Chapter 1 - Paired in Groups

Collège Françoise Dupont high school, held an 'out-of-country' fieldtrip. The whole school could not stop talking about the trip. It was exciting as the trip was due that Friday and it was already Tuesday.

Marinette and Alya were as eager as the rest of the school about the field trip. They were also going to visit a museum that had couple of paintings and sculptures. The museum also had many modern-art and robot prototypes. They even heard that the new exhibit was a model time machine. That just made the whole class more excited about it more than ever.

Since it was a 5 week stay, everyone was paired in groups of four as roommates. Marinette's class waited eagerly for Ms Bustier to announce the groups. Chloè wished that she got her 'Adrikins' as a roommate. Marinette wished the same too.

"Okay class, settle down. I've finally prepared the list of roommates. Remember, this is co-ed, so no excuses." Ms Bustier explained.

"Oh Alya! I wish Adrien becomes one of my roommates!" Marinette whisper-shouted to Alya.

"I wish that too, but what about me? It doesn't look like my BFF wants to be my roomie." Alya joked.

"Alya of course I'd want you to be my roommate, but think of the possibilities, if both you and Adrien become two of my three other roommates, I swear, I'll die of happiness!" Marinette said joyfully.

Miss Bustier cleared her throat. " Before I give out your roommates, Chloè, your father has already booked a private room for you and Sabrina so you both are a pair already." Chloè let out growl. "So our first group is Ivan, Mylène, Kim and Alix."

Alix let out a loud disagreeing groan. So did Kim.

"Next comes Nathanael, Juleka, Max and Rose. And then that leaves us with our last group Nino, Alya, Adrien and Marinette." Nino and Adrien looked back and smiled at the girls. Alya looked at Marinette as her wish had come true. Marinette's face was as red as a strawberry. It was true. Marinette did bring luck wherever she went.

"So everybody get ready with your suitcases on Friday. And remember who your roommates are and exchange numbers if you want."

Alix and Kim constantly went to Ms Bustier telling her to put them in two separate groups. Chloè constantly went to Ms Bustier too, telling her she wanted to be paired up with Adrien and not Sabrina.
