After Lila had finished telling the gruesome story of her childhood, Marinette could scarcely breathe.

"But Lila…"

Marinette questioned

"Why are you so mean at school?"

Lila sighed.

"In elementary school I was bullied for being messed up and a crybaby. In middle school, people didn't even acknowledge me. So I figured that it was better to be the hunter rather than the prey. I'm sorry, Marinette."

Marinette gingerly lay her gentle hand on the brunette's shoulder.

"You know, If you had told me all of this, I would have understood. Although we still might fight over Adrien."

Lila laughed, which surprised Marinette to no extent.

"The truth is, I never liked Adrien. I only went after him because he was rich. I wanted a chance at living the lush life. Don't get me wrong, Adrien is nice and all, but i don't like him like that. The truth is… I like Nathaniel."

Marinette smiled.

" I have a feeling that after this, we are going to become very good friends."
