Miraculous : Tales of Scarlet Bug and Chat Noir

Origins

Hola chicas! This is my second multi-chapter fic and I hope it goes as well as my first one! As said in the description, this is an AU where Chloe gets the miraculous instead of Marinette. I'll try my best to keep posting every Saturday but I can't promise. I hope you like!

"Are you kidding me?"

Chloe Bourgeois was standing furiously in front of her father, who was holding a letter from school. "What do you mean I'm not going to be in Adrien's class? That's ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!" she fumed. "I demand that you fix this immediately!"

André stammered nervously back, "But, Chloe, dearest, the school has already arranged the classes in a certain way! I can't possibly change it now, on the first day!" He shakily opened out a small box and offered, "Instead, you and Sabrina can have this pair of Louis Vuitton friendship bracelets!"

Chloe took one glance at the bracelets and slammed the box shut. "Sabrina doesn't deserve this until she's done at least 5 weeks of my homework. Are you the mayor or what? Fix it, daddy, or I'm gonna make sure you don't get re-elected!"

Andre didn't think it would be possible for a 14 year old girl to ruin his mayoral campaign but knowing Chloe, she'd find some way. "Ok, ok, I'll contact Principle Damocles," he conceded reluctantly.

"Perfect!" Chloé squealed. She knew just how to get her dad to do what she wanted and she used that knowledge to her advantage at all times. As she strolled out of the hotel, she felt her mood significantly brighten. An uncommon smile appeared on her face and she hummed a tune of her favourite song. Even Butler Jean was shocked by the change in her usually grumpy demeanor. "Now, with Adrien in my class, I can finally find a way to make him date me!"

Her limo dropped her off near school and she began walking to the entrance. At the red light, she spotted an old man with a stick stumbling slowly through the moving traffic. She looked around to see that no one had taken notice of the man. Rolling her eyes, she rushed to his side and pulled him across the road right before a car sped past. His tired hazel eyes swivelled over to Chloé and he murmured, "Thank you very much, young lady."

A small smile made its way onto Chloe's face as she watched him hobble down the street. Suddenly, she remembered she was in public and when she saw people, some even her classmates, staring curiously at her, a red blush dusted her cheeks. Mean girls like Chloe weren't supposed to help old men trying to cross the road. "Move along, people!" she angrily ordered. "Don't you have anything better to do? Oh, I forgot! Of course you don't!" It seemed the queen bee was back. As Chloe stormed off to class, she scolded herself, "Come on, Chloe! Keep in line. You have a reputation. Don't mess it up now."

Once Chloe got into class, she was glad to see no one was in her seat, directly behind Adrien. Since there was still some time before school started, she decided to torment a few more people to make up for her slip-up earlier. Her icy blue scanned over the class and locked on a girl she hadn't seen before. She was hunched over a mobile phone and an evil smirk grew on Chloe's face. "Fresh blood." Sauntering over to her desk, Chloe slammed her hand in front of Alya's face. "So, new kid," she began. "Today may be your first day but there are some things you need to know. First of all, I am the most popular person in this whole school and have been since le école so don't even try to come for my spot."

Unimpressed, Alya looked up from her phone and drawled, "I guess you're also the cockiest person and have been since le école. I'd rather stay humble old me than try to be anything like you, thank you very much."

Eyeing Alya's attire disdainfully, Chloe shot back "It's clear you wouldn't stand a chance of ever being popular. Now, I don't know how things worked in you old school but I'll give you some advice for this one." She leant in as close as possible to Alya's face and spat, "Don't bother me and I might spare you from public humiliation." Alya scoffed and went back to her phone. Chloe was about to insult her about something else when, out of the corner of her eye, she spied Marinette sitting in her spot. "Ugh, why can't everyone just be smart for once?" She strutted over to Marinette's desk, slammed her hand on the table and said, "Marinette Dupain-Cheng."
