The bell rang, waking Lila up from her boredom. She quickly grabbed her bag and wanted to leave class, but Miss Bustier was quick to stop her.

"Yes?" Lila looked up at her with a confused face.

"Lila, you slept while I was teaching class, and for the paper work I asked everyone to do, you were only able to answer one question!" Miss Bustier glared at her. "I'm going to have to ask you to stay and redo it all!"

"I..." Lila looked back at the front door, seeing Adrien walking out of the class with Marinette. She then turned back to Miss Bustier. "Can I use the bathroom first? I promise I'll come back, and if I don't, I'll do double of what I have to do!"

Miss Bustier thought about it, before she nodded. "Leave your bag here."

Lila sighed and placed her bag on top of her desk, before she headed out of the class. She opened her mouth to call out for Adrien, but watched instead as Adrien pulled Marinette inside the locker room.

What are they doing?

Lila followed secretly. She peeked slowly inside the locker room, trying to overhear their conversation but not get caught either.

"Is there a problem, Adrien?" Marinette asked while she opened her locker, searching for something inside of it.

"I... I have something very important to tell you," Adrien took a deep breath, as if getting prepared to tell turn biggest secrets in the entire world.

"Yes, go on..." Marinette frowned, facing him again as she had pulled out a notebook from her locker.

"Do you still... Like like me?" Adrien suddenly blurted. Marinette blushed as she remembered her sudden situation, where she was currently dating Chat but was slowly falling back for Adrien.

"What... What's that supposed to mean?!" There was no way Marinette could lie, but she couldn't betray Chat like this either.

"I mean... I just wanted to tell you that I already... Have someone else," Adrien looked at her face, waiting to see her reaction like Plagg had told him.

"Oh..." Marinette tried not to look disappointed. She was a big failure at that, though. She quickly looked down at the floor, not wanting Adrien to see how face looked like.

"Yeah.. I... I like Ladybug!"

Marinette widened her eyes as she looked back at Adrien. "Ladybug??!!"

"Why do you look so surprised?"

"No, it's just that... I just thought that maybe you would like someone from one of your classes or something. Guess I was wrong, haha," Marinette quickly shut her locker, before stepping away from Adrien. "So, um, I'll see you later... Tomorrow... Yeah, bye!" She quickly raced out of the locker room, so fast that she didn't even see Lila standing there.

Lila clenched her fists as she started heading back to class. Adrien liked Ladybug?! Seems like Ladybug gave her the more reasons to hate her!

"Can you believe it, Tikki?!" Marinette cried out again as she flopped down on her bed. "Adrien doesn't like me, but he loves Ladybug. Wait, I'm Ladybug, so technically he likes me!... I just..."

"Marinette, hold up," Tikki sighed as she flew up to her Chosen. "What about Chat?"

Marinette groaned once Tikki asked her that. "Well... I mean, Chat doesn't even know that Marinette is Ladybug. If I ever tell him, he's going to hate me, thinking that I was playing him. But Adrien, he's... I just... Tikki, what do I do?!"

"If you liked Adrien, then why did you even decide to date Chat?! What, we're you trying to forget about Adrien because you thought he didn't like you?!" Tikki glared at her. "What if you hurt Chat's feelings. You know you he already rejected him as Ladybug?! Who would he turn to?!"

"I.. I just..."

"Whatever. It's time for patrol anyway," Tikki looked the other way. "Just say the words, Marinette."

~~~

"Oh hey Chat." Ladybug waved at her partner that had arrived before her.

Chat Noir turned to her, and then quickly looked back. "L-Ladybug, I have something to tell you..."

"That you're dating Marinette?" Ladybug blurted. "Yeah, you already told me that." Why did she even say that??

"What no, that's not it." Chat Noir stood up from where he had been sitting, and started walking up to her. "I just... Wanted to say that..."

"Hopefully there won't be any akumas today," Ladybug interrupted him walking away from him. Gosh Chat, stop coming closer. "I have so many things to do, I don't need a distraction!"

Chat looked at her with disappointment in his eyes. Ladybug sighed and turned to him again. "Alright, what do you ha-"

Before she could finish her question, she felt something on her lips. She felt Chat Noir pull her closer as he deepened the kiss. She couldn't believe it, but... She was kissing back.

Soon Chat Noir broke the kiss with force, regret filling his eyes, like he shouldn't have done that. He gulped as he looked away, muttering an apology before taking off.

Ladybug frowned at what had just happened. She placed her hand on her chest, filling her heart pounding so hard. Then she widened her eyed in realization.

Chat Noir just cheated on me... With me!
