Marinette and the Gods

Part 3

Chapter 2:

"Hey!" Frank, Percy and Leo greet.

"So how do you guys like working at the museum?" I ask.

"It brings us back to our roots, it's a job we enjoy," Frank explains.

"So Marinette, have you ever been to San Francisco before?" Leo asks.

"No, I haven't been before, from what I've seen it is very pretty," I say.

"So are you joining us for lunch?" Percy questions.

"If you guys are fine with that," I say.

"It's no problem, we have to get going to meet our girlfriends," Jason explains.

"Lead the way," I respond.

They lead me to a park where I see four girls sitting on a picnic blanket.

Am I intruding? Will they hate me like the rest of my class do. Why did I agree to come here? Everyone ends us hating me. I'm just a girl people use then thrown away like a piece of trash. Marinette you don't even know them yet, you can give them a chance. So my heart can be shattered again.

"Marinette! Marinette!" I snap back to reality when I hear Jason's voice.

"Oh! Sorry," I say.

"Are you okay?" Leo asks.

"Y-yeah," I assure.

"Okay then, Marinette, meet my girlfriend Calypso," Leo introduces.

"Marinette, meet Annabeth, my girlfriend," Percy says.

"Hazel meet Marinette, Marinette this is Hazel, my girlfriend," Frank says.

"Marinette, this is Piper and she is my girlfriend," Jason says.

"It's nice to meet you all," I say.

I sit down beside Piper and listen to their conversation.

"Marinette, if you don't mind me asking, why aren't you hanging out with your friends?" Piper questions.

"I don't have friends," I reply.

"Why is that, you seem so nice," Hazel questions.

"I-i don't want to talk about it," I say.

"Do you like Paris or San Francisco better?" Calypso asks.

"I haven't seen much of San Francisco yet, but I feel more connected to this place more than Paris," I reply.

"Oh, why is that?" Annabeth asks.

"Well, Paris is known as the city of love but all I feel there is hatred like I don't belong," I explain.

"Have you guys lived here your whole lives? I ask.

"No, we all travel a lot but San Francisco and the North shore of Long Island located in New York, are our homes. We always return back there or here," Annabeth says.

"That's cool," I say.

By the time we were done eating I had to head back.

"I have to go meet up with my class," I say.

"We'll walk with you," Jason says.

"Hey Marinette, we should meet up again soon," Percy suggested.

"Yeah, we should," I agree.

By the time I reach the meeting point, I hear,

"AHHHHH!!!! MY HAIR! MY CLOTHES! MY SKIN! WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME!!!" Lila screams.

I walk over to see Lila's skin turned green, her hair cut unevenly and turned purple, and wearing rags.

I keep in a laugh but snort instead.

"Why are you laughing Mari-trash," I hear Alya yell.

"I wasn't laughing Cesaire," I say coldly.

"YOU DID THIS DIDN'T YOU MARINETTE! YOU CHANGED MY SHAMPOO AND CLOTHES. YOU CUT MY HAIR WHILE I WAS EATING! WHAT DID I EVER DO WRONG TO YOU! ALL I EVER DID WAS TRY TO BE YOUR FRIEND!" Lila shouts at me.

"I wasn't even around you at lunch," I say.

"You're such a liar! I never believed I was friends with such a horrible person!" Alya yells.

A knife pierced my skin when I hear that,

"Don't you remember what you said Lila," I say.

"LILA DID NOTHING WRONG MARINETTE, STOP THROWING YOURSELF A PITY PARTY!" Adrien shouts.

He knows that she is lying but he doesn't even call her out. He said he would be by my side but he's not. He is such a liar. We aren't even in Paris, Lila can't get akumatized but he still chooses to lie. Why does the world hate me? I'm only doing what I thought was right. Why does everyone hate me? I think.

"Marinette, I need you to calm down, I know you can hear me, breathe with me," I hear Calypso say.

I breathe with her and return back to reality.

"Really Marinette, you're such a loser trying to bring attention to yourself by faking a panic attack," Alya states.

I feel tears running down my face. I can't take it anymore so I run. I ran far far away from there. I hear Percy, Jason, Leo, Frank, Annabeth, Piper, Calypso, and Hazel running behind me, telling me to stop. But I don't. I keep running and end up in the woods when I see a monster appear right in front of me. I dodge its attack and keep on running until I am surrounded by creatures.

What's going on! What are these creatures? Why do they want me! I just wanted to escape! I think.
