You don't know me

Chapter 2: Just a Friend

Previously,

"Ok Mama and Papa just tell me already!" Marinette said, feeling curious and also a tiny bit worried. It was obvious that it was hard for them to tell her.

"Ok" They took a deep breath in....

Marinette P.O.V

"Marinette Dupain-Cheng, Or should I say Marianne Alonso-Diaz, you are the crown princess of Spain!" Her parents announced with a weak smile on their faces.

"Surprise?"

Marinette felt her head spinning round the room, as she was trying to get over the fact that she was basically royalty, and her parents kept it from her for years. Now that she thought about it, it made a lot of sense to her: why at night when her parents thought she was asleep, she could hear them conversing in Spanish, why when she tried to remember her childhood she kept seeing a palace and a blonde-haired kid and also why she was forced to learn Spanish, French, English and basic manners and etiquette, and self defence.  Then she realised something.

"Wait so I'm the princess, then you two are the King and Queen?" 

Her parents sighed deeply, knowing now that the truth was fully out.

"Yeah we are, we all had to move away from Madrid because we got word that royalty from neighbouring kingdoms are trying to kill you because we refused your hand in marriage for some of their sons, but you were only 4 we can promise your hand when you cant even read a proper story yet!"

Marinette now began to piece everything together. But there was still something she didn't understand.

"Why are you telling me this now?"

"Because your Quinceañera is coming up, a traditional celebration for when a girl enters womanhood, and turns 15. The whole Kingdom will be celebrating and you need to be there because that will also be your coronation. So...we're moving to Spain."

"Surprise?" said her dad again, trying to lighten up the mood.

"Please don't be mad or sad you can see your friends in the holidays or something at least before your coronation. And I'm sorry for not telling you about it sooner we didn't want to take away your fun." Her mum was panicking because she was mistaking her facial expression for one of sadness, when in reality it was one of fierce joy. She was so happy she couldn't hear what her mother was saying. "Yeah yeah okay I'm a princess, cool bye" she said dashing up the stairs. Her mum sighed, saying "Was it too soon?"

No, we had to tell her sooner or later, and I would rather it be sooner than later." Her dad said, hugging her mum.

Meanwhile, upstairs...

"So I'm a princess, a princess of Spain for that matter, so... Lila's been bullying a princess? My WHOLE CLASS has been bullying, beating up and harassing a PRINCESS? YES now I can get revenge and get my happily every after. I don't want them to know yet or they'll start being nice,  and i need to expose Lila, and show them that they're on the wrong side. Honestly though, I need to thank Lila for this, she opened my eyes and showed me that all my friends were using me, and as soon as someone else offered something better, they went to her side. Ah it's getting late, I need to sleep to go to school early. Oh, I can't WAIT to tell Luka, Kagami and Juleka and to see all their expressions when Lila is exposed, ESPECIALLY Mr. 'Take the high road'. 

The next day..

At school

"What's that disgusting smell Lie-Lie?

At least one of your nicknames are accurate you little bit- thought Marinette venomously. 

"I don't know Als, but it seems to be coming from around here." She said, pointing her arm at me."
"Oh, it's Mari-Trash. No wonder it smelled so bad." She said, laughing as she walked away.
