As Gorilla parked Adrien's Tesla on the grand entryway gates of The Agreste Mansion, Adrien walked out of the front door wearing a brown leather jacket lined with shearling, a white turtleneck underneath it and Grey trousers. He paired this winter style with brown sneakers.
Adrien signed Gorilla to take a U-Turn and park the car on the other side of the road.
Suddenly, Adrien was swarmed with a herd of Paparazzis and fans as he was about to cross the road. Few of the reporters were shoving microphones in his face bombarding him with questions regarding his return.
"We learnt you arrived today in Paris, Adrien. Are you going to be back in modeling with The Agreste Brand?"
"Are these holes of ear piercings? Did you make bad life choices and then decided to remove these earrings? Where is our sweet innocent Adrien we all know and loved?"
"What about Agreste Brand. We heard you're the new owner. What about your father? Do you think you're better than the Gabriel Agreste who made you?"
The questions were so ridiculous he knew something was wrong. Gorilla rushed to rescue guarding Adrien making way for him. Adrien in midst of this commotion turned to look at the Mansion and saw Gabriel staring through the glass window with a huge grin on his face. Adrien realized this was his father's doing.
"Do your friends miss you? We heard you haven't kept in contact with them at all! Do they know you're here?" one of the reporters said. They were of course paid by his father for create a bad image for Adrien.
"Actually I'm here to surprise them! So please don't release anything regarding this online till I get to them." Adrien smiled putting his best face forward. Few fans fainted in the background by just looking at him.
Adrien knew he was in big trouble if this media coverage regarding his return aired before he meant his friends, especially Marinette.
He got into his Tesla and started the car. The camera flashes were too much for him, it felt like a PTSD. Adrien started hyperventilating. As he drove away from that mob he couldn't calm himself down. He was only 13 when he was forced into this life of a celebrity. All of this coming back to him, he wasnt ready.
He knew he needed only one thing right now to make him feel better.
Marinette
There was no hiding now. With paparazzis around town, the cat was already out of the bag. He had to drive at her place and meet her before she found out from the media.
Adrien ran up the stairs of her house and knocked on the door. He paced around the hallway nervously feeling his heartbeats brust through his body. After a while of waiting, Adrien took out his phone to look at the time.
3:50 PM
"Shit" Adrien said as he ran down the stairs. He had completely forgotten about her Boat Party.
Adrien drove as fast as he could. He wanted to get to Luka's at all cost. Adrien parked his car and ran to the docks but the boat was gone.
4:30 PM
"Son of a FUCK!" Adrien shouted as he ran back to his car. Traffic was not in his favour today. While he started the engines, he wasn't sure if he was hyperventilating or just tired from all the running.
Adrien reached Île aux Cygnes and parked his car. With the view of the Statue of Liberty and a long way to run till there, he made sure he scouted the area first before he committed to running all the way again.
5:05 PM
As he looked around the around the artifical island, his eyes widened when he saw the ship docking
