Hello everyone! I'm back with another chapter, I hope you enjoy it! Also, I'm wondering who I should 'mayuratize' in this story, so comment some ideas that you have!

Chapter 10:

How dare Cat Noir and Ladybug show off in front of the New Yorkers without ME?!

I am Chloe Bourgeois, THE Chloe Bourgeois, THE Queen Bee, THE superheroine of Paris! I deserve to show off, and to meet my new superhero colleagues! And I could even transform in front of them, since everyone already knows who I am! I'd fit in! The morons.

I'm fuming as Cassidy apologizes to me about the meeting of superheroes yesterday. "How about you and I meet up with the rest of your gang?" Cassidy offers. I roll my eyes. "Well, my good friend Ladybug here doesn't think that I'm responsible enough to actually keep my miraculous, so she gave it back to the guardian dude. I mean, I am definitely responsible enough!"

"Chloe!" I hear Sabrina chortle from down the hall. I roll my eyes. "What do you want? Can't you see that Cassidy and I are having an important superhero meeting? Go bother someone else, and if it's urgent, call me back after school!"

"Your geography homework is ready," Sabrina argues, but she turns around and walks away, starting up a conversation with loser Marinette DuPain Cheng. I turn back to Cassidy. "People can be so annoying sometimes, bothering you when you don't want to be bothered."

Cassidy laughs nervously. "Well, catch you around!" she says, walking away. "I'll try to figure out a way to get you to meet my friends!" I nod and roll my eyes. That's more like it! It's about time that they appreciate my hours of dedication to the well doing of Paris!

"My geography homework?" I ask, sauntering over to Sabrina and Marinette, and Sabrina instantly gives it to me. "Of course," she says, and scampers away. Marinette just turns on her heel and walks out of the locker room. At least she's smart enough to know that I don't want to be graced by her presence right now.

I open up my locker and marvel at my beautiful self in the mirror. Well, I look fab today, don't I? Who am I kidding, I look fabulous every day. And even the dumbest dummies know that.

"Uh… Chloe? Can I borrow you for a second?" Adrien's looking around nervously. My eyes widen at the sight of him in the mirror, right next to me. What a beautiful photo. I just wish I had a camera. But I don't. At the moment.

"ADRIKINS!" I wrap my arms around his neck, and he looks extremely uncomfortable after that. But that I don't understand. I mean, how can he feel uncomfortable around moi? Like I pointed out before; I'm fabulous.

"Hey Chloe," Adrien says, looking kind of guilty under the murdering stare of Lila, who tosses her hair and passes by us as if she doesn't see us. He sighs. "So… you know about Lila…"

For some reason, I decide to look back into the mirror because I'm bored. And I think I catch a blue-ish purple… wisp fly by. Is it a feather? I feel like I've seen it before…

"OUT OF THE WAY, ADRIKINS!" I say, shoving him, well, out of my way. I keep sight of the feather. I've seen it somewhere before, I know I have. Somewhere dangerous...

HAWKMOTH! Oh my gosh! When Ladybug, Rena, Carapace, Cat and I were battlling Hawkmoth! It's the peacock feather! Of course! That's why it looked so familiar!

I hear panting from behind me, and I turn around for a split second to see Adrien running with me. When I turn back, the feather's gone.

"Adrikins! I was onto something!" I want to fume, I want to be angry at him, but when I look at his face, I calm down. That doesn't exactly mean that I'm not sassy, though.

"Adrien, bring me Ladybug NOW!" I shout at him.

"I can't," he says, panicked. "What happened?"

"Superhero stuff," I say. Well, I can't help but show off, can I? "I must go back to Daddy right now, to have him call a private meeting with Ladybug and Cat Noir." I turn and leave on my heel, but before I walk out the door, I hear Adrien mumble; "No need to call Daddy for that."

"Kagami!"

Adrien lets out a cry of pain as I knock him to the ground, and I smirk, lifting my mask. "That was way too predictable. Is something on your mind? You're not as excited as usual to fencing practice today."

Adrien just grins back up at me. "Really? Because I think of myself as pretty excited today." But I can still tell that there's something bothering him. He's a great person, and he's skilled in many things, but he's really, really, really bad at lying. But if he doesn't want to talk it out with me, that's fine. I'll be there when he needs me.

We laugh together as I help him up to his feet. "Another round?"

He nods and slips his mask back on, and just as we're getting into onguard position, ready to advance and attack, a voice cries out, "Adrien?"

Ugh. Who is this loser, interrupting our match? It doesn't exactly sound like Marinette, and I know her well enough to know that she won't do that to us, even though she's great friends with Adrien. She will pay.

Adrien lifts his mask and looks around for the source of the voice. His face turned from curious to annoyed, or disappointed as a girl with light brown hair and green eyes walks up to him. He turns pale, and I can tell that he's really uncomfortable around this girl. Well, he's really easy to read. I put a hand on his shoulder. Lifting my own mask, I narrow my eyes.

"Oh Adrien! You do fencing here? What a surprise! I actually fenced for a while. I heard that there's an open session here today, right now! I just thought that maybe you'd be nice enough to help me improve my skills! Because of my short-lasting arthritis, I wasn't able to practice a lot. But now that I'm better, I would love if you could give me some lessons." she bats her eyelashes at Adrien. The girl turns to me, and her eyes widen as if she didn't know that I existed until now. "Oh! Hi there! I'm Lila, what's your name?"

I don't answer.

"Uh… she's my friend," Adrien says awkwardly. "She's a really great fencer. And we were just in a really good bout…"

Adrien looks at me, his eyes pleading for help. I would have laughed at his expression if I didn't hate the girl in front of me at first sight.

"That's great!" Lila says. "She can be my co-teacher! What'd you say?" She waits patiently for Adrien's response, trying all her charms. I almost snort in disgust.

"Well… why don't you get a mask and get dressed first, then I'll consider it," Adrien said, nodding back to me, and we fence another bout as the girl narrows her eyes at me and saunters off, annoyed.

"Who was that?" I ask, blocking his attack and lunging, hitting home.

He sighs, admitting his defeat. "Lila, a girl from my class. Don't believe anything she says. She's… well, I guess I can say that she's obsessed with me."

I laugh, jumping back, and making him miss as I lunge and touch again. "Bragging now, are we?"

Adrien smirks beneath his mask.

"She seems really clingy and annoying. You think she's coming back?" I ask.

"She's definitely coming back," Adrien sighs, and for the first time in the day, he scored a point. I pout as Lila comes back, with a mask and a saber. She holds it in a terrible posture, I almost collapse laughing. Just to get her on her nerves, I let out a scoff. Her face reddens in embarrassment for a split second, and I smirk in triumph. She regains her posture.

"Will you excuse us?" Lila asks me, batting her eyelashes at me. I lift my mask, and although she tries hard, I can see that she's intimidated by my look. She may be pretty, I think, but I'm ten times prettier.

"Listen, we don't get an open session every day," I say as coldly as possible, glaring at her and taking a step forward with my sword. "Adrien and I want to fence more together, Adrien's just too polite to say so."

"Erm," Adrien says nervously. He doesn't deny it.

Lila's eyes are full of hurt as she looks at me, searching for any sign of pity. She closes her eyes. "I'm not free every day, and this is a great opportunity for me," she says quietly. "But I understand if you don't want me here. Maybe I should have stayed on the other side of the world, my return is causing so many problems." she sighs. "It's okay."

Even Adrien's expression is touched for a bit, then hardens when he remembers that Lila's a liar.

I don't soften up one bit under the lie. "You're right it is," I retort. "Now get lost."

Instead of following my instructions, Lila glares at me with equal force. "Now listen here," she says, pointing me and trying to stab me in the chest. Instinctively I block her attack with my sword, but I don't retreat.

"Adrien is in my class, and he and I were the best of friends before I had to move to Achoo over the summer!" she says, tears at the brim of her eyes. "And when I come back, everyone seems to hate me! Adrien doesn't act the same, Chloe hates me, Marinette, you… why? What did I do wrong?"

"Everything," I reply coldly, and without hesitation. Now the tears flow freely as she turns to Adrien. "Adrien… can Kagami and I talk quietly for a moment?"

Adrien opens his mouth to respond, but Lila's already pushing me back into the locker room. Shutting the door, she flings off her mask and takes a deep breath. Then her frown turns into a smirk. "You are good," she says, looking up at me in a triumphant way.

"Yes," I agree. "Better than you."

"You really think that Adrien and you will be friends forever?" she asks, trying to back me up into a wall. "Soon, when Adrien falls for me, I'll make sure you don't have any friends."

"You can't," I say, attacking. It reminds me of fencing; Lila just missed her target. Now it's my turn to riposte. "In fact, you can't harm me in any way. What do you think you'll do? Adrien knows that you're a liar. And I know that Adrien's too good for you."

Lila laughs coldly. "I see that you have feelings for Adrien."

I don't take the bait. "Adrien is my best friend," I say instead. "And we love each other in our own way. You can't break our relationship no matter how hard you try."

"Just you wait and see," Lila responds, tossing her hair. "And believe me when I say this, Kagami, I can do anything I set my mind too. And no one can stop me." Before she can leave, I say something that stops her in her tracks.

"I'd like to see you try."

Lila growls and mutters some curse words under her breath before continuing to leave the locker room.

Stepping out as well, Lila desperately tries to get Adrien's attention, but it's like she's invisible to him. When I wave, he immediately catches the gesture and comes in my direction, walking right past Lila. Lila growls.

"How'd it go?" Adrien whispers in my ear as we walk to a fencing strip together.

"Not bad. Lila lost. She's going to try to turn you against me, against Chloe, Marinette, against everyone except for her. She's really crazy about you."

"But I can see that you're smarter and a step ahead of her," Adrien fist-bumps me. In return, I knock him down with my saber again, and he pokes me in the stomach. Ouch.

You know, Adrien and I are great friends.
