Chapter 7

Up on stage.

Marinette was drawing in her sketchbook with stacks of boxes beside her. She then saw Nino reaching for one of the boxes. He opened the top one up to reveal several pastries. As he was about to grab one, Marinette pulled out a ruler and smacked Nino on the hand with it.

"Ow!" He screamed.

"Keep your hands off them" said Marinette in a threatening tone while shaking her ruler.

"Didn't you bring these for us?" Asked Alya.

"No, they're for Valentino", said Marinette. "His club is opening tonight and he paid me and my parents to make some pastries for the patrons and the workers".

"Oh come on", whined Alya. "Surely you could let each of have just one". Marinette then bolted up from her seat.

"If I see you take even so much as a CRUMB from these boxes", threatened Marinette with a scowl on her face. "Your asses are gonna be so sore you're gonna start calling me mommy". The rest of the Akuma Class just backed away.

"Yeah, that's what I thought" said Marinette. Lila just growled and Marinette smirked. Since they were paid for in advance, they couldn't take them without getting into legal trouble.

After school was finished, Marinette walked to Valentino's club. There, she was greeted by two girls. One was a black woman with long, straight hair that covered her eyes and the other one had a more tanned complexion. She had brown hair done in two, short pigtails and she had hoop earrings.

"Hello Diana, hello Valerie" said Marinette.

"Hello Marinette" greeted Valerie (the black woman) sweetly.

"Oh, you brought the pastries?" Asked Diana (the more tanned woman).

"Well, your boss did pay for them" said Marinette.

"Come in, come in" said Diana. They then moved aside and allowed Marinette to enter. The lounge and bar were being decorated for opening night. All of the dancers and staff were hanging up bandanas and streamers.

"Hey Marinette" said a female bouncer with short platinum blonde hair.

"Hi Betty".

"Hi Marinette" said a man with brown hair done in a rat braid.

"Hi Ruben".

"Hiya Marinette" said a woman with short, messy black hair.

"Nice to see ya Marinette" said a woman with long, well-kept wood-brown hair.

"Hi Dia. Hi Summer". Valentino then walked into the bar.

"Hello Marinette", he said. "You got all the pastries I asked for?".

"Yep, everything you asked for is here" answered Marinette. She placed the boxes on the counter and a bunch of bouncers took them away.

"Marinette, I know that you've done SO much for me", said Valentino. "But I have two more favours to ask you". Marinette was reluctant, but since Valentino did pay her every time she did something, she felt a bit better.

"What are that?" Asked Marinette. "The singer who was supposed to perform for tonight's opening isn't gonna make it. So, I was wondering if you could sing tonight?". Marinette looked shocked at this.
