It was 4:00pm as I walked into Françoise Dupont High School. My parents had decided to send me to a fencing club there as the coach was one of the best in Paris and the students are élite fencers. As I walked in, the students walked out as they finished their school day. I had been here before as it was one of the schools my parents considered sending me too.
I walked down the halls to eventually find myself in the changing rooms. I quickly grabbed my mask, glove and sword, then ran into the sports hall. I was greeted by a tall slim man whom I recognized from my last visit.
"Bonjour. You must be the new student, I am Monsieur Armand D'Argencourt you're fencing instructor."
"Bonjour Monsieur Armand D'Argencourt, I am Y/N. My parents informed me that you are one of the best coaches in Paris. I hope to improve my techniques and fence stronger opponents " I said.
"Yes, of course. Now come I've got just the right person you need to fence"
I slid on my mask and walked over to a geared fencer who looked like a teenage boy. His sword was in his hand and he was in the 'on guard' position like he was ready to fight.
I got into the match quite quickly, which took me by surprise.
"On guard... Ready...Fence!"
He went straight for the attack but I paried so his blade was in contact with mine. He tried to move his blade but I had it in a locked position. I then lunged and went for his thigh but narrowly missed.
"30 seconds left!" the coach called.
We were tied: 4 all. I needed to win this point but this fencer had amazing skill and I was beginning to doubt if I could beat him.
I finally lunged at his chest at the last second and managed to hit it right before time ran out. I was so exhausted I tripped and fell into the boy's arms.
"God, are you alright? " he asked.

"S-sorry yeah, I'm fine, I-its just I haven't had a match that intense for a long time." I said.
"Looks like you have got your match Miss Y/N" The coach said.
"Yes it looks like I have. Shall we shake on it then" I asked the boy.
"Sure." He said.
He took of his mask to reveal a boy who was about half a head taller than me. He had brushed-back blond hair and light green eyes. His skin tone was fair with a rosy tint, especially on his cheeks, nose, and the tips of his ears. "God, he looked gorgeous", I thought.

I went in to shake hands with him and my hands suddenly became all sweaty. The nerves had taken over my body. We eventually shook hand and went to go sit on the gym benches.
"You did really well out there. I don't think I've ever fenced someone that skilled before" his sweet voice rang through the air.
"I-um-t-thanks" I managed to say.
"I um forgot to introduce myself...Adrien.. Adrien Agreste "
"Oh your the pretty boy from those magazines" I said.

"Ahaha.... Yeah that's me" he laughed awkwardly but it seemed cute to me.
"Haha. My name Y/N" I said
"Nice to meet you Y/N" he said
After that we practised some footwork drills together and talked a bit until the end of the session. We both grabbed our stuff and walked out of the session together towards our black chauffeured cars. Adrian walked over to my car door.
"Until we meet again, my lady" he said while opening the car door for me,
"You're so cheesy!" I exclaimed
"See you soon Adrien!" I said
"See y'a Y/N" he said.
He shut the door, got into his car and it drove of into the distance.
"Made a new friend already Y/N?" My chauffeur asked.
