Marinette POV
Luckily for Marinette her school wasn't too far away from her house, it was right across the street she ran attempting to make it on time but her clumsy self tripped on the sidewalk. she stood up and dusted herself off. All of a sudden she felt dizzy and collapsed on the floor.
She tried looking around for the cause but there was nothing but cars.
She attempted to stand up but failed when she called for help the only thing that came out of her mouth was whimpers.
Adrien's POV
Adrien's bodyguard drove in silence not even his usual grunts escaped his mouth.
"Can we take the bakery route? I hear they make the best bread in Paris"
Adrien said in a convincing tone. Natalie wasn't so sure but she knew this wasn't going to take as long and bother his schedule.
"Go Adrien, you have 10 minutes until departure.
Adrien rushed and without looking he tripped on something or someone?
Marinette's POV
I was attempting to stand up but my body wouldn't move I was curled into a ball in the middle of the street and my parents were having a busy day at the bakery so they couldn't have left it unattended.
All of a sudden she felt a hard blow to her rib she whimpered at the pain left behind.
It just so happened that someone had fallen on the ground next to her. Her vision was blurry and she couldn't tell who it was.
Then a life-changing angel was there extending his hand to her.
She grabbed onto his hand and then her pain was swept away.
"I thought you may need some help, you, okay? Nothing broken?"
"No, I am ok, Thanks What's your name?"
Marinette said standing up.
"Adrien"
"Really? I am Marinette"
"Hello Marinette"
Wait she knew who this was he was THE ADRIEN AGREST his favorite and best designer's son
"Hey! Your Adrien Agrest, right?"
"Well yes, I am."
"Here Want some free bread? As thanks?"
"I would love to but I have to go soon"
"See you around Marinette"
Marinette contemplated staying home since she was already going to be late for some reason, she knew she had seen Adrien somewhere else… even though she had never really been a fan of his.
She ran to try to get to school but her mind kept on asking her questions and nagging on the subject.
Where had she seen him before?
How did she get on the ground in the first place and why?
She arrived 20 minutes late to her class.
Her teacher gave her the usual look
"Late on your first day Marinette?"
"My bakery burned my bread I mean my bread burned my bakery I mean-"
"Take a seat Dupain-Cheng," Her teacher said holding on to the last four letters of dad's last name.
The whole class snickered especially Chloe Her biggest enemy and worst person on earth.
She found her way to her usual seat when Chloe's daughter of the mayor started Marinette's daily dose of bullying. "Excuse me, Dupain Cheng this is my seat"
"I always sit here, Chloe"
"Not this year, New year, New seats"
"Go sit next to the new girl."
"Hey! How elected you queen of seats?"
"Aww look Sabrina we have a little do-gooder this year"
"What are you going to do shoot beams at me with your glasses?"
"wouldn't you want to know"
"Come on," she said grabbing Marinette's hand.
"How did you do that?"
"Do what girl?"
"Stand up to Chloe like that?"
"Nothing, all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is the good people do nothing"
"She is Evil and we are the good people so we do Nothing"
"Wow, Marinette"
"Alya"
She shifted her attention to the door, in fact, the whole class did.
"Sorry I am late" He announced as if he was actually wanted to be here.
Just as he was going to take a seat a loud roar like voice was heard
"KIM"
"KIM"
"EVERYONE HEAD HOME FOR THE DAY!"
Marinette ran just like the crowd
"Who is this monster?"
Just when she was about to leave, He saw Adrien on the the ground just like her earlier.
She extended her hand to him and pulled him up.
"Thanks" was a simple yet understandable gratitude indicator as he dashed out the door and into his body guard's car just as everyone else.
Adrien's POV
Adrien arrived home and into his jail cell everyone else called a room.
He sat on his couch and flipped on his television he saw the news and tried to hypothesis who this monster could be.
It's my first day I school and this happens.
I finally convinced Natalie to let me go to school, but it just never goes as planned, I am unlucky.
He thought on that when his door burst open
"Adrien you will not be attending school this afternoon. School is dangerous and so is the outside world."
"But Father, It's not dangerous!"
"I just want to be like everyone else!"
"I just want friends"
"You are my son and you will not be attending a school that's final"
Gabriel barged out of the room with his hands rolled into a fist.
As soon as Gabriel left Adrien spotted a box on the couch it contained a nice silver ring Adrien looked around but nobody was there "have I always had this?" out of curiosity Adrien made an agreement with himself to try it on then return it to its original containment box just as he put on his ring nothing happened, as he was about to take it off a bright light appeared out of nowhere.
"Wow, no way! You are like the genie from the lamp!"
"So? I met him once so he grants wishes what's the big deal?"
"Nice to meet you I am your Kwami, Plagg I grant superpowers."
"Get it?"
"No" Adrien shook his head in confusion
"Great, now what do you have to eat kid?"
Plagg flew around the room attempting to bite everything and messing with his neatly organized things
Adrien couldn't believe it his father must be pranking him? Right?
He continued to chase the mysterious creature around his house telling him not to touch things until the creature finally settled down after getting bored and explained the whole superhero stuff very superficially.
"All you have to do is say Plagg, claws out to transform."
Adrien wanting to get out of his house impulsively transformed into a cat-themed hero
"Wow, this is awesome!"
He jumped with his baton out of his house. He had never felt this free He jumped from rooftop to rooftop wondering how he had fallen in the first place and how he couldn't get up.
He also thought that Marinette was the one that helped him up, Talk about good karma.
He had so many questions, how did this ring and the magical creature merge together?
He kept on thinking about that when a red blur knocked him down.
