"Adrien, you made it." I heard a cold voice come closer, I turned my head and came face to face with a very pretty girl. She was a lot taller than me, almost reaching Adriens height, and she was very slim. She had short black hair with maybe hazel eyes. And she was looking right through me.

     "Hi Kagami, welcome back." Adrien smiled, his voice suddenly getting a lot deeper, I raised my brow at him in confusion.

     It took me about three seconds to realize this was Kagami, his crush, or girlfriend. Right in front of me. The girl his mom even knew about.

     "I was worried you weren't going to make it." Kagami stared at him, completely ignoring me, what a.. "Everyone has talked about you not being here a lot."

     "I'm here now." He gave her a loving smile, which made my stomach do a bunch of flip flops, and not the good kind.

     "Good.. I missed you." She gave him a smile of her own, I felt extremely uncomfortable, might I add annoyed, and shifted a little, catching her attention. "Who is this." She asked him, in a very emotionless matter.

"Marinette, she just moved here a few days ago." He simply stated.

     Was my luck with guys this bad?

"Hey, I go by Mari." I gave an awkward smile and wave, not fazing her even the tiniest bit.
She stared at me for a few more seconds before leaning into Adrien muttering something in his ear before giving him a small smile and walking away.

It almost seemed as if though everyone exhaled.

"Ice queen." I heard someone whisper.

"She's really pretty." I told Adrien, but was I lying?

"Really? I didn't notice." Adrien gave me a big grin, as though he has achieved a lifelong goal. I must have misread the hand holding incident at the 'prison' because if Kagami was the type of girl he liked, I was out of luck. "Hey come on, I want to show you something."

"Okay.. Well i'll see all of you around." I waved to everyone awkwardly.

"Bye bye." Someone replied.

I looked back to follow Adrien but he was already at the other side, I jogged to him before noticing that he was standing next to a door.

"It's a surprise. Follow me." He held his hand out, and I took it. No regrets? you know what I mean? I hope Kagami saw. Let me shut up.

Adrien led me out into a dark hall, closing the door behind us. I looked up and suddenly caught awareness of the huge staircase in front of me.

"Oh no are we gonna go meet Chloe's great great grandmother?" I joked to clean the awkward tension that was suddenly created.

"Not today, thats in the other wing, right now i'm going to show you the garden." Adrien began walking up the stairs as I stood in place.
I stared back at the door, creepy staircase and maybe a ghost encounter with Adrien? Or overly friendly french teenagers?

     I hurried up the stairs catching up to Adrien, we walked in comfortable silence up the remaining stairs, the only noise was our footsteps echoing off the ceiling. Once we reached the top he pushed open a skinny door.

     "This place is unbelievable." I muttered as I stared at the room packed of a bunch of different furniture, wrapped in dust covered plastic. There was even a fireplace in the room with a portrait of a serious looking man.

     Adrien gestured for me to come towards to connected glass doors. "Come over here." He gestured as he unlatched them. "I wanted to show you the gardens, but most importantly, I wanted to give you a small break from your adoring crowd."

     "Yeah, they all seemed over energetic about getting to meet me." I stated as I followed him onto the balcony.

     "A lot of us have been stuck together since elementary school, I guess you can say its a big deal when someone new comes around."

     "Hey, the hedges form a maze!" I leaned over the balcony, staring at the garden.

     "Yeah they have a gardener who spent like half his life working on this."

     "It looks as if though someone could really get lost in there." I lean back onto the railing holding my arms behind me.

"Kim once did, he wondered in there drunk and it took us like three hours to find him, an when we did, he was sleeping on his shoes."

"Why his shoes?"
Adrien shrugged.

"Want to hear something really creepy though?" He asked wiggling his eyebrows, I chuckled in return.

"Chloe's mom, Audrey, refuses to live here because ever since shes been little she's had this ancestor appear to her. The spooky part is that they would appear the same age Audrey was."

"No wonder she's in New York." I looked up at Adrien. "This place is making me feel a little better about living in a bakery."

"Telling ghost stories?" I heard an unknown voice say.

I practically jumped over the railing.

"Marinette! You almost tumbled over the railing!" Adrien chortled.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." A boy stood up from one on the wrapped couches.

"Hey Luka! Creeper much?"

"I had a headache, I was just trying to get away from the noise for at least a hour or so. Whose this?" He lazily made his way towards us in the dark and..

Oh my- I would finish that, but I seem to have forgotten most of my words, because, who looks like that?
Luka was tall and thin, he had black hair with blue tips, a strong jaw that i've only seen on instagram guy models but i've never actually seen. His lips too.. Which probably ruined any chance of me forming a sentence without a stutter.
