 Andomeda found herself a bit more eager to get to school, knowing that she had secured a friendship with Nathaniel, and perhaps looking forward to seeing if that could ever be anything more.

She was also a bit eager to see if Adrien recognized her last night, though her hungry kwami assured her this morning that no one could see who she was behind her mask.

It had Andromeda in a fairly good mood as she stepped inside her mythology class, but it was spoiled rather quickly when the first thing she saw upon walking in was Chloe placing her chewed gum onto Nathaniel's seat.

"That belongs in the trash, Chloe." Andromeda said, a bit intimidated, but willing to stand up for her friend no matter what.

"And this is where the trash sits." Chloe giggles and Andromeda rolls her eyes, pulling a napkin out of her bag and easily pulling the saliva ridden gum off of her friend's chair. "What's the matter, dumb American? Got a thing for the loner?"

"What?" Andromeda furrowed her brows as she chucked the napkin into the actual trashcan. "No, I just care about people's feelings."

"Yeah, Chloe, that thing that you don't have?" Andromeda looks to the front of the room, where a blue haired girl crosses her arms defiantly. "Buzz off, the new girl doesn't need crap from you every single day."

"I'm sure the principal would love to hear the way you talk to me." Chloe crosses her arms back, but the blue haired girl narrows her eyes.

"I'm sure the principal would love to hear about you putting gum on someone's chair, AGAIN." Chloe growled at this comment before storming back down the steps of the room to her chair. Andromeda let out the breath she had been holding and couldn't help but smile at the blue haired teen.

"Thank you." Andromeda said, barely above a whisper.

"No problem, no one deserves that kind of lip from her." The girl sticks out her hand with a smile. "My name is Marinette."

"Andromeda." She shakes Marinette's hand before the teacher walks in, cuing the girls to give each other a small wave and hustle to their seats. Nathaniel barely makes it into the room in time before the teacher begins talking. Andromeda finds herself double checking to make sure she got all the gum off his seat before he sits down.

"You look exhausted, everything alright?" Nathane asks.

"Just more Chloe drama." Andromeda sighs, and Nathane rolls his eyes.

"She's the reason I never mind being late to class, don't have to put up with that first thing in the morning." Andromeda giggles quietly, as to not interrupt the teacher.

"I'll have to try that sometime." She responds, before finally pulling out her textbook and notebook, spending most of the class period watching Nathane draw from the corner of her eye-- Or rather, just really watching Nathane.

Andromeda cursed Delphine just a little for suggesting a romance with Nathaniel, because now she could hardly picture anything else when she looked at him. It wasn't really right, and she barely had much to go on, but she couldn't deny that the shy redhead made her heart skip just a little bit.

"Do you work today? Could we go get lunch together?" Nathane asks, and Andromeda looks at the calendar on her phone.

"I don't work today! Great! Take me to your favorite spot to eat, I don't know anything around here."

"Oh! I know the perfect spot, then." Nathane gives Andromeda a smile that makes her return it twice as wide. The two leave the school together and head to a cafe not to far away. "I know it doesn't look like much, but their Hachis Parmentier is amazing."
