The Price of Lying.

11| The Liar Played Her Card

Sitting down at his seat, Felix took out his book and began reading while waiting for the teacher.

He heard chatter and Marinette came in with Chloe, arguing whether Marinette's colour was pink or red.

"I'm telling you, you look so good in red." Chloe said.

"So, you're saying I don't look good in pink?"

"What? No..."

"I'm kidding, Chlo." Marinette laughed.

Chloe went to her seat and Marinette sat beside her, since Sabrina has yet to come.

Most of the class was already here. Only a few people were currently absent, one of which included the Rossi.

The heals clacked against the floor as Ms. Bustier walked in.

"Good morning class! Let's start with a compliment in the morning, shall we?" She asked in her usual happy tone.

'Not this again...' Felix thought.

'Compliments are hard...... insults would be easier.'

The teacher walked over to her attendance and chose two names.

"Alya and Chloe." She decided.

'How clueless can the teacher get?' Felix asked himself.

Ms. Bustier looked around the class and realized Alya was still not present. Returning to her desk to pick another student, the door slammed open revealing Alya, Liar and Aletta. The three of them were panting hard.

'They must've run here' Felix decided.

Not noticing their hate-filled aura Ms. Bustier happily informed Alya she was going to compliment Chloe.

"Good timing, Alya! You and Chloe are going to complement each other today."

By this point, Felix was surprised Chloe hasn't said anything about having to compliment a b-.... Césaire.

"No way am I complimenting a b*tch!" Chloe complained.

There it was.

"Please, we all know the only b*tch here is you." Césaire retorted.

"Chloe's a b*tch, but she's different." Marinette defended.

"Nettie! Language!" Chloe teased.

"That's right. And the compliments can be as simple as saying you like each other's hair."

Chloe huffed and gave in. She went up to the front, her arms crossed looking like she was thinking what to say. If Felix was honest, he would need more than minutes to know how to compliment Césaire. She was the kind of person who didn't possess a good quality, no matter how hard you try to look

Alya also surrendered and went to stand in front of Chloe.

Aletta had already taken her seat and Rossi made her way up.

Césaire took a deep breath and started. "You look pretty today." She said through her gritted teeth.

"And you're SO gorgeous."  Chloe said, emphasizing the so.

"Good job! Now let's get to the lesson." Mr. Bustier clapped.

Chloe and Césaire returned to their seats. Both having their arms crossed

The day went on, and lies were gushing out of that witch's mouth like a waterfall.

During lunch break, it just got worse.

"Sorry I couldn't hang out with you the other day Alya. Clara asked me to design a new dance for her new song! Jagged also came by to have dinner, so I was pretty busy with that too." Lila lied.
