I was running through a field of flowers, letting the wind flow through my hair, when someone called my name. A smile grew on my face as I turned to face whoever was calling me. I saw all my wonderful friends beckoning me closer to them. I opened my mouth to speak but all that came out was a distorted beeping noise. I tried again but the same noise persisted, becoming clearer and louder. Until eventually, I woke up. I pried open my heavy eyes and rolled over to look at the clock. 6:00. I rubbed my eyes and switched off my alarm, wondering why I had to get up so early for school.

I pulled myself up and yawned, waiting until I was fully awake before getting out of bed. I climbed down my ladder and turned on my light, searching for my phone and the clothes I had laid out for school. I was still searching when I heard a knock on my door. I walked over and opened it, immediately seeing a gift box in my mother's hands. I looked over at my father who had a huge grin on his face. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. "Um, mom, what's in the box? Oh, and good morning to the both of you."

My mothers smile grew and she pushed the box forward. "Marinette, your father and I love you dearly. And we thought that since this is your first day of junior year, you deserved a present. I hope you like it, and good morning honey." I grabbed the box from her and started to open it, hoping that it wasn't another expensive gift like last year. I dropped the lid on the ground and moved the tissue paper revealing a cute outfit and shoes snuggly fit into the box. On the top were cute black flats with white lace frill socks.

I stepped into my room and put them down on the desk. I pulled out the outfit and my eyes widened. It was so cute. A light pink floral top with the shoulders cut out and a plain white pleated skirt to match. I put them on and turned to see my parents standing in the doorway, expectant looks on their faces. I smiled and rushed over to hug them both. "Thank you, guys. I really love it. It's beautiful." They patted my head and left looking happy. Muttering something about how seeing me happy was good enough for them. As soon as they were gone I locked the door and got dressed. I admired how the outfit looked on me but had no idea what to do with my hair.

I grabbed the box to put it away somewhere when a ribbon that matched the shirt fell out. Struck with an idea I put the box back down, grabbed the ribbon and went to my vanity. Sitting down I noticed my phone, still connected to the charger. I grabbed it and looked at the time. It was 6:30. My friends probably aren't awake yet but it won't hurt to say good morning too early, right? I clicked our group chat and shot a good morning text to everyone. Smiling, I finished brushing my hair, pulling half of it up, securing it with a ponytail, and tying it with the ribbon. Once I was satisfied with how I looked I walked downstairs to get some breakfast. Excited for the day ahead of me.

I went downstairs to the store and found my parents in the back packing a box. "Hey guys. How do I look?" They turned around and gasped. My mother put down the dessert she was working with and came over to give me a hug. "Oh, Marinette, you look so beautiful. I just knew this would look good on you. Oh yeah, are you hungry we can bring you something to eat." I smiled and shook my head. "No, it's okay maman. I want to go early so that I can get some drawing in before class starts. I'll be sure to grab a muffin on my way out so don't worry."

I pulled away and waved running out before they could protest. I grabbed my bag and a banana nut muffin and headed outside. I pulled my phone out of my bag and was shocked to see that it was already flooded with good morning messages. Laughing to myself I sent a quick text saying, "Thanks for saying good morning guys. I'm walking so i can't text that much but I'll see you all at school." I held the phone up and sent a cute peace sign selfie to the group chat. I sent it and then put my phone away, enjoying the scenery on my walk to school.

There were several disturbances on my walk as many parisians stopped to say hi to me and wish me a good day. However, I still arrived before anyone else. I sat on the stairs in front of the school and looked out at the peaceful environment in front of me. There was a light wind and a sweet scent filled the air. I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and by time I opened them I was struck with inspiration. I pulled out my drawing book, a freshly sharpened pencil and began to sketch.

I drew a beautiful sky blue dress with green and brown accents and made sure that it looked flowy and comfortable. While I was debating whether or not to add pockets I was startled by a tap on my shoulder. I jumped up, spilling my belongings all across the floor. I looked up to see my close friend Alya standing there with a smile on her face. She snapped a picture of me and started picking up my stuff for me. Embarrassed, I blushed and rushed to help her.

"G-good morning Alya. I'm sorry you have to help me so early in the morning." She laughed and handed me my stuff, holding out her hand to help me up. "It's no problem Marinette. I want you to be able to rely on me for anything. No need to be embarrassed by something like this." She paused and put her arm around me before continuing. "Although, I have to admit that I do enjoy seeing that adorable embarrassed face of yours." I laughed and was about to respond when a scream filled the air.

"Alya! Get your grubby paws off of my Mari-kin. You're going to dirty her up with those mannish hands of yours." I laughed as Chloe rushed over and yanked Alya off of me. Before they could fight I pulled them apart and linked arms with the both of them. "Guys, don't fight. It's fine. Let's all have a good day okay." I pulled them to sit with me on the stairs, getting only mumbled replies of agreement. I reached in my bag and pulled out my muffin sharing it with the both of them as we waited for more people to show up. I have a feeling today is going to be a good day.
