It was another ordinary day in Paris. The birds were chirping, the sky blue as the sea, the grass as green as it could be, and the kids groaning as they found out that there was going to be a math test at the end of the week.

"Great, not another test. Alya! What am I going to do!? I can't get a bad score on this!." Marionette held her face with her hands.

Alya gave her friend a questioning look and then a small smirk emerged on her face. "No sweat girl. I got you covered." She gave her a wink and leaned forward tapping Nino on the shoulder. "Hey Nino. I heard you were good at math. Think you could give my girl and I some pointers for the up and coming test?"

Nino shot her a smile. He stuck his hand out like a gun and gave her a wink "Got ya covered! Just leave everything to me."

Alya then turned to Adrian "Why don't you come to. Wouldn't be fair to have only one math genius to help us when we both need help."

Marionette blushed bright red. The thought of Adrian helping with her homework was beyond what she thought she could handle. She can barely keep her cool as it is. She quickly spoke up to stop him. "You don't have too,. I-I mean your, uh, busy with your modeling right. Heh, you don't have to, uhm, bother with me…us…studying that is." She just wanted to hide at that point.

Adrian just smiled big "Sure I can help. I haven't been to a study group before. It sounds like it would be fun."

Nino gave his pal a look, "You think studying is fun? It's a pain more like it."

Adrian felt a little sheepish. This was his first year at an actual school with actual friends. Of course he would think it would be fun. "Come on man. Its my first time being a normal kid. Give a guy a break."

"Your right man. My bad." Nino put his hand on his friends shoulder. "No one should be deprived of a normal school life…even if it is studying."

Alya finally joined the conversation again. "That's right! We can't let Adrian's life go on without at least one study group with friends. Now the question is, where are we gonna have it. My house is off limits. My mom is having a small work gathering at my place."

Nino shook his head "My place is out too. How about at your place Adrian? Your place is pretty big."

Adrian rubbed the back of his neck "Sorry guys, my place is a no too. I don't think my dad would be too thrilled if a bunch of teenagers suddenly came over."

Then all eyes turned toward Marinette. She could feel the gazes staring at her but most importantly Adrian's gaze. He smiled at her brightly "Well what about your place Marinette? Think your parents would be OK with it?"

"Uh, well I don't think, my parents." The thought of Adrian coming over to her house was making her dizzy. Just then Alya pulled her friend close as she put her arm around her. "Of course her place will work. We were already planning on hanging at her house. What's a few more guest? Right Mariette?" She then gave her a wink. All Marinette could do was give a still smile and nod. "Sure…" She forced "My parents would be thrilled to have you over."

Adrian stood up from his school chair "Awesome! Should we come around about 4 today?"

Alya took the reigns. OK more like she had them the whole time. "Sounds like a plan. We will see you both at 4 o'clock sharp."

The boys waved as they left the class room with the girls shortly after. Marinette was freaking out darting back and forth in front of Alya. "Adrian is coming to my house!?. What am I gonna do? I'm too nervous. What if he doesn't like the way my house is? What if he suddenly has too leave because he doesn't like studying with us. What if-" Alya grabbed her friend making her face her. "Everything will be fine. He's already been to your house before right? It was for the video game training. He had fun there didn't he?"

Marinette sighed and relaxed a little. "Your right. There's nothing different from that time. He did have fun at my house." She then got a little dreamy eyed. She remembered when they both reached for the same controller. She got to touch his hand…then she started to panic again. "What if it happens again!? What would I do!? Gah! Alya! Help me!"

Alya just shook her head. "You just leave everything to me. I've got some things to do at home before I can head over. I'll see you at 4!" Alya then took off for her house as Marinette waved bye to her. She then sprinted home to get everything ready for the study group.

During that same time at Cours Moliére, Cindy was laying her head on her desk almost in tears. The sweet jet black hair, brown eyes, small petite girl was depressed. The teacher had just given her back her math test. She had a really good feeling about it. She just knew she was gonna pass. She stayed up late studying with her parents. They believed she was gonna pass but the score on her sheet said otherwise. She got a D-. How could she have gotten a D! Let alone a D-! Her parents saw how hard she had tried. How much effort she had put in. She slowly got up from her spot and started but before she left the school room her teacher stopped her. "Cindy could you come here quick?"

Cindy gave out a small "Yes Mrs. Aude." She quickly composed herself in front of her teacher. Her teacher was tall, very kind, and understanding person. She was the perfect teacher. Well almost perfect. She didn't have to give her such a bad grade, but she was only doing her job and if she would have done that then she would not be the awesome teacher the kids know and love. "Cindy, I need your parents to sign this." She handed Cindy the paper as she gave her the instructions. "I know you worked hard for this test, but unfortunately need your parents to sign this paper. It lets me know that they know about how well you did on the test. I'm sorry about this Cindy."

Cindy gave a small "Yes ma'am" and walked out of the classroom. She started to head home when she decided to make a detour toward the park. She didn't want to go home just yet. She didn't want to face the disappointment of her family. So she walked to the park, head hung low. All she wanted was to be alone.

High in a tower in a dark room, a dark vibration could be felt. A lone figure stood there in the dark pinpointing his next victim. A dark smile rose on his face and a circle window became bright. You could now see the lone figure. Darkness filled his heart and he search for dark emotions that he could control. Hawkmoth sensed his next victim. A poor middle school girl who is now feeling the sting of disappointment. Wanting to be someone who her parents adore but with this disappointment he could use it for his own gain. He spread out his arms wide as little white butterflies flew and fluttered around him. One fluttered into his hand. He then put his other hand over it and covered the butterfly. His dark powers soaked into the butterfly turning it a deep purple. Almost black even. "My little Akuma. We found someone to take over. She has felt the sting of disappointment and not wanting to be one. She is an easy target. Fly to her. Go akumatize her!" the newly born akuma then fluttered to its next victim.
