Opposites

<Chapter 2>

Marinette was up and out of bed by 6 am. Which was crazy for her considering she was practically late to school every other day. But today was different, not because it was a Monday but because of her birthday.

Today was the day, yep it was her sixteenth birthday. Marinette was so pumped, today was the day she got her power which means she would soon find her soulmate...hopefully.

She sprung out of bed and headed for the bathroom to take a soothing shower. 20 minutes and a lot of singing later Marinette walks out of her bathroom with a lime green towel wrapped around her petite frame while a plush pink towel was wrapped around her head containing her dark raven hair.

She happily made her way over to her closet to pick out an outfit for the day.

She decided on a ladybug patterned dress that was snug around her torso but flared out once it reach her hips. With that she chose a pair of black flats and a simple white purse with small pink flowers on it.

After getting dressed Marinette decided to do her hair. First she towel dried it, then preceded to blow dry. After her hair was dry she put it up into a tight bun on the backside of her head.

She applied one layer of mascara and made her way over to her full body mirror. Satisfied with how she looked, she grabbed her school bag and made her way down her trapdoor into the kitchen, to be greeted by her loving parents.

"Happy Birthday Marinette!" Both her mother and father said in unison.

This caused a huge smile to form on Marinette's face. "Thanks Mama and Papa!" she said running over to her loving parents and embracing them both.

After pulling away Marinette glanced at the island in the middle of their kitchen to see pancakes, eggs and toast along with a small red velvet cupcake. Looking back at her parents Marinette smiled and sat down to eat.

Eating and having her mother save her cupcake Marinette made her way through the bakery downstairs. Saying goodbye to her parents, she walked out the glass door making the small golden bell chime above her head and started walking to school.

Walking down the street Marinette had this warm feeling in her hands. As she looked down they started to glow red, it wasn't bright but it was still there. This caused the young girl to stop in her tracks and stare at her small palms.

Hearing a honk Marinette looked up from her hands, only to see she was in the middle of the road. Quickly making her way off the street she sat on a bench and pulled out her phone. She still had 10 minutes till first period started anyway so she was going to research.

After a few minutes of researching Marinette came up with an hypothesis, but first she needed to try something. She glanced around, seeing the coast was clear she rubbed her hands together and then cupped them. Marinette closed her eyes and concentrated, her hands began to glow. After about a minute she opened her eyes to find a rose laying in her cupped hands.

Amazed Marinette lifted the rose to her nose to smell the sweet flower, as a smile crept on her face. She checked the time and saw she had 5 minutes to get to school. Putting her phone in her pocket and gently holding the rose she made her way to school.

Marinette read online that her power was rare, for someone with her ability was born every 300 years. Her power was described as a blessing.

For she had the power of creation.
