Breaking Free

Chapter 1

3rd POV

Marinette was very excited. She was finally leaving her old classmates behind. She was bulled and beaten to many times, she could nearly breath. So when Adruy offered her and Chloe a chance to escape, she took it. When she, Chloe and Adruy landed in Gotham, they raced to the hotel. As they were unpacking, Adruy burst in, jumping up and down.
"Marinette, I have a friend that is willing to sponsor you to get you started on your own Fashion line!!"
She turned to Chloe and squealed "Really?!?!"
Adruy nodded "Yep, we have dinner with him and his family tonight. So grab some nice clothes and get ready, we leave in two hours."

Marinette POV

I quickly rushed to the shower, trying not to trip on my way there. Knowing Chloe, she will want to do my hair. Turning the shower all the way hot, stepped in. As the steamy water hit my back, I realized I don't even know who the guy is. Sighing, I finished my shower and got dressed.  My dress was a off the shoulder sundress, the top part was all black, and the skirt itself was red with black spots with black flats. With it being chilly, I added a black shawl to my arms. After getting dressed I handed Chloe, almost the exact same dress just with a different design. Hers was an off the shoulders sundress, with all back at the top, and the skirt itself was yellow with black strips going around with black heels.
"Marinette, I love that dress. The pockets are amazing, Pollen will love it."
I giggled "I knew you would like it. Under the skirt there is a place to store food. Kinda like a mini cooler, but you won't even know it's there. The fabric I picked is to keep it cooled and to help prevent it from overheating."
Chloe squealed "Mari I can't thank you enough." she said as she pulled me into a hug.
"You don't have to. The point of the dress is suppose to be a thank you for getting my out of that class."
Silence filled the room. Chloe pulled back far enough so I could see her face. "What did we talk about?"
I giggled "We, and I quote, 'Agreed never to talk about or mention them again'. I know Chlo....... So are you doing my make up? I don't even know who the sponsor is and I want to make a good impression."
"Yes, or course I am. Mom also is wearing one of the outfits she commissioned you for."
I froze. "Which one?"
"The one that looked like Style Queen."
I sighed "Oh boy. She commissioned me for a whole Queen Bee line and chooses the one I did really bad on, to wear to a formal dinner meeting."
"Come on Mari. It's not that bad. Its amazing. Now, come along. I have to get your make up done."
I groaned really loud as she dragged me back into the bathroom.

By the time Chloe, Adruy and I were finished getting ready, it had already been two hours. Chloe put a little bit of grey eye shadow on me to make my eyes pop, and some lip gloss. Chloe put some blush and lip gloss on herself. I grabbed my purse and stuffed a few cookies in there along with some Camerberett cheese for Plagg and Tikki. Sighing I waited for the others to grab their things. I flipped through my phone and got on Instagram. The first thing I saw where the comments from my old class.

Ladystalker: Your such a bully. Just APOLOGIZE!!! You need to grow up. Jerk!!!
DJofParis: Come back, we are bored and your our only entertainment!!!!
Punmaster: Fess up and go along with it!!!

Closing my phone, I clutched it in my hand. "What did I ever do?!" I said as I throw my phone across the room. It shattered into pieces. My anger and sadness rising. All the emotions I kept under lock and key, crashing into me, like a hurricane. I feel like I'm suffocating. Everything I held on a short, short, short leash, snapping free. I know I'm not crying, I would have makeup running down my face. I do know, there is now a hole in the couch. I can't breath. I think I'm stumbling around, I can't tell.
"Marinette! You need to look at me!!" That's.....Chloe......Tikki.......Plagg.....What's going on?
"There you go. What's wrong?"
"Posts." is the only word I can get out. I watched as Chloe pulled out her phone and opened up Instagram. I watched as her face went from calm to murderous in an instant. I looked to Adruy, she had a frown on her face as she read over her daughters shoulder. Till she spoke up.
"I'm going to call and cancel the dinner. We gotta help you get better."
I took a deep, deep breath. "No. We are still doing dinner. I will not let them hold me back, anymore. But if the boys want to fight me, then I wont be going easy on them."
Chloe and Adruy laughed. "Oh, Mari. They have know idea what they are getting themselves into."
I went to the bathroom, splashed some water on my face. And had Chloe redo my make up, and headed downstairs.
