(From now on I will be putting what day it is up here since the days in the story don't match up with real life. Friday)
Ring Ring Ring. Waking up I get out of bed and prepare for the day, on the way to school I saw the 'macaron' bakery is having a sale on macarons and all I can say is my wallet got a lot lighter after the deed was done. Walking into class and up to my seat Adrien sees my bag and asks "Caleb why is your bag filled with macarons" "Il y avait une vente" I answer in French "Good to see the lessons aren't going to waste" "Well I can't take all the credit for it my teacher is pretty good at his job." "Okay class today you will be doing this assignment today with someone you don't know" this should be easy I don't know anyone but Adrien and Alya only knows me as Ruff Rider "Hey would like to work together" looking at the person who asked I see it is Marinette "Yeah, Marinette right" "Yes and you are Caleb if I remember correctly" "The one and only." A few minutes past when I noticed that Marinette was staring off into space "Marinette, Earth to marinette" "What" Marinette asks snapping back to reality "Nothing so where were we" about halfway through the class Marinette starts staring at something again. "Marinette did you sleep well last night" "Yeah why" "Because you keep staring off into space" blushing Marinette says "Yeah space that's what I was staring at" near the end of class we were almost done with the assignment when Marinette starts to stare at something again, wanting to know what I stand up and walk behind her without her noticing. The only thing in that direction is Adrien and his partner next to a window, that must be it she is staring out the window, Marinette noticing i'm no longer sitting turns around and sees me behind her "What are you doing" "Trying to figure out what you're staring at" "Did you" "Yeah, although I don't know what's so interesting outside it's just a few trees" Marinette lets go of her breath when she realizes she wasn't caught staring at Adrien. After class and the French lesson Adrien is about to go when I ask "Are we still meeting at the park later today" "Yeah, you going to be there" "Wouldn't miss it for the world" heading home I kept getting weird looks from people nearby which was a little strange but I ignored it, getting home I put my bag down and remember that I had boxes upon boxes of macarons sticking out my bag Pluto laughing says "You are by far the weirdest human I have ever been assigned too" "Am I your favorite though" "Nope, my favorite holder so far lived during the renaissance" "Guess i'll have to change that" "Well you are a close fifth so you have chance" "I'm not even in the top three that's cold" "Just like the meat you feed me."
Laughing and continuing to diss each other I check my phone for the time "Hey Pluto it's time" heading out the door I start walking towards the park with my bag. When I arrive the park is filled with life from people playing to birds singing to Adrien waving his hands to get my attention "Hey Adrien" I say as I walk over there I see that Nino and Marinette are already here "Hey Caleb glad to see you could make it" "Well I had a whole bunch of macarons and no one to eat them" "Did you get those from my parents bakery" Marinette asks looking at the boxes "Yeah, I go there for all my macaron needs" "I don't think I have ever seen someone with so many macarons before" Nino says staring at the sheer amount of boxes filled with macarons in my bag. "Hey guys sorry i'm late I was working on the LadyBlog and I lost track of time" "It's good you're only a few minutes late" Marinette says to Alya "Besides we were to busy trying to figure out why Caleb has so many macarons" Nino adds "The reason I bought so many is because i'm American and you will never see an American do anything on a small scale" "Well you're not American anymore your French now" "Then explain this" I say as I show them my phone's wallpaper which is an american flag "Can't argue with that" Adrien says right before we all start laughing. Alya the first to recover says "What are we doing laughing when we could be eating macarons" as she says this Alya grabs a box from my bag and opens it taking a bite out of one "I'm game" I say as I reach my hand to the box for one that is until Alya whips the box out of my reach. "Nope this is my box get your own" "But that was mine" "Not anymore" she says smiling as she takes a bite out of another one. Setting my bag down I Nino, Adrien, and Marinette all grab a box and watch the whole thing go down "I think that's a challenge if there ever was one" "Come and get it" lunging for the box Alya easily steps aside and eats another one "Have to be faster than that" Alya taunts. "That was just a warm-up" I run and try to take the box which she deftly moves it out of the way right in time for me to trip over a rock and see her eat another one"Good one Caleb you almost got it" Adrien says next to a laughing Nino and Marinette. "Well Caleb looks like there is only one left" Alya tries to taunt before laughing at the silliness of this game. "Don't worry I will get it and I will eat it" I declare before running at her "Here you go" Alya says before tossing the box with one macaron left at me, trying to catch it I end up running into a tree. Standing up with the box in hand I take a bow which must have been the last straw because all five of us ended up laying in the grass laughing like there was no tomorrow. After a while Adrien had to leave, then Nino, then Marinette. Leaving just me and Alya "It's getting late Caleb i'm gonna go ahead and head home" "Yeah me too" as we part ways an idea pops into my head "Hey Pluto how about Ruff Rider walks someone home" "Yeah like himself but if you want" "Thanks" finding a place to transform I hurry back and catch up to Alya on the outskirts of the park "Hello what are you doing out here all alone" Alya looking at me smiles and says "Hanging out with some friends, and you" "Well I was in the neighborhood and saw you so I decided to come and chat, so who are these friends of yours anyone special" I ask as Alya starts walking to her house again "My best friends Marinette and Nino along with Adrien and Caleb" "You know I think I met all of them except for Caleb what's he like" "He's funny and nice but won't talk to anyone except for when they start the conversation." "So Ruff Rider what were you doing at the park" "Me I was hanging out with some friends as my civilian self of course, who knows you might've even saw me" "Maybe I already know who you are" Alya says dropping her voice "Y-Y-You do" I stutter out all the color drained from my face "No, but your reaction was priceless" "That's so cruel and to think all the things I do for you" I say faking a pout. "Ahh does Doggo Rider need a treat" Alya says jokingly handing me one of the macarons from earlier "I might be able to forget about this...wait did you say Doggo Rider" "I saw your comment on the poll" "So you saw the poll who did you vote for" Alya's face goes from one of having the upperhand to bashful and red "Aren't I supposed to be asking the questions I am the reporter and I haven't forgotten the five questions you owe me" "Okay what's question number one." "When did you get your powers" "About a week and a half ago" "In what seems to be the small amount of time you have been in Paris who is your bestfriend" "You are" the moment the words left my mouth I realized what I said and instantly feel my temperature rise a few degrees around my face. Looking at Alya I see she has her head down covering her face "So what's your favorite color" "Red" Well then you are going to love the color of my face Alya thinks as she tries to hide her blush lingering from the second question "Are we in the same class" "I can't answer that but I can say I see you everyday" "Have we ever talked during school" "Yes, once I think" "Final question why do you take the time whenever you see me to come and hangout" "Because whenever I see you it's like fireworks going off inside my head" "I think that's called a migraine" "That not what I would call it." Reaching her house both of us redder than a rose in full bloom Alya turns to me "Thanks for answering the questions" "Well if you ever have more questions i'm your guy or you know if you want to hang out"." "Goodnight Ruff Rider" Alya says as she shuts the door "Goodnight Alya" I say to a closed door. Walking home that night with a skip in my step I pick up my bag that I left behind a dumpster and make it home. Going to bed that night I couldn't help but wait for what the weekend will bring.
This may have been my home for a while, but I finally feel like I belong.
Il y avait une vente - There was a sale
