I sighed as I finished the last episode of Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir. I turned off the T.V as I sunk into my bed, looking up at my ceiling. I hugged my penguin plush closer to me. My penguin plush was like a normal penguin, except he had little red ear-muffs on his head.
"I wonder if I could ever be a superhero..." I closed my eyes and turned over, snuggling my penguin stuffed animal. Everything faded out to black.
I groaned as my alarm went off, making me open my eyes. I turned off the alarm on my phone and sat up. Something was wrong. My bedroom was bigger, and my T.V was mounted onto my wall now? There was a walk in closet? Where was my dresser? I began to panic, as I looked all over the place.
I heard a knock on my door. "Faith, come on! You're gonna be late for work!" My dad's voice rang through from the other side.
"Work?" I asked, looking around. "But where am I?" I whispered. "Is this still a dream?" I looked around for my penguin plush, but instead... "A Kwami? Yup! For sure a dream!"
I looked at the small sleeping penguin on my pillow. I must of watched too many episodes before bed. I decided to get 'dressed'. I stepped out of the bedroom, and into the hallway. I found my dad sitting at the dinning table with my younger brother.
"Hey loser." I said to my brother.
"Shut up." He said. Well, I guess some things didn't change. We were only 5 years apart, so he was 13 and I was 18.
"C'mon, eat." My dad said. "You know what will happen if your late again." I took a bite of my toast.
"It's so weird seeing you in my class by the way, miss teachers aid." My brother rolled his eyes.
Thanks for the info, Evan. Was all I could think. I quickly finished eating, and then went back over to my room to fix my hair, and finish getting ready. I looked in the mirror of my bedroom. My brown hair was in a high pony tail, and I was wearing a black skirt and white blouse, white knee highs, and my black flats.
I looked back on my bed, and poked the penguin. It opened it's eyes. "Huh?" It asked. "Wait, what?" It began to float, and freak out more, letting out a scream. I quickly caught it in my hands.
"Shh!" I said, peeking through my hands to look at him.
"Faith, come on, we're gonna be late!" My brother called through my door. "I'll meet you in the car!"
I looked back at the penguin. It looked just like my penguin plush, but it didn't have the signature red ear-muffs. "Igloo?" I asked. "Is that you?"
"F-Faith... Why am I alive?" He seemed scared. His voice was small and sounded a lot like Plagg's, minus the rusty tone.
"Remember that show I watched last night? I think I watched it so much I had a dream about it. I'm sure it'll be over soon." I smiled at him.
"If it were a dream, wouldn't it be over by now? Dreams go by really fast."
I put him in my bookbag. "I don't know Igloo, just stay in here, ok? I have this necklace, see?" I asked, showing him my Igloo necklace. "I'm pretty sure it's a miraculous, which means you're my Kwami."
"Strange..." Igloo said to me.
"Faith!" My dad yelled. I closed my bookbag and ran out to the car.
The drive to the school was super weird. One, I had no idea where I was going, and, two, my brother kept referring to all these things I should of known about. We finally made it to the school. I found my name in the parking lot, and I felt my heart sink. This was the school from that T.V show..."Evan!" I knew that voice. Over ran Adrien and Nino, making my heart flutter a little bit.
"Dude!" Evan said, as he fist bumped my younger brother. Everything felt so weird. I got out of the car, and walked over.
"Hey, Miss Faith! How's it hanging?" Nino asked.
"Hi, Nino." I smiled. "It's hanging."
"Hey, Miss Faith, do we have to hand in our assignments today, or tomorrow?" Adrien asked.
I was confused for a second, but decided to open my book bag. Maybe the answer would be in there? I pulled out a book labeled 'AGENDA', and turned it to the marker of today's date. "Today, you need to have your history assignment done, and handed in before the end of class."
"Sweet! We already got ours done!" Nino smiled at Adrien.
The bell rang, signalling that class was about to start. "See you soon, Miss Faith!" Nino said as he ran off with Adrien.
I walked into the class, and saw my brother sitting in the back of the class, while the other students all sat in their regular seats. Everyone, except for Marinette.
My brother started taking down his notes, along with everyone else in the class. It was weird, everything suddenly felt so real. "Miss Faith, will go around the class and pick up your assignments." Miss Bustier, the homeroom teacher, said.
I looked at my book bag, not seeing Igloo at all. He was staying hidden, which was appreciated. Just as I began to walk to the front seat where Adrien and Nino were, Marinette came in. "Sorry I'm late!" She said as she ran over to her seat.
"Marinette... We spoke about this before, you need to be on time." Miss Bustier said.
"I know, Miss Bustier." She said. "I'm sorry."
The teacher sighed, turning around to write more History lessons on the board. Marinette went to her seat, and I approched Adrien and Nino.
"Assignments please." I smiled. They handed it to me. I then went to Chloe and Sabrina. "Hi ladies, your assignment please." Sabrina handed it to me, a smile plastered on her face. Chloe was too busy filing her nails. I collected the work from other tables, and then finally came back down to Marinette and Alya. I didn't want them to feel rushed. Marinette gave me a nervous smile as she handed me her paper.
I returned the assignments to the teacher, who stacked them neatly on her desk. "Since you have all handed in your assignements, please write down the following notes. You are then free until your next period. Please report to study hall or outside, stay out of the hallways. I'll see you all again for the last class."
The students all left and I looked at Miss Bustier. "Anything else I can help you with?" I asked.
"I don't think so, Faith." She smiled. "Why don't you go and rest until I see you in fourth period?"
"Thanks, Miss Bustier." I smiled and picked up my book bag.
I walked out to the courtyard, seeing Adrien and Nino together listening to some music. Marinette was with Alya on a park bench, just talking. Out of no where, there was a big bang, and then a bright flash of light. I watched as students began to run and hide. Marinette and Adrien went in seperate directions. I had a good feeling about what was about to happen.
