Marinette and her two friends, Nathaniel and Nino slowly walked towards their school. It was a calm spring morning and the blossoms on the the trees swayed slightly in the light morning breeze. The three friends joked around as the school came into sight and in a matter of minutes they were out of the cold and in the warmth of the school.
They all made their way to their class and sat in their respective seats, Nino at the front and Nathaniel sitting in front of Marinette at the back of the class.
Marinette sat her spotty pink bag on the floor behind her desk, sparing a glance at the empty desk behind her.

"Mama, there's a new boy coming to our class today. He's been in hospital for a long time." Marinette told her mum as they washed their faces over the sink.
"Really, it seems rather late in the year for a new student." Sabine, Marinette's mother, said.
Marinette shrugged as she brought her wet face up from the sink. She kept her eyes closed as she reached for a towel, but she couldn't find one. Sabine chuckled, handing her daughter a towel to dry her face. Marinette thanked her mum as she dabbed her face dry, she then moved on to the tedious task of bundling her blue hair into their respective twin pigtails. Marinette then lifted her two red ribbons but hesitated as she went to wrap them around her hair.
"Mama, am I too old for these ribbons? I mean I'm 12 now." she asked, glancing sadly at the red ribbons hanging limply in the palm of her hand.
Sabine sighed, setting the towel down after drying her own face. "Marinette, it doesn't matter how old you are, always be yourself."
Marinette nodded, wrapping the ribbons around her pigatils.
"Hurry now Marinette or you'll be late for school." Sabine instructed, laughing as Marinette gasped before running out the door.

Marinette sighed. What would the new boy be like?
"Right class, calm down!" the teacher shouted."We have a new student today as you are probably all aware."
The class nodded in response.
"Good." the teacher praised, before turning to face the door, a smile on her face.
A boy, around 12 entered the room, a glum look in his green eyes. His blonde hair drooped over his right eye and he glared at the class with an un-amused look on his face.
He looked around the room, his gaze eventually landing on Marinette. Their eyes met, blue clashing with green and Marinette could have sworn she seen pain flash through his eyes when she looked at him.
"Class this is Adrien Agreste, I expect everyone to make him feel welcome,"
The class nodded in understanding and Adrien made his way to the empty seat behind Marinette, not speaking a single word to anyone. Marinette managed to catch a glimpse of a ring on his finger before he disappeared behind her.
The blue haired school girl sat uncomfortably for the rest of the lesson, feeling Adrien's constant gaze burning into her very soul.
