I have decided to continue! I'm pretty sure this is gonna be longer than anticipated because I have a habit of making stories go more in detail and longer than I should. I also forgot to add in Lila when I wrote 'Only she and Adrien were confused, it seemed.' so basically, I needed a chapter idea and got it. Be aware this also include what happens the next day. I passed 1k words with this chapter alone and I hope I didn't disappoint.
'Nino. Chloe.'
Lila watched, wide-eyes as they listened to the brat's command like she was a queen and were happy of oblige. Out of everyone, she thought Chloe could at least make a decent ally, as they both hated Marinette, but this was an unexpected turn.
With a quick glance across the room, everyone seemed to know what was happening. She was not only baffled, but shocked and angry. How in the world did she get everyone so worked up that quick? Adrien and Alya shared a looked of confusion.
Suddenly, they started reciting poems. Stalking the halls? Eye in the sky? Ruining careers? 'Puh-leez!' She thought. How were they gonna do that?
"Beware Alya, you just started a war. Not just you, this whole class. Watch out. The Diamond trio is back!"
The Diamond Trio?
Ringgggg~!
Class was out.
Lila woke up in the morning the next day to text messages from Alya, telling her to get to school quick. (She didn't)
When she arrived, she started telling Alya what she wanted to hear and suddenly, the doors flew open. She couldn't see due to the light, but when it dimmed, she saw three figures. 'Mari-brat? Lahiffe? Daddy's girl?'
Marinette's hair was down and the three looked like royalty.They were even wearing capes.
(A/N: I can't really describe so all I'll say is that Chloé and Marinette are wearing boots and Nino is wearing fancy looking sneakers- at least he thinks so.-Chloe has royal yellow nail polish and Marinette has blood red. Marinette's earrings were altered and now have marooncolored diamonds in the middle with the usual black, along with a purple skirt. Chloe has a yellow hair combin the shape of a diamond withdark grey and yellow skirt. Nino has a ring that looks a lot like Adrien's miraculous when he's not transformed with a navy blue diamond print on it. His hat is a darker shade. All three also have a black shirt and a jean jacket. Sorry, I'm no fashionista or anything. Not really my department.)
There was a collective gasp.
"Students of Françoise Dupont!" She boomed, securing all the attention of the students including hers and Alya's "Yesterday, we were tested! Wrong! Two students, Alya Césaire and Lila-"
"Liar!" Chloé interrupted.
"-Rossi! messed with one of us, so they messed with all of us! Yesterday we came back, full force!"
Slowly and steadily, Marinette put her hair in a braid.
Most of the lunchroom was murmuring at this point, thinking about what could've happened to cause this.
Marinette silenced them.
"You all know the rules, no one under our age will be involved and to those who don't know, we are Red Diamond!"
"Yellow Diamond!"
"And Blue Diamond!"
"Together we make-"
"The Diamond Trio!" They announced in unison.
Red Diamond/Marinette slowly strutted to Lila and her follower, Nino/Blue Diamond and Chloe/Yellow Diamond, following suit.
'Drama queen.' She thought
They stood tall and menacingly as they strode, the students parting for the trio.
Lila had already been keeping her facade on and pretending to be upset and then started 'crying' to gain attention from Alya. It worked and she comforted her.
When they reached the tables, they started circling it like sharks.
"So, how does it feel?" Chloe asked "Being our newest targets? Must be an honor that you were so stupid you brought us back." She stopped right at their faces as the other two stood behind her. "Oh wait, I know. You feel like utter losers." She laughed and let Nino take hold of their talk.
He crossed his arms. "Alya, babe, I love you, but this is dumb."
"It's not!"
"Really?"
"Really! Marinette is bullying Lila!" She not-so-subtly gestured at the 'sobbing' girl.
"Oh come on! She's clearly faking!" Chloe shouted. Nino nodded at that.
She prepared to bite back at them but Red Diamond took the stage.
"If I were you, I would leave. We prefer gullible people stay away while we're around." She addressed in an icy tone that made all arguments on Alya's tongue to die in that instant and for Lila to stop crying for a second in surprise. Who knew she had a spine?
Alya lead Lila outside but she paid no mind. All she could think about was how odd that confrontation was.
The day only got weirder. The three were approaching people they had previously not associated with much or even at all. They had gone to kids all over the school and given them who knows what. When she asked Alix what was happening, she only answered with this;
Alix had pulled her into a closet and turned on the light after shutting (more like slamming) the door.
"What-"
"Shhh! They'll hear you." She peeked out at the trio walking through the halls like royalty.
"Can you tell me what's going on?"
"Uh, yeah. So, Nino, Chloe and Marinette used to rule the school and they were totally cruel. Like, making-sure-people-got-jobs-at-a-fast-food-restaurant cruel. They usually didn't mess with people who didn't do anything, so as long as you didn't do anything, you were safe. The three of them are giving out bracelets. Getting one means you're on their side. If you don't get one by the end of the day, you're officially and enemy of the school.
Lila smiled as she absorbed this information she could use to her advantage. "Thanks Alix."
"No problem." Her eyes darted as she peeked outside again. "Gotta go, bye!"
So, bracelets, huh? Easy enough, she could find someone with a bracelet and make a copy, or lie her way into getting them.
She was planning in class when they came in.
"Kim."
"Sabrina."
"Adrien."
Nino, Chloe and Marinette announced their names and made eye contact with each, basically saying to come up.
Sabrina and Kim did with confidence and didn't falter in the slightest. Adrien though... pretty bad for a model.
"You three will be our assistants. You will stay with us at most times at school and if you'd like, you could suggest a meeting to see what our changes will be this year."
Lila gritted her teeth. Adrien with Marinette at almost all times!? Seemed unfair. Most of the class must've agreed because Chloe spoke before anyone else could.
"You know the drill. I get Sabrina, Nino gets Kim and Marinette gets Adrien."
Nino shot a glare to the class that said 'Fight us, I dare you.' No one did.
They sat in silence for a few seconds.
"If that's settled, let's get on with this, I'm utterly bored." Chloé whined.
"Right. Nathaniel, Juleka, you can get your bracelets after class."
Then, well, they just left.
And the class continued like nothing happened
This felt a bit too short but all I can say is that next chapter is for sure Adrien's and I cropped out half of my ideas because it's a Lila chapter and it would be too long and basically just all my notes on what to and to not add
