First Day of School

Adrien's POV

The first day of my sophomore year in high school, I can't wait to see everyone again. I may have gotten to hang out with my friends over the summer, but I still miss seeing them 5 days a week for 8 hours. As I finally decide to leave the comfort of my sweet bed, whispering my apology and promising to return, I hear my mother call me down for breakfast.

"Hey honey, how did you sleep?" She asks me as I descend from the stairway and enter the dining room.

"Wonderfully, until that device from hell decided to give its monstrous shriek." I grumble angrily. My mother laughs at my description of my alarm clock, when my father enters in, still in his pajamas with disheveled hair. "Morning father, how did you sleep?" I ask him. He looks at me and just mumbles, "about the same as you."

"Well my sleepy men, breakfast is ready and is gonna get cold soon. And you both still need to get ready for the day if you wanna make it on time." My mother tells us. While we eat we make small talk about what we have going on for the day. As I am finishing my breakfast, my mother turns to me and says, "Oh, by the way Adrien, tonight we are going to the Bourgeois New Years party." She says it in a way that lets me know there will be no argument on that front.

"Yes ma'am." I say with a groan in my voice, as I can already imagine Chloe trying to force herself on me at midnight. I lay my head on the table, wishing for something to strike me down so I don't have to go tonight.

"I know how you feel about Chloe, the good news is that we will be leaving 30 minutes before midnight, and you can bring any friend you want." My mother informs me, making me lift my head off of the table, and look at her.

"Really, I can bring Nino." I give my mom and dad puppy dog eyes, hoping they aren't lying to me.

"Of course son." My dad replies, "He is a good friend of yours and we will also tell Gorilla to stay with you two and if Chloe becomes too much, just tell him."

"Ok, since we have finished breakfast, you two need to go get ready, I'll help the staff clean up and then I'll go get ready." My mother tells us. I head up to my room and decide I wanna switch up my style from last year. So I put on a dark grey t-shirt with a black jean jacket, black jean pants with holes in the knees, and combat boots. I also put on my dark grey beanie to tie it all together. I grab my shoulder bag and leave my room. I run into Gorilla on my way to the limo.

"What's up, Gorilla?" I ask him as I pass by.

"Nothing much, just have to drive this little kitten around." He says messing with my beanie. Effectively making me have to fix it. Once I'm done, I dramatically put my hand on my heart.

"Oh how you wound me, I will never come back from this." I say back with a smirk on my face. He rolls his eyes and we make quips back at each other the entire way to the limo.

***Time skip to his arrival at school***

"See ya, Gorilla!" I yell to him as I slam the limo door, excited to see all my friends. I walk up the stairs, keeping all of my senses at 100% to find all my friends and to make sure I don't run into a certain mayor's daughter.

"Yo! Adrien!" I hear from the courtyard, as I climb the last step. I look up and see it was Nino calling out to me, while talking to his crush, Alya.

"Hey Nino! Hey Alya!" I reply back as I run to where they are standing.

"Nice look dude! Deciding to shake things up a bit this year?" Nino asks me.

"Yeah, dad's finally ok with me not dressing like a perfect angel... after mom threatened to make him sleep on the couch for a month." I tell my friends.

"Yikes, poor Mr. Agreste. Anyways, I'm glad for you. By the way, remind me to never mess with your mom." Nino says to us. Causing Alya and me to laugh while he looks around, probably to make sure my mom wasn't anywhere in hearing range.

"You kidding Nino, I absolutely love Mrs.A, she's super nice and a total role model for any woman for how to make their man behave. And she's a mother to this crazy dude, works as a model, co-owner of a fashion empire, and still makes sure she has time to take care of anyone in need." Alya gushes. I awkwardly rub the back of my neck, it's always a bit weird when my friends talk about my parents like they're royal or something. Don't get me wrong they are loving and have never laid a hand on me or anyone else, and would happily take in someone in need. It's just weird having your home life be common knowledge to anyone.

"Anyway, Nino, I meant to ask you something, you got any plans tonight?" I ask him.

"Nope, free as a bird, what's up?" He responds.

"Wanna come with me to the Bourgeois New Years Party? Mom and Dad said I could invite you to come along." I inform him.

"Sure dude, let me ask my 'rents, but they shouldn't have a problem with it. You going Alya?" Nino asks.

"Yeah, my parents are the chefs for the Bourgeois Hotel so they're working it and the mayor allowed them to let me go." She replies. It's nice that all three of us are gonna be there, less likely that I'll be stuck around Chloe, for any longer than I have to be.

"I still can't believe my father let such trash come to the party, guess he just wants you to see what it would be like later in life when you will have to work such events, as a server." Chloe says as she appears out of nowhere. "Oh and hey Adrikins!!!! You wanna be my date to the party?!?!? Oh who am I kidding, we are guaranteed to be dates to the party anyway. Also what's with that ridiculous outfit you're wearing, you better change for the party, I can't be seen around such a grunge person" She starts clinging to me, but at the end starts trying to pick apart my clothing.

"Actually Chloe, I am going to be hanging out with Alya and Nino during the party because they are my friends. And Alya will never work for your fathers hotel, she's guaranteed to work somewhere far better, honestly I am sure my parents would love for her to be a photographer or personal reporter for our company to get a footing in the reporting world because she is an amazing person. And if you say ANYTHING else negative about any of my friends or classmates, I will personally see to it that your reputation to the media be ruined and you will never gain any traction with any company besides your fathers company. As for my clothing I'll have you know that this is my own personal style and I happen to like it a lot. And I cannot be seen with someone who is a b*tch to everyone unless they have a following, money, or want to become their personal slave!" I go off on her, gathering a bit more of a crowd than I wanted. After I finished, I grabbed Alya and Nino's hands and storm off to the classroom. As we leave I hear Chloe stomp off muttering under her breath.

"I'm sorry for forcing you guys to leave the courtyard I just couldn't stay near her for one more second. . . " I start to apologize, "Wait, Alya, why are you crying?" I ask her, scared she was mad at me for something I said.

"I've never had someone stand up for me before, especially not to someone like Chloe. Thank you Adrien. Did you mean what you said, about your parents letting me work for them?" She asked me, looking up at me with hope in her eyes.

"Of course, my parents love you Alya, and are always trying to help out in anyway they can. Plus, they asked me just the other night if I knew of anyone that would be a good personal reporter for the company. I of course suggested you, so keep an eye on your mail in the next couple days. And it was no problem Alya, you're like my sister, so of course I'll stand up for you from bullies like Chloe." I tell her. As I mentioned she's like a sister to me, she ran up to me and gave me a hug. Laughing and punching me in the shoulder as she pulls away.

"You jerk, why didn't you tell me about this sooner. I can't wait!!!" She starts fangirling about what it will be like to be a reporter.

"Uhh, dude I hate to break it to you, but you just threatened the mayor's daughter. I would be careful, I'm not sure even your parents can save you from her father if she tells him." Nino says to me as Alya is still lost to the world.

"Yeah, I know. I was hoping to forget about that part right now." I say as I shallowly laugh. After that everyone starts to enter the school and class begins.
