     "I'm late for school again!" Cried marinette as she ran down the sidewalk. Under her right arm she carried her sketchbook and in her left hand she carried her backpack. Marinette wasn't exactly the "always getting to school on time" type, she was more of the "one or two or ten minutes late" type.

     "Marinette! Slow down! You're going to give me motion sickness!" Mari's kwami, tikki, which allowed her to transform into ladybug, stuck her head out of Mari's purse.

     Mari stopped to breathe. "I'm sorry tikki. It's just that-" Mari was cut off by the sound of the loud school bell at the other end of the street. "Tikki hide!" She ran for the entrance doors to the school.

     As she stepped into her home room class, she noticed that everyone, even Nino who was sometimes even later than her, was seated. Chloe stood up. "You're late again?!" She shrieked as she pointed out her index finger.

     Mari was confused "I got here just as the bell rang. I can't possibly be late." She spoke shyly but with sass.

     Chloe motioned for her best friend, Sabrina, to stand up. Sabrina cleared her throat. "According to the email that was sent out yesterday, all students were informed that the bell was five minutes behind schedule. So yes, you were late!" Both Chloe and Sabrina planted a heel on the ground and spun around to sit down. No one except Mari noticed the smirk on Chloe's face.

     The previous day, Chloe and Sabrina snuck into the classroom, opened the staff computer and deleted Mari's email address from the sending list. Chloe practically lives off of making Mari's life miserable.

     Stay strong Mari, you've got this she thought to herself. Instead of the usual holding back tears, she decided to walk to her desk with her head high. Nothing, not even Chloe, could bring Mari down today, for today was the one year anniversary of ladybug.

     Alya, Mari's best friend and the creator of the ladyblog, knew this of course. As Mari sat down, alya started blabbing on and on about how she has met ladybug several times. Mari tried hard to keep her attention on Alya, but she couldn't help but look over at adrien, her crush, every few seconds. However her daydreaming was interrupted by a loud crash.
