HBBIC (Head Bitches & Bastard In Charge)

Red Prince❤️

Nathaniel knew his classmates weren't exactly... The brightest. They would often jump to conclusions, take down the first person that even looked at them funny. But this? This was just fucked up. They turned against the sweetest girl in class- Marinette Dupain-Cheng, the girl they've known since diapers. Even her own best friend and her crush took the side of that... That liar! Rossi came to their class with "astounding stories" about her many travels, charity work, connections, and they all bought it while leaving Marinette behind. Literally, they made her sit in the back of the class just so Lila could sit upfront due to her "tinnitus". They switched back, thank God, after Lie-la told everyone how her good friend Ladybug fixed her hearing... Pathetic.

Nathaniel knew a liar when he saw one. He always managed to find holes and massive red flags. And Lila's had many, many flags. First off, Jagged Stone never owned a cat, he's highly allergic. Prince Ali doesn't do Go Green charities, Rose should know this since she has his number, and Clara Nightingale's moves were all thought of by her, no one else. As long as none of her lies affected him, Nathaniel didn't care. He'd just let everyone figure it out on their own like Marinette and Chloé. They weren't idiots, they could smell an attention grabber from miles away.

Marinette tried to point out Lila's lies, but she somehow turned it around and made it look like Marinette was bullying her, and everyone fell for it!

Then everything turned calm for a while. Lila wasn't making Marinette look like the bad guy, just making her classmates do stuff for her by taking advantage of their weakness kindness. It was sad, honestly, watching those poor, mindless sheep being tricked by a fox with horrible hair that Nathaniel was forced to look at every day. They bought her lunch, carried her belongings, listened to her lies. This is why Nathaniel doesn't sit with them at lunch anymore. But they don't need to know that.

But then tragedy struck. Marinette got expelled. He couldn't believe it, he really couldn't. Marinette would never cheat, push someone down the stairs, or steal. Nathaniel tried to point this out, but of course, no one listened to him. Not when he pointed out how Lila didn't have any scratches on her after "falling down the stairs", the lockers didn't have any locks so anyone could easily break in and frame someone for theft.

For some demented reason, the school won't allow students to bring locks from home, a policy that many of the teachers tried to get removed. Mme. Bustier, who was all for "students trusting each other" or some shit fought to keep the policy in place, and Damocles sided with her. And Nathaniel's always wondered why the school never bought any security cameras. They obviously had the money for it due to one of the student's being the mayor's daughter, but after he saw the modifications Damocles made to his office, that mystery was solved.

Everyone was too dense to fact check everything, and Nathaniel watched as Marinette did the walk of shame out of the locker room. When she went to open the door, about fifty red Akumas flew in and possessed Bustier, Damocles, Juleka, Rose, the Dupain-Chengs... And Marinette. Nathaniel managed to hide and go unnoticed by the Akumas. Marinette and her mother had red Akuma symbols around their faces, Chloe was protecting Sabrina, and Lila just stood there smirking like she was happy this was happening. He knew Lila was trouble, but there was no way she planned this... Right?

No. That was just ridiculous... She just enjoys discord, and causing it apparently. Lila must've realized that Nathaniel wasn't like the others and tried to do to him what she did to Marinette. A few weeks ago, Nathaniel was accused of stealing Lila's artwork even though the girl can't draw a simple stick figure. The class decided to get back at him by tearing up his beloved sketchbook. If Nathaniel had Chat's ring, he would Cataclysm the hell out of each and every one of them. He was able to prove his innocence thanks to Marc comparing the art style in the book to one of his earlier works, but the damage was done, and what really pissed him off was that none of his classmates believed that him, the artist of the class who hated thieves wouldn't steal another person's work.
