Miraculous Colours

Bitte tötet mich nicht, Teil 2

Ich habe einfach den Post von Amino hier eingefügt, ist auf Englisch. Tut mir leid.

Hey there, fellow Miraculers! It's Geeeny and this is my contribution to the #STHShippingChallenge.
I got the idea when I saw the spoilers with Rena Rouge and couldn't help but feel bad for Lila, so I thought about what could happen if Marinette decided to give her a second chance. Maybe I'll do more chapters, but my mood changes constantly and I'm lazy.
Anyways!
It's the first time I really write something in english, so if you find mistakes or things I could do better, please comment so I can correct the concerned parts.
But beware! I don't tolerate homophobia or ship hate! So, let's begin:

I'm no Liar.
I'm a trickster, artist, actor!
I just want a good show.
I want to enchant you,
by little stories and half-truths,
By amazing fairy tales
that makes me seem brand new.
I make you marvel and wonder,
what more could there be?

But she had to ruin it. She couldn't just let me trick a little, no, she wanted to see me trip over my own words, fall from my throne of tales and shatter, so she could sweep up the broken pieces and be a hero once again. Ladybug. God, how I despised her! And yet I was burning with envy. It wasn't even her kitschy superpowers that nourished the fire in my chest. What I really desired was this aura she was blessed with. She only had to smile into the crowd and everybody fell for her.
Well, not me! Never again I would make this mistake. Who wanted to be friends with a bug like her anyway...
Suddenly my legs stopped moving and I raised my eyes on where I was about to go. The school building in front of me towered into the sky, bearing my biggest fear in its indifferent walls.
I swallowed. I had planned for this, how to behave now that my illusions had fallen, but... I was scared. No, I was shaking in terror.
I'd given everything I had to turn back time and avoid being akumatized. Of course, I wasn't the only one to loose their will to Hawkmoth, but, well, I was definitely the first to be akumatized because of lying to everyone and getting humiliated by Paris' greatest hero.
Good job, Lila, you messed up again.
Firmed I shook my head and cleared my mind. I couldn't change what already had happened, but I could still do what I was best at. Cheat and deceive like there's no tomorrow! I would simply act like I didn't care when they started laughing at me and called me Volpina or stuff. I would be fine! That was the thought I clung on to as I entered the school with a strong, determined mask on my face and the students in the hall started their cuttingly whispering. I would be fine! I would be fine! I would...

Hell, I was sunk.

•••••••••••••••••

To be honest, it wasn't that bad until the end of the last period. Well, Adrien came to me as soon as I entered the class room, but I hurried to send him away. He either would have been keen on yelling at me or - even worse! - feel pity for me. I could handle everything except that, so better safe than sorry. Additionally... every time I loooked at the boy I'd been so obsessed with yesterday... I only felt angry. It was his fault too! He and Ladybug were the reason I'd been akumatized. So both of them deserved my contempt!
Most of the other people just ignored me or contented their selves with whispering "Volpina" under their breathes when I passed by, but all in all... It went pretty well, given the circumstances. Too well.
I should had have known, come to think of it.
As soon as I reached the steps down to freedom a high-pitched coughing caught my attention and this blonde girl from my new class stepped in my way. Her little redhead sticked on to her like she had done the whole day, but additionally the giant muscleman and two girls from other classes joined Blondie.
"Oh my, if it isn't Volpina herself who is honouring us with her presence.", she said derisively. "She's SUCH a great hero, isn't she? With all these POWERS and ABILITIES! We're sooooo lucky to have her, right, Sabrina?"
Redhead nodded eagerly and sent a mocking glance at me, clinging onto her friend (what was it again? Chleo? No, Chloé!).
This was okay. I was prepared for this! Who would be able to handle a situation like this if it wasn't me? I would simply hide my fear, my pain and sigh annoyed, while rolling my eyes and looking gorgeous. Then I would backfire, laughing at Chloé for being so dumb to believe everything I told. She'd be surprised and I could continue with more minor attacks before strutting away and leaving her and her dumb friends behind. That was my plan and it was absolutely perfect! If it wasn't for me.
I swallowed and wanted to say something, but my lips sticked together and wouldn't open, no matter what. All I could see was the park behind Chloé, the park where I waited for Adrien. I saw myself running out with tears in my eyes, saw myself break down in front of this damn pillar. I couldn't move, couldn't respond, I just stood there and felt horrible.
I somehow managed to turn my head away from the park and Princess Blondie, but now I just stared to the ground and this didn't help at all. Chloé and her subjects started to laugh hysterically and the giant - Kim? - almost fell down the stairs.
"No more lies for us, Lila? Don't you want to call Jagged Stone to sing you a song?", one girl yelled laughing and the other one nodded excited. "Yeah, why don't you take your private jet back to Italy, super-liar?"
My mouth turned into a thin line and my hands into fists. I wanted to say something, I really wanted, but... I couldn't. For the first time in my life I had no clue how to talk my way out. They turned my own words against me, took away the only weapon I had.
Chloé smiled maliciously as she came closer until she was directly in front of my. Her eyes glowed in excitement, she really enjoyed stamping me into the ground.
"Listen, Lila, I'm sure you think you are very clever. But you need to know that I am Chloé Bourgeois, and I don't tolerate newbies like you running around and trying to get some attention. Because, no matter what you tell others or yourself, in reality you just stay the pathetic, disgusting Liar everyone knows you are."
I ducked a little with every word she spat on me, not capable of responding something.
She laughed without joy and took a step back.
"Just look at you! Yesterday you were determined to conquer the whole school - and Adriens heart! - at one strike, but today? Where's all your creativity now?"
"Probably where your brain is, Chloé!", a sharp voice yelled and I almost jumped in the air out of surprise. A blue haired girl stood upstairs, her fists at her hip and her fierce eyes directly looking at Chloé.
Blondie and the Blondie-Fanclub gasped in shock, shaken by the fact that somebody dared to talk like that to their idol. I gasped too, but out of delight. Heavens seemed to have sent an angel at my rescue.
"How dare you, Marinette?!", Chloé hissed and the angel descended from the upper steps down at my level. Angrily she poked her finger into Chloés chest and said: "You are in no position to look down on her! Just look behind you! You can't take on anybody without at least Sabrina at your back! Or is it more your feet? You don't seem to see them at eye level."
"Well, I absolutely don't see YOU at eye level, Breadhead! I am the mayors daughter!"
"Oh my gooood, that changes everything!" Marinette said and rolled her eyes. "Why didn't you tell us earlier? Please tell your father I'm sorry, but it isn't his fault! Nobody could have known you would be born."
Again a big gasp went around and Chloé began to pant hectically.
"How... What... You...! Urgh! Just take Liar-Lila and get lost!"
She struggled to retain her composure and took a step back.
"Just so you know, this girl next to you is a two faced snake! Why would you defend somebody that has been akumatized because of lying?"
She laid her hand on my shoulder and I almost jumped again.
"That pretty ironic, considering you were the one who caused literally 50% of the akumas and yourself lied to Ladybug about Vanisher!"
"W-What? I... I didn't do that! Ladybug and I are BFFs!"
"Funny! That's the exact same thing Lila said yesterday. Maybe Ladybug comes to visit you too in order to rebuke you...?"
"Urgh! As if! You two are just a ridiculous waste of time!"
Chloé turned around at such speed, a little scream escaped Sabrinas throat before she hurried to follow her friend downstairs. The others did the same, but much less determined.
"You two sure fit together!", Chloé yelled as she reached the street and turned around one last time. "Breadhead and Super-Liar, what a team! Birds of a feather flock together!"
She jumped around again and walked on, so focused on glaring at us over her shoulder that she didn't see where she was going. With a loud noise she crashed into the trash can in front of her and I couldn't help but laughing at the face she made.
"Obviously!", Marinette responded to Chloé's last attack and joined in, while the bullies scrammed.
It felt so good to laugh with her. Every bad feeling from before was gone, I felt so light I wanted to fly!
"Hi!", Marinette said when we finally stopped laughing. "I am Marinette! Want to come over and do homework together?"
I beamed at her in delight.
"I'd be glad to!"
