"Whatcha thinking about?" Chat asked me as I looked through my notes for class. Today was... Saturday morning. It was midnight at the club and it was very busy. So busy that I decided to hang out on the rooftops with Chat and do my homework.

"Adrien." I responded. "He was... nothing."

"I know he's nothing." Chat said as he places a hand on my shoulder. "He's weak, useless, and just pathetic above all."

"Don't say that!" I shouted. I disliked Adrien but I didn't hate him! What does Chat have against him?

"Why not? He has no balls to even save his own life, let alone his friends!"

"Why do you dislike him?" I asked. Chat rolled his eyes at my words.

"Adrien's the sort of guy that annoys me, you know..." Chat started. "Born with looks and no brains. Being nothing more but eye candy for the world to watch and drool over. Its pathetic, looks don't last forever, and the day he realizes that! Is the day I will take over the world."

"Did he do something to you?" I asked.

"Sort of..." Chat said. "And speaking of Adrien, I heard you and him are partner's together for some sort of work thing."

"Yea, my class has to set up Chloe's fashion show. I think Adrien and I are part of the decoration crew." I said to him. He sticks out his tongue for a bit, playing with his black jewel that had a neon green cat print in the middle. I watched as he pulls and tugs at the small thing with his teeth. He had a very long tongue, it amazed me. I wonder what it would be like to lick it with my tongue...WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST THINK!?

"You okay?" Chat asked, he notice my distressed expression.

"I was thinking how to approach Adrien when class comes around." I said, trying my best to play dumb.

"Just talk to him." Chat told me.

"Or I could ignore him." I said.

"Stop being a pussy." Chat growled at me.

"Uh..."I looked around the area to find a way to change the subject. "So, do you know where I can...get a tattoo?"


(An hour later)

WHY DON'T I THINK!? WHY DON'T I USE MY GOD GIVEN BRAIN!?

I was currently sitting on a leather seat in a tattoo parlor with a punk-goth looking skinny guy hovering over me with a needle in hand! I was in downtown Paris where people go to do drugs, smoke pot and...well basically everything you do at the Akuma but it was on the streets. After a long talk with Chat, he convinces me to come to this place and get a tattoo on my arm for the dumbest of reasons. The problem-I HATE NEEDLES!

"Okay, so what am I drawing?" The man asks us.

"A cat" Chat said. "Then we can be twins."

"No." I said.

"Ladybug?"

"No."

"Bunny?"

"No."

"A penis?"

"FUCK NO!" I shouted.

"Lady, we came here to put something on your body! Your not leaving till something is in your flesh!" Chat shouted at me.

"Chat I am so scared! I hate needles!" I shouted. "Especially that one!"

"Aw come one! it will look so cute on you!"

"Can't I get a piercing in my ear?" I asked.

"I mean sure, like 99% of our female classmates." Chat said. "Come on, do something different."

"Easy for you to say! I am not badass to the point I can have three piercings!" I shouted. "Let alone a tiny tattoo! What if I am banished to hell for an eternity for marking my body! What do you and your three piercing say about that!?

"Four." Chat responded, making my head turn to see him point to his ears(2), his tongue(1) and his stomach(1).

"Really!?" I asked.

"Yes, now be a bad bitch and get a tattoo!" Chat said. "Or, go back to being normal."

"Um..." Why do I feel like I am getting pressured into doing stuff? I mean...piercing are cool and all, but to get one is so scary! I remember those videos in school I was shown about teens and piercing. How it leads to crime and stuff. And what if Chloe's dad finds out? I can get kicked out of the school and...and...what the hell am I saying? I am letting fear make my choices...and also the cat himself. No! I am not getting a tattoo! No way!


(Monday, two days later)

Ugh, note to self, stop listening to Chat! He is a dumb ass that will ruin my life...but I do feel so hip and cool right now! Oh my gosh, I can't wait to show Alya my piercings! Yes, I got two of them!

"Hey girl!" Alya shouted. Oh my gosh, here she is! I can't wait to tell her. Well sort of tell her, my tongue is a bit sore, so my words don't come out like I want them too.

"Hoi!" I said. Oh great, even a greeting sounds like crap. Alya gave me a confused expression.

"You okay?" Alya asked. In haste, I took her by the hand and led her to the girl's bathroom. Once inside, I take a deep breath before saying:

"I got a piercing." I said, oh crap...

"What?" Alya asked.

"I got a Peershing!" I said but louder this time.

"Girl I am so confused. Are you saying you got a piercing or your pushing?" Alya asked me. At this point I knew my words weren't going to reach her. So at that point, I just opened my mouth to show her the Ladybug piercing on my tongue, and then pulled up my shirt to show her my stomach piercing. Or belly button piercing. Alya drops her phone in shock as her eyes widen in fear at what she saw.

"Oh my god!" Alya practically shouted. "Girl, you can get into so much trouble! But the ruby thing on your stomach looks nice though."

"Thang who!" I said. Ugh, this lisp thing is really going to drive me nuts! Good thing it will disappear by tomorrow.

"So quick question, how are you going to explain this lisp to the mayor?" Alya asked.

Fardon?" I asked.

"He's coming in today to watch the singing auditions, Your suppose to be performing today. Didn't you get the email?" She asked me. Right on cue, my phone made a blinking sound to notify me that I had just gotten an email from my school.

"Oh no..." Alya muttered.

"I HANT PO THIS! HISTEN TO WE!" I shouted, my god this lisp is awful.

"Yea..." Alya said. "Any ideas on what to do then?"

"HWACK!" I shouted. This is not going to end well. Maybe I could avoid it! Maybe I can reschedule for tomorrow! Yea, I will do that! I just need to talk to my teacher and ask if I can perform tomorrow!

"You cannot skip to tomorrow!" My teacher tells me as she tries to push my tiny body on to the stage. I didn't want to do this! Especially in front of my classmates and...WHAT IS GABRIEL DOING HERE!? WHY IS HE HERE!? OH DEAR HOLY SPIRIT! WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME!
Wait, why am I doing bible verses? I havent read the bible in ten years.

"Marinette!" Alya shouted to me. Standing in front of a MIC, I turn my attention to the crowd of students that were my classmates and other students. "Just take the F!"

"No!" The mayor shouted. "She must sing like everyone else here. If not I will see to it that she does not get a single credit this entire production."

"Are you kidding me!?" Adrien asked. "Dude, leave her alone!"

"Be quiet!" The mayor growled at Adrien, making his tail go in between his legs. Maybe Chat was right, maybe he was weak. And why was he so scared of the Mayor? Did something happen between those two? Ugh, I don't want to know! As the music starts, my head begins to spin as I look around the room. Everyone had a phone out, just wait for something to record. Ugh, I hated it! Okay, music is starting, let's just get this over and done with! Alright..

Hen hou whavate aif is weaving...oh cod.

One sentence in, and everyone is already laughing at me. I wanted to crawl into a hole and die at this point. Even that fat fuck was laughing at my pain! How fucking dare he laugh at me! Ugh, anger...it was growing inside me...I wanted to do something bad...I wanted to jump off this stage and punch someone!

"YOU ALL SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!"

Adrien shouted, was...was he standing up for me!? He was standing next to Chloe as he yelled at his classmates, his cheeks were red and his eyes were that of anger.

"Adrie-kins, calm down." Chloe said, but that didn't stop Adrien's rant.

"You people are all horrible! How dare you laugh at your friend and record her! People like you should go to hell!" He shouted, the next that happened was a surprise even to me. His father smacked him over the head before dragging him out the room. In haste, I walked off stage the second Gabriel dragged Adrien out the room. I walked towards the corner where my book bag was. Picking up the large holder, a red envelope falls to the ground, making a small sound when it hit the floor. Bending down, I picked it up envelope. It was...for me...written in a black sharpie, it read:

TO M

Opening the envelope, my eye widens in shock and fear. It was a picture of a blonde woman...she was gaged with multiple straps holding her to a pole of some sort. There were cuts all over her legs and thighs. The woman was very skinny and her naked body seemed to be skin and bones. I couldn't recognize who she was because of the black straps over her eyes and cuts on her face.

But my life changed at that moment...that moment when I turned the picture around...I saw two words...written in red liquid. Two words that made my heart nearly stop:

UR NEXT
