Gaze

Blue Bird

A few minutes had passed, and one question still remained in their heads.

Are you like me?

She felt him looking at her, but ignored the thought, as the bus had come to a stop.

As she stood up, she waited for the door to open, giving the driver a silent thank you while walking towards her destination.

Not four seconds later she heard a voice.

'wait!' the boy yelled at the girl, running up to her. Blue clashed with green as their eyes met.

'do you know where collège Dupont is?' he asked her. She was a little disappointed that he hadn't asked her if he felt the strange feeling they had on the bus.

'oh, um yes. If you walk straight from here, take a left, then turn right, you should be able to see the front'. She told him, while smiling slightly.

'but, the gates are closed, it opens at seven.'

she was a little taken aback, as it had started to rain again. She inhaled a sharp breath as rain drops soaked her skin. Not only that but she had forgotten her umbrella on the bus.

As if he read her mind, he chuckled lightly, and opened his umbrella for them to hid under.

He started walking towards the school, but she stopped him.

'I have an idea. Head to that building over there.' she pointed towards a bakery, and he happily agreed.

As they entered, they were greeted by the owners.

'Good morning, what can I get you-' he stopped when he saw his daughter standing by the door.

'Marinette,  did you take the bus again?  We were so worried about you!'.  They exclaimed, hugging their daughter.

'i can't breath.' she said, her voice muffled between their embrace.

They let go of her, and went over to the boy, who was still standing by the open door.

'come in, you'll freeze to death. sweetie, go get a dry coat for your friend.' Sabine called walking over to their kitchen.

'yes mama, I'll be right back.' she told the  boy, while walking upstairs to her bedroom.

She had been working on a new winter line, spending her free time making hoodies, scarfs and  beanies. She had no other coats that would fit him, so she had to use the one she was alsomt finished working on.

'Umm, could you come up here, i need your measurements for the hoodie. that is , if you don't mind.' she said, ushering him to follow her.

'no problem, but may I ask why?'

'oh, umm. Its easier if I just show you.'

As they entered her room, he was greeted by the colour of pink.

She unravelled the tape, and measured him. Careful not to trip over her feet, she made her way to her desk, and began to work. Merely minutes later, she was finished.

The hoodie was black, it had a simple green cat print on the front, and cat ears stitched to the hood. She had made pockets as well, she lined them with a fluffy wool, to keep their hands warm.

It fitted him perfectly.

' Wow, this is really well done. Did you make this whole thing yourself?' she nodded at him, while giving a small smile.

'i think your a better designer than my father-' he quickly put his hand over his mouth, waiting to be attacked. Fangirls were scary.

'it's okay.' she said laughing. this poor, poor boy.

'i knew.' she continued to giggle. he stared at her in shock. Why wasn't she tackling him?

She smiled at the boy, and they both headed down stairs. They were given hot chocolate, and they chatted about random stuff.

It was about half an hour till school started, so they said their goodbyes, and the boy headed out. Leaving the girl with her parents.

'Marinette, you know better than to sneak out of the house, just tell us next time, okay?'

'yes papa, I'm sorry'.

As usual, she was late.

She ran to her school, putting the stuff she didn't need in her locker before running up the stairs to her class. She made her way to her seat, careful not to make a noise.

Adrien got lost, but easily found his way, but was caught by his body guard.

In the end, his father agreed to him going to a public school.

Once he arrived, he was bombarded with questions. He just wanted to go to school. He arrived at his assigned class and was introduced. There was another new students, a girl.

'Adrien, you can sit next to Nino. And Ayla, go sit behind him.' they took their seats, and quickly became friends with the people next to them.

Adrien didn't even realise that he was sitting in front of the blue eyed girl, nor did he notice that she was watching him. when he grabbed his pencil, tiny black sparks of fire erupted from his hand.

She sat there is shock. Did he just? What just happened?

The bell rang, and snapped her out of her dazed state.

They class headed out to the cafeteria, the two girls made their way to a shady corner table, they were chatting about their interests and hobbies. It seemed as if they had been friends for years.

She started feeling weird. She felt.... Cold? She shivered in her chair. This immediately became aware by Ayla.

'girl, you feeling okay? Your shaking'.

'umm, just a little cold is all.' She smiled at her friend. She didn't want her to worry. It was probably just the wind anyway.

She looked over her friend shoulder, and saw Adrien and Nino looking for a table.

'hey guys, come sit over here!' she yell out to them trying to forget about what had happened merely seconds ago.

'thanks Marinette, your a life saver.' the two said their thanks and sat down.

Adrien noticed she was shivering, where was her coat? And why was she shaking? Its so hot in here.
He picked up his bag, and handed her his hoodie. Well technically it was hers, so...

'oh, thanks.' she looked up at him. As she grabbed the jumper, their hands touched.

He yanked his hand back in surprise. Not because it was awkward. She was freezing. She was so freezing, his fingers went numb. He examined his hand to find tiny icicles on them. He looked back at Marinette, who was frozen. not in ice, but in embarrassment.

'I- I, umm. I need to go. Bye.'

He knows.
