AN: I've decided that this will be the final Chapter of Making Friends because I'm currently planning more stories and I keep forgetting about this one. I hope you have enjoyed this series. If you have tell me what you enjoyed in reviews. Thank You for reading and I'll see you all later!
The class were taking their lunch break in the cafeteria. Liam was sliding his tray along the line. "Can I get a blueberry muffin, please?"
"Just take it, Liam." Lila said. "You don't need to ask for it."
"Manners cost nothing, Lila."
"Says the guy who humiliated a girl because she wounded his ego!"
"You'll never let me live that down, will you?"
The two slid along the line for drinks. "Not till I stop breathing!"
"Naturally." Liam and Lila picked their drinks and walked over to a table but before they could sit down, Lila bumped into a short blonde girl wearing a grey jumper over a white shirt and black tie, a grey skirt, black tights, and black shoes. Their trays flew into the air and their drinks spilled over them. Food fell to the floor and Liam slipped, throwing his tray up in the air, falling backwards and hitting the back of his head on the side of a table, causing him to black out.
"Watch where you're going, American!" Lila shouted as she pushed the girl away. The girl shoved Lila back and then. POW! Lila punched the girl in the face, triggering a full fist fight. The girl charged at Lila and pushed her to the floor. The girl was about to break Lila's jaw when some teachers arrived and rapidly pulled her away.
"Dana Clinton!" Mr. Damocles shouted. "Lila Rossi! My office, NOW!" Lila and Dana got up and walked away. Lila noticed a golden butterfly brooch had fallen off of Dana's jumper. She picked it up before she stood up to walk out. Damocles stayed for a minute as he keeled down to examine Liam. "Liam, can you hear me?" Liam slowly woke up, groaning in pain. He saw Damocles lurking over him.
"I hope you didn't kiss me, Damocles!" Liam joked, before passing out again.
Liam woke up in the nurses office. The pain from his head hit him like a baseball. He reached hid hand round to his wound and then moved it back to see that he had blood on his hand. The nurse walked in.
"You hit your head hard." She said.
"I can feel it." Liam replied.
The nurse examined the wound. "A little bleeding. Just a cut, though. I'll clean the wound and put an ice pack on it. Have you been feeling any other symptoms?"
"I'm feeling a bit dizzy. What happened?"
"Two students bumped into each other and in the chaos, you slipped on some milk and... well, I won't mention what the girls did but you woke up and Principal Damocles that you hoped he didn't kiss you."
Liam gasped. "I didn't!"
"You did!"
Liam was gobsmacked. "I'm gonna have to apologize." At that moment, Dana walked in. "Are you okay?" Dana looked at Liam and nodded. Tears were running down Dana's face. "Hey, what's wrong?" Dana took a pen and a stick-it note and wrote on it. She handed it to Liam. Liam read it. My brooch is gone and I think Lila took it. I need it back. "Must be a special brooch." Dana wrote another note and Liam read it. My dad gave it to me before he died. "Oh... I'm, uh, so sorry." Dana wrote another. Not your fault. Please get it back. I go back to America tomorrow.
"I'll speak to Lila. If she took it, she won't keep it." Dana hugged Liam. "My pleasure. I assume that was a Thank You." Dana nodded.
Liam had now left the school for the day and was waiting for Bridgette to pick him up. He examined his wallet and found that his money had been stolen. "I swear, if it was you, you little-!"
"You've been robbed too?!" Alix shouted.
Liam turned around. "One thousand euros, gone!"
"Looks like my watch has been nicked, too!"
"A girl told me that her brooch had gone missing. She's accusing Lila."
"Either her or Chloe." Alix said as Bridgette pulled up. "You check Chloe, I'll check Lila." Liam got in the car.
"Ready to go home, Liam?" Bridgette asked.
"Not yet. I need to go to Lila Rossi's home. I got the address." Bridgette drove off.
The two pulled up at Lila's address. "Bit of a dump, this place." Bridgette commented.
"I'll deal with this." Liam got out and knocked on the door. After 10 seconds, a woman opened. "Sorry to disturb you, madame. Is this the address of Lila Rossi?"
"What do you want with my daughter?" The woman responded.
"She's been accused of stealing a gold butterfly brooch, a very unique pocket watch and a thousand euros."
Lila's mother groaned. "Lila Rossi, you get your hide here NOW!" Lila slowly walked down the stairs and grew scared when she saw Liam.
"Oh, no!" She whispered.
"I just want back what you stole, Lila. I'll forget all about it." Lila went back upstairs and brought down what she'd stolen. She gave Liam everything.
"I'm sorry, Liam." She began to cry.
"Lila!" A man called out, before coughing extensively. "Please tell me you didn't steal anything!"
"I couldn't let you suffer, padre!" Lila defended herself before turning back to Liam. "Now you know!" Lila went back upstairs, balling, crying her eyes out.
"I'm sorry for that." Lila's mother said.
"Madame..." Liam made a quick decision. "The brooch and watch belong to other students at our school but the money is mine. I don't mean to insult you if that is what I do but..." Liam handed back the money. "Take it. I'm the President's son, I can survive without it."
"Oh!" Lila's mother was now scared. "Th-Thank You, young man."
"No problem. Forgive me for preaching, but did someone set you up in this place?"
"We were re-homed here, ordered by Mayor Bourgeois. We're cold most nights and we've no hot water."
"Thanks, Madame." Liam went back to Bridgette's car. "Time to visit the fat man himself."
At the Mayor's office, Liam was storming through the corridor. "Don't even knock, kick it in!" Liam said to himself. And that's what he did. He booted the doors almost clean off their hinges. "Bourgeois!" Mayor Bourgeois screamed in panic. "Chloe's demands stop here!" The Mayor hid under his desk. "A 54-year-old scared of a boy just over a quarter of his age. What did Audrey see in you? Back on topic, you're gonna give Lila Rossi and her family a home that they actually feel safe in! And provide them with free heating and water for six months!"
"I-I-I-I can't do that!" The Mayor protested. "There has to be equal water and heating bills for-!"
"Spare me the rules! You broke them to hurt that family, you're gonna break them to heal them. You see, Andrew-"
"It's André."
"Zip it!" André cowered at Liam's scorns. "I can be even worse than Chloe if you really rile me up. I don't even need an akuma to kick your butt. Get them moved to somewhere safe. Unlike Chloe, I ain't afraid to get my hands dirty!"
"Okay, okay! I'll get them moved, but the father needs medical treatment for Tuberculosis!"
"I'll sort that out AND pay for those six months water and heat as long as you make good on re-housing them. You do not want me to come back here!"
"I will! I will!"
"Cool!" Liam's mood changed drastically. "Then we're done. Thank You for that, sir. Keeping making Paris great!" Liam walked out. André sniffed and realized he needed to change his trousers...
At Charles de Gaulle Airport the next day, Dana was waiting anxiously in a seating area. All of the sudden, amongst the crowd emerged Liam. Dana stood up as he reached her. "Is this your father's brooch?" Liam showed the brooch to Dana, who slowly took it and then jumped into a hug with Liam. The next thing is what really took Liam by surprise.
"Thank you." Dana said quietly.
Liam just returned the hug. "You're welcome." Liam let go. "You know, I didn't get your name."
"Dana Clinton. My father was Noel Clinton."
"All passengers for flight 157 to New York City. The plane is ready to board."
"See you around, Dana." Liam smiled.
"Might be sooner that you think!" A male voice said behind Liam. Liam turned to see an 18-year-old male with curly auburn hair with a short beard. Liam froze as the man walked past him and took Dana's hand. "Ready to go home?" The man and Dana walked through the terminal to board, Dana turning to wave at Liam as she escaped sight...
The Hornet landed on the school's roof after leaving the airport and changed back into Liam. He managed to climb down into Miss Bustier's classroom. He closed the window and turned only for Lila to face him.
"I can't thank you enough, Liam!" She said. "I owe you."
Liam shrugged his shoulders. "No, you don't."
