Adrian couldn't believe what Marinette had done didn't she understand the high road she should have just listened to him. He knew these things as in the fashion world this was the norm but Marinette just couldn't let go. If she remained like this there was no way she would be able to go up in the fashion world.
"Students, would anyone like to volunteer for class president?" asked Miss Bustier.
Lila shakily raised her hand, "if everyone's okay with it, I would like to run for class president." She gave them all a shy smile.
Everyone in the class felt better after all Marinette hadn't been a good president in a while she would no longer make things for the class. Nor would she organise picnics for them like she used to. The reason they hadn't complained was they hadn't wanted Chloe to become president and no one else wanted to run. And with Marinette resigning and Chloe leaving for New York they had thought one of them would have to be president. They had forgotten about Lila and hadn't wanted to recommend her as she had so many illnesses and they didn't want to trouble her. But if Lila wanted to do it they would be very happy as she was more competent than Marinette and most of all she wasn't petty and jealous like Marinette. She also had very big connections, if Marinette could prepare things for them like picnics, which had just been mediocre if they were being honest now. Lila would surely organise wonderful things for them as they were her friends.
"Of course Lila , I am sure no one here has a problem with that. Isn't that right, guys?" said Alya.
"Yes, dudette."
"Yupp"
"Of course"
Lila smiled " thank you guys I won't disappoint you."
Clap clap
"Well I am glad that we could get that all worked out so quickly. So Lila, who will be your deputy president?" asked miss bustier
"Well if you don't mind Alya?" asked Lila turning to her bff
"Absolutely Lila" Alya replied.
"Well then let's get the lessen started" said Miss bustier turning towards the board
"Miss bustier" said Adrian raising his hand
"Yes, Adrian?"
"Well Marinette still hasn't returned, shouldn't she also be in the class if we are starting the class." said Adrian
Miss bustier sighed, "what am I going to do with her."
Lila raised her hand.
"Yes, Lila?"
"I could go and search for Marinette. After all it's my duty as class president to help my fellow classmates even if we may not see eye to eye." Lila said, smiling charmingly.
"Aww Lila girl you are so sweet Marinette would never" said her bff (Alya)
"Sure Lila, and make sure Marinette knows if she pulls this stunt she will be facing serious punishments." said miss bustier. She was pleased with Lila, she knew how to be a good class president and set a good example.
"But miss bustier I am sure Marinette was just upset due to me, she shouldn't be punished just because she was sad and a little angry." said Lila sadly.
"Oh Lila girl you are giving Marinette way more credit than she deserves. She has been nothing but kind to her yet she continues to treat you this way. Girl you must be firm or else she is just going to walk over you." said Alya looking her in the eye
Lila nodded and left the classroom to find Marinette.
Meanwhile
Instead of roaming around the school, Marinette had decided to go to the restroom because she didn't trust the school's management nor Lila. The restroom was the best place to be.
Its going more perfectly than I thought, about now Lila would have somehow convinced the class that she could be the class president and the spongers that the class were they would surely be fantasizing about the wonderful things they are now going to be treated to.
Thud
Lila opened the door to the restroom.
Once inside she closed the door and let her true smile show.
"Well Marinette, how does it feel to be dethroned by the people you love?"
"Well I wouldn't know that Lila, would I now?"
Marinette smiled her usual smile but this time her eyes didn't sparkle with happiness. Instead something in her eyes gave Lila a bad feeling, but she ignored it afterall she was the class president now, she had the class as her friends. So why would she give up when everything was within her reach.
"Afterall no one had dethroned me, as if I ever had a throne to begin with. No, the only thing I did was cut my losses." continued Marinette then she smirked.
"Though I am curious to how you would handle things now" said Marinette.
"Shouldn't we be returning to class or are you going to do something dramatic again?" asked Marinette.
