Adrien and I were walking to English when the title of our school contest came up.
"Have you auditioned for the singing competition yet?" Adrien asked me. I nodded.
"Yeah, I got number seven. A bunch of other people are in the singing competition, but this one is big for me. There are going to be really talented judges there, and if they like me enough, they could sign me a record label."
Adrien smiled at me. "Then both of our careers could skyrocket."
"Exactly," I said, pointing a finger. "that is why this is super important. I can't miss it or my career as a signer could be ruined."
What I didn't know, is that Sabrina had recorded my entire conversation and was listening it over with Chloe. "Well, we can't let them become the power couple, now can we? We're just going to have to wreck it for her..." Chloe sneered.
"We could try sabotaging her performance." Sabrina suggested.
"Or we could try sabotaging her performance!" Chloe said in a wow-I'm-so-brilliant sort of way.
"Figure out how to sabotage and get back to me before tonight."

.................. ...................

            It was 5 hours before show time. I brushed my blonde hair back and waved to Savannah as she entered the dressing room. I took a swig of from my water bottle and stared out onto the empty stage right before Sabrina showed up.
       "Adrien, I need your help with the lighting and the dancers are missing!" Sabrina cried, already turning around and dragging me with her. At the sudden impact, my water accidentally fell from my hands and water splashed all over the fog machine.
      "Sabrina!" I cried. Savannah had to use the fog machine for her part in the show! This meant everything to her! But Sabrina kept tugging me away. She showed me Savannah's backup dancers rooms which were empty. Then she made me look at the lighting.
       "Savannah wanted it super bright, but it's super dark!" Sabrina cried out. "We have to fix this!"
   So the next five hours were spent with me trying to fix everything Sabrina told me to, only problem was, the fog machine was broken and Sav's backup dancers were gone.
       "Ten minutes to show time! Adrien!"
  I turned around and gasped. Savannah looked stunning. Her hair was done up with crystals and sapphires, and her dress was a long dark purple one strap, and her boots were a deeper shade of violet outlines with glitter.
       "Sav, you look, amazing." I stuttered. She smiled at me, but I could sense she was worried. "What is it?" I asked, placing my arm around her shoulder.
       "My backup dancers aren't anywhere! I have been looking for them and I can't find them-"
   "SAVANNAH!"
      Me and Savannah turned to see Adele Saver, a girl in our class who had always dreamed of having a voice like Savannah's, stormed up to us.
    She pointed an angry finger in Sav's face. "You think you're so much more better than me? That you can just wow away the judges with a snap of your fingers? Well, you're wrong Savannah!"
    "What are you talking about?" Savannah asked, her eyes growing wide. "Adele, I wouldn't-"
"I'm going to prove to you that I'm way better than you are! And your little boyfriend, too!" I felt my cheeks blush. It had been a while since anyone had thought that me and Sav were dating.
Adele started walking away and Savannah tried to go after her but got pulled to the side of the stage. "Three minutes, people!" The producer shouted out.
I hugged Savannah good luck then ran to the side stages.
Chloe joined me. "Don't worry, Adriekins," she said sweetly. "I'll make sure that Savannah gets taken care of. Thanks for helping us sabotage her performance!" I gaped at her once her words sunk in.
I helped Chloe sabotage Savannah's performance?!

.............. .................

            I ran down the corridors as fast as I could. Tears were already dripping off my cheeks. After I had made it to the exit door, I crouched down and just let it all out. Tears filled my hands and I cried and cried and cried. I had just yelled at my idol about something that probably wasn't even true.
        "I'll never be like Savannah..." I whispered.
    Ms. Jealousy,
       "What? Who's there?" I asked. The name felt familiar to me...
  I get the feeling of sadness coming from you, and disappointment. I'll help you get rid of Savannah, but in return you must bring me Snowdrop and Cat Noir's miraculous. Do we have a deal?
      "Anything to get rid of that brat!"
My hair turned from black to a dark purple, and my clothes changed into a full neon green and purple suit. A black mask covered my face and I felt my fingers start to prickle. Tossing my hand out to the side, a shot of burning green fire shot out, destroying the wall.
       I smiled to myself. Now is the time to destroy!

.................. .................

"Now presenting, Savannah Ellabell!"
I tried gulping back my fears, but they kept swarming back up my throat, threatening to unleash... My lunch.
Suddenly the floor started moving and I gasped. Then I realized it was the elevator built in the stage, making me rise up on the stage.
Deep breaths, Sav. I told myself. You'll impress the judges and everything will be okay. Your career will skyrocket!
I rose up onto the stage and took a deep breath and watched the crowd cheer. It wasn't the crowd that made me nervous, it was the judges. I couldn't see where they were, but I could tell they were there.
The first couple beats to my song came on and I opened my mouth to sing.
BOOM!
     My head whipped around so fast that I almost lost my balance. I gaped in horror at the scene. The fog machine was swirling and the clouds were so thick I couldn't see the band. Everyone in the crowd started fleeing, and I started to run off he stage, but a rope snapping sound made me stop.
       I looked up. One of the spotlights was coming down from the ceiling, and it was aiming towards me...
     Before I could do anything, the impact hit me so hard. I fell on the ground, the spotlight on top of me, and watched in horror as the fog machine enveloped around me.
      There was no escape. My arms were held down by the spotlight and I didn't know where Stella was.
     I couldn't hear anything. I could hear people screaming my name, but that was so blurry. I felt water trickling down my neck and didn't realize it was the fire extinguishers up on top of the ceiling pouring down rain.
        "Help!" I screamed. I couldn't move! My heart beat swiftly in my chest and  I started to panic. Where did everyone go? Why wasn't anyone helping me?
       "Aww, look!" That voice.
    Where had I heard that voice from before?
  I looked up slowly to see the face of Adele. Only now, she had been akumatized. And in her hand, she held a giant ball of green fire.
       And I had a feeling that it wasn't part of the show...
