It's not that she wanted to sit near Adrien, it was because he was just so sweet and kind. She felt she would understand him more than any other girl, but she was wrong.

Lila had supposedly told Adrien that she hated him. That she thought of him as only a model and that she wanted him for his body. His signature looks. And even worse...The reason why she had all of those pictures in the first place.

The words fell from the bluenette's mouth. "Stalker.."

All said was not true. She was no longer allowed to go to his mansion or even hang out with him. These were things that Alya told Marinette. She had Alya for a week, but that ended as well, leaving Marinette to be alone and cry in the girl's bathroom. The only girl that was really her friend at that point was Chloe. Which was unusual because they hated each other.

They sided because they both knew Lila was a liar and Chloe knew that some of the things that Marinette had done weren't even true either. At least one good thing about this whole 'friendship' was that Chloe didn't know a thing about Marinette's crush on Adrien. Even if they were friends, she was still pretty sure that Chloe would lash out at her.

After all, as she remembered. Adrien and she had been friends since they were small, little, and adorable.

The blonde didn't like that Lila was hanging around her Adrien. Her best friend. She could tell he was miserable with her at the beginning. She saw how Lila hurt Marinette to be away from her friends. Even that would hurt her. But what greater good would come out of that? Sabrina..she didn't even believe Marinette and this was just so frustrating. If she could, she would grab the submissive girl by the shoulders and try to talk some sense into her. Even into Adrien.

But did he listen? No. Lila. Lila. LILA. Everything was always about her. She had ruined the bluenette's reputation with a single confrontation.

This time, Marinette had evidence that Lila was lying. Lying about how she and Adrien were dating and madly in love. No, he loved Ladybug. She was more courageous than her. She didn't get akumatized for her hero telling her the hard truth. Adrien was hers. And oh, how she dreamed of that pet hamster and whatnot.

Then again she wasn't his girlfriend. There was one time where she was his girlfriend and that made her heart flutter. That time being during Gorzilla. Though, she wasn't exactly his girlfriend. She only got mistaken for being his girlfriend.

Holding hands? Kissing his cheek?

Chloe even said he was hesitant to kiss back. This wasn't true love. This was forced. Yet, knowing Adrien, he had to give her what she wanted. He would never want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Kagami preferred to stay out of these sorts of conflicts. She felt he was going for the wrong girl. That girl being Lila. Though, she supported him as much as his father would.

In Ms. Bustier's class, while she was out, Marinette slammed her hand on the desk where Lila and Adrien sat together. Marinette overheard how Lila was flirting and giggling with Adrien.

"Ugh. What do you want Marinette? Aren't you supposed to be in the back?" she said innocently and clasped her hands together, putting them to the side.

Marinette could see right through this facade she built up.

"This isn't love."

"What are you talking about? We're made for each other!"

Unfortunately, Marinette didn't have Chloe around to help. And those words, 'we're made for each other' reminded her of Chloe saying that with Adrien. "No, it's not. You can't force love. It's not right. These things take time."

She pretended to cry again, making everyone turn against her. Presented on their faces were angry looks. "B-but I'm n-not!"

Adrien wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close to him. "Marinette, please go. You're hurting her feelings."

Her heart broke. She felt like she heard the words of 'I love her.' Even though that wasn't true, she couldn't help, but flee the classroom in embarrassment. She felt Lila giving her a smug look when she fled out. She imagined how Lila would cuddle in his arms and have everyone else fooled that she and Adrien were perfect for each other.

What kind of love potion did she have? No. It didn't matter.

Marinette had to deal with this until she soon got akumatized.

Plagg had reasoned with his chosen about how Marinette and Ladybug would never do any of those bad things. It was like arguing with a brick wall. He already knew what kind of person Marinette was. So sweet. She had cheese. Mmm. Cheese. "She's going to get akumatized."

He took that under consideration, wanting to help her, but didn't want to hurt Lila's feelings.

"She will save everyone, but never herself. You should really think about the hurt you might to cause to her. She has cheese and sweets."

"Lila's really nice."

"No, she isn't. She is saying lies. Lies about Marinette. Lies about where she's been. I saw her at her home."

"Where?"

"Where you had a picnic with Marinette and your other friends." Plagg tossed some cheese in his mouth, swallowing it whole. "You think she's all innocent, but she isn't." Plagg also knew who Ladybug was.

Sure she might have some big crush on Adrien, but that didn't mean all he could in the girl who was under the mask was all about cheese. He witnessed the many times where she helped people. And he was glad Tikki had a holder who wasn't Lila or Chloe.
