Sabrina was bored. Nothing exciting had happened all week. She was scrolling through Whamstagram disliking the 7th story that day from Lila. All of them were about how mean Mari was for getting Alya akumitized and how Ladybug and Chat Noir let her help them save Alya.
'What a joke, who does that girl think she is,' Sabrina scoffed, 'She is so annoying, and has a horrible fashion sense'.
She was at Lilas house sitting on her bed watching Lila try on her new clothes that the "Queen of England" had sent her, while Sabrina was on her phone, Alya was waiting eagerly for the next outfit. Lila stepped behind the corner and said, "What do you of this"
"Fab-u-lous," said Sabrina, the tuned her head, closed her eyes and gagged at the monstrosity that Lila was wearing. She opened her eyes and saw a picture of Lila that was "painted by Yayoi Kasuma" (Please go look her up, she is an amazing artist!) She gagged again, this time almost throwing up.
"Ooh! I know, let's go shopping! I'll pay since, you know, I'm rich!" Lila said twirling around in her ugly dress.
"Oh, that's such a good idea Lila, maybe that will cheer me up." Alya said smiling brightly at Lila.
"I know" Lila said flipping her hair behind her head.
"Ok," Sabrina said thinking that if Lila was really as rich as she said, she was totally getting a new phone, hers was cracked and old. Chloe had stolen it for some reason and she had to go to her house to get it back. 'Chloe is such a jerk,' Sabrina fummed getting her things following Lila and Alya out of the house to go to the mall. While they walked, Lila kept blabbering about how she was going to Egypt to see the Prince while Alya was looking at the ground being depressed, and Sabrina was on her phone looking at a peach dress.
"Hey guys," they heard and looked towards the sound to see girls at Juleka's boat house, and they were coming over.
'Great, more people," Sabrina thought annoyed but put on her best fake smile as they ran over and she got sucked up in a big group hug. Out of nowhere, Alya burst out crying and was sobbing something about Mari, Nino, and how great the friends she had were. Sabrina rolled her eyes as the girls consoled her, she looked away and saw something shocking, "Hey girls, look at this". At the entrance of Stargles, there was ADRIEN holding hands with MARINETTE, who was also holding hands with NINO, who was holding hands with CHLOE, wait, MARINETTE! What was she doing here, Sabrina looked behind her to see 6 gaping mouths.
"When did they become friends?" Alya asked, "It seems like Marinette just forgot about me." Alya said running to the store to see her former best friend.
"Hey Marinette," Alya said, the four friends stop in their tracks and turned around to see Alya, Sabrina, Lila, and the girls jogging towards them.
"Hey guys," Marinette said so quietly that they can barely hear her.
"What are you guys doing here, didn't you get expelled?," siad Lila pointedly at Marinette.
"Yeah, thanks for that, Lila," Marinette said glaring
"I don't know what your talking about," Lila said innocently
"Why did you leave me," Alya blurted out
"You left me remember," said Marinette giving Alya a pointed look
"What are you talking about? Lila was right, you have changed. " Alya said running to the bathroom crying.
'I can use this to my advantage,' schemed Sabrina as she ran after Alya.
"Hey Alya," said Sabrina softly as she knocked on the stall
"Leave me alone," sobbed Alya
'Brat,' thought Sabrina, "I know how we can get back at them". The stall door opened to reveal a very unkempt Alya, her hair was messy and her eyes were red and wet.
"How" Alya sobbed wiping her nose on her sleeve.
"Well, before I tell you, you have to promise something."
"What?"
"I want you to be my friend."
"Really? That's it? Ok." Alya said hesitantly.
"Ok, but before I tell you the plan let's go shopping."
"Why?"
"To solidify our friendship."
"Ok"
Sabrina and Alya walked around the mall. Sabrina finally stopped when she saw a beautiful dress. It was gold and sparkly and was absolutely gorgeous. She walked into the store, Alya following close behind.
"Hello, welcome to Ucci!" An over excited salesperson said. Sabrina ignored her and kept walking towards the rack with the dress on it. She picked up the smallest size without trying it on and walked to the cash register.
"That will be 190 please." The person cashing her out said. Wow, that was a lot of money.
"Hey, Alya. Will you pay for me?" She said with her most convincing puppy dog eyes. "I left my wallet at home."
"Why?" Alya said questionably
"Well, friends help each other out." Sabrina said.
"Ok, I'll pay for you." Alya said.
After getting her bag with her dress and walking out of the store Sabrina handed her bag to Alya.
"What's this for?" Alya asked.
"My arms are tired, I was hoping you could help me out. You know like friends do?" Sabrina said.
"Oh, sure." Alya said, taking Sabrina's bag. They walked out of the store to find Lila, and they did, not the way that they thought though. They found her at the park, her face was red with anger and her fists were clenched. This was mirrored on the girls, Marinette, Nino, Chloe and Adrien.
"What's going on," asked Alya a bit nervous.
"This little brat said that Lila was a snotty liar and her freaky friends agreed," snarled Juleka glaring at Marinette.
"Who knew that you know more words than mumbling," Chloe said defensively
"Well as least she doesn't make people feel bad," said Rose
"You guys make me feel bad, you know why, because I have known you all since kindergarten and you chose to trust the new girl and turn your backs on me," seethed Marinette.
"We trust her because she has a lot of stuff and something to live for, and people who love her," said Alix glaring while the girls nodded and Lila smirked in the background. Chole, Adrien and Nino looked taken aback while Marinette raised her eyebrows.
"So your saying that you trust people who are "rich and famous" and not people who you know," Marinette said tapping her chin thoughtfully, she gestured to Adrien and said calmly, "Adrien is rich and famous but he doesn't go spewing lies everywhere". The girls were shocked with Marinette's confidence because she had always been so quiet and never had much self-confidence, but her new friends were standing proudly behind her. She spoke again, "One day you're going to find out the truth and when you do, don't come running back to me," and with that, Marinette and her friends walked away. Of course, as soon as they left Lila burst into tears and the girls rushed to console her. 'Cry baby,' thought Sabrina as she made Alya go get a smoothie because 'friends should keep track of the others health'.
