MARINETTE'S UNCONSCIOUS BODY was being picked up by another female.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Why are you being so rude?!"

Lila sneered as she folded her arm, staring at her classmates. "Rude or not, everything I'm saying is facts, Chloe Bourgeois. It won't be long before Sabrina and April leave you as well. No one would want to be around a despicable loser, don't you think?"

Chloe had almost stood up from her seat to go slap her just as she'd done to Ninette before, but Sabrina and April held her back; Sabrina fearing what would happen to the girl if she slapped another one of her classmates, while April wasn't in the mood for fights as of now.

Lila rolled her eyes at the sight, shouting out another insult so the whole class could hear. She peeked over at Adrien, who was giving her angry looks, but she didn't utter a word to him and instead, went to take her seat.

The doors opened, Madame Bustier walking in. They were having her for a second time today because the teacher who was supposed to be teaching them currently wasn't here in the academy. Madame Bustier looked to be in a better mood than when she was in the morning, but seeing the angry faces on the students' complexions made her relinquish her smile, folding her arms questioningly. "Alright, what is going here now?"

"Marinette, again, is being a little bit-"

"Chloe!" Madame Bustier was quick to stop her before she could finish her sentence. Chloe growled a little as she sat back down. The teacher then snapped her attention over to Marinette, who was still currently grinning. "Marinette, would you care to explain? I hope you're not continuing from where you left off over at lunchtime!"

Lila didn't bother replying, just sitting there with folded arms and a scowl. Madame Bustier sighed, frustrated, her attitude going downhill once again. "After class, I would like to have a private talk with you, Marinette." She left it at that, though if the young female was to ever cause trouble again, she would get sent down to the principal's office.

Lila knew that, of course, but why stop now when she was already so far in? She was so close to completely shattering Marinette's life during her time at this academy. With that main goal in her head, the brunette stood up from her seat. She had to leave now, transform back into her original human form, and just wait for the real Marinette to come back, receiving the hate Lila had caused upon her.

But before she could start walking towards the door, it opened up, Kagami walking inside.

Gasps could be heard throughout the entire class when they looked up, their eyes landing on the unconscious body Kagami was holding. Kagami sent a glare towards Lila, who'd already frozen up in shock. Her heart was beating faster at the sight, surprised that Kagami had managed to find the real Marinette.

"W-What's going on?" Rose asked the question prowling around everyone's mind, staring at Kagami who was carrying Marinette, while Lila, in the form of Marinette, stood there, not even moving at all.

"Look around you, everyone!" Kagami shouted out. "Who's not here. I'm not sure if all of you remember this, but you have a classmate who goes by the name of Lila Rossi. Think about it. She was never there at lunch when Marinette said all those words. Does anyone also remember when she transformed into Eva when showing off her powers? Lila is a shape-shifter. That girl over there-" She pointed a finger towards Lila, whose lips quivered in slight fear. "-is not who you think she is. Her real name is Lila, and all she did was take Marinette's body, pretending to be her to fool you guys. Her plan worked, didn't it?"
