Warped Reality

Chapter Three

Marinette

She sat down in her seat, grateful that at least the classroom looked the same. Aside from the seating arrangement. Alya was sitting where Adrien usually did, Nino was next to her. Neither of them even looked up from what they were doing when she walked in. Nathaniel placed his hand under her chin, lifting her face up towards him, preparing to give her a kiss. That, she couldn't do. Nathaniel was a nice guy, in the real world at least, but she didn't like him in that way.

"Uh... Morning Alya!"

She quickly turned her head, his lips landing on her cheek. Alya turned and looked at her, making a disgusted face. What the hell was that about?

"What are you doing talking to her?" Nathaniel whispered, practically glaring at her.

"I thought..."

Maybe they weren't friends here? This place was absolutely horrible. What was next? Chloe having a twin sister? Adrien still being homeschooled? Where would it end?

Nathaniel took a seat across the aisle from her, and she focused on going through the bookbag. Mostly just school stuff. A few stray pencils, books, notebooks. She closed her eyes, taking a breath to steady herself. This wasn't an illusion. Everything in it was real, she could feel it. An illusion could never be this detailed. Not with the limited powers Hawkmoth had. So maybe she really had been put in another timeline. But how was she supposed to get back?

"Good Morning Marinette."

She glanced up, relief flooding through her. Adrien sat down next to her slowly, as if waiting on her to tell him to move. Well, she wouldn't. Even if this Marinette seemed like a douche, the real one wasn't. She offered him a soft smile, before turning away and unlocking her phone. She pulled open the gallery, unfortunately not finding much. A few pictures of her and her father, some pictures of Paris. A disgusting amount of pictures of her and Nathaniel, doing... well mainly make out photos. How gross was this Marinette? Apparently super gross. She sighed, closing out the gallery, scrolling through the apps.

"Adrien."

She tensed, glancing over at him. Standing next to the desk was Lila, who was currently glaring at Adrien. Of course Lila would be back in their class in this world. She shook her head slightly, focusing back on her phone.

"Oh- uh hey Lila."

"Did you forget about picking me up this morning?" She hissed, and Marinette's stomach churned.

They couldn't be...

"Yeah, sorry. Just got a lot on my mind I guess. I'm sorry." He awkwardly chuckled, and she wanted to bolt from the classroom.

This Adrien seemed nice. Of course he would be dating Lila. Something had to be wrong with him. Lila leaned down and quickly kissed him on the lips, and Marinette gagged. Out loud. Like an absolute moron. Lila looked over at her, her face turning red with anger.

"What was that?"

"I coughed." She said flatly, clicking on a writing app, hoping notes or something could hint at what the hell was wrong with this Marinette's life.

"No you fucking didn't. Don't lie about it."

"Funny coming from you."

Oh... oh no. She quickly looked up, her eyes wide. What if that was something that the other Marinette wouldn't have said?

"Remember the rules Marinette. We don't talk to you, and you don't talk to us. So I'd suggest you shut the fuck up."

Holy crap. Where did that come from? Wait a second. She said us, us as in her and Adrien? He hated her too?
