Chapter 8: Mark
Carla sat in her ceramics class and worked on a clay sculpture. It was actually a model of Bloom's enchantix wings. She used to really enjoy art classes. They were a nice break in the day where she didn't have to worry about tests or homework. She was allowed to listen to music of her choice, so she always had the "Winx in Concert" CD coming through her earbuds. Yes, used to be great, until Ms. Simonson - the ceramics teacher - started playing favorites.
Mark was a fellow senior and an amazing artist. Ms. Simonson often praised him, telling him he could teach the class himself, and even let him teach lower level students on more than one occasion. He always got A's on his projects, while everyone else in the class got C's because their works looked terrible compared to his.
Everyone knew that Mark was the favorite. Carla sat back and thought, "If I was Mark, I could actually be good in this class for once."
What happened next, Carla never would've expected. She felt herself begin to change. It felt just like the Winx girl change, but when it was over, she was not a Winx girl. It was Mark.
Internal panic arose. There were now two Marks in the classroom - one was real and one was a copy. The copy ran and hid in the closet before anyone had the chance to even notice. His thoughts ran wild. I'm a boy! Wait, for sure? I should check... Oh, that's disgusting! I so did not need to see that! But now I know what's going on. It's just my powers acting up again. But wait, aren't my powers only supposed to let me obtain the appearance, personality, and memories of a Winx girl? Then how am I a boy from my class?
While the panic was happening, the bell rang and the other students left. Copy-Mark slipped out of the closet, intending to grab his stuff quietly and transform back into her regular self, when he was stopped by Ms. Simonson. "Can you stay after school today? The other teachers are going to a faculty meeting, so no one will know what we're doing."
As Carla's consciousness dipped into Mark's memories, she found some pretty disturbing things. Apparently, Mark and Ms. Simonson had been in a sexual relationship for months. That explained the favoritism...
Carla reverted to her normal self. "I'm sorry, Ms. Simonson, but that is not nearly appropriate." She grabbed her backpack and left.
"I didn't know she was in this class," Ms. Simonson muttered.
Carla went straight to the office and reported the student/teacher relationship. The staff were well aware of Carla's unique ability, and believed her enough to start up an investigation. Then, she went to tell Lae about this new revalation in her powers.
