The faker

Alya's pov
I was waiting outside school. Like always for the infamous sleepyhead when I heard crying from inside school. My journalist instincts took over and I went in. It was Lila crying, our class and people who I didn't even know were crowded around her

"She said if I told anyone she'd hurt me and my family!" She wailed. "I just couldn't keep covering the bruises with makeup."

"Huh? What's going on?" I asked Alix as I got to the crowd.

"You best friend has been bullying Lila for months!" She yelled, like she was accusing me of it.

"Marinette wouldn't do that. She has her time taken up with outfit designs, homework and me." I said, there was no way in hell marinette would bully. Adrien and I were the only ones who knew this was fake, the reason?, ladybug! She told me a few months ago. So she obviously wouldn't have time to bully because she saves Paris on the daily.

"Please! Marinette is too kind to do any of that." Adrien butted in, he's known for a lot longer than me (totally not jealous.) I never knew why she decided to tell him before me but whatever. There was a lot of murmuring for a while, and that's when I heard her.

Marinette's pov

"Tikki! Can you get my bag? I'm late!" I yelled as I rushed around the small flat above the bakery. My parents were out getting groceries for the bakery and never woke me up so she was running late.

"Here you go!" Tikki said happily as she put down the pink bag and helped tie my hair up.

"Ugh what would I do without you?" I Scooped Tikki into my hands and hugged her. She giggled. "Okay his Tikki!" I saw the last of the small red kwami disappear into my small handbag and rushed to school. When I got there alya wasn't in her normal spot, think I was late I headed in and saw a massive crowd around... a crying Lila? She had a massive purple bruise on the left side of the jaw. I walk up to alya and Alix and ask.

"Oh my gosh! What happened to Lila? Is she okay?" I ask trying to see closer.

"Yeah as long as you stay away from her." Alix spat at me, I was taken by surprise.

"W-what do you mean?" I thought I miss heard what she said, how is it my fault she has a massive bruise?

"Marinette, don't freak out, okay?" Alya turned to me making me worried. "Lila's told everyone that you've been bullying her for months adrien people are believing it."

I stood their completely dumbfounded! Why would she say that to people? I haven't done anything to her? Have I?

"Yeah! Because she has proof!" Nino barged in. Not nino too! I've known him since we were 5! He's known her for 4 months!

"What's the proof? I haven't laid a hand, fist, foot anything! On her! Why would I? Why would I want to?" I practically yelled, making everyone turn to me. Nino took his phone out and showed some very obvious photoshopped pictures. The lighting wasn't even the same on me than Lila! I laughed, how did anyone believe that?!

"Why are you laughing?!" Kim said standing next to nino who took his phone away from me, thinking I'd breaking it or steal it or something.

"Look, believe me, believe her. I don't care. I know I'm right and she's lying for what ever reason. All I want to say is take a closer look at the pictures before saying anything. How would she have gotten the pictures to begin with?" And with that I turned on my heals and walked off without another word, leaving a crowd of murmurs behind me. When I suddenly hear footsteps behind me; alya, adrien and... Chloé?!

"Marinette wait!" Adrien yelled. "We know you're innocent!" He gave me the 'chat noir' grin and I hugged him, Chloé and alya.

"Thank you guys!" I said, with watery eyes.

"I mean I hate Lila, so even if you did bully her I'd be on your side." Laughed Chloé, this was the first time in years we have talked like this. Ever since the friendship break.

Flash back 4th grade
No ones pov

"Hey best friend in the world!" The young marinette yelled as she sat next to Chloé in the park. Chloé's eyes were hidden by her hands, she was making crying noises. "Chloé?.. are you okay?"

"Mama is leaving." Chloé could barely get the words out before bursting into tears.

"What what? Why? Are you okay?" Mari asked attempting to put her arm around her blonde friend. When she shoved her hand up and stood up.

"DO I LOOK ALRIGHT TO YOU? YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT I'M GOING THROUGH!" she yelled, and with that she turned around and walked off. Ever since then their friendship started going down. In 3rd grade they were best friends. In the 5th they wouldn't even make eye contact when they walked past each other. Chloé turned bad, into a spoiled brat. It was only in this year when she became queen bee that she started to change for the better, and attempted to make it up to marinette.

End of flashback

Marinette's pov

Everyone laughed. If only nino would believe me then we'd have the whole superhero team on my side. But you don't always get what you want. The bell rang for class.

"We'll always be here for you princess!" Adrien smirked. I flicked his ones and we both laughed. God I love this boy.

"Okay lovebirds! Let's go to class." Alya and Chloé said, practically in sink. They turn around to each other and laugh, "let's change up the seats a bit when we get there!" Chloé said with an evil grin on her face.

(Right now, adrien and Lila sit on the front roe, with nino and alya behind them, and marinette next to Nathaniel across from adrien and Lila, with Chloé and Sabrina behind them.) they head up to class, and still see the swarm of people around Lila, so they know they'll be the first people there. Madame bustier was setting papers down on each desk when they walked in.

"Hello kids! Where is the rest of your class?" She said smiling down on the 4 17 year olds.

"Lila is lying about Mari and the rest of the class hates her." Chloé said without realising who she was talking to.

"Oh no! Are you okay marinette? I'll have a word with her if you want me too!" The teacher said looking sadly down and the bluenette eyes.

"Oh I'm fine, I know what right and what isn't! I just have one question!" I said meeting her eyes.

"What is it?"

"Can we switch seats?"
