(Y/n)'s diary became the replacement of her letters, starting her entries with a 'Dear Adrien', for old time's sake. She had become closer to Nathaniel who showed her all of his sketches and superhero costume ideas while she talked to him about ideas of names and cool superpowers.

Soon a year had passed as she fell back into the rhythm of school and homework. It was different from her old school. It wasn't suffocating or exhausting she was truly happy here.

Her world came crashing down on the first day of the new year. They were getting new students joining them and she was curious to meet new people. As usual, she went to sit down next to Nathaniel before classes started - chatting about the latest chapter of their favourite manga. Greeting all of her classmates and catching up about summer, she felt her heart drop when Chloé mentioned the new student and how they were close friends from childhood.

It's him. Who else did Chloé know from her childhood? Who else lived in Paris and went to school with Chloé? Why here?

She buried her head into her arms when she saw him walk in, making brief eye contact with him. Watching his eyes go wide - that small part of her that missed him and still loved him bloomed once again. (Y/n) felt her heart explode as she watched him make her way towards her seat before he noticed Chloé placing gum on Marinette's seat.

She knew exactly what was about to happen - the blue-haired girl spun around to see Adrien with a tissue attempting to remove the chewed-up gum from Marinette's seat. She berated him harshly whilst the rest of the class sat and watched, including Chloé who claimed to be his 'best friend from childhood.' The three of them knew that wasn't true.

Adrien's new-found bad reputation from being Chloé's friend made it hard to make friends with the old students but he quickly became acquainted with Nino. (Y/n) decided she would refrain from interacting with Adrien publicly until he approached her first.
