Chapter three: Something Peculiar about Everyone

"Marinette, you better hurry up, or you're going to be late for school!" I heard my mom yell as I ran down the stairs.

"Sorry Mama, I had trouble debating on what I was going to wear," I replied out of breath as I walked into the kitchen/dining area.

I kissed my dad on the cheek in greeting as he drank his morning coffee. I poured myself some orange juice, sliced some strawberry jam on my plain bangle, and then grabbed a croissant that looked to be freshly made from the oven. I sat at the table, wolfing down my breakfast, which was probably due to the heavy nervousness in the pit of my stomach.

"Today's the big day, kiddo. Are you definitely sure that you know where the school is? I can drive you on my way to work if you want?" My father asked, already holding his car keys to his cruiser.

"Don't worry, I know where I'm going, I could even be someone's GPS if I wanted," I replied in reassurance.

"She will be fine, dear, stop being such a worry-wort you always are. Oh, and Marinette, let me give you these chocolate mooncakes I made," My mom said before she handed me these delectable of delights.

"Thanks mom," I said as I gave her a chaste kiss on the cheek.

"I thought you could share them with your classmates, I thought it might help break the ice for you," my mother is so thoughtful.

"What time is it?" I asked out of the blue.

I quickly grabbed my dad's wrist to see the time on his watch. I yelped when I realized that I only had like fifteen minutes left to get to class. When I pulled away, I accidently knocked over the open carton of orange juice before it spilled all over the dining table.

Gosh, darn it!

"It's okay sweetie, I got it, you get going," My mom reassured me before she went up to grab some paper towels off the rack.

I bid them a quick goodbye, grabbing my heavy coat off the rack before I went out the door. It was quite chilly out as I put on my coat. I sprinted like a mad woman, before I halted in front of Adrien's home.

I wonder if Adrien goes to my school, or better yet, if he would be one of my classmates? I questioned to myself.

With one last final glance at the mansion, I ran so fast, it would have made my old gym teacher astounded that I could put an effort into running. I had no idea I was being watched through one of those windows, and the person behind it looked absolutely lonely.

Time Skip

Somehow by the sheer of luck that I didn't know I had in me; I made it to class in the nick of time. I could feel everyone's curious eyes on me, probably wondering who's the new kid?

I luckily found myself an empty seat, but before I could scoot myself in, a snobbish voice stopped me from doing so.

"Who are you, new girl?" Somebody asked loudly.

I turned and faced a pretty blonde girl. She reminded me of one those Barbie dolls I used to play with when I was a kid. She was wearing a fashionable outfit, with a leather purse attached to her hip, and she confidently wore these high-heels that were fit for a model.

"My name is Marinette, nice to meet you. Would you like a chocolate mooncake?" I offered nicely as I opened up the box.

She puckered her glossy lips in disdain. "Sorry, I don't eat sweets, something that you eat too much of apparently," She said as she took a step back, acting like my stomach was the one who pushed her back.

Was she implying that I was fat? Am I really fat? I could feel the tears wanting to come out, but I willed them to stay put.

"Hey, Chloe, leave the girl alone," I heard a new voice command.

I faced another girl who stood tall and confident like one of those heroes I would read in my comic books.

"Stay out of this, wench," Chloe hissed.

"Oh, please. Bite me, Chloe, I dare you," The girl taunted with a heavy eye-roll.

The girl grabbed my hand, and gently pulled me to where she was seating.

"You can sit with me, I'm sorry, what's your name?" The girl asked politely.

"Marinette," I squeaked.

She smiled at this. "Well, Marinette, I would really like it if you could be my friend? Unlike this one over here, who has to buy her friends because no can endure her God awful personality." Chloe was seething when the girl said this loudly while she dramatically pointed at her.

"Sure, I would really like that," I replied with a giggle before Chloe marched to her seat angrily.

The girl sat herself next to me before I slid the box towards her.

"Would you like a chocolate mooncake, they're freshly made? And I want you to have as many as you want because you got me out of that sticky situation," I explained bashfully.

"Thank you so much, Marinette. Oh, where are my manners? My name is Alya, by the way. And yeah, Chloe did put you in quite a sticky situation..." I could have sworn I saw a hint of a mischievous twinkle in her hazel orbs.

The precise moment our teacher walked in, Chloe bolted off from her seat and exclaimed in disgust.

"Miss Bourgeois, is there a problem?" The teacher asked annoyed.

"Yes there is, Madame Bustier! There is a sticky piece of gum on my new white pants, somebody must have put gum on my seat on purpose!" Chloe exclaimed like it was the end of the world.

"Then go to the bathroom, and go wash it off. Now, class, please put out your homework so that I can collect it..."

Chloe stormed out of the classroom, with her heels clicking in toll, and she actually glared at Alya like she was the one who caused her distress.

"Well, you know what they say, Marinette. What goes around, comes around," She said teasingly, but I had a feeling there were a double meaning to her words.

I only smiled at her for my response. I relished the fact that I have probably made myself a new trust-worthy friend. Who was definitely a keeper.

Time Skip

During our lunch hour, we went to my mom's bakery, and we shared some jelly donuts that my mom made specially for us. Afterwards, we had a little time to kill, so we tried to decide on what store we could browse at for that extra time. Suddenly, Alya stopped at this tiny store that stuck out like a sore thumb.

"What's up, Alya?" I asked her perplexed.

"Do you mind if we go in here, real quick? I want to see how my family friend, Master Fu, is doing," She asked conflicted.

"Sure, Alya. Also, I would love to meet him," Ayla nodded, but I wonder why she looked so nervous?

When Alya and I first walked in- I saw an abundance of apothecary items, some voodoo charms, and lots of incense and candles. I get it, she probably thought I might to be judgmental of the store.

I saw her sneak an apprehensive glance at me, but I reassured her with a smile.

"This place is cool, Alya!" I said and I really meant it. It felt like I stepped into a magical wardrobe that brought me into Harry Potter's world.

There was a little sign that says: "Ring bell for service, but not more than once!" So Alya rang it more than one with a giggle.

Within a minute, a very short, older man who wore a red Hawaiian shirt came behind the front desk.

"Can't you Youngins, read?" He asked through a rather raspy voice.

Then, his eyes bulged when he recognized it was Alya who ranged the bell.

"Oh, you cheeky girl, always giving me trouble," He said as she hugged him.

"Who's this, Alya? And where is that nice young man, Nino, was it?" Master Fu asked as he broke the hug.

He observed me kindly, while I awkwardly stood there under his calculating gaze.

"Who's Nino?" I asked Alya without thinking.

She never mentioned him when we conversed at the bakery or during our classes.

"Oh, he's one of our classmates and my friend, you'll probably see him tomorrow," She replied while blushing like a fat tomato.

I smirked. Oh, I see, Alya's got a little crush on this Nino guy. I got to remember to bring him up when we're alone.

"Well, my name is Master Fu. And what's your name again, my dear?" Master Fu puts his hand out.

I grasped it before I felt an electrical shock when I took it.

"My name is Marinette," I answered shyly as I shook his hand.

"Marinette, I see great potential in you, young lady," Master Fu beamed proudly.

I blushed at his praise, while Alya gave him a skeptical look.

I meekly thanked him as I went to go look around the store because Alya looked like she wanted to talk to Master Fu alone for a minute. I tried not to pry into their conversation, so I decided to enrapture myself of this book about Wicca that I picked off from the dusty shelf. As I read, I noticed they were talking in hushed whispers. Not to be vain or anything, but I felt like they were talking about me.

As to why? I had no clue.

When I finished skimming through the book, an ancient; round box caught my attention. It had red markings on it, which was shaped as a cross. When I opened it; they're were these beautiful Ladybug earrings that twinkled like a shiny coin.

I went over to them when I didn't hear them talking anymore. When I approached them, Master Fu and Alya looked at me like I was holding a treasure chest.

"How did you get that damn thing to open?" She asked incredulous.

"I just opened it," I replied dumbly.

"My dear, I've been working here for a very long time, and only two people have been available to open that box," He stated mysteriously.

"Really?!" I asked dumbfounded.

"Well, then, I guess you want to sell these earrings I found in here," I said while trying to hand him the box, but he shook his head as he took the box from me.

"Oh, no, my dear, I believe it was fated for you to have these earrings with no charge," He answered with a cheeky grin.

"That wouldn't be right, at least let me pay for it," I politely suggested.

"That's really kind of you, Marinette, but I want them to be in your care," I decided to quit protesting as he handed me the earrings.

And people thought I was stubborn, well, I think Master Fu takes the cake of that.

"I think it's time we get back to class. Good day, Master Fu!" Before I could even blink, Alya gently started to drag me out the door.

"Thanks for the earrings, Master Fu!" I yelled back at him.

He smiled and waved. "Anytime, Marinette. My door is always open, especially if you find yourself in trouble," He said seriously.

Before I could ask him to imply further of what he meant, we were out the door and found ourselves running towards the school because we were late.

Unknown to me, the fear of being late to school, would be the bottoms of my worries when my true destiny shall awaken.
