Night watcher, I am Chloe Bourgeois! || Miraculous Ladybug

13: Truth be told (1)

After finally kicking a liar and an utterly cheap manipulator out of my life, I took my coffee and walked out of the cafeteria.

"Chloe!"

God dammit. I knew that voice way too well.

I turned to the way my name was called and it was, as expected, Zoe.

And here I was deliberately avoiding you.

She hurriedly approach me. No, it would be best to call it a form of running, I don't know.

"Chloe! Ha-phew! I finally catch up to you. Sorry I wasn't able to greet you yesterday."

Able is not a word to define it as it was I who was doing every possible thing to avoid you.

I don't want to get my mood foul on my first day right after the break.

"If so, why did you approach me now?"

I still have no intention on meeting you.

"I wanted to say 'welcome back'. Well, welcome back!"

It is her who is the real example of this world's all-is-well mind set.

Though I have to appreciate her for not being as all-is-well mind set as Rose. She is in the ultra pro max level.

"Hm, if you are done then I am going."

"Wait! I heard what happened this morning. Really, it really was just a coincidence."

It irked me.

"Really?" I was unable to keep my annoyance hidden, "then tell me why only Nathaniel, Julika, Rose and Sabrina's sits were changed? Why was everyone else were sitting on their same seats except them?"

"That— Everyone in the class has witnessed that most of the time akuma entered the classroom from that side of the window, so they preferred to moved students away from that sit."

" . . . "

Are you kidding me?

"Zoe, whoever comes up with this kind of idea is a ridiculous moron."

"Uh?"

"Isn't it obvious that no matter where the akuma comes from it will only go to it's target, so it actually doesn't matter where someone is sitting, if the target is hundred miles away but there is a person in one meter radius it will ignore that person and only go to its original target."

And the target only changes if the original target somehow ends up rejecting it, or the akuma just return to Hawkmoth again.

She was speechless but I continued anyway.

"By that point, how exactly is your reasoning valid?"

She was looking at me with widened eyes as if she was bestowed by a great revelation.

What? Why are you staring at me like that?

Ah, it looks like that the current bee miraculous holder doesn't even know that much.

You all are clueless, or just don't do basic research, do you?

"What?" I said with irk.

She flinched, "ah, no. That . . . "

Loss of words?

I took a breath and calmed myself.

Zoe. This person probably still loves me, but it is my class representative Dupain-cheng who hates me.

Wait. Actually, everybody here hates me except you.

I should not be so hard on her.

"I should get going."
