So, I know this is going to be a lot like my story Trouble Maker, but sadly, as of now I'm not planning on continuing Trouble Maker. The story recieved great feedback from you guys, but I messed up the story entirely and took it too far. I no longer liked the story line. I'm leaving Trouble Maker up, but it's (for right now) discountinued. So I decided to write this new story! Hope you guys like it!
(Song - Give Me Something / by Seafret)
Chloe Bourgeois was the center of all gossip at College Francoise Dupont. She not only had everything, but knew everything. Everything about everyone and what was going on. So it was no surprise when Marinette heard Chloe every morning chattering on about what her father had told her or what famous celebrity was staying at the hotel. It was the expected. What wasn't expected though? Alya running to meet her with some gossip of her own.
Marinette set her hand on Alya's shoulder, as the brunette tried to catch her breath. She rested her hands on her knees while heaving from how far she had ran. Alya didn't waste a second though. She stood straight again trying to speak clearly to Marinette.
"Breath Alya." Marinette said, giggling a bit, watching as her friend frantically waved around her hands. When Alya finally seemed to be able to breath normally again, she grabbed for her phone in her pocket.
"I have some news for you girl! Look at this!" Alya opened her phone, flipping through some social media app before reaching Chloe's profile.
'Of course.' Marinette thought bitterly. 'Who else better than Chloe to get all the gossip from?'
Alya looked up at her bluenette friend, only to see her frowning down. "Don't make that face Mari! It'll get stuck like that!" Both girls laughed as they walked up the school stairs. Most of their classmates were outside in the schoolyard, but Marinette noticed a lot missing. Now that she thought about it, everyone seemed to be acting a bit off. A bit...excited?
"Why is everyone acting so weird Alya?" Marinette asked, turning to her friend. "That's what I've been trying to tell you about!" Before Alya could say another word, they heard a loud crash from inside the school, and many screams. Girly screams. The two friends looked at eachother before rushing the rest of the way up the steps and through the school doors. Inside, a group of teenagers (mostly girls) standing in a group frantically yelling at whoever stood in the middle.
Marinette then understood. Most of the female population at the school acted this way when Adrien first arrived at their school. It had to be another celebrity or someone along that line. That must be what Alya had to tell her.
As if on cue, the brunette spoke up beside her. "Ellis Walker, teen singer and songwriter who's been in the spotlight for about a year now." Marinette's eyes widened at the somewhat familiar name, as the crowd in front of her started to break apart. "He's a singer? What's a song by him?" Alya seemed to think for a minute, before humming a tune quietly. Marinette almost immediatly picked it up. It was a song that was quite popular right now, but wasn't an annoying pop piece that was being overplayed. She happened to like the song a lot.
As the crowd broke apart, Marinette's eyes focused on the tall brunette trying to flee from the middle. She was met with a tall, sturdy figure, a bit taller than herself. His hair was a dark brown, and was cut a bit like Kim's, but longer and not as pointy. What caught her through, were his eyes. They were blue like hers but a bit darker. And they were staring straight back at her.
Marinette didn't immediatly find Ellis attractive, most likely because she liked Adrien so much. But her stomach fluttered a bit when their eyes met, as cliche as it sounded. But Adrien...Adrien! She shook her head, trying to forget her thoughts. She liked Adrien. She couldn't have feelings for someone she hasn't even spoke to yet. But when she looked back up, Ellis was smiling kindly at her in the distance. She smiled back, her cheeks turning red without her permission. She heard Alya squeal beside her.
"Oh my goodness girl! He was smiling at you! You're blushing too!" Marinette's cheeks only became darker as Alya egged her on. "Don't tell me your heart is making a little more-" Alya was cut off as Marinette playfully pushed her a bit before laughing. Laugh it off Marinette, laugh it off. Her heart only had room for Adrien.
The blonde in question was currently already in class, sat beside Nino. They were both listening to Chloe across the room, more like they had to from how loud she was being. Adrien couldn't help but listen in closer though, as Nino tried to block her out.
"I made sure put him in all my classes Sabrina! Who else better to show him around than me? I mean, we're both famous right? He should feel honored to be friends with Chloe Bourgeois!" Adrien was a bit startled to hear Chloe talking about someone who wasn't him, and thankful too. He felt a bit sorry for the mystery student. He leaned over to Nino, who had his head against the desk. "Who's Chloe talking about? Do we have a new student?" Nino looked up for a moment, shaking his head at his blonde friend. "You really haven't heard?" Adrien just shook his head. But before he could really ask any further, the bell rang, and in came Alya and Marinette running to their desks. Adrien smiled a bit as her heard Nino laugh a bit beside him. The girls were good friends to him, even if it meant Marinette hardly ever spoke clearly around him. He just wanted to be better friends with her. He really hoped she didn't hold a grudge after the gum incident.
When the teacher walked in with a larger-than-normal smile on her face, Adrien furrowed his eyebrows. What was he missing here? "Here we go." Adrien heard Nino mutter from beside him, then the entire class lit up in excited chatter. Their teacher, Miss Bustier, quickly quieted them. She smiled even bigger. "I'm happy to announce students, that we have a new student!" Adrien sighed. He had called it anyway. But why was it such a big deal? "I'm pretty sure most of you have heard by now, but Ellis Walker will be joining us here at College Francoise Dupont!" The class was louder now, and Adrien wanted to slap himself. Another celebrity? How could he not have heard about this? He did smile a bit though. Maybe Chloe would leave him alone some now. He watched as the familiar face walked into the class, and turned to the students. The brunette shifted awkwardly on his feet. "Um...I guess my name is Ellis? I've never lived in one place too long but I hope to be in Paris a while!" The entire class got a bit quiet, until Chloe spoke up. "Ellis-kins! Don't you want to sit between Sabrina and I?"
Ellis' eyes seemed to widen in fear before turning to their techer pleadingly. Miss Bustier only smiled slightly before shaking her head. "Why don't you have a seat beside Ivan, Ellis? Right behind Marinette?"
Both students raised their hands, and Ellis seemed to smile at Marinette specifically, going to take a seat behind her.
"And, Marinette, would you mind showing Ellis to all his classes? You have most of your classes together and you are our class president after all!"
Marinette only nodded to Miss Bustier before turning to Ellis and smiling.
While Chloe started to protest Adrien felt Nino nudge his side. Adrien turned to his friend only to see him smirking widely. Nino just nodded toward Marinette and Ellis who were most likely talking about classes. "It seems like Marinette's made a new friend pretty quickly today, doesn't it Adrien?" Adrien only watched Nino confused as he smiled wider. "I guess?"
Adrien turned back to Miss Bustier who was trying to quiet the class. He was always glad to have a new student but he still felt conflicted about the situation. But he just couldn't decide why. Why did he feel so negatively about Ellis being here? He seemed nice enough.
The blonde then just closed his eyes, sighing. This would have to wait until later.
Woah! That was quite a long chapter for me to write, but I hope you liked it! Don't attack me just yet Adrienette shippers...I know just how much you like a jealous Adrien. What do you think about Ellis so far? My main point with his character is to make a personality out of him, and not just a pawn to make Adrien jealous. So be ready for some Marinette and Ellis feels, and not just Adrienette.
You guys can start with the ship names now if you want, or if you want to wait.
I'm out!
