Ms. Bustier was at a loss. She did not know what to do. It started about 7 months ago, when a new transfer student showed up named Lila. Lila was very charming, and would entertain everyone at lunch with stories of her travels. She would miss weeks of school at a time gone on "trips". Ms. Bustier didn't know anything was wrong until the day she found Chloe crying in the bathroom.
Flash back:
'It had been a little while since class started. Everyone was there except for Chloe. Chloe had never been late once this school year so it was weird that she was that day. There was no call that she was sick, and everyone was saying they had seen her walking around. Ms. Bustier concluded that something must be wrong for Chloe to be late. She told the class to keep working on their projects and went looking for Chloe. She searched everywhere, even under the dusty stairs, and in the forgotten corners of the library, but she would have stopped looking if she hadn't heard sobs. Ms. Bustier heard someone crying hysterically in the girls bathroom. She opened the door to find, Chloe? Chloe was sitting on the floor crying over a picture of Sabrina. "M-ms. Bustier, I didn't see you there. I'm sorry I was late for class. I was looking for something important." Chloe said trying to leave.
"Chloe, are you alright? You can talk to me if you'd like."
"Ok." Chloe said sniffling. Chloe explainers to Ms. Bustier how mean Lila was, and what she was planning to do to Marinette.
"I'm sorry Chloe, but if Lila has proof that Marinette destroyed school property, I have to expell her."
"Well, what if I used that in my plan?" Said Chloe, mischief shining in her eyes.'
It had been a rough couple of weeks since then and Nino had already been akumatized, luckily Ladybug and Chat Noir had been there to save the day. Marinette being Mari definitely had a toll on the class, it wasn't as happy or cheerful as it used to. Not that Mari was bad, she was quite fun, but it was sad to see the class, most who have known Marinette for almost their whole lives, not recognize her. But she had better friends now, surprisingly including Chole and the boy she used to get red and stuttery in front of. It had been almost 2 months since Mari came, and almost a month since Nino had come back and she could see that he was doubting if Mari was really all that bad. Alyas temper had a short fuse and everyone else was gloomy. So when Ms. Bustier walked into the classroom on Friday, it was no surprise that Alya was screaming about how unfair it was that Ladybug and Chat Noir did not like her anymore, and everyone else looked depressed. Mari walked into class and looked around with a small frown. She turned to Ms. Bustier with a glint in her bluebell eyes, that made Ms. Bustier smile slightly. As she walked past, a box on the teacher's desk had appeared with a note that read,
To my former class, I hope you enjoy these coconut treats that I baked for you. Remember to stay happy and smile! From Marinette:)
Ms. Bustier smiled and got the class's attention, she read the note out loud and saw that the class's expression brightened a bit. They had small fond smiles for Marinette. Except for Lila of course, "Miss, I am allergic to Coconut and Marinette knows that". 'Great, another lie', she thought. "I am sorry Ms. Rossi, I guess you can't have any, wou-". Alya erupted again for the 10 time this week, it was really getting annoying. "YOUR THE TEACHER, AND YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO GIVE HER SOMETHING ELSE". "If you would have listened, than you would have known that she was going to do that," Mari said rolling her eyes, "If you keep yelling like that, you won't have many friends and could hurt your throat". Alya growled, "That will be enough Ms. Césaire, and as I was saying, Lila, would you like a chocolate chip cookie, Marinette has remembered you allergy to Coconut and has packed cookies for you". Lila started dumbstruck, as did the class. "Dig in," Ms. Bustier said turning the box around, as the class ran up and started stuffing their faces with Macrons, muffins, cookies and other pastries. Ms. Bustier went up to Mari and whispered thank you, and got a small smile in return from her as well as Chloe and Adrien. After their amazing snack, the class became more peppy and happy and all was well until Nino suggested that they should visit Marinette. Alya disagreed saying that Marinette did not want us to come over and she was being nice so she could backstab them. Mari looked uncomfortable and Chole and Adrien were quiet and trying to not get involved. But it did not work so well, " You two were hanging around Marinette before she got expelled, did she say anything about us,'' said Alix. "My question exactly," stated Max as the whole class turned to them. Noticing that they were not prepared to answer, Ms. Bustier got the classes attention again and told them to focus on class and talk about this later. 'This is going to be a rough year,' she thought…..
