Smiles Hide Everything

Chapter 10

I scrolled through my feed, looking for other nasty posts. Sure enough, I found one from Lila.
Dear citizens of Paris,
I'd like to personally apologize for any trouble Ms. Marinette Dupain-Cheng has caused you. She is a criminal who needs to be stopped. If you see Marinette on the street, please find shelter and call me at (123) 456-7890. I will contact Ladybug and Chat Noir and tell them to come to your location immediately. If you happen to run into Marinette, please back away slowly until out of sight before running away as to not provoke her. Stay safe!
I'm going to kill Lila and that's final. DAMN IIIIIIIIIIIIIT!!! I checked the time and there were 15 minutes until I had to be up. I put my phone back, accidentally slamming it down. I laid down, closed my eyes, and tried to fall asleep. As I started to drift off, my alarm went off.
"Fuck you, school." I heard Tikki squeak as she rushed into my purse. I walked into my closet and grabbed the usual, except getting a black zip-up sweatshirt instead of my cardigan. I went to the bathroom, brushed my hair, and put it in a low ponytail. I walked out of the bathroom, grabbed my school stuff, and headed downstairs for breakfast. I grabbed a few croissants and headed to my balcony. I watched the sunrise as I ate my breakfast and then bolted through the house and to school as fast as I could, hoping to not be late.
As I neared the school entrance, I saw Chloe and Lila walking towards me with a determined look on their faces. I ran around them and into the school, hoping they wouldn't run after me. I ran to the classroom and sat in my seat just as Ms. Bustier started teaching the lesson for the day.
I pulled out my off-brand Air Pods and started listening to some rock songs. Soon enough, I fell asleep.
*Timeskip*
I woke up and looked around. I was sitting behind the school and Chloe and Lila were in what looked like a heated argument with each other.
"Umm, guys? I think that Marinette is awake." Fuck you, Sabrina. "Oh, so MariTrash is awake. Great."
"Chloe, don't insult trash! That's not nice!" Fuck you too, Lila.
"Fine. What am I supposed to call her then?"
"C-C-C-Chloe, m-maybe we could l-let her g- I mean, I don't know what to call her, Ms. Chloe." Stupid Chloe and her death glare.
"Sabrina, we don't need you anymore. Leave me-I mean us or I'll tell Daddy to fire your father."
"Yes, Chloe!"
"Chloe, we might need her!"
"No, Lila. So, Marinette, mind telling us why you were sleeping in class? Is it because you are completely worthless and couldn't answer any questions? Or do you think that you're too good for this class when you're really just a stuck-up little bitch?"
"Or, did you realized that you are a stupid little brat who will never have Adrien for herself because you are useless? Or did you realize that you are a pathetic piece of trash?"
"How about none? I slept because I could. You have no right to ask me that! Stop spreading lies about me because you don't want others to believe the truth! It's not fair to me or others for you to deceive people and spread lies! You know it's not right and if someone doesn't report you, I will. And, Chloe, why is your hand behind your back?"
"Ooooooooh, I'm sooooooo scared! Marinette is going to hurt me! Run, Lila!" Just then, I realized that Chloe was holding her phone in her hand and the screen was facing me. She was recording the whole conversation AND screaming to get people's attention! That pathetic motherfucker!
"Help! Marinette is attacking Chloe and me! Someone! Help! She's going to kill us because we told the truth!" Just then, Chat Noir came.
"What's happening here?"
"Chat Noir! Help! Marinette is trying to hurt us!" I stood there, shocked.
"Lila, Chloe go home. I'll take care of her."
"O-okay, Chat."
"C'mon, Lila! Don't just stand there staring at Chat with your ridiculous blush!"
"S-shut up!"
"Okay, fine, just go!" Finally, they left.
"So, Marinette, what is this all about?"
"Chat, it's not wh-"
"Don't you dare lie to me, Mari!" I flinched at the nickname.
"Oh my god, just leave me alone!"
*Adrien/Chat Noir's POV*
"Oh my god, just leave me alone!" Oh, shit, I messed up. She was about to open up to me. I shouldn't have called her Mari. Stupid nicknames.
"Wait, Marinette, please! I just want to talk!" Idiot, you've already tried that approach and it failed! Be nicer to her and then give me extra cheese later! What? Why is Plagg's voice in my head? Because you're transformed right now so I'm inside your miraculous and technically inside your head, but that doesn't matter! Hurry up and save Marinette!" From who and I supposed to save her? From herself, Adrien. How dense are you? I'm NOT dense!
By the time that I was done with my conversation with Plagg, Marinette had already run across the street and was heading towards the bakery. I ran to her, grabbed her around the waist, extended my staff, and went to the roof of Marinette's house/bakery.
"Marinette, I..."
"C-Chat, what are you d-doing?" We stared into each other's eyes as I felt a blush spread across my face. I realized I was still holding her waist and I immediately dropped my arm. What am I doing?! Marinette is just a friend!
"I'm sorry! I-I-I didn't mean it Marinette, really, I'm sorry."
"I get it, Chat. Just let me go to my room." Marinette started walking to the trapdoor to her room
"But, Marinette, please! Will you at least be on patrol?" She paused. Oops. I guess we both forgot that I know that she's Ladybug.
"I don't know, Chat. Just leave me alone."
"Yes, milady"
"Don't call me that."
"Yes, Bugaboo."
"Don't call me that either."
"Yes, ma'am."
"Fine! Call me milady! Just go away!" Marinette went into her room and I heard her lock it. I sat down on one of the chairs and crossed my arms.
What the hell is wrong with me?
