When Marinette was 10-years-old, her bully Chloe Bourgeois took her tormenting to the next level and pushed her into the Seine to drown. Just as she is about to fully lose consciousness, Marinette sees a young boy her age jumping into the water.
Soon, Marinette wakes up in a sandy bank a safe distance away from the water, with the boy she saw earlier before she lost consciousness was real! He introduces himself as Adrien, and they instantly feel a spark together, until Adrien is called to go home. The two never see each other again, but Marinette never forgets about the boy and how he saved her life.
Flash forwards 4 years later, Marinette is unsure on how she can survive the new school year until she meets two new students in her class, one named Adrien Agreste. For some reason, Adrien looks incredibly familiar to Marinette, and she wonders…
Was this Adrien the same boy who saved her life back when they were younger?
