Ever had one of those ever-lasting nerve-wrecking moments where sometimes you just wanna run away and scream, 'No!! I can't do this! I'm just a huge worthless idiot and every insult they say about me is true!' Yeah that's basically my whole life explained.

However of course this is all temporary.

But in this short period of denial, the world can and will take advantage of this in many, many ways.

In the end, nature's law always prevails: The strong and capable survive to see tomorrow, and the weak become more and more worthless in the world.

Now it's up to Marinette and Juleka to decide their fate.

Marinette, 3rd Person

For once, everyone's favorite average dark-haired high school girl is punctual, and arrived at school on time, thus catching her classmates by surprise.

'Hi Alya!' she said happily, hoping that her best friend would remember the special day, her birthday.

The brunette(Alya) who was talking to a certain blonde and a very close friend (DJWifi is present), was jolted by her best friend's early arrival. 'Eh!? Marinette!? ' She said in a nervous, giddy, tone, chuckling uneasily. 'Why are you here so early in the morning?'

For some strange reason, the ravenette felt like someone just threw a brick at her chest, shattering her frail, fragile heart into smithereens.

'They are all so used to me being that clumsy, sloppy person that when something right for once, they're all genuinely surprised.' thought our ravenette to herself.

Why did she feel so mentally vulnerable today?

Maybe because her parents, her kwami, and seemingly all of her friends have not mentioned a word about her birthday.

Still, she hid her true emotions under a fake smile she plastered on her face. 'I woke up early today! And I have a feeling that today will be a GREAT day, and nothing and nobody will be able to stop me from having the best day of the year!'

'Oh, how positive of you to say so,' An eavesdropping blonde sneered.

Marinette's grin faltered, but she was still smiling nevertheless. 'Yes, and I mean it. I hope you have a wonderful day as well,' she said meekly without a single hint of sarcasm in her tone, head tilting downwards slightly but bluebell eyes still making contact with Chloe's intimidating ocean blue one's.

'Well, this little brat seems polite today. I guess I'll ignore her for the rest of the day and let her be. Oh who am I kidding I'm Chloe! The mean popular girl everyone loves!' she said in her mind.

She scoffed. 'I don't know what you're planning, being nice and everything but there's one thing for sure,' she paused, narrowing her eyes at the ravenette. 'My day is already ruined by just being unable to ignore your existence.' With that she sashayed away with a ginger-haired girl trailing behind her.

Once they were out of sight, Alya screamed. 'What is wrong with you Mari!?'

'First you come to school early and now you're being nice to Chloe, of all people!?'

The midnight blue-haired youth replied in a quiet tone. 'Is... that a problem?'

'Is that a problem!? IS THAT A PROBLEM!? Mari it's like I don't even know you anymore!' she said and with that she stormed away.

'I thought true friends had each other's back, stick with each other through thick and thin and support each other's opinions......'

The ravenette walked to her class solemnly.

Until she heard the flapping wings of a butterfly in the silent corridor.
