Marinette was so far, having a pretty down day. It seemed even her Ladybug luck couldn't lessen the blow of her multiple mess-ups. First it was falling out of her bed, which hurt a lot, considering she had a loft bed. She stumbled to school with a lump on the side of her head, (only after knocking a tray of freshly baked cookies from her fathers hands. He said it was fine, but Marinette still felt really guilty) and an already sour mood. She met with Alya, who kindly fixed her lop-sided pigtails and patted her pounding head in comfort. Marinette managed a small smile, Alya could be quite mom-ish at times, but she appreciated her friends concern for her.

Class started. Marinette swore as soon as she heard Chloe's annoying, shrill complaining her headache got worse. Oh boy, she's going to need at least four containers worth of pain relievers to ever feel the same again. The bluenette grit her teeth and glared over at the blonde, who was now ridiculing poor Rose's pretty dress. All marinette wanted to do was wrap her yoyo around Chloe and slam her into the wall. Repeatedly.

"Honestly, Rose, that dress looks like the scraps you find in the garbage. Tell me, did you find it while looking for food there?" Chloe snickered, Sabrina smiling a little, but she didn't look mean, just apologetic.

"M-my granny made it for me..." Rose stammered, her big blue eyes watery. Chloe laughed that shrill, ear grating laugh.

"It all makes sense now! She probably had old curtains to use up anyways!" The (probably fake) blonde chuckled. Marinette suddenly stood up, right when Rose started crying. Poor girl, she didn't deserve this. Rose was much to kind to be deserving of this crap!

Juleka grabbed Rose into a hug, glaring at Chloe, who just rolled her eyes. Marinette turned from where she was standing to look at Chloe.

"What do you want?" Chloe scoffed, lounging lazily in her seat.

"For you to shut your mouth. Now. Rose didn't deserve all that! Everything you said was shallow, cold lies that your twisted mind smashed together!" Marinette growled. Chloe's eyebrow quirked, sensing a challenge.

"No, honey, it was the cold hard truth. None of you can handle it, though, it seems." Chloe sneered. Alya set a hand on Marinettes shoulder. the bluenette didn't know if it was a comforting gesture, or a you should back off, like now! one, but she ignored it.

"If you can dish it out, Chloe, you should be able to take it back. How about I reveal the truth about you, hm?" Marinette started, taking a step forward. Chloe didn't seem bothered. Marinettes fists clenched. "The truth about you Chloe, is that you're probably shallow and emotionless, and you only know how to manipulate and hate on good people. You know you'll never be as good as them, so you use your insufferable, pathetic lies to bring them down to your level. All you have to your name is your dads money and position, if you didn't have that, what would you be?"

The room was quiet. Their teacher thankfully wasn't present yet. Chloe's smug smirk turned into a look of slight shock. Everyone's mouths were agaped.

"I- I...I would still be-" Chloe sputtered, eyes darting back and forth like a trapped animal. "W-well, at least I'm not some desperate fangirl that obsesses over someone she can never have! At least my parents don't own a nasty little bakery that'll never pay for your college! I'm not some poser designer who thinks she's so good at what she does! Ha, and now, everyones going to see you as a bitter, nasty, and jealous, for attacking me with your jelaous lies!" Chloe finished, crossing her arms and giving Marinette a perfect smile.

Marinette trembled, feeling tears at the backs of her eyes. She fisted her hands, then slowly sat down. She was so stupid. How else would this end? Picking a fight with Chloe? She heard Chloe's victorious laugh, and all she could do was hold her head. It hurt even more, but something else was also aching. Her heart. Chloe had ravaged her. She had taken everything she was, then ripped it apart.

The classroom was silent. Chloe leaned back in her chair, that stupid smug smirk still on her face. "What a big baby. Can't take the truth either. Oh well!"

Alya was patting Marinette's back, and was about to give Chloe a piece of her mind, but Marinette smacked her hands away and quickly fled the classroom, leaving everything behind.

The teacher walked in just then, dodging a running Marinette.

"Is everything ok here?"

Adrien stood up. "No, defiantly not. I think the principal needs to have a talk with Chloe." He announced. Everyone nodded, ignoring Chloe's betrayed gasp. Alya rushed to the teacher.

"Can I please go after Marinette?" She begged. Nino and Adrien rushed in behind her. The teacher looked to the door where the bluenette had fled, then nodded with a sigh. The kids rushed out of the room.

Meanwhile, Marinette was sitting in an empty classroom. All she remembered was running, and needing somewhere quiet, away from Chloe. She had cried a little bit, tear tracks gleaming on her face. She angrily wiped them away.

Chloe.

She's created so many akumas.

She's broken so many hearts.

What is wrong with her? Why would she do that to people?

'I agree, what gives her the right to belittle others? What makes her so powerful?" Marinette's eyes widened. She recognized the outline of purple butterfly, the glow casting grim shadows across her face.

"I can make you powerful. I can help you to make Chloe pay. But theres just one small favour you need to do for me..."

Marinette shut her eyes. Her trembling lips formed a small smile.

"F-fine."
