Summary:
Lila's threat is slowly coming to fruition. Mme. Bustier's class has isolated Marinette and, while the rumors and bullying hurt, she doesn't expose the liar. That's what Adrien asked of her, and she keeps her promise, all the while praying that something would change.
But by chance while listening to music while working on homework, a song from an American musical leads her to ask for help, and discover that she's a lot less helpless against Lila than she thought.

Inspired by I'd Rather Be Me from Mean Girls.
In which Sabine and Tom take action to help their daughter, Adrien realizes he messed up, Caline misinterprets some things but tries, Chloé just wants Lila to stop, and Marinette is just kinda along for the ride.
There will be salting of Alya, Mme. Bustier, and Lila in here, a dusting for Nino and Adrien, and a pinch for the class.
