Talk to me. NathanaëlxOC Miraculous: Ladybug

Chapter 2 Letters

Authors note~
Okay before I start the chapter I wanted to make sure you understand that the italics are used to show what people/Stella is thinking or "saying" to herself. It also represents sounds do NOT get them mixed up. And I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MAKE NATHANAËL TALK. So his dialogue will be different than from the show 'cause I'm an idiot.

Stella's PoV
     Mari pulled me up the steps and into our first period class. She told me to stay up in the front and wait for Mrs. Mendeleiev to introduce me to the rest of the class. I started to fiddle with the ends of my cardigan as I waited for the teacher to arrive. Thankfully, I didn't have to wait very long. She walked in and looked at me like she was checking if I was some crazy drug dealer or something.
     "Miss Bishop, please step forward." I winced. I hated being called a Bishop. My real name is Stella Ann Hope, but since my parents died and I moved in with the Bishops everyone referred to me as one. I HATE it.
I walked forward to the front of the class, Mrs. Mendeleiev put her hand on my shoulder and said, "Class, this is Stella Bishop, she is a mute, meaning she cannot speak," she paused, looked at me and continued. "Having said that I hope you treat her like any other student. She is no different from you minus the fact that she can't speak."
     She turned to me with her sharp blue eyes and said, "You will sit in the back next to Nathanaël." I looked up to see Nath staring at me quizzically. Oh no, he's probably going to think I lied to him about my name. God, why did I have to be associated with the Bishops.
I slowly made my way towards the back of the class. As I sat down I heard snickering from up in the front. I put my stuff down and looked up to see the blonde- Chloe- and her redheaded friend turned around making love hearts in the air and making kissy faces at me and Nath. I was angry, of course I was angry, who wouldn't be, but I couldn't have done anything anyway so I sat down and and tried to just deal with it.
     I tried to take notes when a piece of paper slid up to my tablet, it said:
          Stella Bishop? I thought you said your name was Stella Hope.
- Nath
     I took the note and quickly scribbled:
          My full name is Stella Ann Hope. My foster family's the Bishops
-Stel
     I slid the note back to him and he took it in his hand, his eyes grew wide as he read the note for the second time. He quickly turned it over and wrote:
FOSTER!!?!
     I didn't have to read what he wrote, I knew what he was going to say. I nugged his shoulder and gave him a look that said "I'll explain later" He nodded and continued his notes.

Le Time Skip To Lunch

Nath's PoV
     I looked over at Stella as one word kept replaying over and over again in my mind. Foster. I just couldn't believe it, what could have happened to her that would have put her in this position. She was such a sweet girl, she didn't deserve that. I started to blush. W-Wait w-what are you t-thinking Nath, g-get ahold o-of y-yourself! I grabbed my lunch and sat down, Stel sitting down in front of me and handing me a slip of paper. There was something written on it, it read:
So, I guess I owe you an explanation don't I. (つ•-•)つ
     I handed back the slip of paper after looking at the little face she drew.
     "Y-Yes you d-do." I said quietly, I honestly felt kind of bad. I've only known this girl for less than a day and I'm already prying into her personal life. I looked over to her and saw her scribbling away in her spiral notebook. She looked up, tore out the paper she was writing on and handed it to me. It said:
I was visiting my aunts and uncles here in Paris over the summer when I was six. My mom and dad had to go back to my hometown for important business. Everything was fine with me until I found out their plane crashed after flying into a storm. I was in foster care for a year or so after. Always ready to move and go live with complete strangers for weeks. That is until the Bishops took me in. I've lived with them for about six years. But I've never spoken to them, obviously, they try to talk to me but I just tune them out. I haven't said a word for seven years. Don't get me wrong, I used to talk and sing and I was about the loudest person ever but after the crash the need for words just withered away I can't speak even if I wanted to.
     I read over the note about five times after, a million questions popping into my mind all at once. What about your aunts and uncles? Are the Bishops kind to you? Have you even tried to speak after the cra- My thoughts were interrupted by a high pitched squeal. I turned around as the paper was ripped from my grasp.
"What's this? Is the little art nerd trying to get the stupid mute girl to say her first words? Oh how cute." Chloe started to cackle. "Hahahahhaha, and look at this, a love note? Ha!" Chloe started to read the note out loud for everyone to hear.
     People started looking over at Stella, giving her sympathetic looks the farther Chloe went along.
     "I can't speak even if I-" She was cut off by a blonde haired boy in a black stripped shirt.
  "Chloe that's enough! I've put up with your constant bullying towards the other students all year. But picking on someone who is incapable of fighting back, thats just cruel!"
  "Uh, but Adrikins! It's not like she can understand me!"
     "Just because she's mute doesn't mean she's deaf too! You shouldn't be picking on her, it's not like she asked to be like this!" Adrien looked over at me and Stella.
     "Hey I'm sorry about the way Chloe's been treating yo-" he stopped looking solely at Stella. I turned around to see her weeping into her hands before getting up and running away.
     "S-Stella! H-Hold on!" I yelled after her, but she just kept on running.
