Exchange Students (By: Glitchy The Hedgehog And Amilie Salmana

Pt. 3

"Uh, Mr. Damocles?" The other exchange student asked as she poked her head through the door.

"Can't you see I'm in a meeting right now!?" The principal snapped.

"Yes, yes, I do see that," Rebek said, "But I wanted to let you know that Chloe was bulling Marinette and Marinette ran off on the brink of tears. Which means she's on the brink of being akumatized!"

Mr. Damocles looked at Rebek with contempt. "I'll deal with it in a minute, Lila's more important."

"Excusez moi!?" Rebek called out. "Lila's more important!? What about Marinette!?"

"Marinette can handle herself. Lila on the other hand, is much more fragile," stated the principal.

"I beg your pardon!?" Eliza screamed. "While I agree with the valid point you made, she is very capable of handling herself, and is actually very strong once you get to know Liar-la's true self."

Lila looked up at Rebek and Eliza. "Thanks, but ouch."

"What just a min, what happened to all your tears?" Eliza asked when she noticed Lila no longer crying. She also saw there was no evidence of tears on her face.

Liar-la started to fake cry again. "It- it was just a b-b-burst of adrenaline there, b-but I really am scared."

"That's not how it works," Eliza quipped matter of factly.

"And if you're so scared," Rebek added, "why are you crying? Doesn't crying relate to sadness, and being upset?"

Lila let out a fake sob. "I am upset!"

Rebek looked at Lila with false confusion. "You're upset with... Fear?"

Eliza facepalmed behined her. "Rebek, you realize that's not how it works, ri-"

"I'm upset because Eliza threatened to kill me!" Lila interupted.

"Yes I do know that's not how is works," Rebek said, obviously not  hearing Lila, "I only said that to make a point."

Eliza continued to argue. "Well your point didn't make any sense, moron."

Rebek was surly unimpressed, but not offended. Rebek.EXE has stopped working, she thought.

"Hey author, do you think what Rebek said made sense?"

Lila stopped with the fake crying and looked at Eliza with confusion. "Are you mentally ill?"

"No. Why?"

"Then who where you talking to?" Lila wanted to know.

Rebek finally spoke up. "No, she's not mentally ill. She just broke the forth wall. Please expect that from us sometimes."

Lila slowly blinked in confusion.

Eliza, with her hands on her hips, turned back to Mr. Damocles, who was frozen in shock. "Now, Mr. Damocles. May I leave?" Mr. Damocles said nothing. He didn't even move.

"Uh, Mr. Damocles?" Eliza asked, waiting for an answer.

Rebek suddenly understood the situation the third time Eliza tried to get the principal's attention, and received no response. "Um, Eliza?" Rebek called, catching Eliza off her guard.

"Yeah? What is it?"

Rebek's eyes filled with worry. "I think we have an akuma."
