Light streamed through the curtains of Marinette's room. The warm summer breeze made it's way through her apartment. Marinette tuned in her sleep not wanting to awaken from her peaceful sleep. But alas she must, for today was the first day of her last year of high school. Today's the day everything changes.

"Wakey, wakey!" an English accent woke her up. "Morning sunshine!" A girl with many shades of blue hair was standing over her bed looking down at her. "Time to get up and eat Marinette"

"Lizzie" Marinette moaned as she rubbed her eyes.

"Come, Alya is eating. I made a full English breakfast!" The girl giggled. Lizzie was an English student who transferred over to France to study fashion under watch of Gabriel Agreste. He had selected 20 students from all over the world to study under his eye, Lizzie and Marinette were two of these lucky designers.

"Really?!" Marinette's eyes sparkled. She leaped out of bed and ran into their kitchen. The three girls shared an apartment not far from the school they all went to.

"Morning sleepy head" Alya grinned.

"Good morning" Marinette mumbled with a mouth full of food that Lizzie had prepared.

"So rude" Lizzie scolded.

'Hey, you're English aren't they all polite?" Alya chuckled and Lizzie rolled her eyes.

"I've told you before and I'll tell you again, most British people are rude and boys are not gentlemen!" Lizzie groaned.

"You have Chris though?" Marinette grinned making the poor girl blush. "Anyway, are you guys looking forward to our last year?"

"I am but I'm not at the same time" Lizzie sighed. Marinette and Alya looked at each other realising after this year if Gabriel doesn't choose her to work with him she'll have to go home.

"You'll get chosen!" Marinette grinned.

"Mmm…" Lizzie wasn't the best person for self-confidence. She always doubted herself.

"Come, let's get going. Don't want to be late on our first day" Alya grinned. Get dress Marinette"

"Yes Mum" Marinette muttered as she walked into her room to get dressed.

"Do you reckon Adrien will come back this year?" Lizzie asked as she cleared away the breakfast plates.

"Nino hasn't told me yet. I'm hoping his Dad will let him study Physics again not only for his sake but Marinette hasn't seen him in over a year now and I'm a little worried about her" Alya sighed.

"Let's go!" Marinette smiled walking out of her room. The three girls left for their short walk to the school. Even though Alya studied a different subject to them – Journalism - they were still as close as ever. Most friendship groups only consisted of who was in their class but these girls didn't believe that.

"Morning dude!" Nino waved.

"Nino!" Alya grinned kissing her boyfriend quickly on the lips.

"Oh Marinette, are you free after school today?" Nino asked with a smile on his face.

"Yeah… Why?" Marinette asked raising her eyebrows at the boy.

"Nothing special just thought it would be nice to go out for ice cream or something as a group after school" Nino smiled.

"Sounds like an amazing idea Nino!" A male voice broke though.

"Chris!" Lizzie giggled. Chris was also an English transfer to study Mathematics. The real reason he moved was so Lizzie wasn't left on her own.

"Hey Lizzie" Chris winked making the girl blush ever so slightly. "But I do really like that idea Nino"

"Well, Marinette and I are going to have to love you and leave you. We don't want to be late!" Lizzie giggled making Chris' cheeks go slightly pink before they left.

"When you going to ask her dude?" Nino grinned.

"I don't know what you are going on about" Chris denied before walking off.

Lizzie and Marinette walked into the studio where their class was held. Both sat at the same table at the back. They loved sitting there. They were then the closest to the manikins so could always get the best ones.

"Good morning you two" a guy with messy black hair came strolling over.

"Calvin" Lizzie muttered.

"Hope your designs are better than last years" Calvin grinned. "Then again you'll just make horrible designs again"

"Shut up" Marinette said though her teeth.

"Oh have I hit a nerve? Oh well" He snarled.

"Go sit down on your own table" Lizzie said. "Maybe we can get along this year?" she asked hopefully.

"As if" Calvin laughed as he walked off.

"I don't know why you bother Lizzie" Marinette sighed.

"Can't say I tried now" Lizzie shrugged.

"Class settle down" their teacher clapped her hands. They were taught by Madame Dubois; she had worked along side Mister Agreste for many years and worked for him as the teacher of his class. Every so often he would come in to see their work but only after hours. He made it very clear that he wants no interaction with his students until their end of year shows.

"Now, as it is your last year here Mr Gabriel Agreste has chosen your themes for the year. By the end of the year you are expected to create four different fashion collections.

"I hope they are good themes!" Lizzie whispered and Marinette nodded. They both wanted to be able to be inspirited.

"I'm passing out a sheet of each theme. There will be six written down but you must only chose four to use." Madame Dubois walked around handing out booklets with the six themes insides them.

Marinette opened the booklet and read through the themes they were given. "Street Style, Weird and Wonderful, Night and Stars, Fairy Tale, Obsession and Solitude" Marinette read.

"Not bad" Lizzie giggled. "We should be able to make some fabulous designs with these themes"

"Agreed" Marinette smiled down at the booklet that was sitting in front of her.

"You should all be aware of how to manage your time so by the end of year show you should have four collections." Madame said as she wrote a date of the white board. "26th of May is the date of the fashion show"

"That's ages away" Calvin chuckled.

""It may seem like a long way away but to make four collections it's just enough time" Madame snapped at the boy. "Now, for each collection Mr Agreste expects no less than five garment pieces. NO LESS than five. Doesn't everyone understand?"

"Yes Madame" The class of 20 said in unison.

"Good. Now don't waste time start designing. With the project I will not be able to tell you where you need to improve but I will be telling you IF your designs are NOT up to standard" Madame said.

"Let's not waste any time." Marinette giggled giving her friend a warm smile. Lizzie nodded as she pulled out her cute little design book. Marinette always thought it was cute because no matter what it looked like it meant something to Lizzie. Chris would buy her a set at the beginning of every year for her.

I'd so love for Adrien to do things like that… I haven't seen him in a while…

"What themes are you going to choose?" Lizzie's voice broke though her thoughts.

"I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" Marinette blushed with embarrassment.

"You were thinking about Adrien again weren't you?" Lizzie asked and Marinette nodded. "Knew it." she giggled. "I asked, what themes are you going to choose?"

"Oh… Street Style, Weird and Wonderful, Night and Stars and Fairy Tale. What about you?" Marinette had written those themes down in her design book so she didn't confuse herself.

"Street Style, Night and Stars, Obsession and Solitude. I think they will be interesting to work with." Lizzie giggled.

"Agreed." Marinette smiled. The bell rang and it was time for lunch Lizzie placed her pencil down and placed her design books and everything that was on her side of the table in the drawer underneath.

"Ready for lunch?" She asked.

"Let me just pack up" Marinette said as she too packed up her things. The two girls walked out of their studio and into the open college. "Let me text Alya."

"Help!"

"Marinette! Let's go hide somewhere!" Lizzie shouted.

"I'll be right there!" Marinette ran off round a corner and made sure no one was looking. "Tikki, spots on!"

Ladybug jumped up and looked down into the school. She couldn't see what was causing all the fuss at first. "M'Lady" Chat purred.

"Kitty, why are you always late?" Ladybug smiled.

"Sorry Ladybug" Chat chuckled. "Now what seems to be the problem?"

"No sure just yet" Ladybug said shaking her head. "This isn't normal… We normally see the akumatized victim by now"

"This is strange" Chat mumbled but as soon as he did a man flew up into the air.

"I am the ANIMATOR. YOU WILL ALL BECOME MY DRAWINGS"

"Bingo" Chat grinned.

"Ah Ladybug and Chat Noir" the girl grinned. "I'll turn you into anime characters then I'll take your miraculouses!"

"Try" Ladybug grinned. "Chat, I think the akuma is in her art book" she pointed at the book the girl was clenching onto.

After a long fight Chat jumped onto the girl making her drop the book. Ladybug picked it up and ripped it in half, setting the little akuma free. "Time to de-evilize!" Ladybug swung her yo-yo and caught the akuma. "Bye bye little butterfly" Ladybug smiled setting the butterfly free. "Miraculous Ladybug!" she shouted as she threw a rubber into the air and everything turned to normal.

"Pound it" Ladybug and Char Noir fist pumped.

"Wh-what am I?" the girl stuttered.

"Run back to class, lunch as almost ended" Ladybug smiled as the girl ran off.

"How did you know that? Do you attended this school?!" Chat asked.

"Oh… Maybe" Ladybug blushed. "Well I should go" Ladybug jumped away and detransformed in the female toilets.

"Come on Tikki, lunch is over" Marinette walked into the studio to find a worried Lizzie.

"Marinette! I was so worried!" Lizzie said.

"I'm fine! I got swept away with a crowd of people to hide" Marinette giggle at her friend. "Let's get to work"

After two hours after solid drawing it was the end of the school day. The girls packed up and walked out to the main entrance to meet Alya, Nino and Chris.

"Shall we get going?" Nino asked.

"Sure!" the girls giggled and Chris nodded.

The group walked to an ice-cream pallor not to far from the school. The group sat down in a booth and Marinette couldn't help noticing Nino kept on looking at his phone.

"Nino, is something wrong?" Marinette asked.

"Ugh… NO. But I'll be right back. I have a surprise for you" Nino got up quickly and walked out of the shop.

"Do you know what he his going on about?" Marinette asked Alya but she only shrugged.

The group ignored Nino's outburst and continued as normal. Marinette and Alya just watch Lizzie and Chris painfully flirt. They both looked at each other as if to so 'when will they get together?!'

"Marinette" a familiar voice spoke. A blush formed over Marinette's face. She was hoping it was who she thought it was. The boy she fell for when they were 15. The boy she hadn't seen in over a year.

"A-Adrien?!" Marinette couldn't believe it. She looked up at the gorgeous green-eyed blonde boy standing before her.

"Hey Mari. Long time no see" Adrien smiled, making Marinette's heart race so much she was sure he could hear it. "I have some news… I'm coming back to school"
