Adrian was getting angrier, not only had he missed two more fights but the school was treating his classmates like pariahs. Suddenly Lila came and asked "Adrian, I was wondering if you wanted to study after school, we can meet in the library, or at your place," Adrian said "I'll have to pass." Lila said "Oh well how about we meet for lunch." Adrian said "I don't think so." Lila asked "What's wrong?" Adrian said "Are you serious, our class, are being treated like pariahs, because of your lies." Lila said "I didn't lie!" Adrian said "I know you accused of kids bullying you because they knew facts of bands or were doing research projects which contradicts your stories. And now because of it everyone is avoiding our class, people that have been being nice to you. If things don't get better, I'm worried my father will home-school me again." Lila said "I didn't mean to hurt you." Adrian frowned and said "Yeah right!"
The next day at Marinettes school, she and her art class were going to Paris for a few days on a field trip. The art teacher Ms. Forest, who had purple hair in a side braid, blue eyes, and wore a neon orange hoodie, jeans and runners said "Alright class as you know we're going to be in Paris to explore and find inspiration, however, I want to make sure everyone has homework from other classes, I really don't want to be in trouble because this field trip interferes with your classes, so did everyone pack there homework and anything else they need." Everyone said "Yes, Ms. Forest!"
The bus parked at Le Grand Paris after checking in at the front desk, Mrs Forest said to the class "OK everyone, when I call your name please step to get your room key, and see who the person you'll be rooming with, they will also be your buddy." When she called Marinette she also called a girl Violet Gale, who had blond hair in a pixie cut, had gray eyes, and wore a black t-shirt, denim overall shots and black runners. When then went to there room, Marinette saw that Violet had all her binders, folders, notebooks and sketchbooks labeled and Marinette said "Wow, Violet, you sure are organized." Violet said "I really need those labels for me to find anything, because despite my name, I'm color blind, since I was born." Marinette said "Sorry, I didn't mean to insult you." Violet smiled and said "No need to apologize, I was most likely going to tell you so if when we look around, I ask about the color, you'll understand." Marinette nodded understanding and asked if she could see some of Violet's drawings knowing that in class she was very good. Violet agreed and handed on of her sketches. In it was a sketches of an anime version of Ladybug, there were some differences though the pigtails she used to have were longer and seemed to be held by long ribbons. Violet said "I know that's not quite how Ladybug looks, but that's how I imagine a anime version is like." Marinette said "I'm sure if Ladybug saw this, she would love it."
Ms. Forest let them explore on there own, but told them to be back at five thirty.
Marinette living Paris was the guide of them, they first stopped at her parent's bakery, mostly to see her parents, which Violet didn't mind, and partly to enjoy some goodies, that Violet absolutely didn't mind. The then took a bus to the see the Eiffel tower to the top Marinette may have got some inspiration for some designs (Mrs. Forest didn't mind when Marrinette showed her designs because fashion is a art) and Violet seeing the view sketched and showed her version of Ladybug and Cat Noir leaping the buildings. They then went to the Louvre (obviously they would go there for an art field trip)
As the were looking at the exhibits Marinette saw a depressed boy she knew and quietly asked "Marc?" Violet saw the boy and asked "Who's that?" Marinette said "A boy from my old school." Marinette said "Hi Marc." Marc finally noticed Marinette and said surprisingly "Marinette? I heard you went to boarding school." Marinette said "I did, on a field trip. What's wrong? Did people not like the comic you and Nathaniel work on?" Marc sighed and said "In a way, yes, Lila has been coming to our projects and mentioning these stories from her supposed BFF Ladybug, and causes Nathaniel to keep making changes without asking me about it, and it felt less and less true to the ideals for writing the comic and when I talked to Nathaniel said that if I didn't like I can walk, it was like I was his worker, not his partner or friend. And afterwords I haven't felt like writing" Marc showed comics that had Lila's stories. Violet seeing his depression said "It's alright, things will get better, I even where a necklace to help me when I feel depressed." She takes a necklace from under her shirt which has a charm of a rainbow coming out of a cloud. Violet said "My dad gave this to me to remind me that when things seem bad or cloudy, things will turn up." Marinette realized she hasn't introduced them and said "Oh, Marc this is Violet from my schools art class, Violet this is Marc, actually Violet, why don't you show him your sketches." Violet got her sketchbook of Ladybug and showed it to Marc, and Marc asked "Have you ever written a comic?" Violet said "I have wanted to, but I stink at writing." Marinette seeing that she was being a third wheel said "Hey Violet, how about I look around and we meet in the gift shop in an hour." Violet said "Sounds good."
While Marinette was walking along she thought she saw Nathaniel, but thought little of it. What Marinette failed to see was the look of jealousy of his face. Nathaniel was less than than thrilled Marc because Marc questioned Lila's contribution and walked away, and now he sees him hanging with another artist. Nathaniel followed Marc and Violet to the Cafe Mollien and sat at a table, with enough space to see and hear but far enough to avoid being noticed, he got his sketchbook, and drew a bit to avoid being noticed and after a bit the both decided to get beverages, leaving there bags at the table. Nathaniel decided to look in her bag and saw her work labeled and he had an idea for mean joke.
Marinette decided to have a quick drink and went to the Cafe Mollien and saw Nathaniel in Violet's bag and messing with her stuff and shouted "Nathaniel, what are you doing?" Nathaniel hearing Marinette's voice froze from fright. Violet and Marc were headed back and heard Marinette's yelling and ran to see both Nathaniel in Violet's stuff. Violet ran to her stuff was not only mess with, homework with sketches, but the labels were either covered in ink or removed all together. Marinette said "It's okay, we can re-sort them." Marc said "Yeah we'll just put the papers in the same color as they were." That made Violet angry and said "Easy for you to say! You can see color!" And Violet ran off leaving an upset Marinette and two confused boys. Marinette clarified saying "Violet is color-blind." Both boys hearing this was shocked, and Marinette said "Marc how abut you try to find her, I need to have a word with Nathaniel."
Marc took off, and Nathaniel could see he was in trouble. In order to defend himself he said "It was just a joke, I didn't know she was color-blind." Marinette said "Would you knowing have made a difference, or should it have? You draw with a passion, you should know that you don't joke around with an artists creations, this isn't like you." Nathaniel said "Well Marc turned on me and was replacing me with her, I thought she deserved it." Marinette slapped him in the face and said "From what I heard you turned on him first, by not listening to him and making him feel more like he worked for you instead of with you. Didn't you tell him if he didn't like how the comic was turning he could walk?" Nathaniel realizing he did say that nodded and Marinette said "And I don't really think he was replacing you, both you and Violet are talented artist, each in your own style. And it shouldn't be a big deal of him making a new friend, and she definitely didn't deserve her work all in a jumbled mess." Marrinette after saying what she needed to say left to find Violet, leaving Nathaniel with some things to think about.
