The next week came by like a breeze.

Ms. Mendeleeiv was surprisingly calm today, happily teaching you a lesson. Maybe she had already found a boyfriend, you didn't know.

You pretended that the party didn't happen. Adrien seemed to haven't notice that he did something wrong to you. Maybe he just didn't care.

You couldn't bring yourself to care either.

You liked to tell yourself that it was just a simple dance, no need to feel petty. It didn't matter.

But you still wanted to think that he could've dance with you at the party. Maybe he didn't have enough time to invite. Maybe he was planning to dance with you after all-

Forget it.

He still treated you the same, so you couldn't complain. He was a really nice guy so you don't need to treat him the opposite.

Maybe being his seatmate for the whole year wasn't the worst idea.

He would compliment your drawings once in a while. You would casually reply your thanks, trying not to be awkward (of course you failed).

You would then have Adrien coming to you because he wants you to listen to a song he's been listening. Surprisingly it wasn't a classical piano piece. It was something that falls under the indie, hip-hop, lo-fi something category. You liked it.

You want to have Adrien listen to your music too, seeing as he has been widening his music genre, you might as well let him hear your playlist. The two of you would share the earphones; yours were the left piece and his were the right ones.

Of course, that didn't stop the teasing from your classmates.

"Aww," Kim cooed, his hands held together as he stood with one foot. "You looked so cute together!" Max laughed with him.

You wouldn't mind. You didn't let your blushes show, but what does Adrien think? Didn't he know he was being paired up by the person who confessed their feelings to him last May? Didn't he feel awkward and uncomfortable.

But he didn't. He just showed you his wonderful smile. "This beat is so awesome, and the lyrics are amazing."

You smiled back. You carefully removed your earpiece. "Where did you learn about this genre, anyway?"

"I learned it from Nino. You know, being a DJ and stuff..." He shrugged. "I listened to it ever since."

You nodded in understanding. "Well you should listen to this guy, Cavetown? He's super talented and all of his songs are great. I have some of his songs downloaded here. If you like, I could share it to you?"

"Sure!"

Adrien's hearty laugh almost bursted out of your tiny bubble. Mr. Damocles was just in the front, lecturing about fire safety, in case of an emergency.

Meanwhile, the two of you did not care. Adrien was showing you funny videos. You have to admit, it wasn't very hilarious, but Adrien's laugh was contagious, making you snicker a bit.

He has a different sense of humor than yours. Yours can be a little edgy and dark, with a mix of stupidity, while Adrien's humor is lighthearted, but just plain stupidity.

A boy skateboarding tripped over his feet, making the coffee cups that was once in his arms were now on the floor.

You had to cover your mouth for that one. A snort came out. Adrien laughed, a mute laugh.

So this is what Marinette feels like.

This is why they have been laughing for God knows what. Maybe Adrien was showing you the same videos he had Marinette watched with him. He just didn't get tired of the same compilation.

Surprisingly, the principal did not notice your behavior. He looks like an owl with huge eyes but he couldn't ever seem to have seen you.

You then set foot out of school, where Alya should've been waiting. But she wasn't here.

As if on cue, you received a text from your phone.

Alya:
really sorry! nino invited me to a study group last minute! im so sorry, i'll get back to you tomorrow with your favorite snack, my treat! i love youu

You sighed, but instead of being mad, you were looking forward for her treat tomorrow which makes you less angry.

You began to walk down the stairs of the entrance when you saw his limo parking in front. You did not pay it no heed as you continued your journey, when all of a sudden someone had called your name.

You turned to the voice, not surprised that it was Adrien. He waved his arms, but you can already see him. He finally reached you on the bottom of the stairs.

You opened your mouth to say something, but he cut you off by grabbing your arm and dragging you to his limo.

You sputtered out excuses and exclaims, but it fell on deaf ears.

"What are you doing?" You said as Adrien closed the doors and you were forced to wear your seatbelt. "You're basically kidnapping me!"

"Well I saw you planning to walk home, alone so I figured i should just take you there."

"How did you know I'm walking alone? Alya could've been-"

"She's not here, remember?" He cut you off again. "Study group with Nino?"

"How did you-"

"He's my best friend," he interrupted once more. "I have the right to know."

You huffed as you crossed your arms, looking at the window instead of the smug face he must be wearing right now.

"We're here," Gorilla grumbled, parking almost next to your gate.

You opened the car's door. "Thanks, Adrien-"

"Wait," he held your wrist. "Here." He opened your hand and placed a bar of your favorite chocolates. "Good night, Y/N."

You stared at him, unable to form any words at the moment. "Um... thank you, Adrien. Good night."

You went outside and closed the door. You grasped the chocolate as you looked at the brand. It was your favorite.

You smiled a bit. Even the smallest things, you appreciate it.
