Marinette sat in the principal's office, fiddling with her bag-strap.
"As class president, you shouldn't be taking responsibility so lightly."
He's one to talk. Causing me all that trouble as "The Owl." He went around Paris, 'helping' citizens with their troubles. I felt like a mom chasing him around...
"Marinette! Are you listening?"
"Uh- uh, yes sir."
"You have a week of detention. Hopefully, this will teach you to be a better role model for the other students." Mr. Damocles sighed. "And if you arrive late one more time, I'm afraid that I'll have to renounce your position as class president. Alya would take over then and choose a new student to be her deputy." This news hit Marinette like a brick.
He would really do that? Even after how good of a student I've been... Marinette walked out of the principal's office without saying another word.
"Oh, Tikki. Does Hawkmoth really have to Akumitize people at the worst times! How are my parents going to take the news?"
"I don't know, Marinette, but just know that I know you aren't a bad person. That's all that matters."
Just like Lila. I know that she's a liar, and so does Adrien. That's all that matters, although I wouldn't mind her being exposed...
Adrien had even more trouble focusing after Marinette had gotten sent to the principal's office.
What is happening to me? I don't even know what to think anymore. I remind myself of my- father... The bell rang, and Adrien filed out of the classroom, like a zombie.
I owe Marinette an apology. Then, maybe we can talk. We have a lot of things to discuss. Adrien turned to Nino who was walking beside him.
"Hey, dude. I need to catch up with Marinette. I have something to say to her." Adrien felt the hallway become ten times hotter. Nino looked at him and raised his eyebrows.
"You don't need my permission to go see your girlfriend Marinette!" He shouted.
"Stop it, man! She's not-" Adrien decided not to get caught in a lie because Nino was smart. He would know.
"Say hi to Marinette for me!" Nino said to Adrien's disappearing form.
The Akuma flew along the Seine, heading over to the dose of negative energy. All of a sudden, that energy disappeared. The Akuma, unsure of where to go, followed a new trail of sorrow. It waited on the windowsill of a woman's apartment and listened in on her conversation.
"I don't know what to think of Marinette anymore. She just received a week of detention for being late! I thought that we had solved that problem..." She sighed. "I don't want to punish her, but she needs me to set an example..." The Akuma slid in through an open slip under the window. It inched toward the woman, unsure of how she would react. Luckily, she didn't notice it and so it was able to fly into her phone. The phone turned purple with evil, and the woman began to hear the voice of Hawkmoth that the Akuma transferred into her head.
"Yes!" The woman cried, desperate for an easy solution. The Akuma felt itself expand, engulfing the woman in a purple cloak, and then receding back into the phone.
