Extremely naughty

Chapter 2

Marinette surprisingly came to school earlier than usual. In fact, she was so early, not even Alya was there waiting for her. There were a few lower classmen here and there but no one she knew was waiting outside yet. Marinette decided to use this time as a chance to draw a new clothing design.

While she worked, a car pulled up by the curb of the school, and Adrien stepped out of it. Even though he was at school early, he was really tired from the earlier this morning, and he didn't get much sleep. All he could think about was his encounter with Marinette and what she said about him, as Adrien. Even at this moment, he couldn't get the usually shy girl out of his head. He looked for Nino, who wasn't there yet. Then his eyes landed on Mari, whose tongue was sticking out as she worked on her design. He saw her sigh in frustration and crumple up a piece of paper to start over.

Adrien took this chance to go and talk to the girl, who was just too busy to notice him pick up the piece of paper next to her. Adrien unfolded the paper to reveal a beautiful drawing of a dress, with layers of red with black polka dots on it. There was even a mask with the same color scheme and a large black feather sticking out of the mask. Adrien was impressed. He knew Marinette was talented, but he didn't think she had extraordinary talent. He sat next to the girl, still busy, and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped at the physical contact, and looked to see who had disturbed her concentration, when she saw it was just Adrien.

"A-Adrien?! Hi! W-what are you doing here?! I mean, you're here for school, obviously, but I mean...what are you doing next to me? I mean, you can be next to me, if you want but-" Marinette stopped herself and cringed, knowing how much of a dumb fool she was going on about nothing.

Adrien, who knew this was going to happen, smiled at her. "Hey, Marinette. I just sat down to see what you were doing. You have an amazing talent."

Marinette blushed. "Oh, I just like to design clothing. It's not a big deal."

"Are you kidding? Your designs are incredible! You know, I could put in a recommendation for you to my father. He's looking for young interns who are interested in fashion. Want to have an interview with him?"

Marinette could not believe her ears. Adrien didn't seem to be joking about what he was saying either. She could see it now:

Gabriel Agreste will be so in love with my designs that he hires me as his personal assistant! Adrien will be so taken with me that he asks for my hand in marriage! I'll say yes, then we'll get married in England and have 3 kids, a hamster, a dog, maybe a cat, and then we'll live in a castle and live happily ever after! It's the perfect life!

"Uh, Marinette?"

Marinette's fantasy faded into reality as she blinked at the boy in front of her, who was staring at her with a confused look on his face. She blushed even more and rubbed the back of her neck.

"Erm, A-Adrien, you really don't have to go and do all that..."

"No, it's my pleasure. I've seen what you can do Marinette, and I'm not kidding when I say you have an awesome talent."

"Oh," Marinette smiled and nodded her head, "Sure! I'd love to have an interview with your father!"

Adrien grinned. God, he's cute, Marinette thought. "Great, I'll tell him all about it!"

Just then, Alya and Nino walked up to the two of them. Nino fist bumped Adrien. "Yo, dude, what's up?"

"Nothing much," Adrien replied. "Marinette here decided to try for an internship with my father, since she's such an amazing designer." Marinette couldn't help but turn pink at his praise.

Alya looked at Marinette, then Adrien, then Marinette, then Adrien, and had the most mischievous and devilish grin on her face. Marinette saw this and stood up and walked away with Alya as the two boys stayed behind.
