Prologue: Adrien Takes Notice of the Newcomers

              As a moving van pulls out in front of the old bakery in Paris, France, Adrien Agreste looks on in amazement. He wonders who could want to move into such a place. He knows it has a small apartment above the bakery area. He shakes his head and thinks maybe it is so boring old couple here for an excuse for early retirement.  He is about to walk away when he sees a man unload some furniture from the van.  He decides to stand behind a tree to see what happens next. He sees the man take in a couch, a chair, some fluffy pillows, a lampstand, a lamp, a kitchen table, and chairs, and a bookshelf.  He thinks for a single person he has lots of stuff.

      Adrien looks on as a blue Volvo pulls into the driveway of the same place. He sees a well-dressed lady get out of the car. He watches in amazement as she kisses the man. He sighs in dismay and wishes they had a kid for him to baby-sit, or a kid his own age to hang out with sometimes. He glances at his watch and sees he still has thirty minutes to spare before his photoshoot.   He hears some cries come from the car. He wonders who else is there. 

   Perhaps, it is just a dog or a shy child. He sighs.  He hears the lady  say, "Come out of the car, right now young lady!"  He laughs when a teenage girl with dark blue hair held back in pigtails ad the prettiest bluebell eyes he has ever seen exits the car. He can see she wears pink Capri's, a white top with flowers and the letter M on it, along with a gray jacket. He takes a  notice the purse she holds with polka dots on it has the same letter M across it.  He sees her shoes are flat, pink ballet shoes.

  He watches as she gets her luggage out of the vehicle. The whole time he wonders why a pretty girl should be so upset. 

  

      Marinette takes a look around her and sighs. She feels nervous because it is her first year in a new country, a new home, and a new school away from all her friends. She is also shy since she does not know anyone. She puts on a fake smile and uses a handkerchief to wipe away her tears as she carries in her pink backpack, and all her luggage. 

  "Sweetheart, do you think it was a mistake to sell our previous home and move here?  Marinette seems upset and.." Sabine says.

"Darling, everything will be fine, it may take her a while to adjust, but I am sure she will be okay,"  Tom says.

     Adrien can not overhear anything from where he stands. He sees the girl enter the bakery and hears the door slam behind her.  He sighs and thinks the new girl is rather pretty, no beautiful. He feels like his heart beats fast because even though he might not realize it yet he has a crush on this girl who just came here from China. He wishes he did not have a photoshoot today.

  He smiles when the girl comes back outside. He continues to stare at her from afar as she stands on her balcony.  He turns away as the girl looks in his direction and hopes she did not see him. He runs off to the photoshoot in wonder of what the school year has in store for him this time.

  To admit a crush on her is just crazy!  He is a model, and she is a poor girl. An attractive one, but who she is definitely not his type.  He smiles as he poses for the camera with the newbie on his mind.
