Another day of saving Paris with the love of my life. Sigh. Could life get any better? I prepare for our daily de-evilizing ritual. "Pound it!" Ladybug and I chuckle and leap across the rooftops. The moonlight reflects off her purr-fect blue bell eyes, creating a rainbow eclipse on her dazzling face. Oh, Ladybug, what would I do without you? I blush at the thought and I'm interrupted by the beeping on my ring. "Sorry, m'lady. Catch ya later!" I flash her a charming grin. "Oh, Cat. I'll see you." She says, waving. I quickly switch back, landing promptly in my bedroom. 8:45. Right on schedule! Plagg zooms out of my jacket and moans: "Camenbert..." I silence him with my finger. "Not now, Plagg!" 3...2...1...I quickly dash into bed and pretend to be asleep, just in time to see Nathalie enter my room out of the
corner of my eye. Ruffling of her pants, clicking heels, the door shuts quietly. As soon as it does, Plagg zooms over to his secret stash of camenbert. "Aaah, sweet relief." He sighs contently. I ignore the starved qwami and slide into my laptop desk. I pull up my usual browser: Pictures of Ladybug. I sigh happily and I can feel my face heat up. If only there was a way for her to share my feelings I have for her. I grab a flower from my dinner tray and look in the mirror. I put on my swagger face and shoot a charming grin. "Heya, Ladybug. All these baddies make me thirsty. Wanna grab a coffee?" That's the spirit! I'm getting the hang of this whole flirting thing. I trot over to my bed and sleep with a newfound confidence in mind.
The next morning
Nathalie walks in to deliver my breakfast. "Adrien, time to eat." She says. I call from the bathroom:"Coming!" I dry off my wet body and throw on some fresh clothes. I glance at a picture of my mother on my way out of the bathroom, smiling slightly, then i catch a glimpse of my watch. 7:15?! I'm gonna be late! I grab a piece of toast and race out of my bedroom as fast as possible. Nathalie gives me a questioning look and all I have time to say is: "Sorry! School! Late! Bye!" My driver is already waiting for me out front. No time to lose! I make a beeline towards the car and slide in just in time. "Step on it!" I say frantically. I jolt forwards as the car accelerates rapidly. The tires screech to a halt in about 3 minutes. I hop out of the car and race up the steps to meet Nino. "Dude, you made it by half a second. What took so long?" I sigh, defeated. How will I explain this one? I won't, thanks to the bell. Saved! "Sorry, Nino, gotta head to class!" I blindly rush to class and feel something crash into me. I land on the ground, rubbing my head. Ow...I open my eyes. Who bumped into me? Wow...In front of me I see a girl with pretty hazel eyes and long, red locks. She has a sprinkling of freckles over her nose and cheeks. I blush and help her off the ground. "Are you okay?" I ask, concerned. The girl smiles and says: "Yes, I'm okay. And you are?" "I'm Adrien, nice to meet you!" She smiles again. What a nice smile she has. "I'm Zilla. I'm transferring here for a few weeks, to see what the program is like." I nod and smile, friendly like. "It's a pleasure to have you here! I'd love to talk later, but I have to go to class." Zilla says:"Of course, bye, Adrien!"
What a strange girl...Strangely beautiful!
