As soon as Emilie closed the door, the door bell rang again. Out of frustration, she swung the door opened.

"Hello, is Adrien home?"

Emilie glared at her bad luck. Another girl?! First day of school and Adrien already has two girls coming to visit him?! I made a huge mistake!

"Chloe, I thought I told you not to come here anymore," Adrien huffed, making Emilie sign in relief.

Good. He doesn't like her...
Of course, he likes only Marinette...

"Adrien, I know you didn't mean it," Chloe smiled as she held out the box. "I prepared you a little something."

"Whatever it is, please, I don't want it."

Chloe stomped her foot. "What do you mean by that?! Marinette came here, I saw her, and she gave you something too. You took it, so why won't you take mine?!"

Emilie sighed, knowing what was going on here. "Thank you, er, Chloe, for this." She took the box, "but please if my son tells you not to bother him anymore, turn you must respect that!"

"What do you mean?!" Chloe yelled, wrecking the box and what ever was inside. "He'll ignore me but not Marinette?! Do you know who I am?! I am Chloe Bourgeois, daughter of the Mayor!"

Emilie gasped. "So you are! Well, now I understand why Adrien doesn't want to talk to you. Please, if you're going to he rude, you might as well take your leave!" And she shut the door.

For once Adrien felt glad and satisfied at what his mother did.

"I'll be up my room," He muttered, before walking up the stairs.

"But... But Mr. Bourgeois, I don't have the money right now. Please give me more time..."

Adrien heard the voice from upstairs. He was deciding whether to go down the stairs or not.

"Mrs. Agreste, I cannot wait anymore. You must simply give up your job if you can't fulfill your payment!"

That voice of that man... He would never forget it. That Mayor, cruel, always wanting more money. Adrien couldn't help but he angry.

"My daddy said to pay him back, you must do as he said!"

Then came the voice of another person... A girl. Adrien took a little peek, seeing the blonde girl, and her father, the Mayor, in the living room.

After a little while a door was heard, shutting close. Adrien decided to walk downstairs, and saw his mother on the couch, face covered with her hands, but he could hear the little cries she was making.

Was this his fault too?...

--------

"Stop right there, Dupain-Cheng!"

Marinette groaned as she turned around. "Oh Chloe, what brings you here at my sight?"

"Stop acting all nice, Mari-trash!" Chloe huffed, her two minions behind her, glaring at Marinette. "We are alone in the hallways."

"Which means we better get to class before we're late," Marinette exclaimed, clutching onto her books.

"What a nerd," Chloe laughed. "Always trying to be early for classes now, huh."

"At least this proofs I'm way smarter than you," Marinette rolled her eyes. "In fact I'm not even sure anymore if you have a brain up there or not."

"Mari-trash!" Chloe glared. "How do you like the little nickname I gave you?" She smirked.

Marinette chuckled. "I'm quite pleased actually. If you hated me so much, Chloe Bourgeois, you wouldn't give me any attention. But you do give me attention, so much attention that you've decided to give me a nickname. I wonder what your nickname should be." Marinette pretended to think, while she laughed in her mind.

Chloe had had enough. She turned to the two girls behind her. Sabrina, of course, who has always been following her around since day one. And Lila, who had met Chloe on the first day of sixth grade.

Marinette was surprised at her words. She backed away as Sabrina and Lila walked up to her, grinning. She knew she was out of luck when her back hit against the wall.

"No where to hide now, huh," Chloe laughed. "This will teach you."

Marinette laughed along. "Chloe, I know you're not all smart, but I expected you to be strong, due to all the bullying you be been doing. Why won't you come and fight me? What? Afraid you'll lose?"

Chloe clenched her fists. "That's not true. I just don't want to get my hands dirty by touching trash!"

"Well then that explains it," Marinette chuckled. "Chloe Bourgeois is afraid of fighting me. She's too scared that she even calls other girls to fight me."

"I am not!" Chloe hollered.

"Chloe, be quiet. Someone might hear you and know that you're bullying me." Marinette put her stuff down on the floor. "But if you really want to fight me, then come. I'm not afraid of any of you!"

"Marinette, you really try me!" Chloe let go of her bag, the bag hitting the floor. "But if you really want to see, I'll show you my fighting skills."

Marinette smirked. As expected she be stupid, and falls right into the trap! Ha!

Just as Chloe reach to slap Marinette, the bluenette let out a sudden scream that shocked the other girls. They heard footsteps coming.

"Marinette, as expected you're a coward!" Chloe smirked. "You are calling for help, you weak, pathetic girl!"

"You four! What is going on her?!" The heard the voice of Mrs. Bustier. "You're not I'm class, but this is where you choose to be?"

"Oh, Mrs." Marinette ran to her. "I didn't choose to be here. Those girls forced me. If you hadn't come, they would have beat me to death!"

Chloe glared at her, realizing this was her plan all along. Ha! Marinette didn't have a strength to fight!

"Chloe, Lila and Sabrina, report to the principals office!" Mrs. Bustier exclaimed in an angry tone.

Chloe huffed. "You do know who I am right? I am the Mayor's daughter. How would daddy feel to hear that her dear daughter got sent to the office, and what would he do to the one that sent her there?!"

Mrs. Bustier didn't seem to stop though. "You may be the Mayor's daughter, but in school you are a student, and you are expected to follow the rules and obey the adults here!"

Chloe gritted her teeth. "Seems like dear Mrs. Bustier isn't afraid of my father. You are not afraid it the bad things that will come upon you?"

"Chloe, just listen to Mrs. Bustier and go to the office."

Chloe gasped when she heard the voice. "A-Adrien, it's not how it looks like. Marinette is just tricking all of you. She forced us to fight her!"

"Why would I do that, Chloe?" Marinette asked, looking away. "Why would I want to fight you three girls?! Why risk my life in danger?!"

"Oh, so you are admitting we're a better fighter than you?"

"No," Marinette chuckled. "I'm just saying I would get into trouble for almost killing the daughter of the Mayor!"
