Ch.1 To Make Ammends
The heroic duo had done it again saving Paris from yet another akumitized victim, Volpina. What will Hawkmoth pull next this time folks!?
It's been a full week since the volpina incident and our heroine still feels bad for what she had done to the poor girl, Lila. That very same unfortunate girl was even excluded from class at points, and Mari had seen the distance the class was of her. Marinette decided to try and make amends with Lila not as Ladybug, but as herself instead.
"H-Hey Li-Lila…?" Marinette spoke first rather nervously. Lila gave her a withering glare.
"I was won.." The stuttering mess was cut off by Lila.
"What do you want? Are you here to mock me too!?" She was pissed, but tears were also starting to form on the poor girl.
"What! No! Please let me finis…" Again cut off by Lila.
"What you want to take advantage of me too! I thought I could fit in if I just…" A sob escaped her breathe. Instead of using words, Lila just got out of her seat rather quickly and started to sprint out of the classroom. Marinette's instincts kicked in and she went after the girl.
"Lila!" The two ran out of class as everyone watched in shock. Adrien was starting to feel guilty to what had happened to Lila, he knew she didn't deserve to be treated like that, even if she may had been a liar. He also was a little disappointed at his lady for saying such cruel things even if he loved her very dearly.
Marinette managed to somehow grab onto Lila's arm and quickly gave her a bear hug.
"Le-let me goo!" She screamed, but never resisted.
"What's your game! What do you want with me! Huh!? You must think I'm some kind of joke don't ya?! Everyone thinks soo!" Marinette continued to hug to the poor girl now crying in the arms of the very person who had made her life a living hell. Finally Lila returned the hug to Marinette and they both stayed like that for a while. Without Lila's nor Marinette's knowledge their classmates had watched the entire scene. Heck even the teacher was watching this display. Marinette finally decided to wreck the delicate silence.
"Lila I've noticed you being distant from the rest of the class. I just decided that I didn't want you to suffer any longer. No one blames you for what happened…" She spoke in such a reassuring tone to Lila, almost like a Mother pacifying a crying baby.
"You just took the wrong step is all. Mistakes happen Lila, but you have to move on. I'm not sure if this will ever be enough, but Lila, do you want to be friends with me?" She spoke all this while stroking the the head of the girl sobbing so heavily in the chest of Marinettes.
"T-Thank you…" Lila managed to speak through all the sobbing. Lila finally takes tilts her head to look in Mari's eyes. Those eyes, how familiar…? The two girls were now breaking out of the embrace. Marinette's eyes soon lit up and grabbed unto Lila's arm dragging her back into class. As soon as the two of them had entered, everything seemed normal. Way to normal like as if the class was hiding something crucial to the two teens. Finally, the teacher broke the silence and averted her attention to the two right next to the door.
"Lila, Marinette please go back to your seats if you will." The girls simply obeyed. Before Marinette got to her seat, Lila yanked her into yet another embrace whispering in her ear.
"Thanks I really needed that, I'm so glad I met you."
"Hey what are friends for?"
Lila and Mari took their seats. And class continued on with shocking looks at both Mari and Lila.
