I woke up to my annoying alarm clock blasting in my ear... "Tikki, five more minutes..." I grumbled. "Marinette your cover isn't supposed to be this late." She exclaimed. I processed this in my head and then it struck me...school! In an instant, I shot out of bed and into my plethora of clothes and threw something on.

After that, I finally checked my alarm clock to see it was half an hour until school started. "Tikki!" I whisper yelled only to get a giggle in return. I then styled my hair using the magic I trained with.

You see I'm not who everyone thinks I am... Everyone thinks I'm Marinette Dupain Cheng, the baker's daughter, the shy awkward clumsy girl who always brings in baked goods for everyone...well I'm not. To China, I am actually Marinette De Culpa, the beautiful, confident, graceful, multi-talented and kind girl who gives all her allowance to homeless shelters, who visits orphanages and hospitals with as many clothes and baked treats I can, and who sings the children to sleep, and posts singing videos and designs clothes for people under the alias MDC and is known internationally (only my real parents and Chloé know about that) is also the most powerful being in the universe. Sabine Dupain Cheng and Tom Dupain Cheng are just my aunt and uncle...kinda. Since Lila Rossi spread lies all around school about me bullying her (with no proof may I add) everyone has been bullying me and has been eating then up. The only person I have is Chloé, my bestie. I used to have Adrien Agreste, the model, who I actually had the biggest crush on, but after he told me to take the high road, my feeling evaporated and were replaced with spite for him since he had no backbone. All of the lies reached my Aunt and Uncle who believed them without a second thought, the teachers and the principal who now hate me. The stupid thing is that they can be proved with a look on the security feed or with a google search so since then they have all neglected me. Only my mom, Bridgette De Culpa, my dad, Felix De Culpa, my brother, Marin De Culpa, and Chloé Bourgoeis, my best friend (who I think is hiding something from me) and everyone in China and around the world except Paris. The way my power was tested was a machine and it was so powerful, the machine malfunctioned, so I'm kinda scared of hurting someone with it...Well, since the liar stole all my friends, I changed for the better, I grew up and used my MDC originals instead, I stopped caring about what anyone else thought and I let some more of my princess side shine through, and I am actually thankful for it, I found my best friend who I trusted more within a few days with the secret of me being the super heroine Ladybug in Paris than Alya, my former best friend, who I had been friends with for years longer- Oh no! I forgot to do my makeup!

As soon as I finished getting ready, I opened my new purse to let Tikki in, (I designed it to have padding to make Tikki more comfortable and a compartment for all her sweet treats) and bolted down the stairs only to be met with two glares from my aunt and uncle from the slander to the bakery recieved from Lila's possi due to her lies, to which I glared right back. I quickly snuck some cookies into my purse for Tikki, grabbed a box of queenie's (Chloé's) favourite flavoured macaroons (honey flavoured) and her gift I packed yesterday for her birthday on the weekend. Since I was late, I snuck into an alleyway to teleport to the school alleyway with my powers, leaving in a flurry of red, pink and white. As soon as I reached the alleyway, I strutted out, not caring about all the lustful gazes of the boys and glares from the girls (along with a few lustful ones) even because of Lila's lies. As soon as I reached the doors to the classroom, I took a deep breath and strutted to my seat, to be met with more lustful gazes, envy filled glares from my MDC originals a green eyed extremely longing gaze from a certain blonde eyed model and a proud momma bear gaze from a certain blonde haired, blue eyed bee (also wearing an MDC original, that I made for her last birthday. "HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEENIE!" I yelled, startling everyone in the room. I didn't care though as I grabbed out her macarons and shoved them in front of her with a bright smile. "Aww thank you Mari-bug!" she exclaimed wearing a bright smile, tearing up a bit. "Aww, don't cry!" I said, giving her a massive Mari-hug. "Sorry, Mari-bug. This is just the first time my friend has remembered my birthday..." Chloé exclaimed , to which Sabrina (Chloe's ex bestie) looked down in shame "I could never forget my bestie's birth-WEEK as I am making it! I have a bunch of gifts for you, that I am going to give you after school because there is a big one coming but I managed to fit one in my hands. Here!" I yelled as I shoved a box in front of her. I had spent the whole month preparing for this very week since we became friends and this took about a week to perfect since it couldn't be found on my website. I hadn't even spent that long on Alya's birthday present since I knew it was a toxic friendship with me doing everything and putting in the work and it was always stress filled for me, yet with Chloé she puts in the equal amount of effort and it is never boring with her. As she opened the box, she gasped and looked at it in awe. In the box, was a knee- length dress, with a translucent layer covering the sunflower-yellow layer underneath, carefully embroidered with white flower petals, with a belt of faux jewels. It also had a mini MDC signature stitched on the inside. If it was commissioned by a website, it would be €5000 euros as best.

"It is a Marinette special! Made just for you! It took me a month to finish because the fabric was the most expensive in the US and I used a third of my commission money! Do you like it?" I enquired unsure of if she would like it- "I love it!" She exclaimed! I breathed a sigh of relief, only mid breath, I was met with the furious gaze of Alya Césaire. I internally groaned as she stomped over to our table, eyes blazing "What the hell, Marinette?! You didn't get me anything for my birthday ,yet you spent so must time, money and effort on a beautiful dress for Chloé, your bully and we are supposed to be besties!" As soon as she finished, I was fuming! " BESTIES?! We are not 'besties'! You are now ruining my actual bestie's birthday, which I spent months preparing for so sit your ass down and ask your real bestie Lie-la to get you a gift because we are not friends and we never will be again. If you ruin Chloe's birthday, I swear to god I will end you!" I yelled, shocking everyone with my outburst, except Chloé who looked proud to say the least and Tikki popped out of my purse with a proud expression.
Soon after, Mmd Bustier barged into the room looking frantic yet excited. "Students! I have an announcement!" "We are going to the princess of China's coronation!" As soon as she said that, I blanched and a devilish smirk appeared onto my face.
