It was suppose to be a normal day.
Well, as normal as his days gets lately. Come home straight from school, go to a photoshoot, piano lesson, - the whole jazz.
Don't get him wrong, it absolutely did start off like that. Then soon after he was home from his activities, he got the text.
The dreaded, anger inducing text. And oh man, did he get angry. Downright furious. How many times has he told her to leave Marinette alone? But then again, did he expect anything else from the girl who lied her way through everything? So no, he wasn't surprised, he knew this was something Lila was capable of doing.
"You... good?" he heard a voice ask but Adrien wasn't really paying attention. He was doing everything he could at the moment to not attract an akuma.
The little creature flew into his sight, gazing at him in concern. "Adrien?"
"We're going out, Plagg." He muttered, his lips set in a hard line. "I think it's time for a little destruction, what do you think?"
"Oh, sounds fun. But why?" Plagg responded, gulping down a slice a cheese before lazily landing on Adrien's shoulder.
Raising an eyebrow, Adrien stood up and strode towards his bedroom windows. "A certain someone needs to be taught a lesson."
Plagg snorted, getting ready to be sucked into the ring again. "I will only agree if it's that sausage hair girl."
Adrien winked at the kwami, muttering the phrase needed to be his alter ego. "Let's go have some fun, Plagg."
There was just one word to describe the current situation at the Dupain-Cheng residency.
"Chloé, don't yell." Kim hissed, placing a finger on his lips.
This only seemed to make the mayor's daughter angrier and she narrowed her eyes. "What did I tell you guys before?"
Hearing that, Alya sighed and slumped down on one of the couches. "That Lila isn't as awesome as we thought."
"Exactly." She huffed, her arm crossed, the scrowl not receding even a little. "Now, what are we gonna do?"
Nino raised his hands to his chest, a heavy sigh leaving him. "I know we've been suspicious about Lila lately, but let's wait till everyone shows up, yeah?"
Kim nodded and began pacing, his hands in his pockets. He was happy everyone agreed with each other and that what Lila did was at all not okay. But it looked like she only targeted Marinette and it didn't make any sense.
"Why does Lila hate Marinette?" He asked, turning back towards the group. "I don't get it."
Everyone in turn, frowned. What exactly did happen between the two girls?
"Do you think it started when Marinette called her out as a liar?" Sabrina spoke up, her eyebrows raised. "That's the first public disagreement I can really remember."
All around the room, sounds of agreements could be heard. It was soon after Lila transferred over to their class and almost immediately, Marinette didn't like her.
"I think the next time was when Lila said Marinette did all those things and she got expelled." Myléne added, the frown on her lips only deepening. "I haven't heard Marinette talk about her between those two times, really."
And as if on cue, all heads turned towards Alya, the best friend of the said girl.
"Did Marinette say anything that went on between those two?" Nino asked, sliding his hand over to hold one of hers.
Lowering her gaze, Alya sighed. "There were a couple of times, but nothing malicious. The only other time I can really remember is the day Lila went over to Adrien's house." Biting her bottom lip, Alya glanced back up to the group surrounding her. "For some reason, Marinette thought Lila's intention were not innocent at all."
"That reminds me!" Chloé interrupted, snapping her fingers as she pulled out her phone. "It was the same day this was sent to a few of us, right?" Finding what she was looking for, Chloé turned her phone around to show the rest of the teens.
Displayed on the blonde girl's phone was the picture taken by Lila and it showed her giving Adrien a cheek kiss.
Leaning back from the phone, Kim let out a low whistle. "Is it just me of does Adrien look uncomfortable?"
Nodding, Alix raised her eyebrows as she ran her fingers through her hair. "He definitely looks unc-"
"We're here!" Called out a voice, six people stepping into the room soon afterwards. "And I'm ready to fight a bitch." The girl in the pink dress said, a dangerous glint in her eyes.
"Thank you, Rose." Chloé nodded at her and turned back to face everyone else. "Now that everyone is here, we need to think of something."
Nino held up a finger, frowning. "Adrien isn't here yet."
"Oh, he is! He's helping Marinette with something." Myléne piped up.
