A Miraculous Halloween

Chapter 4: Homeroom Drama

...

Marinette and Chloe were looking at each other with a furious rage in their eyes, while the whole class crowded around the fight they anticipated.

Marinette had very good reason to be angry at Chloe. The blonde brat had just called her a man-eater, and despite being the mayor's daughter, Chloe will NOT get away with it.

On the other hand, Chloe had a very bad reason to be angry at Marinette. Adrien had asked Marinette out for the Halloween dance, and Chloe was immediately infuriated. (Talk about anger issues.)

Adrien, in between the two girls, had really mixed feelings. He practically started the fight because he asked Marinette, so he should be the one arguing with Chloe. He could break up the fight right now, if he wanted to.

But a part of him wanted to see Marinette's angry side and see her roast the spoiled brat that was Chloe. A part of him wanted Chloe to get what she deserved: a telling off that would humiliate her.

And yes, Adrien recognized the possibility of an akuma attack if he didn't stop both girls.

But still, his "I hate Chloe" side won by a landslide versus the "good boy" side he was supposed to be.

And so, he didn't stop the two girls.

Marinette's face was turning crimson red with anger. "Did you just call me a… man-eater? Because I swear that this word is the exact description of you, Chloe. Besides, Adrien has the right to choose whoever he wants."

Adrien looked at Alya who was beside Marinette. She had taken out her phone from her bag and was video recording the argument.

Adrien kind of hoped it would be posted on her Ladyblog.

"Uh yes duh! That's so totally you," Chloe brattily flipped her ponytail in arrogance. "Not me. Only I deserve Adrikins. Your ugly face doesn't even deserve half of Adrien."

Marinette mockingly put a finger to her mouth, in a pose like she was thinking. "If I recall correctly, you're the one using too much clown makeup to cover up the ugliness of your face. Too bad you can't use makeup to cover your ugly personality."

Adrien gasped, impressed. 'Who knew sweet, innocent Mari can roast so well? From this point of view, seems like Marinette is winning already.' The boy thought.

Then he heard Kim's voice. "Oooooo! You got roasted, Chloe! Nice one Marinette!" Kim high fived the raven-haired girl, who took it, amused at Chloe's expression.

Chloe was clearly trying to think of a clever comeback, but she failed to do so. Instead, she said the first sentence that came to mind.

"Ugh, Mari-trash, just kill yourself." The blonde said, unable to think of anything witty.

"Heh, if I wanted to kill myself I would have jumped from you ego to your IQ level," Marinette smirked.

And then that's when everything went crazy.

At the first roast, her classmates (except Kim) didn't react that much yet, for they thought they were dreaming.

Who can blame them? It was unreal that sweet, pretty, kind Marinette could do something like this.

But when the second roast came to be, her classmates decided that this was real.

Really, really real.

It was real that Marinette was successfully putting down Chloe.

It was real that Chloe was actually practically wilting from Marinette's comments.

And so the class went crazy.

"OH MY GOD MARINETTE YOU'RE SUCH A PRO AT THIS!" Alix was screaming in amusement. "THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS! I LOVE YOUR ROASTS!"

"YOU GO, MARI! THAT'S RIGHT! KICK CHLOE'S ASS!" Alya joyfully cheered for her best friend.

Everyone was congratulating Marinette on her job well done (except Chloe). Even Sabrina had let out a small giggle and smile at Marinette.

Adrien was dumbfounded. No one, not even Adrien or the mayor himself, was able to make a laughingstock out of Chloe.

Until now, that is.

Marinette must have some skills to make Chloe speechless and appear as a fool.

Gazing at the girl, he wondered why he doesn't act like that around him.

After about 5 minutes, Marinette held up a hand, signaling her classmates to stop celebrating. "I'm not done yet," the girl snickered.

Chloe was fuming. If it was possible, there would be smoke coming out of her ears. She wanted to kill, crush, humiliate Marinette! And no one, no one ever called Chloe dumb to her face. It seemed like Marinette was the brave soul who stepped up to it, though.

"Did… did you just call me stupid?" Chloe growled.

Marinette, still amused, answered with a proud grin, "No, I said you have a low IQ level. Basically, I'm not saying you're stupid, it's just that you have bad luck when it comes to thinking."

Chloe bared her teeth in anger. "No one calls me stupid or any other bad thing. I am an epitome of perfection!"

"I'm sorry, Chloe," Marinette apologized, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm no astronomer, but I'm pretty sure the Earth doesn't revolve around you. It revolves around the sun, and you are no ball of sunshine."

Chloe was steaming with hatred for Marinette. She took out her phone, and dialed her father, the mayor's number.

"Shhh, shhh Chloe," Marinette soothed, rolling her eyes. "It's okay. Let me pour you a glass of get over it."

Chloe, still fuming, pressed the call button with a perfectly polished nail.

Now, Marinette was terrified. She could get suspended for this. She had forgotten that she was doing this to the Mayor's daughter. Mr. Bourgeois could kick her out of Collège Françoise Dupont with a snap of his fingers.

She paled visibly. But her classmates seemed to have noticed Marinette's terrified look and Chloe's satisfied smirk, so they started to stick up for Mari.

"Oh Chloe, I never knew you were such a snitch," Max teased.

"You know what they say," Nino glared at Chloe. "Once a daddy's girl, always a daddy's girl."

One by one, each classmate (except for Sabrina, of course), had something to say about Chloe's stuck up behavior. Even Rose, Mylene, Juleka, and Nathanael gave a few words for themselves.

Adrien stood tall. 'This is for all the times you bullied my friends and for all the times you were extremely obnoxious to me.' Adrien told himself, preparing a statement for Chloe.

"Chloe, will your drama ever have an intermission? Or will I have to find the mute button on you?" Adrien leered.

Chloe was very, very mad. "Even you, Adrikins?" she scowled. "Ugh, let's go Sabrina! The stank of loser reeks in here." And the blonde brat strutted off-campus, with Sabrina trailing behind her.

Good thing the teacher left the classroom when the fight started, because it was very, very chaotic.

All Marinette's classmates congratulated Marinette excitedly. Chloe rage quitting never happened before!

Adrien came up to Marinette, who was beaming proudly.

"Hey, Marinette," Adrien smiled. "Nice roasts! Congrats!" He offered a fist, and Marinette blushingly fist bumped Adrien.

"Uh, so, do you accept my invitation to go to the Halloween dance with me?" Adrien grinned.

Marinette tensed. She forgot about him asking her before the argument! But she had to react now, or she'll regret it forever.

"U-um. Of course Adrien! I would love to go with you!" Marinette blushed profusely as Adrien slipped the bracelet onto her wrist.

The class cheered for the couple as Adrien grabbed Mari and gave her a hug.

…

"I still cannot believe it!" Marinette rejoiced. "I roasted Chloe several times, plus Adrien asked me to go to the dance with him!"

Alya and Marinette were walking to the bakery after school. It had been about five hours after homeroom, where all the drama and action happened, but it just seemed like it was a few minutes ago.

Maybe because she daydreamed about the events repeatedly in class.

As an additional happy fact, Chloe (and Sabrina) had not returned since homeroom. She had no one pestering her for the rest of the day.

She was actually also surprised when there was no akuma attack. Chloe must be coping well.

Alya grinned, "Yeah, you're like a superhero today Marinette."

"I wish this would happen everyday, Alya! It would be so cool! And romantic if Adrien asks me out everyday."

"I know right Mari! But you gotta stop thinking about that and focus on our costumes! We have four days left to go!" Alya reminded Marinette.

"At least I have two full days before the dance to work on it," Marinette smiled confidently. After Tuesday, the school canceled classes in preparation for the Halloween dance.

"Right you are," Alya said as she heard a beep from her phone, "Oh, mom's telling me to come home. I gotta go now, girl! Byeeee!"

Marinette waved a goodbye to her enthusiastic BFF.

And with that, she walked home, still lost in her thoughts about what happened in homeroom.
