New Face
So I had the weirdest dream about the reveal for Miraculous, it's hard to explain and very long so if you're interested in hearing it I'll post it in the comments, For my Wattpad users it's on my profile so go see it there, but for my Fanfiction.net users you can PM me. If you want to hear it.

Back at the restaurant again, it's my day off, but I really wanted to see my new friends. It's still raining so once again it's been pretty slow, we spent most of the time chatting and giving our life storie and whenever customers entered I'd sit over at my table in the corner and continue reading my book from the local library.
A glass is set down in front of me and I looked at it confused. "I didn't order anything."
"I know." Alya continues to pour my drink.
"I don't have any money on me."
"Girl don't even worry about it, it's fine. We're slow today anyway, might as well give me something to do. I'm gonna go get you your usual." She winks and I giggle. Out of everyone here I tend to talk to Alya the most, we've really have become very good friends.
"Thanks Alya." I take a sip from my straw and continue to read my book. The door jingles, meaning someone has entered the restaurant, but I don't look up at them, instead I simply just flip the page.
"What can I get for you sir?" I hear Rose say to the customer.
"Just a water please?" I nearly gasped and looked up at the man who entered the restaurant. Just as I expected it was the same blonde from yesterday that I had crashed into on the way home.
He looks over in my direction and I immediately look at my book and raise it towards my face hoping he doesn't see me or recognize me. I'm not sure why I'm so nervous all of a sudden, it's not like I know the guy so why should I care. Still, the embarrassment from yesterday and the harshness of his tone is still fresh in my mind. As long as I continue to sit here reading my book, he'll go away eventually.....or so I thought.
"Um....hello?" I tensed and nearly squeaked realizing that he was standing right in front of my table. "Is this seat taken?" He gestured to the seat across from me.
I blinked looking at the seat and back up to him. He was smiling at me, a smile that was very inviting and I felt like my heart would jump oyt of my chest if I stared for too long. However, I can still feel the frustration from yesterday still looming within me.
"No....you can take it." I closed my book and stood up from my chair.
"Where are you going?" He asked.
"To sit somewhere else."
"You don't have to move, you can stay here." He sounded nervous, it was almost like he wasn't sure that he wanted to talk to me right now.
"Well, I feel like I might piss you off if I stay here, so I'll just save us both the trouble and sit elsewhere." I turned away.
"W..Wait please!" He grabbed my wrist keeping me in place, it wasn't rough, but it was enough to keep me where I was. I looked back at him, then at the hand on my wrist. He quickly released me after that. "I..I'm sorry, I just um....I'm sorry..."
He looked at the ground sadden, it didn't seem like he would try to stop me again if I attempted to leave, but for some reason I couldn't. Something about him made me feel drawn to him, similar to the feeling from yesterday.
"I'm sorry." He apologized once again. "For yesterday as well, I shouldn't have yelled at you the way I did. I was....I was having a bad day, we just didn't meet under the best circumstances. If...you don't completely hate me for it, do you think there's a chance we could start over?"
There they were again, those eyes of his that shined beautifully, it also made it impossible for me to say no in anyway I could, if I wanted to, but I don't want to honestly. I mean everyone has there bad days, I think a second chance is fine.
I smiled, "Sure, that's fine with me."
"My name's Adrien." His smile brightened and he was suddenly eager. "What's your name?"
"I'm Marinette."
"Marinette..." He repeats, "That's really pretty."
I can feel myself blushing at his compliment. "Th...Thank you."
We sat back down at the table and sat in an awkward silence for a few minutes. I wondered if he would say anything or if I should just go back to reading my book. Not to mention, my friends were now staring us down from the kitchen window. Something tells me I'm going to be hearing about this little moment for the next couple of weeks.
I noticed that Adrien looked uncomfortable the moment we sat down which made me wonder why he was so insistent with us sitting together. Some would say he might have an interest in me, but I never want to assume in case he's just trying to make up for how he acted yesterday. Besides I don't know the guy at all and even if I did, I have too much going on to even consider a relationship.
"So...are you new in town?" He finally spoke and offered me a smile, which made me blush once again.
"Yeah, I've been here for a couple of weeks." I answered. "How about you?"
"About a month, I come here to visit some friends, but I don't usually stay as long as I am now." He took a sip from his cup.
This made me curious. "What made you stay longer?"
He looked up at me, and for a moment there was this unreadable expression in his eyes. It looked almost as if he wanted something.
"Let's just say something came up that convinced me to stay longer." He responded and I decided not to push the subject further. He was about to say something else until the door to the restaurant slammed open.
"Yo Alya!" Alix stomped her way inside. "Those stupid hunters are back gluing those wolf posters to the wall again!"
"Ugh! Seriously, I told them punks to take that nonsense somewhere else!" Alya groaned frustrated and charged out the door most likely to give the hunters a peace of her mind.
"They must really want to catch that creature. I thought it was just a rumor, but this whole wolf fiasco has been going on for almost a month now." Mylene said slightly scared.
"I think they should leave the poor thing alone." Rose said. "He hasn't hurt anyone, so why the fuss with trying to capture him."
"I think so too, although you have to admit a giant wolf sounds pretty rad." Juleka agree.
I'm guessing more people are becoming paranoid about this "giant wolf" that's been hanging around. I wonder if Adrien knows anything about it. When I turned to ask him, I noticed his face looked pale and he looked sick.
"Adrien? Are you okay?" I asked worried.
"Ye...actually no, I'm sorry, but I have to go." He quickly jumped from his chair and rushed out of the restaurant, leaving me to wonder what just happened.
When I went home later that day, I told my grandma about Adrien who was the same boy I ran into yesterday and that he apologized for the incident.
"See I told you that boy would come around." She said smiling. "Was he cute?"
"I guess, what does that have to do anything?" I asked.
"I just want to make sure any potential suitors will be able to give me adorable great-grandchildren."
"Really Grandma?! I just met the guy!" I shouted embarrassed, "Besides, I doubt he's interested, he left in a huge hurry. One minute we were having a nice conversation and the next he practically ran out of the restaurant."
"Did you say anything for him to react that way?" She asked.
"No, he seemed fine with our conversation. It wasn't until people began talking about that 'wolf' thats been prancing around, that he started to look uncomfortable."
"Well of course, he would react that way! That wolf rumors got everyone here acting crazy, I'd want to stay far away from that nonsense as possible too."
I sighed, "I guess you're right."
For the remainder of the night, I couldn't get Adrien out of my head. I wondered just what about the 'wolf' made him so nervous to react the way he did today?
