Marc did not have anyone in particular on his mind.  None at all.  So, why was it when the new girl, Stephanie came to town, he found himself all flustered?   It is not as if he knew that much about her anyway.   It was just a silly crush, right?

            Stephanie sat on the stairway to the museum.  She took a look around her.  The birds let out a nice cherp, the sun shone, and the trees branches blew in the wind.  She got up and went inside the building.  She thought for a moment it would be nice to explore the place.  She had heard all sorts of tales about it.  She often thought that perhaps the stories were true.

           Marc saw Stephanie enter the history museum.  He took a chance and followed her in this huge structure before him.  Once inside, he  begin to look at one exhibit after another.

         At some point, he felt his head bump into something, correction into someone.   He heard a moan come from the other person and took a look to see who had the misfortune to have run into him.  Marc gasped when he saw it was  her, the new girl in town, the girl  of his daydreams.  Though he yet to properly introduce himself.

       "Oh, I am s-so sorry,M-Miss,  I did not watch were I walked."  Marc says.

      "It is okay, I should pay better attention to where I walk anyway,"  Stephanie says.

     "What brings you here to the museum?"  Stephanie ask.

     Marc thinks, what should I tell her?   I can not say   I came here just because she is here because then she might think I am just a creepy stalker, but if I say nothing then what she think?  He struggles with what to say in response to her question.  He feels like their is a bit of a lump in the back of his throat which is plain silly as he is not sick anyway.  He looks at his crush, shrugs his shoulders and says,  "I  thought it would be cool to take a closer look at the history exhibits because they interest me."   

       "Haha, that totally makes sense.  I just came here because I was bored and wanted to see what kinds of things I might find here."   Stephanie says.

       "Oh, did you know this is the very place that Ladybug and Chat Noir had to come to help rescue Alya Cesaire from the very clutches of the super villain,  The Pharaoh?"   Marc ask.    

      "Well, I have heard stories about such things, but I was not sure if it really took place like I thought or if  it was just a tale made up by parents to scare their children at night." Stephanie says.

     "Oh, it is definitely real.  It is a real as you and me.  It is as real as the fact Ladybug and Chat had to rescue me once."  Marc says.

     "Really, how did a nice guy like you become a villain?"   Stephanie ask.

    "Well, I  wrote this script for a Ladybug comic and felt embarrassed about it.   Marinette offered to help me to be a comic writer and said she had a friend of hers that was great at artwork, but horrible with script ideas."   Marc says.

     "Well, what happened after this?"  Stephanie ask.  She clearly wants to know all about it.

     "After this she spoke to him and he was furious when he found out I was not Ladybug, he accused me of  making fun of him, which I was not.  He tore my script to shreds.  I was so upset I became a villain called The Reverser.    Anyway, Ladybug and Chat along with the help from their friends, Nathaniel and Alix saved me.  Then, after this Nathaniel apologized for what he had done.  Ever since then we have worked on comic books together.  Nathaniel does the drawings, and I write the words to go with his drawings.   Plus, everyone in art class is so cool!  "   Marc says.

      "Wow, that is sounds like you really enjoy Paris, then !   Am I right?"  Stephanie says.

    "Yes, I really do love it here."  Marc says.

    "It sure was nice to meet you.  By the way what is your name?"  Stephanie ask.

    "I am Marc  Anciel."  Marc says.

   "Wow, it is nice to meet you then, Marc!   I am Stephanie Young."  Stephanie says.

    "Stephanie, what a lovely name!"  Marc remarks.

    "Awe, thank you!  I  like your name too."  Stephanie says.

    "Oh, I have to go now.  My room mate at the dorm will wonder where I wondered off to if I do not get back soon."  Stephanie says.

   "Okay, well it was nice to meet you!"  Marc says.

   "It was nice to meet you too, Marc!"  Stephanie says.  She slips a piece of paper into the pocket of his jeans and gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.

   "See you around, Marc!"  Stephanie says.

  "Y-Yeah, s-see you, St-Stephanie!"  Marc says. He blushes.

     Stephanie laughs as she walks back to her college dorm room.  She thinks, wow!  Paris is better than I ever imagined it to be, and to think I even made a new friend today.   She smiles at the thought.  She thinks, he is not only a friend, but he is cute too.

    Marc heads back to his place deep in thought.  He was so caught up in his thoughts that he did not seem to notice his dorm mate was not back inside the boys dorm room just yet.  He sat down on his chair and worked on homework.  Then, he  day dreamed about the girl he only  just met today.  He thought, she is really something, isn't  she?

    Marc's  POV:  I  meet the new girl today.   It was about time as I have had a crush on her ever since I first saw here in town a few weeks ago.   I admit that Stephanie is one nice girl  !  She has these dimples that seem to sparkle when she talks to you.  She did not even seem to mind when we accidentally bumped heads either.  She sure was fun to talk too.   She gave me a kiss on the cheek, but to me it might as well have been anywhere with how my  face felt hot at her very touch.  She did not seem to notice.  She just went on her way.

  Marc's  POV:  I felt something fall out of my pocket onto the floor in my dorm room.  What could it be?  I do not remember having put anything inside it today.  I reach down to pick it up off the floor and see it has Stephanie's name on it along with her address, email address, and her phone number on it.   This could only mean one thing, she likes me!  She really likes me!

  Stephanie's  POV:  Marc is so cute!  I wonder if he notices the note I left for him, yet?   Maybe he has already seen it and is not sure what to think about it all.   Then, again with boys it is hard to be sure what he thinks, really.   I do know that I sure am glad he ran into me at the museum earlier today otherwise we might not have met.  This sure would have been a shame too, as he was fun to talk too.  It was easier to carry on  a conversation with him than it was with anyone else lately.  This guy really seems to understand me.   Does this mean he likes me too?   I suppose I should not get my hopes up, so fast.  I mean we did only just meet today by chance anyway.
