A Sudden Return 3/3✅

Miraculous Ladybug: 4

Chloe came inside the class with a smile, then she replaced it with a serious face.

Marinette hadn't got the chance to tell her friend what she had found out yesterday, but she was hoping today she would.

Chloe silenced the class, as if she was the teacher. "I have got an announcement!"

"Another party?" Ivan asked, rolling his eyes.

"No, I have come with news." Chloe stepped forward, all eyes on her. "I have been investigating on who let Hawk Moth out of jail along with Matthew, and I have found out who."

All eyes went wide, but Marinette's went wider. She suddenly remembered the words that man had told her.

You have to put the blame on someone else's so no one will suspect you.

She knew what Chloe was doing, but interrupting her would be ruse according to their teacher.

Then Chloe held up a picture. The class gasped, and turned to the one person shown on the picture.

"L-Lucas?" Sabrina stuttered, then she glared at him. So it really was him?! And he was just making up the whole Grandma stuff? Ugh!

"I caught Lucas going in police station at night," Chloe continued. "At first I didn't know who it was, and I thought nothing was wrong, so I just let it go. But after hearing that Hawk Moth and Matthew had escaped, I started the investigation."

"Liar!" Marinette stood up. She had had it. She didn't care if she was interrupting. She didn't care if every eyes were on her now. "Chloe, you are such a sick liar!"

"Marinette... What are you talking about?" Chloe frowned at her. You better sit back down cause I don't need brats like you ruining my plan!

"You got no proof," Marinette blurted, the class surprised that she was being on Lucas's side.

"That's the reason I'm lying?" Chloe glared at her. "Alright. I'll give you proof." She then turned to the door. "Roger Cop, you can come in now."

As soon as Roger Cop stepped inside the classroom, Marinette sat back down afraid that Chloe has got some dirty tricks up her sleeve.

"Roger Cop, tell them it was Lucas."

"It was Lucas!" Roger Cop mumbled. He looked sort of weird, as if he was sick or something. He had his head down, not looking up. And when he did look up, he would do it for about 5 seconds before bending his head again.

"So there," Chloe smiled. Ha! Marinette's beat that!

"But I didn't," Lucas quickly stood up to defend himself. "You probably made up the whole story about seeing me at night."

"Lucas, stop trying to lie. See, Roger Cop said it was you," Chloe told him, pointing an accusing finger at him. "So stop."

"But I'm not lying!" Lucas yelled, still fighting it. "Why is everyone thinking that it's me?! I didn't do anything! I don't even know who Matthew is!"

"Lucas, come with me!" Roger Cop said, leaving the classroom.

"But I didn't!" Lucas yelled once more. Chloe pointed at the door, muttering a "you're so dead," to him.

"Argh!" Lucas ran out of the classroom. The class weren't so sure if Roger Cop had gotten ahold of him, or if he had ran out of the school as well.

"Chloe, you're the liar, and one day I'm going to expose your true self!" Marinette muttered. "Lucas, wait!" She ran out the door as well.

"Sabrina," Chloe sat down next to her, "don't you see how Marinette is running after Lucas, and how she stood up for him? She must care about him a lot!"

Sabrina didn't look her way. She was still trying to figure out whether Lucas was lying or not.

"She cares about him a lot that she must like him in that sort of way." Chloe said that a bit too loudly, on purpose. She received glances from Sabrina and Adrien. "Besides why would Marinette do that? Why would she be on Lucas's side?"

Adrien frowned. Why would Marinette be on his side? He stood up, and ran out the door as well. The teacher hadn't even started class and already students were leaving.

-

"Yes, a boy that got accused of nothing he did! Haha. Chloe, you really did a nice job of getting me a villain.

"Lucas!" Marinette then stopped. A light came over where Lucas was sitting. It flashed, making her fall back on her back.

Lucas stood up, and looked back at Marinette. He let out his hand, picking her up from the ground. "Are you okay?"

"What was that?" Marinette frowned. Something then flashed at them, and they looked over to a person running off, with a camera on his hands.

"What happened? Why isn't her feeling like he used to before? Ugh! It's that Marinette again!

"I'm fine," Marinette stood up, realizing that someone had taken a picture of them. What was he going to do with the picture anyway? So she didn't bother.

"Hey Marinette." Adrien touched her shoulder. He gave Lucas a glare. "Come back to class."

Lucas suddenly got mad all over, and ran off away from them.

Yes, I can feel it. I can feel it! Fly away my little feather akuma, and evilize him.

"What was that about?" Adrien asked, finding his arms.

"It was nothing." But then she caught it. She caught the feather floating in the air, and she knew she wasn't the only one who saw it.

"Quick, it's heading towards Lucas!" Adrien yelled, running after the feather, Marinette following.

"Gah, how do we stop it?" Marinette huffed. "Try to make Lucas calm down!"

They reached the boy, who kicked a bottle on the ground. Lucas turned to see the both of them. They were telling him something, but he didn't hear, nor did he care.

He realized he was still holding a pencil from class. He snapped it in two, but then something happened. A feather went inside the broken pencil, and he fell down to his knees.

"It got him," Marinette backed away.

Vex! Welcome back, Vex!
