grabbed my schedule and took a photo so I wouldn't have to carry it around. I walked into the bathroom where Adrien was already grooming himself. He had on a green collared shirt and black pants.
"How do I look? " I asked him as I did a little twirl making my skirt flair.
"You look great! Like always!" He commented.
I blushed as I set down my backpack and started my own grooming. I had finished my makeup, and was still deciding what to do with my hair.
"What do you think I should do with my hair?" I asked Adrien.
"How about a sloppy bun or ponytail? It will make you look like your a hard working businesswoman in that outfit."
"Alright." I agreed as I started doing a sloppy bun.
I finished by pulling out some whispies to frame my face.
"7:20" I said as I looked down at my phone. " Better get moving. Campus is 15 minutes away. "
Soon, we were all done and jumping in the car. 10 minutes later, we pulled up into the campus and rushed inside. We then checked in, and stopped in the lobby.
"And now we separate." Said Adrien with a sad smile.
"Oh you clingy cat." I said as I booped his nose. " we'll see each other again in Finance, Business Intelligence and Analytics Management, and Sales and Marketing. "
From there, I walked off to my first class. I could get again feel Adrien's eyes watching me as I leave the room. Shrugging off the feeling, I couldn't wait for this new life of mine and adventure in college.

Adrien POV
I woke up to my loud alarm. I had forgotten how loud I left my volume. I quickly turned it off and laid on my back, staring at the ceiling. I didn't sleep very well with all the things running through my mind. The things I had overheard Marinette an Alya talking about last night mostly, by also the thought of starting college tomorrow. I groaned as I rolled over and looked at my time on my phone.
"6:55"
I got out of my bed, and decided to do something mischievous. I walked down the hall to Marinette's room and opened the door. I started jumping on her bed like a 5 year old shouting her name.
"Marinette! Marinette! Marinette! Time for school! Time for school! Time for school! Wakeupwakeupwakeup!"
" Adrieeeeen! " she groaned. "Get off meeeee! I wanna sleep!"
I then pulled off her covers and started tickling her like crazy. He laugh was adorable. She then got up and started chasing me throughout the house. When she chased me into the kitchen, she looked at the time on the oven and yelled about how we were going to be late. I laughed as she ran to her room and shut the door, assuming she was going to start getting ready. I then decided to get ready also. I picked out a dark green collared shirt and black dress pants. I tucked in my shirt and put on a brown leather belt and brown let her shoes. I then walked into the bathroom and started washing and shaving and grooming. When I had finished shaving and started on my hair, Marinette walked in wearing an outfit that made her look like a professional. She wore a knee-length black skirt, and a red button down blouse with rolled up sleeves. She wore black flats, and had shiny exposed legs. Her hair was flowing freely about her shoulders, still not yet brushed.
"How do I look?" She asked while giving me a twirl.
I was tempted to respond saying beautiful, but that would be weird, with us just being friends. Soon I settled with saying;
"You look great! Like always!" I noticed she blushed at the comment. She then started getting herself ready.
When she had finished with washing her face, brushing her teeth, and doing her makeup, she started on her hair.
"What should I do for my hair?" She asked. 
"How about a sloppy bun or ponytail? " I said. "It'll make you look like a hard working businesswoman in that outfit."
She then agreed and finished quickly, giving that it was supposed to be sloppy. Soon, we were finished and had arrived at the college campus with 10 minutes to spare.
"And now we separate." I said sadly. I was actually genuinely sad. I didn't want to be left alone and separated from Mari in this big new place.
She then said "Oh you clingy cat." And booped my nose. " we'll see each other in Finance, Business Intelligence and Analytics Management, and Sales and Marketing. " She then walked off, leaving me alone in the lobby with my books and bag. I watched her as she walked off. I studied her figure and found I was staring. I then walked off to my first class which seemed to be Information Technology. I was finally at college, living a more free life that I had ever before.
