Morning had arrived and Marinette found herself on the floor. She was confused at first but when she saw Xavier sprawled out, taking up the entire bed it started to make sense.
"Well at least she's comfortable." Tikki mumbled as she appeared.
Marinette looked over at the alarm clock, the alarm didn't go off when it was supposed to.
"Ah!" The girl exclaimed when she saw that she only had fifteen minutes to get to class. Xavier abruptly woke up when the girl screamed.
((in English))"What's going on?" the boy asked while rubbing his tired eyes.
"We have to go; we're going to be late." Marinette said while running around the room, gathering her things. The boy groaned and slowly stood up. Xavier yawned and turned to face Marinette when he noticed that she was changing out of her pajamas into her school clothes. The boy turned bright red and quickly looked away. "I'll meet you downstairs." The girl said while lifting up the door panel and leaving.
"For shame, Xavier! To watch a girl undress." The green dragonfly kwami lectured.
"You make me sound like a pervert." Xavier said while flinging his shirt at the kwami.
"Promise me you won't do that again." Sal protested.
"What again?" The boy asked while changing back into the clothes he wore the night before.
"Sleep with Marinette in the same bed, watch her get changed, trick her into thinking you're a girl…" Sal started to list.
"As I recall, Marinette slept on the floor." Xavier said while gathering his bookbag.
"Yes, but only after I pried you off of her. Then you kicked her to the floor in your sleep." The kwami said while climbing into the bag, "I swear, you are more of a gentleman in your sleep…" Sal trailed off.
The boy opened the floor panel and walked down the stairs.
''Come on, Xaviere!" Marinette called from the door way. Xavier chased after her as she fled out the door, "Bye Mom, bye dad, love you!" the girl called as she left.
"Have a good time at school, you two." Sabine yelled from the doorway as the two ran down the street.

Marinette ran into the classroom right as the morning bell rung, Xavier was only seconds behind her. Luckily the teacher was still making her way to the classroom so only Chloe was judging her tardiness.
"Hey Marinette, is this Francois's new daughter?" Alya asked as Marinette lead Xavier to her seat.
"My name is Xavier. How you are fine?" The boy asked while extending his hand to Alya. Alya took a moment, as she was thrown off with the combination of heavy accent and bad grammar.
"I'm good. Where are you from?" She asked while the three of them squished into Marinette and Alya's row.
"Canada." Xavier replied.
"Canada? What do you have a pet moose and drink maple syrup?" Chloe teased. Xavier glared at them with such intensity, Chloe believed for a moment she was staring at death.
"Maple syrup is good." Xavier said cheerfully.
"Canadian maple syrup is the best! I went to Quebec to visit my aunt last spring, and brought me to the best pancake place." Nino said, "I'm Nino by the way and this is Adrien." Adrien smiled at the new student. Xavier stared at Adrien and slowly got closer and closer to his face, till their noses were practically touching. Then he pulled away quickly and snapped his fingers and pointed at Adrien.
"Boy love, right?" Xavier said to Marinette. Marinette turned bright red and slammed her hand over Xavier's mouth.
"What was that-" Adrien started.
"She must of seen you in a fashion magazine, she must of thought you were handsome." Alya tried to cover. Adrien smiled awkwardly and faced the front of the class as the teacher walked in.
"Ah, We have a new student joining our class today." The teacher said while gesturing for Xavier to come to the front of the class. Xavier stood up and started to walk towards the front. From inside his book bag, he could hear Sal,
"Tell everyone the truth now, or so help me."
"fine…" Xavier whispered.
The teacher had Xavier stand in the front and tell the class about himself.
"My name is Xaviere. I from Canada. Mother married Francois, live now here. Speak English most time. I like Jagged Stone. Thank you." The boy then returned to his seat beside Marinette. Sal grumbled in his bag.
._.
The bell had rung, and the class started to find their math textbooks. Xavier raised his hand.
"May I leave for restroom?" he asked.
"Of course, Adrien, can you please show Xaviere where the restroom is?" The teacher asked, Adrien accepted.
Adrien lead Xavier in slience to the woman's restroom.
((in English))"Here you are." Adrien said while smiling. Xavier rolled his eyes.
"Thank you." Xavier said while starting to walk into the men's.
"No, That's for men, this one is for you." Adrien said slowly while directing Xavier to the woman's. Xavier just rolled his eyes again and walked into the men's. Adrien took a moment before deciding to follow 'her' in. To his surprise he saw Xavier at the urinal.
"You're a guy?" Adrien asked.
"Yeah, I'm a guy. What's it to you." Xavier spoke in his natural voice which was about an octave deeper then what he was using with the class.
"Does Marinette know?"
"Again, What's it to you?"
"She's my friend, who are you?" Adrien asked. Xavier finished up and washed his hands before answering.
"Hello, I am Mr. Xavier Vassuer. I am originally from British Columbia in Canada. I turned sixteen last week, I attended a French emersion school to which their credits didn't fully transfer, so that's why I have to retake this grade here. I speak three languages fluently, English being my birth language and French being my second and Japanese my third. My mother recently got remarried and now I live here against my will. I apologize for my heavy accent, but I was raised speaking Quebecois. I'm a big Jagged Stone fan, as well as being a fan supernatural entities. I am open to making new friends, but if you wanted something more intimate, you're too late as I'm already sharing a bed with Marinette." Xavier placed his hands on his hips and smirked, "Any questions?" Adrien looked at him in shock, "Well if that's everything." Xavier opened the door, "You thank for restroom me showing." He said in his higher voice.
._.
The lunch bell rung and everyone left the classroom except for Xavier and Adrien.
"Why did you lie to Marinette?" Adrien asked while Xavier was still gathering his things.
"I never lied to Mari." Xavier said while standing up.
"You told her that you were a girl."
"No, she thinks I am a girl."
"You didn't correct her."
"Why would I correct her? I'm okay with people thinking whatever they want to think about me, I know who I am and that's all that matters." Xavier said mockingly.
"You don't withhold information from friends."
"Yeah, you can."
"Isn't better just to be honest. Sooner or later they'll find out anyways."
"Like you've t told any of your friends your secret."
"I-"
"The secret I solved in three seconds of staring into those lovely green eyes of yours."
"What are you going on about?" Adrien asked. Xavier slammed his hands down on the table.
"You are a cat." Adrien gulped as Xavier spoke, "You only have nine lives on the matter. You don't care that I lied to someone. You love Mari and you're afraid that you'll lose her to me." Adrien sighed in relief knowing that Xavier didn't know his true secret.
"This is getting a bit messy. How about we try to start over. Hi I'm Adrien." The boy held out the hand with the ring. Xavier rolled his eyes but the ring caught his attention and he took Adrien's hand.
"I guess you could say that this is the start of a-" Xavier brought Adrien's hand up to eye level, "Miraculous friendship."
