Another sunny day in the city of Paris and Nathaniel Kurtzberg is ready to face another day of school, since his crush Marinette Dupain-Cheng is in all of the same classes as him. The young redhead got out of bed with a smile on his face before showering, dressing up in his usual attire consisting of purple skinny jeans, red t-shirt with a blazer over the top, and his red converse, packing his bag, combing his hair with his fringe almost covering his left eye, eating breakfast consisting of a croissant and fruit juice, brushing his teeth, and quickly rushing out of the house to get to school.

Upon his arrival outside Collège François Dupont, there weren't many people outside, as everyone was only just arriving. Nathaniel couldn't see Marinette anywhere yet, but saw her best friend Alya who was texting away on her phone.

Adrien Agreste, famous teen model in Paris and son to Gabriel Agreste, woke up bright and early, he loved school very much, better than being homeschooled if you ask him. His Kwami, Plagg buzzed around his head as he made his way to his wardrobe and picked out his trademark outfit: black t-shirt with yellow, dark yellow, green, dark green and purple stripes, a white shirt with turned up sleeves and collar, blue denim skinny jeans and orange converse with a black butterfly on the side at each heel.

"Another day of more school." Plagg complained. "I hope you packed extra Camembert for me." He continued, his eyes showing mini love hearts as he began to ramble on about his beloved cheese. Adrien rolled his eyes and chuckled.

"Plagg, you're rambling again. And may I remind you that people smell better than Camembert." The blonde pointed out.

"Ah, but Camembert tastes better than people, Monsieur Agreste." Plagg responded, wiggling his non-existent eyebrows and waving his little paws around jazz hands style. Adrien's eyes widened at Plagg's sudden response before he hastily packed his bag, brushed his hair and teeth, and instructed Plagg to hide in his shirt pocket. On his way to the limo which was waiting for him outside, he grabbed an apple and some Camembert for his cheese obsessed Kwami.

"Good morning, Master Agreste, here is your schedule for today." Gabriel Agreste's assistant Nathalie said, handing the blonde a sheet of paper.

"Merci Nathalie." Adrien thanked her before heading outside, where the driver who he calls the Gorilla was waiting for him. The animal shaped man greeted the teen with a grunt before opening the door, allowing Adrien to climb in and sit down. He then closed the door and entered the driver seat, starting the limo and driving towards the school.

Marinette Dupain-Cheng never heard her alarm clock for school which went off at 6:30am, which meant that she overslept. Her Kwami, Tikki flew over to her and pulled the doona off of her, causing the bluenette to flinch and clench her eyes shut, instinctively reaching for the warmth that the doona provided.

"Five more minutes." Marinette mumbled as she turned over and curled up into a ball.

"Marinette, you don't have 5 minutes, school starts in 2 minutes." Tikki squeaked, quickly throwing clothes towards Marinette. The bluenette looked at the time and grabbed at her hair in panic.

"Oh my gosh, Tikki! Why didn't you wake me sooner?!? I'm gonna be late!!" She shot out of bed and cleaned herself up, putting on her usual pink skinny jeans, white flower print t-shirt with a black blazer, and baby pink flats. She tied her hair up into her usual pigtails before brushing her teeth, packing her bag, giving Tikki a cookie and rushing downstairs to grab an apple.

"Bye Papa, bye Maman." She said hurriedly, giving both her parents a hug and kiss on the cheek before rushing out of the bakery and running all the way to school.

"You can make it Marinette, you just gotta run really fast." Tikki encouraged, poking her head out of Marinette's purse.

"I'm running as fast as I can Tikki! I can't be late again! I can't have Adrien thinking that I'm slacking off or missing the start of school on purpose!" Marinette said, more to herself than to Tikki.

As soon as she got to school, Nathaniel caught a glimpse of her rushing up the staircase, as well as Adrien arriving in the limo. Marinette heard the door close and turned around to see the young blonde stepping out of the vehicle and making his way towards the building.

"H-Hi A-Adrien." She stammered with a wave. Adrien looked at her with a warm smile before waving back.

"Hey Marinette." He responded as he walked up the stairs and towards homeroom. Marinette watched after him in admiration, watching the way his blonde locks bounced as he walked. She was so caught up in her daydreaming that she didn't hear Nathaniel speaking to her.

"-Ette? You okay?" The redhead asked her curiously, a little worried about her. Marinette shook her head and turned to face him.

"I'm so sorry Nathaniel, I didn't see you there." She said apologetically. "I'm fine, thanks." She added before checking the time and noticing that there were 10 seconds left before herself and Nathaniel were officially late for homeroom. "Gah! But I won't be if we're both late! Come on!" Marinette grabbed his hand and ran with him towards the specified classroom before he could say anything.

Both teens reached homeroom just as the bell rang, Marinette sighed in relief and Nathaniel was worried, he was never in the classroom at this time, he was always early.

"We're not late!" The bluenette cheered happily. Nathaniel just gave a nod and went to his seat with blushing cheeks. 'She held my hand!' He thought to himself.

"Alright everyone, take your seats and I will take attendance." The homeroom teacher, Ms. Bustier announced. Each student sat down in their designated seats as Ms. Bustier took out the attendance sheet. She called out the names of everyone in the room, as she got to a certain rich girl's name, all heads turned towards a certain spot.

"Chloe Bourgeois!" Ms. Bustier called out. When there was no response, she put a cross next to Chloe's name. She was about to call the name of the next student when she got interrupted.

"I'm here Ms. Bustier." The voice of Chloe said. "I tried to get here earlier, but I got held up talking to some friends of my father on the way. I assure you it won't happen again." She continued.

"That's quite alright Miss Bourgeois. Please take your seat." Ms. Bustier responded as she erased the cross and changed it to a tick. Once homeroom concluded, everyone made their way to their first class.
