This is my first story. So I hope you comment what you think.

For as long as anyone have known, there was a tall wooden fence around the village of Paris. The only thing you can see at the top was trees.

Legend has it, that it was put up by the Wizard "Guardians" Ladybug and Chat Noir a century before. Everyone who climbed over it, dung under, or tried to break it was never seen again.

Except for Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

She was only one out of many who came back. It was a mystery. 3 days, 3 nights she was just gone. People thought she had died. Tom and Sabine wept. But then Marinette came back, the village wondered.

They asked what did she see on the other side, but she didn't remember anything.

And it was since that day, Marinette started tripping. Chloe Bourgeois made fun of her for it, taunting her about "coming back has a price" and that she shouldn't have come back at all. That day, Marinette also stopped smiling altogether.

"Hey Marinette!" Alya called out.

"Hey Alya." Marinette replied as she scooted back a bit, adding details to a sketch before looking up. "Whats going on now?"

"There's this new villager here!" Alya leaned forward. "It's odd since we never ever get any. Now here's this boy who pops out ofnowhere." She whispered.

"Wait what? Really?"

"Uh yeah girl! You know I ain't a liar like Lila over there."

"Alya! Don't say such a thing!" Marinette said as she looked around nervously.

"It's true though," Alya grinned. "I hate to do this to Nino, but the new guy is pretty cute."

"What do you m-"

"Hello." A soft voice spoke.

Alya and Marinette looked right. There stood a… oddly familiar... stranger.

"Hi. What's your name?!" Alya burst out.

The boy didn't seem fazed by the outburst. "I'm Adrien. Adrien Agreste." His eyes lingered more on Marinette than Alya. And Alya noticed.

"Sweet. I'm Alya Cesaire," She pushed Marinette a bit forward, "and this is Marinette Dupain-Cheng. And she's single." Alya whispered the last part.

Whoa. His eyes. Marinette thought. So… green."H-hi." Marinette quietly said as she made a mental note to scold Alya.

Adrien smiled. "Hi to you to-"

"Whoa!" Marinette gasped as she fell forward, windmilling her arms as she braced for the fall.

"I think your falling for me." Adrien joked but oh how he does not know how right he is lightly blushed as he caught her with ease.

"O-oh. U-u-uhh um.. I mean! Um-" Marinette stuttered as blush erupted her cheeks.

"She means thank you for catching her." Alya smirked as she replied for Marinette.

Marinette was a deep red by now."Y-yeah."

Adrien suddenly laughed, "alright then".

For the first time, Marinette smiled. A true, beautiful smile.
