"Huh?" You looked at the boy standing next to your table. He was charming. He has blonde hair and green eyes. He looked like a prince.
"You're kind of sitting on my seat," he repeated and another boy wearing a red cap and headphones around his neck sat next to you.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'll get up right now," you said.
"Oh, no! I was just saying! It's okay. Real-"
You stood up too quick and your right foot toppled over your left as you fell forward. The boy caught you before you could hurt yourself and the both of you were in shock at what just happened.
"Good morning, every- AHHH!" A girl with blue hair in pigtails entered the room and screamed at the sight of the boy holding you. "What's going on here?!" She exclaimed and pointed at you both.
"That's just what I was about to ask!" The girl with a blonde ponytail stood up with her hands on her hips.
"Thanks for catching me, I'm good now," you whispered to him which he heard and let you go. "I'm sorry. I tripped and he was so kind to help me. It seems that I was in his seat, so I was just moving," you explained the situation as the boy stepped back and gave you space, so you could move from his seat.
"Settle down, kids. It's good timing anyway. You can come to the front of the class and introduce yourself now," Miss Bustier gestured her hands for you to come.
"Okay," you said and walked to the front while the girl with pigtails went to her seat.
You turned around and faced everyone. This was your new class and you wanted to make a good impression.
"Hello, my name is Y/N L/N. It's a pleasure to meet you all. I'm new to the country in general, so I hope I can make friends with everyone and you guys can help show me around. Uh..I like to shop and create outfits that match my mood or occasion. Today's style is called 'Daffodil' because they symbolize new beginnings and it's my first day of school. I also like to do makeup because it's pretty and makes my outfit pop more."
You immediately regretted saying that. You felt like you talked a little too much and that they might think you're weird.
There was silence for a few seconds before excitement filled the room.
"That's neat!" The tall guy with the red jacket said.
"You can practice your makeup on me!" The girl with short blonde hair wearing a pink dress said.
"Your outfit looks good," the girl next to her complimented you.
"Hmph. Sounds like a wannabe me if you ask me," the girl flipped her ponytail and crossed her arms.
"Are you saying we have things in common?" You took that comment in a positive way.
"Thank you for your introduction, Y/N. Is there anyone who wants to help her and show her around?" Miss Bustier asked the class.
"I'll help," the boy who caught you earlier raised his hand and you watched him. The girl with a ponytail and the girl with the pigtails both deeply gasped.
"I can help her!" The girl with pigtails raised her hand as well.
"Same here," the girl with the pink dress said.
Miss Bustier smiled at the class. "How about you all help her then?" She suggested and the class agreed.
● ● ●
It was lunch time. Just like Miss Bustier said, your classmates showed you around and helped you when you didn't understand something.
You learned the names of all your classmates through roll calls and became very acquainted with Rose and Juleka. You three sat around a table together. You felt happy that you made two new friends.
Chloe, the girl with the ponytail, walked by your table with Sabrina, the ginger haired girl, and purposely glared at you.
"?" You watched her with a blank face. "Why does she not like me?" You asked them.
"Don't worry, she doesn't like anyone!" Rose informed you.
"Oh.." That didn't sound like a nice way to live.
When Rose and Juleka were talking to each other, you quickly snuck a strawberry in your bag.
Then you saw two other classmates from your class. Marinette, the girl with pigtails and Alya, a tanned girl with wavy, reddish-brown ombre hair and grayish gold eyes. You waved at them with a smile on your face. Marinette jolted and Alya waved back at you. Marinette turned away and averted her eyes from you. You tilted your head as you wondered why she was acting that way.
"Hey, Y/N." You heard someone say and looked to your right as you saw Adrien, the boy who caught you earlier. He has been very friendly with you since the day started.
"Can we sit with you guys?" He asked.
"Sure!" Rose gave him permission and the boys set their food trays on the table.
"Dude, don't you have a photoshoot today?" Nino, the boy with the red cap, took a chair from another table since there were only 4 seats.
"Nah, that was rescheduled for tomorrow," Adrien told him.
"Photoshoot?" You raised your brow.
"You don't know? Our boy, Adrien, here is a pretty famous model," Nino told you while pointing at Adrien with his thumb.
"He is?" You blinked. "Wait, what's your last name?" You asked Adrien.
"Agreste," he answered.
"Adrien Agreste?" You said then gasped. It all came back to you. Whenever you read your fashion magazines, sometimes you would see a handsome boy on the cover pages. It was Adrien. "I can't believe I didn't recognize you before!" You covered your mouth in shock.
"Are you a fan?" He asked.
"Pfft. A fan?" You laughed. "Well, you can say I'm an admirer."
"Isn't that the same thing?" Juleka queried.
"It is," Nino said.
"I'm a big fan of your father. I love his designs. This bag is from his company. See?" You lifted your bag up and showed the logo. When you showed the bag you noticed Marinette watching, but she quickly pretended not to when you looked at her. She was really weirding you out now.
"Y/N, I've been meaning to ask you something all day, but I don't know if that would be mean or not," Rose said.
"What do you wanna ask?"
"Why are you only wearing one earring? Did you lose the other one or is that a style?"
"Oh. Both." You touched your one earring. "Haha, funny, well, actually not funny story. A few days ago when Bacterium infected the city, I lost the other earring while I was running away. I tried to find it, but there just wasn't any luck. I really do like this earring, so I decided to still wear it and make it into my own style."
"Oooh," Rose understood.
"I like it," Juleka said.
"Sorry to hear about your earring. Maybe it'll find it's way back to you," Adrien said.
"Pfft. What? Yeah, maybe." You laughed.
"Did you get infected?" Nino asked.
"Nino!" Rose gasped at how insensitive he was.
"What? Weren't we all thinking it?"
"No!" both Rose and Juleka said and he was surprised.
"Oh, it's alright. I wasn't infected. Chat Noir saved me," you casually told them and took a sip of your drink.
"Wow! Chat Noir? What was he like?" Rose asked.
"He's awesome, right?" Adrien looked at you with excitement in his eyes.
"I guess so. He annoyed me a bit though."
"Annoyed you?!" Adrien looked offended.
Just then the Bell rung and it was time to go to class. Classes resumed and when you finally finished your last class, you wanted to go to your brother. He told you the number of his class, but you still didn't know where that was.
Rose and Juleka had already left, so you asked the person nearest to you.
"Hey, Marinette, can you help me find a classroom?"
"W-what?"
"My older brother is the new English teacher, and we're supposed to go home together. But I don't know where his class is," you frowned.
"Oh... Sure," she agreed to help you, but didn't look so pleased.
"Thanks!" You told her his room number and she lead you there.
"Here it is. Goodbye now!" She quickly waved and hurried away before you can thank her again. You shook your head and entered your brother's class and closed the door. It was empty.
"Nathan," you called out to him, seeing as he was busy organizing some papers. Once he heard you, he looked your way.
"There's my little caterpillar," he beamed a smile at you as he called you by your nickname.
"Don't call me that at school! Someone might hear!" You felt embarrassed.
Flutter emerged from your bag. "Finally! Freedom!" She yelled and flew around the room.
"Flutter, keep it down!" You warned her.
"So, how was your first day at school?" He asked.
"It was good. Even better than I expected. I made two new friends."
"And she met Adrien Agreste!" Flutter had hearts in her eyes. "He's soooo dreamy," Flutter sighed with a smile on her face. "I can't believe you didn't recognize him!" Her smile faded one time to scold you.
"I never paid attention to him like that," you defended yourself.
"What about now? Now that you've seen him in person, what do you think? He's cute right?" Flutter asked.
"Ahem." Nathaniel coughed, clearly uncomfortable with the topic.
"Oh, hehe. Sorry!" Flutter apologized.
"Let's go. I'm done sorting my work," he said and held his briefcase.
Flutter returned to your bag and you went home to talk about the first day of school with Nathaniel. He told you all the funny stories he encountered and after that, you completed your homework. You had dinner with him and Flutter, relaxed a little, then went to bed. It was a pretty good day for a new start.
