Marinette's POV

Marinette walked away and took the long way back home through the park. She looked around and saw a ladybug on a leaf. She remembered Alya said one time that ladybugs are lucky, she scoffed. Lucky indeed. If they were lucky then why was her life like this?

She sighed and walked into the bakery. She grabbed a couple cookies for Tikki because she knew that the kwami would be mad if she woke up without them. She made her way up to her room and set the treats next to the still sleeping kwami. She went into the bathroom and shut the door, looking at herself in the mirror. She grabbed makeup remover and internally groaned. If only makeup were as easy to remove like it was in Mulan.

After she scrubbed he face clean she let her hair out of the ponytail and got dressed into a pair of loose comfortable black shorts and a pink tank top. Tikki was eating the cookies and trying to ignore Marinette.

Marinette made her way to her bed and grabbed her laptop along the way. She collapsed on the bed and opened her laptop. She opened a new tab and started on her homework.

When it was around 8:00 at night after she had ate and finished her homework she got Tikki and transformed heading off to do patrol with Chat Noir.

Adrien's POV

Adrien thought about what Nino said. Could it be true? Was Marinette the one who was making them do this?

... Was she the one who hurt Alix?

Adrien really had no idea what they'd done to make her do this to them. That is, if it was her. He thought back to what Juleka and Rose said.

"Isn't it obvious? The photo."

"She was telling everyone how it wasn't real."

Adrien was currently in his room pacing, but when he remembered those words he stopped moving. He was snapped out of his thoughts by Plagg yelling at him that it was time to patrol with Ladybug, and that he wanted cheese. Adrien rolled his eyes and transformed, heading towards the meeting spot to see his lady.
