First Day

You groaned upon hearing one of your favorite songs, which isn't an often occurrence.

But today it's waking you up, instead of just listening to it.

You hit the snooze button on the alarm, then cover your head with the blankets.

Before you can go back to sleep, the song blares again, so you shut it off and drag yourself up to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Why me?" You mutter, standing up and going to get ready.

When you're dressed and have everything you should need, you go to the kitchen for f/b.

After eating you tell your parents goodbye, and head out, then walk in the direction of the school.

When you get there, you see a familiar head of blond hair getting out of a car.

Quickly making sure nobody else is around, and the few that are, aren't looking in your direction, you quickly walk over to him.

"Hello, my good sir! Could you purrhaps point me in the direction of the Purrincipal?" You say.

He quickly looks around with a confused and slightly scared look, before laughing.

"Why yes, my fair lady, just yonder!" Adrien says, laughing and pointing inside.

"Thank you, my good man!"

He laughs, and starts to walk toward the building, motioning to follow.

"Remember, if anyone asks, we don't know each other!" He reminds you.

"I know, I know. But however should I pretend to have forgotten a face as cute as yours?"

He blushes, before saying, "The same way I'll pretend to have forgotten your beauty!"

You look down, feeling your face get hotter, and he laughs.

By now you've reached the doorway, and he pushes it open, nodding for you to go ahead.

You do, and look around at all the students rushing about, and just taking in how large it is.

"Ok, so the Purrincipal, as you said, is down this hall, big wooden door." Adrien directs.

"You're not escorting me?" You tease.

"Alas, I must not. People might get suspicious."

"I guess. Will we have the same schedule?"

"Probably. Considering I'm supposed to be your guide and all."

"Yet here you are, not guiding me. Shirking your duties."

"I'm not supposed to know you, yet!"

"I know, I'm just kidding." You say, laughing.

"You're being rude. Go to the principal's office!" He says, pointing down the hall.

"Fiinee!" You say childishly, and start in the direction Adrien said.

When you find the big wooden door, you knock, and are quickly answer with a "Come in.".

You do as told, and open the door to find a strangely birdlike man sitting behind a desk.

"Um, hi, I'm y/n? For the homeschool program?"

"Ah, yes! I am Principal Damocles, and this is your school issued tablet, which contains your schedule for the week, your first class today is Miss Bustier's literature. She will introduce you with your guide, one of our top students, who also was homeschooled." He says, handing you a tablet.

"Ok, thank you. Which direction is this class, exactly?" You ask.

"Up the stairs, first door you come to."

"Thank you."

"You are welcome. Now you better get on, so you're not late." He says, as the bell rings.

"Yes sir." You respond, and leave.

Quickly walking upstairs, you run into someone.

"Ah! Sorry!" You both say at the same time.

"That's ok." The other person says, and you look up.

"Hey!? What are you doing here?!" She asks.

"I'm the homeschooled exchange student. I assume they mentioned it?" You reply.

"Oh, right. Um, do you remember me?" She asks.

"Sure! Marinette, right?"

"Yep. And you're y/n?"

"Uh-huh. So is this Miss Bustier's literature?" You ask, gesturing to the door ahead.

"Yeah. It's my first class too. Come on." She says, and leads the way.

You follow, and she goes ahead to her seat.

"Hello, can I help you?" Asks the nice looking woman, who you assume is Miss Bustier.

"I'm the homeschool exchange student?" You say, for the third time this morning.

You hear at least two gasps, one sounding considerably more happy than the other.

"Oh, yes! You just sit right there in front, with Adrien. He will be your guide. He was homeschooled too." She says.

"Ok, thank you."

"You're welcome. Nino, would you mind moving next to Ivan? It's just for the week."

"That's cool, Miss." Nino, who was sitting with Adrien, says and gets up.

"Would you mind introducing yourself to the class?" Miss Bustier asks you.

"Uh, sure. I'm y/n l/n."

"Thank you, y/n. Go ahead and take your seat."

"Alright." You say, and go take the empty seat.

"Hello. I'm Adrien." He says, sticking his hand out to you.

"Hi. I'm y/n." You say, taking his hand.

He smiles, and holds on for just a moment longer than necessary.

You smile back, and retract your hand.

Placing your bag on the bench between you, so the teacher can't see, you put your hand behind it, and he subtly grabs it, and laces your fingers together.

"Ok class, take out your books. Y/n, here is you one." Miss Bustier says, and walks over with a spare book.

You quickly pull your hand away from Adrien's, and take it from her.

Trying to follow along, though it's different from what you've been doing, you take notes, and listen, but also pass letters every now and them with Adrien.

But he started it, with a compliment on your acting, so of course you had to return it.

When that class is over, you barely have time to gather your things, before the girl who was in the desk behind is right at your side.

"Hi!! Remember me? I'm Alya!" She says enthusiastically.

"I remember. Hey." You say.

"So what do you think so far?"
