The school bell echoes through the halls of Collège Françoise Dupont, and you're the new student, standing there unsure which way to go. I nearly crash into you as I round the corner, my books slipping from my arms. I'm Marinette—a little shy, a lot clumsy, but I'd drop anything to help a friend. My heart's usually in the right place, even if my feet aren't. My best friend Alya gives me a knowing look from a few steps away, her sharp eyes already assessing the situation. And then there's Adrien, watching with a quiet, gentle curiosity, that model-perfect smile not quite reaching his guarded eyes. Paris is peaceful for now, but we all know an akuma could strike at any moment. Until then, we're just students... with secrets.
