Miraculous Mystique

Miraculous Acrobat

With a HUGE smile plastered on my face I raise both hands in the air and the crowd goes wild with excitement. I grab the bar, step back and jump... flying across the arena I feel weightless as If I were truly flying. But then sadly I have to open my eyes and look for the familiar hands of my brother that are calloused from hours of practice.

"Gotcha y/n." he whispered. I flip around catch my bar, somersault around it, and swing back to the platform. Raising my arms once more I smile as if that was something really hard and I had just done it for the first time. But 1: It was not in the least bit difficult for me to those flips, 2: I'd been doing that trick since kindergarden. But the audience didn't know that of course. I Inwardly sigh because I was done for the night, well done in the show at least...

-------------------------------------Time skip----------------------------------------

Tossing and turning in bed I turn to look at the alarm clock, 11:30 p.m. Yes! Grinning I throw off my sleeping bag, and slowly, quietly push back the tent flap careful not not make a noise. I tiptoe down the field, letting the moonlight illuminate the way to the arena and crawl underneath my secret loose board into the covered tent. Using my chalk I rub it on my hands and start to climb up the ladder to the platform, until I hear the familiar creak of my secret board and I freeze.

"Now how did I know you were gonna be in here," said my brother Chase laughing. I sigh knowing I almost made it, and start to climb down.

"I couldn't sleep," I replied. Well that's partly true anyway.

"Oh, I see so this wasn't a planned venture, and you definitely didn't plan on staying up until you thought everyone was asleep so you could go and practice the dangerous flips. Definitely not," Chase said in an accusing tone.

"Exactly," I said in a chipper tone even though I already knew he saw through me like clean glass.

"Mhm, suuuuuuuuure, well climb on up there since we both can't sleep and we might as well get some practice in, and you need a catcher anyway," he said as if he were giving up on their makeshift accusing argument.

"Yayyyyyyyyyyy! Thank you so much Chase!!!! You're the best brother ever!" I squealed.

"Now remember to time it right when I start swinging to catch you on the other side...

-------------------------------------------------------Next Week----------------------------------------------------------

I stammered, "O, M, Goodness! I am so excited, I mean I can't believe we're In Paris, like THE Paris, like we're actually here, like no way, like..."

"If you say like one more time, I'll strangle you," Aiden threatened.

"Everybody calm down we're all family here, no need to get riled up," Chase replied calmly.

"I just still can't believe that our circus gets to come to Paris!" I said using a fangirl voice. "We're all set up, so I'm just gonna go practice..." I said while walking towards the big tent, as if I was hiding something, which I was.

"Wow there y/n," Chase said pulling me back by the collar, "You have to go to school missy," he said shoving my backpack into my arms.

"I don't want toooo," I whined, "What's the point of going anyway we're just gonna leave again right as I actually start to make friends,"

"You still have to go," he replied.

I groaned, "But!"

"No buts, you're going," he said, ending the conversation.

"Ugh, fiiiiiiiine," I gave in. I looked down at the slip of crinkled paper, Franҫoise Dupont High School. Huh it's gotta a cool name at least. I walked up to the front of the school pulled my h/l, h/c and Teal tipped hair up into a ponytail, took a deep breath and walked in. It was a very large school and was super nice, most of the classrooms were up on a second floor. This was definitely the nicest school I'd been to. But I had no idea which one was Ms.Bustier's. Hmmmm... maybe I'll just ask someone, I went up to a blond girl, and asked her, "Do you know where I can find Ms.Bustier's classroom?"

She turned with sour scowl on her face and I immediatly realized I had asked the wrong person. "Look Sabrina, it's the new girl. I heard she's with the traveling circus, she must be one of the animals," the frowning girl retorted.

"Sorry for bothering you, nevermind..." I replied meekly. Feeling really hurt I looked around for a friendly face, and saw a shorter girl than I, with bluish black hair in pigtails approaching.

"Hi. I'm Marinette you must be y/n," she said in a kindhearted voice.

"Nice to meet you, do have an idea where I can find Ms.Bustier's class?" I asked sounding lost.

"Of course I do, you're in my class, I'll take you there. Sighing in relief, I followed her up the stairs and turned right then our class was the first room straight ahead of us.

"Thank you so much," I said smiling.

"No problem," she said as if saving someone from a disaster like mine was something she did regularly.

I wish I could have sat next down next to her but it already looked like she had a friend to sit next to, so I sat down next down next to this really cute blond guy. I said, "Hi, my names y/n, what's yours?" He looked uncomfortable for a second and I wondered if I had said something wrong.

But he just smiled and said, "Nice to meet you y/n, I'm Adrien." Before I could reply I heard someone clear their throat behind me, I whirled around, oh that's why, Adrien's friend probably sits here...oops.

"Oh, I'm sorry, of course this seat would be taken, sorry..." I muttered apologetically. I got up and decided to take a seat in the back of class next to a red head. I found out his name was Nathaniel and he was a REALLY good artist he even drew a picture of me and gave it to me, he was really sweet. I was still feeling super awkward about this morning and the whole sitting in his seat thing, I found out his name's Nino from Nate, I gave him a nickname. I thought it would be best if I just sit by myself at lunch, it's better if I don't get attached because we'll just leave again in two weeks. Feeling lonely I sat down and started nibbling on my sandwich. Just as I felt like leaving, Marinette, Adrien, Nino, and the girl in glasses that I saw sitting next to Marinette came and sat by me. Nino, and Alya formally introduced themselves, and they started to ask about me.

"So do you really travel with the circus?" Adrien asked eagerly.

"Ya, I do with my other two brothers, Chase, and Aiden, my oldest brother, Zac, used to as well, but now he's doing business in New York instead," I replied.

"Wow, that is so cool, what do you do and what do Chase and Aiden do in the circus?" asked Nino.

"Well, it depends, sometimes I do vaulting on horses, acrobatics, or tightrope walking, but mostly I am a trapeze artist, and gymnast. My brothers Chase, and Aiden are muscle men, but Chase also assists me in my trapeze act."

"That's amazing," Marinette said in awe.

"Ya, we'll have to come to your show sometime," Adrien said.

"Definitely, I would appreciate that," I said surprised they wanted to come, and were being so nice. I know I shouldn't have, but I became pretty good friends with them during the day. It turns out Adrien's a famous Model, Alya is a reporter, Nino is a Dj, and Marinette was a designer. When you're like me and you've met so many people, you get pretty good at reading people, for some reason I could tell Adrien and Marinette were hiding something. I don't know why, maybe I'm just paranoid. Waving goodbye to them, I walked home with my heart feeling full.
