The drive to Chloe's house seemed like it was taking forever. We were getting near to 20 minutes on the road and even my legs started getting a little numb. Where was he taking me?

     "We're almost there.." Adrien started going a lot faster on a lone road in big forest lined with tall trees. I started feeling a little creeped, this view seemed like one in a horror slasher movie, I clung onto his back a little tighter.

     He began slowing down a slight bit. "You'll see it in.. Three.. Two.."

     "Holy crap!" I yelled in astonishment at the humongous house I caught sight of.

     "I know! Crazy right?"

     "You all call that a house!? Does anyone live in a normal house here?" I laughed, with my mouth still gaped.

     "You don't know anyone with prison homes back in Florida?" He chuckled

     Chloe's villa was humongous. The building was a dark shade of brown, seemingly made out of wood. It was almost four stories and stretched out. There were two pillars holding a canopy roof the size of a tennis court, covering many other vespas lined outside.

     Adrien swerved slowly past a large water fountain to put his Vespas next to the many others. I suddenly felt like an outcast again. What would they all think of me? After all.. I'm just clumsy old american Marinette Cheng. Maybe hanging out in Ninos basement with him and Alya was more of my style.

     "You alright?" Adrien asked grabbing my shoulder as I felt slight chills.

     I gave him a fake smile which could probably be looked past quickly, then followed him through a valley of statues which featured naked goddesses. We then finally got to the door which was huge too. I was about 1 minute from a panic attack.

     This was all so new to me.

     "You sure you're okay?"

     "I'm okay..  How many people live here anyways?" I asked while trying to revert his attention from me.

     "Three." Adrien held up three fingers. "Chloe, her dad, and sometimes her mom when she's back from New York. Chloe has told me theres rooms she's never even been inside of and her and her dad go days without coming in contact with each other, sometimes even getting herself lost. They even have their own intercom system."

     "No way." I gasped.

     "Way, way. Not many people have met Mr Bourgeois and theirs even rumors that he doesn't exist. Also, according to Chloe, the place is badly haunted. Chloe always runs into her great great grandmas ghost when coming down the stairs." He  chuckled as he rang a doorbell and a loud ring was heard.

     "Do you believe in ghost?"

     "I've never actually gave it any thought.." Adrien shrugged.

     Ghost had never really made sense to me.. When my mom was gone, she was just gone. I'd give anything to make that different.

     Suddenly a loud banging noise made me shriek. I stumbled back and Adrien caught me.
"Haha.. Relax, the door just makes a lot of noice when being unlocked.."

     Suddenly the door came flying and as I was expecting a ghost of someones great great grandmother but instead, there was a petite skinny blonde girl with her hair pulled back, sunglasses sitting on her head. She was dressed fairly casual, to my surprise.

     "Adrikins! Où étais-tu! Tu m'as manqué!" She threw her hands over Adrien's neck, placing a big kiss on his cheek and she began making smooching noises, she probably didn't see me standing there, was this his girlfriend?

     "Bonjour Chlo, Tu m'as manqué aussi." Adrien took a step away and grabbed me softly, pulling me towards them. "Guess who this is?"

    Chloe switched to english as soon as Adrien did. "Who? I need to know!" She gave a cheeky smile.

     "Marinette."

     Her mouth began gaping in an unexpected manor, she was probably surprised to hear that the 'legend' was true.

     "Yeah.. But I just go by Mari." I sheepishly smiled as I fidgeted with my hands.

"Wow! I can't believe it! It's very nice to meet you Mari." Chloe bubbled in a heavy french accent. "Now come on!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me inside.

Her foyer was large and dark, paintings lined the walls and there was a art wall covered in what seemed to be a bunch of french nobles.
"Your house is very.."

"Spooky, scary? I've heard it all." Chloe smirked, linking her arm with mine, "Now we must hurry, there is a lot of people who can't wait to see you."

     I looked back and Adrien gave me a gentle smile. I felt my stomach sink even more, how did he have suck an effect on me?

"Does Kagami know about her Adrien?" Chloe smirked, keeping the link on our arms. I slightly remembered the name from when his mom mentioned her.

     Adrien kept quiet for a few seconds, which Chloe took as a no.

     "You two timer." Chloe laughed jokingly, looking forward again, giving me a teasing wink, I felt myself flush.

     "No.. It's not like that. Marinette is just a friend." He finally answered, giving me a big smile

     Of course..

We made it to the end of what seemed to be the main hallway and entered through two double doors. Instead of seeing a torture chamber I saw a modern looking room, long leather couches, flat screen tv, and a pool table.

Oh.. Don't forget, about 20 people who were staring at me as though I was Chloe's great great grandma.

I swallowed, and gave a small wave to everyone, feeling myself start sweating from the attention.

Chloe grabbed my hand and raised it up into the air. "Marinette Dupain-Cheng, she exists!"

A large cheer began erupting in the room and people began crowding, which made me even more nervous.

"Wow you really made it!" A tall guy in a skull shirt pats my shoulder. "My names Ivan."

"I won the bet, people said you'd never show up!"

"At least you showed up!"

"What a pleasant surprise!"

     "I'm Rose!"

     "Max."

     "Marc!"

     Most of them began patting me or giving me a weird combination of a group hug and a regular hug.

     "Nice to finally get to meet all of you." I stumbled back a little, overwhelmed by the crowd.

     I bumped into someone while backing up and he held onto my shoulders, I was slightly confused as to who it was.

     "You're all making her feel uncomfortable, give the girl some space!" Adrien yelled as everyone calmed down. "You're acting as though you never meet new people."

     "Its cause we don't." Marc replied, and everyone began to start shooting questions at me.

     "When did you get here?"

      "How long have you been here?"

     "Where are you from?"

     I began backing up into Adrien a little more. "Um.. One question at a time?" Everyone began laughing

     "Where do you stay at?" A girl with short blonde pixie hair asked, holding a lollipop.
"I live close to Adrien."

     "She lives at the bakery by the park." Adrien responded, giving me a pat. What was with him and physical contact?

     "Way to make me to weirdo." I muttered to him as he laughed.

     "Like you, me, and Chloe, everyone here lives in places considered different." Adrien reassured me.

     "I live in a cemetery." Someone yelled out.

     "I live on a boat with my family!"

     "We live in a medieval castle."

     "pardonnez-nous, you probably think we are all weird and crazy, sorry for the questions." The guy in the skull shirt laughed.

     "Its okay." I shrugged off, giving them all a reassuring smile.

     "Don't lie Ivan, we're pretty weird, we just don't meet a lot of new people so we're totally sick of each each other." A girl with rainbow dreads shrugged.

     As soon as I could say anything, arms reached around me and i was pulled up into the arm on someones chest, I yelped in surprise.

     "Kim, down!" Adrien yelled waving his hands around.

     "Heel!" The lollipop girl squealed.

     Was Kim a dog? I finally wiggled out of his arms and turned around to see a tall bulky guy in a red sweatshirt.

     "Mari.. This is Kim. You might want to forget you've met him now!"

     Kim gave a big grin "Hah! I knew you'd show up!" He yelled in triumph.

"Wait a minute! Are you my chemistry partner?!"

"Yes!" He pumped his fist in the air, then put his arms around me again and gave me another one of his specialty suffocating hugs.

"I.. Can't. Breath.." I wigged in his grip again.

"Let her go." Adrien rolled his eyes but gave us a small smile.

Kim let go of his grip, shaking his head sheepishly. "Sorry, i'm usually not like this."

"Yes, you are," the rainbow dreads girl said.

"No, it's this beer." He held his can out to me. "I don't know who brought it, but it's disgusting. It tastes kind of like a urinal, you know?"

"No.. Not really." I chuckled a little at his behavior, the way Kim acted sort of reminded me of Nino back at home.

"Well thats fine or whatever. You know i'd offer you one but it tastes like piss and you probably wouldn't like it and oh by the way you are really cute! Way cuter than I thought you would be haha." Kim slurred holding up the can.

"Uh... Thanks, I guess." I gave an uncomfortable smile.

"Come here Marco! Whose your papa!" He yelled and ran off. I laughed to myself and turned around to Adrien, which was a bad idea because there was barely a foot in between us.

I felt myself flush and stepped back a few times, smiling sheepishly, he didn't notice anything though.

Adrien sighed. "Sorry about that, i'd like to say it was because he was drunk but even when he's sober he's still much more wilder."

"Much, much, wilder." Max said as he walked past us.
