"One lie is enough to question all truths"
People are easily manipulated by lies. Too easily. To the point where the most trustworthy person is no longer seen that way. So...that's why she shall speak only truth, and pass rightful judgment on those...
The atmosphere in class was heavy and very unpleasant. Everyone was whispering about the situation that occurred a few minutes ago. The young model was starring at his notebook. Ms. Bustier tried to proceed with her class, but even she was anxious about this whole mess. Adrien couldn't believe his friends. How could they so easily pass their judgment on Marinette? He was thinking about Marinette until the door opened. He hoped to see his friend, but he was devasted when he saw Lila...alone. Everyone asked her if she's alright, even our teacher. While young Agreste remained silent, even though I wanted to scream at her and everyone. She made herself look like a victim. He couldn't take it anymore. So, the young model asked the teacher if he could go to the bathroom.
"Of course Adrien" The green-colored-eyed boy stood up and left the classroom. He noticed that Marinette left the principal's office. He thought she probably left to the bathroom. Perfect.
"Marinette?" Adrien grabbed her hand before she could enter the bathroom. She looked at him and the blonde-haired boy noticed she was still crying. "What happened? Why didn't you come back to the classroom?" She looked down and cried more.
"I-I got suspended for two weeks..." Adrien couldn't believe it. "And I have to write an apology letter to Lila....as well as apologize to her in front of everyone.." The young model was shocked and pissed.
"What?! How dare they? You did nothing wrong! If someone should be apologizing it's Lila, not you! And...he suspended you? Isn't that too much?" The green-eyed boy was mad at the turn of events.
"Adrien? Can I...ask you something?"The bluebell-colored-eyed lifted her head to look young Agreste in the eyes.
"Of course! Anything!" He smiled at his friend.
"Am I really...that...untrustworthy?" Marinette's question shocked Adrien."Please...answer me truthfully" Girl pleaded as she looked down.
The green-colored-eyed boy was shocked by Mari's question. But he knew what to do. Adrien took Marinette's hand and placed it on his chest, where the heart should be, and with a smile on his face, he answered her. "Of course you aren't Mari. Don't let this situation get to you. Remember that I am here, and I always will be here for you..." Marinette blushed at the boy's answer and his actions. After Adrien realized what he said and did, he blushed as well and started stuttering. "O-Of course alongside with K-Kagami a-and L-Luka!" Marinette giggled at Adrien's words. He was glad he made her feel a little better.
"Thank you, Adrien..." She answered him with a smile. "I believe I have to go...my parents are probably already here..." The bluebell-colored-eyed girl looked down.
"I have to go back too..." The sigh left the young model's mouth. "I'll call you later, okay?" The blonde boy asked, and bluenette nodded in response. Then he leaned closer and kissed Mari's cheek, and left to class.
Marinette placed her hand on her cheek. She smiled while her cheeks became redder, and then she left to come back to the principal's office. When she entered the principal's office, as she suspected, her parents were already there. The girl's parents stood up and left with their daughter in silence.
This isn't a good sign. She thought. Does it mean they judged her too? Their daughter? Without letting her explain the whole situation? It made Marinette's heart break even more.
Their walk to their house was very hard for an aspiring designer. As soon as the three of them entered the house, Marinette went straight to her room. When she reached her room, her little friend from her bag appeared before her.
"Don't be sad Marinette...I'm sure everything will work out!" Kwami tried to cheer up her owner.
"Oh Tikki...I don't know what to do...Even my parents..."Marinette started to cry.
"You don't know that Mari" Tikki hugged Marinette's cheek.
"I saw that in their eyes...they were full of..sadness and disappointment.." The bluebell-colored-eyed girl fell to her knees. Kwami wanted to say something, but heard a noise and hid in Mari's bag.
Someone embraced the crying girl from behind. "Please don't cry Mari, it's not worth it" Marinette's eyes widen, then she looked at the person that was hugging her.
"L-Luka? What are you doing here?" Mari asked while she was drying her teras.
"Adrien texted me" The young guitarist said as he helped Mari to stand up. "I'm sorry for my sister's behavior.." He looked away.
"It's alright Luka...she is just blinded by Lila's lies...like everyone..." She looked down. "It just...really hurt"
"Mari.."The cyan-colored-eyed boy hugged her.
Two more people joined the hug.
"Adrien! Kagami! What are you doing here?" A smile appeared on the aspiring designer's face. They all broke from the hug.
"Adrien texted me, so I rushed here. And on my way, I decided to pick up Adrien too." The vermilion-colored-eyed girl stated. While the young model was smiling and waving to Mari.
"T-Thank you guys...I needed that" Marinette smiled.
"No problem Mari" The blonde boy answered.
"After all, that's what are friends for, right?" The three of them said with warm smiles on their faces, while they hugged their friend again. Her mind was filled with happy thoughts again.
"I'm so lucky to have friends like you guys."
