This is an OC story, so don't bother reading if you're gonna leave hate. Please point out my mistakes.

Not only had she forgot her book bag but she had forgotten her classes. Scurrying back up the stairs of the apartment, she knocked on the door repeatedly knowing the reaction she would get out of it.

The door was swung open revealing a pair of scowling dark chocolate eyes. Esmeralda gave her brother a cheeky smile while shoving him inside since a goddess had arrived. Bouncing up the stairs she grabbed her bag in a haste while shoving her brother again since a goddess was leaving.

"Aren't ya coming to school too?" Esmeralda questioned, cocking her head to side studying her brother. Apparently, he was her "twin" and since the omen of bad luck graced the Thorne family, he was switched at birth. After 6 years living with a stranger they finally figured the mistake out and they went to retrieve him wherever he was. He adapted pretty well, he was pretty wise for kids his age. Nonetheless, Esmeralda made up for it. Esmeralda was more, how do you put it? Reckless, even for her age back then.

She was the Yin to his Yang. The right brain to his left. They looked so much alike. The same dark chocolate for eyes, the same black hair that was so dark it gave off little to no highlight, the same almond-shaped eyes, and the same cupid's arrow lips. The only differences being that Esmeralda always had a mischievous glint in her eyes, Eli had blue highlights, and Esmeralda had upturned doll-like eyes. Oh, and that Esmeralda was more feminine.

"No, too many people for my liking." Eli grinned, running his hand through his hair. That marked another difference. While Esmeralda was a social butterfly, Eli was anti-social.

"Come on Eli! We're in Paris for crying out loud! Not only that but, we're here on a scholarship you idiot! We also promised mami and papi we'd do well in school since they stayed in the States." Pouting she grabbed him by the hand and snatched his book bag. Locking the door behind, they both descended the stairs ready to take on the world. And by the world, she meant Collège Françoise Dupont.

"Uh, Eli?"

"Yes?"

"Do you have any idea how to speak French?"

He chuckled. "Nope!" He replied, popping the p.

"We're screwed." She muttered, playing with her charm bracelet.

Begrudgingly, they climbed the steps to the entrance. Eli was left in awe. The school had a huge courtyard that opened up to the sky. Esmeralda, on the other hand, could care less. The only thing that would leave her in awe was her reflection. She snorted. She shattered mirrors.

"Earth to Elijah!" Esmeralda waved her hand in front of her brother's face eventually just smacking his face just for the fun of it.

"OUCH! ESMERALDA ROSE THORNE COME HERE THIS INSTANCE AND APOLOGIZE!"

Squealing, she hit the floor and sprinted away from him Naruto style. Twisting and turning, she avoided the populace as she weaved around them. She slowly came to a stop and looked behind her shoulder expecting him to be far behind. She found nothing, nada. She turned, ready to sprint away when she crashed into a masculine body.

"Great! Just my luck." She dusted herself off, ready to sprint away when the boy decided to speak up.

"Are you okay? I didn't mean to bump into you, I was a little distracted." He said sheepishly in perfect English. Esmeralda turned around meeting the boy's emerald green eyes. His golden locks framing his round face while a small smile graced his face.

Adrien looked into those dark eyes. They were cold and emotionless, much like Chloe's but even icier and dead. He soaked in her appearance as he had never seen her around. She was of latino decent with a curvy figure and sun-kissed peach skin. Her black-purple hair in a messy lopsided bun while rocking aquamarine blue tooth cat ears which she could listen to music from. Her face was round with visible cheek bones, a small splash of barely-there freckles, and only had a small wing on her eyes. She opened her mouth to respond when a boy interrupted her. She twisted her neck so fast he thought she'd break it. Her pouty lips then spread into a Cheshire grin, her icy eyes thawing with a mischievous glint.

"ESMERALDA!" The boy growled, a fire present in his eyes. Adrien feeling as if he should protect the girl stepped in front of her.

Esmeralda pushed Goldie Locks out of the way while she stuck her tongue out at Eli.

"Elijah." She taunted him. "You know very well I'll never apologize. Besides, you don't wanna embarrass yourself in front of your new peers." She smirked. Turning around, she found the dumbfounded blonde leaning on a wall.

"Nice of you to bump into me but we need to find our classes."

"Wait! You're not from around here aren't you? Not to be rude or anything but, who are you guys?" Adrien asked after he regained his thoughts.

"Well duh we-" Esmeralda was cut off by her brother putting his hand on top of her mouth.

"Pardon for my sister's reckless demeanor but she's mentally dysfunctional." Esmeralda made her eyes go into slits as she glared lasers at her brother. "I'm Elijah Thorne and she's my twin sister Esmeralda." He shook hands with Adrien who politely smiled. "If you wouldn't mind would you help us find our classes? We don't know that much French."

"Speak for yourself, buddy," Esmeralda muttered. "Let's get going then!" Esmeralda bounced u the stairs having no idea where to go but she wasn't gonna let her pride take hits.

"You have no idea where you're going are you?" Elijah shouted, receiving a deadly glare from his sister.

"Do too!"

Adrien just chuckled as he saw her icy demeanor thaw and he was left wondering how it's like to have a twin.

"We share a few classes. Here's our class for today." Adrien lead the way to Ms. Bustier's classroom, chatting with the twins along the way. Talking to them came so easily to Adrien. As soon as they stepped foot in class, Adrien was attacked by Chloe.

"Adrikins! I got you something today! Who are they?" She pulled a look of disgust as she looked the twins up and down.

"You done checking us out? Sorry to tell you but, I don't swing that way, honey." Esmeralda grinned evilly, her eyes glinting with more trouble.

"Ew, who are you?"

"Oh pardon me, your Majesty, I didn't know there was a queen in our presence!" Esmeralda feigned guilt while she curtsied ever so gracefully thanks to her multiple dancing lessons. "Who am I kidding?!" She chuckled, shoving Chloe aside as she made her way to the teacher's desk.

"Children! I'd like you to meet Elijah and Esmeralda Thorne. They've traveled from America to here, please make them feel welcome." Ms. Bustier smiled, leading them to their new seats in front of the classroom. Before thy could sit don the teacher turned around forgetting that they had to introduce themselves personally to the class.

Esmeralda gladly skipped to the front, her dress bouncing along with her. Elijah reluctant, moved at a sloth pace to the front.

"Ladies first Elijah," Esmeralda smirked, expecting him to start first. He didn't, instead glared daggers at Esmeralda.

"wuss," Esmeralda huffed. "Bonjour! Je'Mapelle Esmeralda, mais vous savez déjà que (Hello, my name is Esmeralda but you already know that). I love to sing, dance and listening to music." She gushed and smirked lazily, sighing, she could remember dancing with the love of her life before he ultimately rejected her.

"I'm Elijah and I like to be isolated from you people." He walked towards his seat next to a bluenette. Esmeralda took her seat next to the blonde who she learned his name was Adrien. She turned towards the boy next to him and offered him her hand. He stared at it before deciding to shake it.

"I see you love music. What kind do you listen to?" The boy said.

"Honestly, I listen to anything other than country. What about you-?" She left her sentence lingering as she waited for his response.

"Nino. My name is Nino. I like electronic and rock and other variety of music."

"Gotcha!" Esmeralda did finger guns earning her a bout of laughter from Nino. He finger gunned her back grinning.

"Adrien was that your girlfriend up there?" Esmeralda didn't miss the twitch and frown from the bluenette behind her.

"No. That was just my childhood friend Chloe. Why?" He questioned. Esmeralda only shook her head smiling. Again, she didn't miss the deepening frown from the girl behind. Coming to her own conclusions she turned around to introduce herself to the bluenette.

"Hey there! Comment tu t'appelles?" Esmeralda asked curiously like a small puppy.

"Je'Mappelle Marinette. I can talk English if you'd like." She smiled, but her smile didn't reach her eyes.

"Joy! Eli! Come to talk to these people you idiot!"

"Leave me alone you!" He grumbled, slouching in his seat. Esmeralda gave up on him and instead turned to the red head next to Marinette.

"Hello!"

She giggled. "I'm Alya! Nice to meet you."

Esmeralda was ecstatic. She thrived when she was surrounded by people.

"Esmeralda? What a retarded name." Chloe said, picking at her nails.

"Chloe? What a dysfunctional retard!" She retorted to a gaping Chloe. Esmeralda snickered.

"HOW DARE YOU! I'M CALLING DADDY!" Chloe screeched sprinting out of class stringing along a girl with her. Esmeralda shrugged used to these outbursts from stuck up "princesses".

"Girl you just found yourself trouble," Alya said.

"Trouble is my middle name," Esmeralda replied with a smirk.

"No, it's not you booh bah. It's Rose." Elijah said snarkily.

"I looked in my book bag, my books, under the desk but I can't seem to find where I asked for your opinion."

When classes were let out, Elijah and Esmeralda decided to observe their classmates. Elijah caught sight of Marinette with Alya. Marinette seemed to be nervous and jumpy while Alya just smirked at her. Esmeralda watched carefully as Alya pushed Marinette towards Adrien where she started to babble and stutter. Rolling her eyes she strode her way towards them. Adrien was confused and oblivious. Oh, that oblivious banana. Adrien looked up and caught her eye, breaking into a huge grin. Marinette confused as to why he smiled like that turned around and glared. Internally laughing she smiled. Saluting the bluenette she moved her slightly to the side wrapping an arm around Marinette. She had listened to the exchange of words and decided to help.

"I think what Marinette here is saying is that she wants you to come to the bakery with her, you banana." Esmeralda nudged Marinette. Marinette turned beet red, nodding.

I. Ship. It. ADRIENETTE FOR THE WIN.

"Adrienette for the win." I whispered into her ear. Winking, I turned to ave goodbye casting a final glance at Marinette who was redder than she was before.
