"Mister Agreste, Adrien seems to be off lately. He has stopped putting effort into his activities. I think you should talk to him about-" The lady was interrupted by her boss. "He is just asking for attention. He has a mouth. If he needs something of me, he would ask me."

Mister Agreste tells his assistant not noticing that Adrien, his son, was listening to the conversation. Angered by his father's words, Adrien decided to leave. If my father isn't going to acknowledge me, I'm gonna give him a reason to.

"Marinette! Your alarm has been going off for fifteen minutes!" A mother calls out for her daughter, Marinette. She looked at her other daughter, Camellia. "You're going to be late for your first day back at school!"

"Coming!" A girl calls out. Camellia laughed, her sister was always late. She was eating some chocolate cereal while waiting for her clumsy sister. Marinette groans as she rolls out of her loft bed, climbing down the ladder.

She heads down the trapdoor that leads to the kitchen and dining room. She yawns, giving her mother, Sabine a kiss on the cheek. Marinette sat down across from her older sister and waved, lazily. She grabbed the same chocolate cereal and poured some.

"I bet you anything Chloe will be in my class again..." Marinette groans. "Four years in a row.." Camellia lets out a sigh, knowing that Chloe was always a big bully. Camellia had watched how Chloe and Marinette reacted to each other for many years now and, quite frankly, was bored of the banter between the two.

"Is that even possible?" Sabine asked, surprised that the school would put the same people in the same class for that many years. She had heard about Chloe's rudeness for four years, from Marinette.

"Definitely. Lucky me!" Marinette lets out a sarcastic cheer. Camellia laughed at her sister before cleaning up. She headed down the stairs where her bedroom was. She still had to get changed for the day.

"Don't say that! It's the start of a new year. I'm sure everything will be just fine!" Sabine tried to reassure her child. Marinette nodded reluctantly in agreement and placed down the tub of chocolate cereal, more forcefully than she wanted.

As she placed down the tub, a series of events lead to her spilling everything. Marinette sighed, picking up the chocolate tub while Sabine cleaned up the spilled milk. Marinette looked away from the mess and Sabine rubbed a knuckle against her cheek, as a way of comforting her. Marinette smiled.

Camellia had finished getting ready and went downstairs to the bakery. Her father, Tom Dupain, was currently pulling out two cartons of macarons from a secret stash, or from under the register. One for each of his children. "Hi, Papa." She startled the man, him laughing as he handed her one carton.

"Bye Papa. Have a good day." She hugged him before leaving. Marinette and Camellia stopped walking to school together when they in middle school. Marinette would start waking up later, even when school started earlier, and that girl could probably sleep through a war.

Camellia quickly arrived at school and headed to her teacher, Miss Bustier's, classroom. She found her spot next to Nathaniel Kurtzberg, her long time best friend. They often talked about their dreams of becoming a well known author and comic book artist.
