Arpina's POV
I settle down in my new room. I just moved to Paris with my mother Arpine. After the divorce my mother wanted a fresh start so we moved back. She got a job as a detective. I look around my new room.
Today is the first day of school. I go to Collège Françoise Dupont. I am the cousin of Marinette Dupain Cheng. She doesn't know that I am here yet. "Blaze let's go otherwise you will be late!" my mom calls. "Coming!" I call back. Blaze is the nickname I earned because of my flaming red hair. I finish my outfit and head downstairs.
My kwami Flairre quickly hides in my purse. She has been giving me advice on how to handle school. "Bye mom! I love you!" I say as I hug my mom. "Bye Blaze! Have a good day!" I grab my backpack and head out the door. It's a sunny cool day. A smile forms on my face as I walk to school. I'm nervous but excited. As I get to Francis DuPont I see people point and stare but that's normal to me because of my hair. The bell rings just as I walk inside the school. People file into their classes. I use the map to find mine. From what Principle Damocles told me Mari and I are in the same class. I find the class and take a deep breath.
