Chapter 1
"Jessica! Wake up, Darling!" Jessica got out of her bed and got ready for school. She just moved to Paris from Spain and was ready to start new. No one would know who her parents were and no one would judge her based on her past, the good and the bad.
"Sweetie, what would you like for breakfast? The new butler will have it made for you." Her mom said while staring at a computer screen, probably answering fan mail.
Her mother was the famous actress and singer, Amelie Winters. Her name, meaning hard working and industrious, fit her well, but it also meant she didn't always have time for her daughter.
"Mom, can we eat together today?" Jessica asked hopefully. They hadn't had breakfast together and at the same time since the accident.
"I'm sorry, Jessica! I really have to finish this. My agent just emailed me about a few really big roles that could change my entire career. Afterwards, I need to go to the studio to rehearse my songs, pick up the outfit that Gabriel made for me, and go to a meeting with my agent and manager to-", but before she could finish, Jessica interrupted.
"Okay, I get it, Mom." She stood up from the long table and began to walk away.
"Don't you want any breakfast?" Her mom asked her with a sad expression on her face. Jessica turned around and looked her in the eyes.
"I'm fine, Maman, I just want to get to school." She picked up her backpack and walked outside. Like always, she found her chauffeur waiting outside the mansion, "Good morning, Charles." She said to him smiling. She opened the door and got into the limousine. This was definitely not going to help her have a low profile around school.
"Good morning, Miss. Ready for your first day of school?" He questioned while looking at her through a mirror in the car.
"I've known you for years and I keep telling you! You don't have to call me Miss." She giggled. Charles was one of the closest people to her. She told him everything, especially when her mom was busy. She trusted him with her life, which was also why she felt completely comfortable with him driving a car with her in it.
"I apologize," though he smiled at her, looking amused, "Is that a new necklace?" He noticed the silver chain with a gray crescent on it hanging from her neck.
"Oh uh, yea. It's something I bought here." She quickly grabbed the crescent moon charm and hid it in her shirt. No one could know about what it really was.
Jessica walked up the steps to the school. Just breathe, Jessica! Everything will be fine! Only a few people saw you get out of the limo. No one will know who you are.
"OMG IS THAT REALLY HER!" Too late. A group of girls ran over to her and started jumping up and down with excitement.
"I love your mom! Both of you are so amazing!" One girl with brown hair said.
"Could you please ask her to give me her autograph!" Another girl with red hair begged her, "Oh, by the way, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad." To Jessica's distaste, she hugged her tightly.
"Oh, thank you." She said as she tried to wrestle herself out of the red-heads grasp, "I need to go now though, sorry. Can't be late on my first day." She quickly ran away and hid in the bathroom. She hadn't been in the school for 3 minutes and she already had a fanclub! Great.
"Luna, come out." Her gray Kwami with yellow eyes crawled out of her purse and yawned. "I was in the middle of a really good dream, Jessica!"
"Was it about a certain kitty that you won't stop talking about?" Jessica chuckled at the little wolf.
Luna rolled her eyes, "Actually it was about having the chance to live on the moon, but that's not a pretty bad dream either." Suddenly they heard murmurs outside of the bathroom door. Luna zoomed into Jessica's purse and tried to be as quiet as she could.
"Aren't dogs and cats supposed to be enemies?"
"Well maybe kwamis are different than dumb animals!" She answered sassily, with her hands on her hips.
"I know right, Sabrina! I just don't understand why-" She stopped talking as soon as she noticed Jessica standing in the bathroom, "Who are you?" She asked, narrowing her eyes at her.
"I'm Jessica Winters." She told her shyly.
"Wait, like THE Jessica Winters? As in daughter of Amelie Winters?" She shouted. The girl, apparently named Sabrina, was staring at Jessica, awestruck.
"Yep that's me." Jessica murmured. She was definitely not excited that another person knew who she was. She decided she would just have to get used to it, since there was no way for her to hide now.
Before the blonde haired girl or Sabrina could say a word, Jessica walked out of the bathroom as quickly as she could.
Jessica walked around the school looking for her locker. Aha, #313. She unlocked it and started to put her everything into it, until she heard a familiar voice from behind her.
"Having fun so far?" Jessica turned around and saw bright green eyes looking back at her.
"Hey, Adrien. I guess so." Adrien was the only person she knew at this school. His dad, Gabriel Agreste, designed many outfits and accessories for her mom, so Adrien was one of her best friends. They had known each other since they were little. She had many friends from the many schools she's had to go to, but most of them were often after something. Adrien was one person that didn't care who her mom was and understood how she felt.
"That's good, I think?" He thought to himself, "Anyway, I'm sorry to hear about your dad."
He looked at her with a sad expression on his face. She had heard those words many times before, more times than she could count, but hearing a friend say it made her want to cry. It made her truly understand that her dad was… gone. Forever.
"Thanks, Adrien." She hugged him tightly, trying to hide that she was crying. She was the kind of person that hated showing any kind of weakness, whether good or bad. The idea that weakness is bad had been injected into her brain since she was young. Weakness slowed you down, weakness created news.
"Come on, let's go to class." Wiping her eyes, Jessica followed him to a room full of students. In one of the seats was the blonde haired girl and the one named Sabrina.
"Who's that?" Jessica asked him, "I met her earlier, but I don't know her name yet.
"Oh that's Chloe. The girl next to her is Sabrina." Jessica looked at the two students, who were talking to each other in low voices. Jessica may have imagined it, but she thought she saw Chloe glare right at her for a second. Adrien noticed this and blocked Chloe's view from her, "They weren't mean to you when you met them, right?" He asked her, worriedly.
"No, no." She told him, which made him feel a lot better. He didn't want her first impression of the school to be about Chloe and her sometimes unfortunate personality, "Why do you ask?" She looked at him puzzled. Chloe seemed nice enough when they met in the bathroom.
"Let's just say she has a bit of a reputation." Before Jessica could ask what he meant, their teacher walked over.
"Hello! Are you the new student?" She asked Jessica kindly.
"Yea, my name is Jessica Winters." She said quietly. As soon as she said her name, she could see the look of shock on her classmates' faces.
"Fantastique! I hope you like it here, Jessica. Our classroom is a little full but you can sit wherever you would like to. There may have to be 3 people in one seat though." Jessica looked around the room and noticed that every desk had 2 people in it, other than one tomato red haired boy that was sitting alone and drawing in the back.
"Here, sit with me Jessica." Adrien sat down and patted the seat next to him, "My friend, Nino, will be coming later."
Have you ever felt like someone was staring at you? Jessica felt a lot like that at the moment. She turned around and saw Chloe glaring at her. Now she knew that she didn't imagine it before, but what did Chloe have against her?
Chapters will be much longer soon!
