Chapter 6

"And now, it's been a few days, after Ladybug's fight with the Commoner, the board and I have decided to disengage the lockdown. All normal activities will proceed, such as school and work. However, the police force will dispatch men to busy and crowded public areas such as the Parks, schools, and the Lourve. Any suspicious activity will immediately be reported to the police."

The mayor on the screen did a swiping action across his throat, while wiping his brow. The screen fizzled and switched to an ad.

Marinette's parents looked at each other, worry in their eyes. It's been two days. Where had she gone to?

"Class, I want you to take out your literature text, we are going to pick up where we left off. Did anyone see Adrien and Marinette?" Miss Bustier asked, her eleven shaped face tilted in question

"No, Miss, we haven't heard from Adrien or Marinette," Nino answered, his cap dropping somehow.

"Well," Miss Bustier tried, as she looked at the two best friends of Adrien and Marinette. "Tell me if they contact you. We can't afford them missing anymore lessons."

Alya glanced at Nino, who looked up to her. He was as dejected as her. They both haven't heard from Adrien or Marinette since that day, and they were at a loss of what to do.

"Oh, please. I bet Marinette just woke up late again," they heard a shrill voice said. Both looked up to see Chloé addressing them.

"Wait, you- " Nino was cut off by Alya covering his mouth.

"We'll confront her later," she hissed. "There's too many people here."

"Hm? What's that? What are you two love birds talking about?"

Alya turned to glare at the mayor's Daughter, and saw a pin in the shape of a bee in her hair. Her miraculous!

Now it was Alya's turn to stutter. She couldn't have let her miraculous be in plain sight! That's ridiculous!

"Take a picture, it'll last longer," came Chloé's nonchalant reply, from seeing Alya gape at her.

She and Nino definitely would confront her later.

***

Chloé knew her miraculous was in view. She intended it to be that way. Pollen had told her not to do so, but she knew better. If Hawkmoth had Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculouses, he was bound to be on the look out for more superheroes.

And she would let him catch her.

Almost a foolproof plan, he would be showing her his lair, and Queen Bee would save the day!

Chloé hid her smirk, as she listened to Miss Bustier drone on about the literature text. Beyond boring. Did daddy really lift the lockdown just to let her listen to some ancient dialogue someone had with a monk?

She tried to ignore the glares Alya and Nino were giving her, but she couldn't resist it any longer.

She snapped around and gave a Low hiss. "What?"

Alya's thundery hazel grey eyes stared back. "You, me, and Nino, at lunch," she mouthed, pointing to them in turn.

Chloé felt her anger burn. What right did this Daughter of a cook who worked in her daddy's hotel have to order her to meet her during lunch?

She nearly mouthed back a "in your dreams", but not before Pollen tapped her from her bag.

The kwamiis big luminous blue eyes insisted that she go, and so, Chloé gave a sigh, and nodded towards Alya, not missing the surprised look she got in return.
