Chapter 1: The New President.

...

Alya, along with the rest of the class, returned angrily to the park to confront Marinette, when the starry sky loathed over Paris.

And to everyone's surprise, they saw how the bluenette was ordering the dishes, and all the macaroni I had brought to the party left them in a garbage bag, and then dumped them in the containers that were not far from the place.

-Can you tell what you're doing? -The blogger inquired annoyedly, but the alluded to looked at him earnestly, and then sighed wearyly.

-I just get rid of these "toxic macaroni," it's not going to be that someone else is allergic and I don't know -the bluenette said dry, then organized the cutlery,-so I've decided not to cooperate with something done by me again, if you want macaroni, you'll have to buy them, since I don't want any more misunderstandings.

-You knew Lila was allergic! -Alya counterattacked, but the first to react was Nino, trying to calm her down.

-Please Alya, it's over, and besides, we know Marinette wouldn't be able to do something like that...,-the brunette refuted, but Marinette mocks her attitude.

-If did you know that, why you didn't defend me? -the girl demanded, and then addressed the rest of her companions- Are you forgot that we met first to organize everything? Are you forget I told you I was going to bring the coconut macaroni? Then why didn't Lila say anything about it at the time? -Everyone was silent, and Alya tried to excuse herself.

-Maybe she forgot, you know she suffers from memory problems -Marinette became offended and walked with a countenance so cold that he freezed the blood of the blogger.

-Are you listening to you? Something like that can't be forgotten, an allergy isn't a game, but for Lila, after all, she confessed to me that she only says what people want to hear -said young Dupain-Cheng dry, to which Alya turned red from outrage.

-Do you say again that she is a liar? -she retorted the brunette, gently pushing Marinette - I told you to stop that, just because you don't like her doesn't mean you should be talking about that nonsense.

-It's true, Lila isn't friends with Ladybug, she didnt travel to Achu or know Prince Ali, she didn't save Jagged Stone's cat, she has never worked with Clara Nightingale, she has never had tinitus or any disease and I can assure you that she doesn't care about any of you, you are only her slaves – Marinette's hard speech left her companions speechless , which went from surprise to offense.

-We aren't Lila's slaves! -Kim exclaimed, but in his words, the bluenette laughed eagerly.

-Really? How many times have you been after her every time she sheds her crocodile tears? Alya spends her time begging her for an interview with Ladybug; Nino still expects to get that autograph from his favorite director; Rose hasn't contacted Prince Ali; Nathaniel awaits that "contact" with that Japanese mangaka; not to mention Kim and Alix who are still waiting for video chat with their favorite Olympic athlete...

-THAT'S ENOUGH! -Alya interrupted him, and Marinette only looked at him with disdain.

-Its hurt, right? -Sarcastic asked the bluenette.

-The one she couldn't keep her promises... -replied Alya in her teeth, but a giggle of the girl interrupts her again.

- HA! For a year? As far as I know, Chloe can have and show off his contacts in record time, just as it did during the course representative elections when he got them Jagged Stone's autograph –Marinette sharpened his gaze towards the blogger, the one who swallowed dry- and not even speak when I managed to get you your first official interview with Ladybug in less than 24 hours, or when I convinced Clara that she would only be in her video if you were involved too.

-That's not... -Alya ran out of arguments, and Marinette lashed out.

-Although, seeing it from a certain point of view, I think Lila's arrival wasn't so bad, It opened my eyes to all of you –Marinette went to the table, and kept the last cutlery she had brought for the picnic -, you have never been my friends, only opportunists who took advantage of my goodwill, and when someone "interesting and famous" arrived they threw me without hesitation, after all, What is the sincere friendship of Marinette Dupain-Cheng, compared to all the "wonderful things offered by Lila Rossi"? -Everyone was silent, and Alya could see the tears of rage peeking into the girl's face—Was Marinette is her daily Ladybug? I see you like lying, I guess that's why they idolize Rossi so much, but don't worry! That from tomorrow things will be the way you all want them to be. Goodbye until then – the bluenette left them with their heads up, and it took the group a moment to recompose.

-Wow, that was... hard, it's the first time I've seen Marinette so angry - Nino exclaimed, and the rest of her teammates finally came out of her stupor.

-It's true, it seems that now, she hates us -Rose said sadly - though, she seemed like a totally different person, and she does akumatize?

-Marinette has always been melodramatic, we all know that- Alya said, trying to bring calm - you'll see that tomorrow everything will be solved! But I think it would be nice if Lila knew That Marinette could akumatize -that night, the blogger texted Rossi, who read it in the comfort of his alcobe, and smiled sideways.

-It seems that at last you will fall, Dupain-Cheng –Lila slept in her bed, very happy, without imagining that a time bomb had been activated, and that soon, a terrible nightmare would fall on her and the rest of her class.

...

Marinette came home, and her parents immediately realized that something was going on just to see her face.

-Honey? Did something bad happen? -Her mother asked her worried, and the girl looked at them with pity, and then left the utensils in the kitchen and addressed the couple- I need you to take a seat, please, there's something very delicate that I have to communicate to you - the formality the bluenette used when talking to them, baffled the couple.

...

Adrien arrived enthusiastically at school, eager to try Marinette's sweets, as well as the snacks his friends had surely saved him for the first break.

But as he set foot in the living room, he could feel how dense the atmosphere was, his friends had no good face, of course, except for Chloe and Lila, it was noted that none of them had been able to sleep well.

-Hey Nino-the model said to his friend, who was nodding from tiredness-Don't tell me the party lasted longer than you thought? –the blonde joke, but Nino was given chills, especially when recalling Marinette's cold eyes.

-Weeel, not exactly... - the brunette unhooked.

-The truth, Adrinkis, everything was ruined after Marinette Dupain-Cheng poisoned Rossi's smug one- Chloe said disinterestedly, as her fingernails retouched.

-What...? -Adrien was appalled by what that would entail- that's impossible!

-I'm afraid that's the terrible reality, Adrien- Lila spoke pitifully from her seat, and everyone listened to her expectantly, but young Agreste clenched the fists of fury- Marinette prepared coconut macaroni, even though I know I'm allergic to them -Rossi emphasized, but what wasn't expected was a spiteful expression on Adrien's part.

-And you can tell why you didn't say any of that during the meeting? -the boy countered, and everyone opened their eyes for the second mention of that detail- you were here when they agreed what to bring for the picnic, I remember perfectly well that Marinette announced that she would make the coconut macaroni.

-It's that... I was communicating with the son of a Norwegian businessman who urgently needed a meeting with Prince Ali - the girl quickly excused herself, after feeling the confused gaze of her companions on her.

-So, if you were so distracted that you didn't hear Marinette's ad, it means she never tried to get intoxicated or anything like that- the model replied, and Lila was silent for a few seconds, until the sound of the bell was heard.

-Very well students, to their places- announced teacher Bustier, but before even giving the following indication, Marinette entered the classroom, with a freezing expression.

-Good morning teacher, could you give me about five minutes with my classmates? I have to make an important announcement-the bluenette asked, which the teacher could barely articulate her approval to, but instead Adrien sned her eyes to the way she talked about her friend, as she has never said dry teacher to teacher Bustier.

-What do you want to talk about now, Marinette?- Alya asked, and Lila smiled when she saw that she could turn things in her favor.

- Oh my goodness, I hope you're not still upset about yesterday, since it was my fault... -Lila whined embarrassedly, drawing the attention of those present - after talking to Adrien, I realized that I didn't tell you about my coconut allergy, I thought I told you, but all those meetings I have with Jagged and Clara, have completely fired me, Do you forgive me? -Lila hoped Marinette would explode from outrage in front of everyone, but to her surprise, the girl only smiled sideways with a look so cold that she felt as if a snake wrapped her neck, ready to strangle her. A feeling that made her take a seat at once by the chills.

-Don't worry Lila, in fact, I've come to thank you - Marinette's soft voice took everyone off guard, while Adrien felt his stomach wallow, something wasn't right - if it wasn't for you, I would never have known the true face of my "friends," so I've decided the following, I'm going to resign from my position as president so you could take my place-Marinette had a calculator smile, while Alya's face was marked by fright.

-But what do you say? The Hero's Day party is just around the corner, and you quit like nothing?!-The blogger exclaimed furiously.

-I must also inform you that I canceled all events and field outings this year- Marinette began to recite quietly -but don't worry, with Lila in charge, the group will have better events, maybe you can take us behind the scenes with Jagged Stone and Clara, since you've just said you've had a lot of meetings with them lately – the bluenette's tone couldn't hide the taunt, but Lila was swallowing hard with all her eyes on her - by the way, Hero's Day had managed to schedule an outing to the children's hospital to help Prince Ali, and even I'm also canceled it, I'm sure that Lila being one of her best friends, she can get us to do better, maybe work side by side with the prince? - Marinette asked innocent, and the first to squeal with emotion was Rose.

-Can you do that Lila?! It would be wonder... - but the girl in pink stops her words by feeling a shiver on her back, and when she turns, her gaze meets Marinette's, which looked like she was going to rip her head off at the first move. So he took a seat in silence, sweating cold.

-O-of course I can, if any unforeseen events don't happen... - Rossi just articulated, without taking his eyes off the girl, who looked at him with an almost viperine smile - but Marinette, are you sure you want to quit? So far you have done a great job in your work, which would be a waste if you went out so abruptly – Lila tried to sound as modest as possible towards Marinette, but she smiled... with an innocent and baleful expression at the same time she freed his blood.

-No problem - the bluenette replied honestly, then let go of the next thing -by the way, just as I give up being her president, I also give up being the friend of all of you, as it's clear that you aren't a good influence on me.

-Can you tell which bugg stung you?- Alya claimed, while the rest was in stupidity, and Adrien felt acidity in her throat, Did Marinette also break her friendship with him?

-The bug of truth,- replied the girl-, How can I continue to lead them if they don't trust me? How can I give them councils if they refuse to listen to me? It's clear you're better listeners with Lila, and how to say it? -Marinette did an innocent pose while I was thinking-, she is much better than me in every way, because for you, I am the villain who seeks to hurt her whenever I can -the young Dupain-Cheng said, and Alya sat in stupor again after hearing her words- You see? It's not good for me to keep helping you, it's clear that you prefer Lila a thousand times, so I've opted for the healthy, and I think it's better than who you really trust to take over the group, I don't have anything to do anymore, HA! -To her exclamation, everyone took a breath, even Chloe had stopped retouching her nails when Marinette had started in her speech-, I propose that Lila take my seat next to Alya, after all, both would be the president and vice president, it would be more productive for them to share the place.

-But Marinette! –Adrien jumped out of his post, but is interrupted by Lila, who had already taken his things and was now standing in front of the girl.

-Marinette, I am very sorry for all these misunderstandings –Rossi began with his typical victim speech, because in his head, she believed the Dupain-Cheng had finally surrendered with regard to his friends and Adrien, Rossi thought she finally won the war, but Lila was far from understanding that in her moment of "victory", she was digging her own grave -, if you really want me to be the new representative , I will agree if our dear companions don't object – the young people were silent, but not because they agreed, is because they tried to understand Lila's behavior in Marinette's words.

-It looks unanimous-Marinette declared and Adrien finally reacted but before he could object, Marinette shook Lila's hand- I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job, Lila.

-Wait Marinette! Are you really okay with this?- The model claimed, but the girl blinked curiously, then smiled at him in a way that caused chills on the boy.

-But what are you talking about, Adrien? It's perfect! -the bluenette extended her arms to the site, showing her point-, Alya will be able to share the place with Ladybug's best friend, and you can be close to your dear co-worker, isn't wonderful? After all, you've always liked to be surrounded by people as special and unique as Chloe and Lila – the model was like they're going to throw a bucket of cold water at him, as cold as Marinette's words, even Alya had been in shock – well! If there's nothing more to say, I'll go to the place I was assigned before, remember Alya? When did you forget to tell me I'd been changed seats? That they hadn't even consulted me, and then they all bothered me for claiming? OH DEAR! But what do I say? I'm sure I'm overacting, as you always say, since no one would be angry when his job is removed, it's not normal, is it? -Now it was Alya who boquered, and turned her gaze to the bluenette by those harsh words-, teacher, everything is ready, Lila is the new president of the class, now with permission, I go to my place.

Marinette walked to the back of the room, and her companions felt as if a cold shadow enveloped them to the bottom of the room.

While Adrien pressed the pencil tightly, while the teacher, after leaving her initial shock, had started classes. A particularly hard day for him, as Lila kept touching his shoulder with her fingers constantly to ask him for help, something that even Alya bothered her.

Meanwhile, Plagg felt too anxious to see the behavior of the carrier of his sugar cube, he was worried about what had happened, and to top it all off, he kept hissing every time Lila looked for an excuse for Adrien to turn to see her. It was so many times that Master Bustier reached her limit.

-Miss Rossi! -The woman's furious squeal startled Lila, while Marinette watched everything with a radiant smile- The young Agreste has already asked you four times to stop interrupting him in his studies.

-I'm so sorry, I'm having a hard time following you, teacher - Rossi replied with the most innocent voice she could-, I thought Adrien could help me.

-As president of the class, you must act by example, and constantly stinging your partner's shoulder, isn't the best- the woman retorted, and Lila looked down in the indignant eyes of her companions-, Miss Cesaire is doing very well in this matter, she can perfectly ask her for help, and leave the young Agreste alone- the teacher said dryly, and Lila had nothing left to obey.

The rest of the classes were tense, all the students and the teacher felt that something suffocated them, as if the air had become dense, and a lot of blades were buried in their breasts. But the only one who was smiling was Marinette, who even hummed with happiness as she took the notes and solved the exercises.

And to Adrien's disgrace, no one had brought him the promised picnic snacks, even though that wasn't his only upset. Something had happened to Marinette, and it was going to get to the bottom of it.

Not to mention the doubt that everyone was stuc in their chests because of Lila's strange acting way. The nice girl with great feats, Why did she seem so eager to take Marinette's job as president?

-"What's going on?" -Alya wondered, seeing her new seatmate, who instead of taking the class notes, watched the back of the model with possessive eyes, who came to give her chills.

Since although Marinette sometimes swooped just to see the young Agreste, her gaze was overflowing with warm hearts, instead Lila's eyes were dull and, even felt revulsion in about a few seconds, the Rossi girl sharpened her expression, then returned a few seconds to her task, but did not take her eyes off the blonde.

- "It will be my imagination...,"- the blogger said, convincing herself that she was exaggerating.

-Is something wrong, Alya? -Lila asked, having listened to her.

-He? No, nothing, only I'm going to ask you to stay with me after school, we have to prepare everything for Hero's Day,-Alya said happily, not noticing Lila for a grimace of disgust, and then smile on her side.

-Oh, I'm so sorry, but this afternoon I had already scheduled a meeting with representatives of Africa's nature reserves- she replied as if nothing was hard enough for Adrien and Nino to listen to her, but the model only felt disgusted by every word that came out of Lila.

-All right, I'll move on as far as I can, you just worry that everything would work out at your meeting,-Alya replied excitedly, but Adrien couldn't help but feel sorry for her when she saw Lila looked at her face, so that the blogger would do all the work in the end.

On the first school break, Adrien turned to a Marinette who kept all his teammates at bay with his sharping attitude. And that when she saw him, she didn't bother to hide his disgust, and turn his back on him to go to the library.

-Please Marinette- the model pleaded with her, once he managed to reach her-. You can't let this go on...

-Excuse me? If I remember correctly, it was you who insisted on allowing Lila to continue her lies-she hired -so you should be the happiest to see her so well with everyone,- Marinette said, meanwhile, Nino and Alya have just arrived at the library, and seeing the couple from afar, they decided to get closer to how tense the atmosphere between the two had.

-But ... -Adrien felt a knot in his throat- I didn't ... - the blond barely had his words coming out, and Marinette looked selfless, until she noticed that Alya and Nino were spying on them behind some shelves, and the girl smiled.

-You know Adrien, I wanted to tell you,- the bluenette gently remarked, drawing the attention of both the model and the couple who listened expectantly.

-And what is it? -He asked with fear.

-You see, after all I've been through, I've noticed something important- Marinette breathed a sigh, and she took a cold look at him-, I hate you.

-W-what...? –the young Agreste barely articulated word, while Alya dropped his jaw and Nino covered his mouth by fright.

-That's right, I hate you-the girl quietly let go- my life was fine until you got to her, the best thing would have been if your father had kept you locked up in your room, instead of letting you out and complicating my life.

-B-but...

-No buts, Agreste- Marinette said, crossing his arms,-your father wouldn't let you out, supposedly, to protect you from bad influences, but he was wrong -she finally lashed out, took her things while she kept gunning down the blond with her words- you're the bad influence on the world -she finally lashed out, and then left him alone without even saying goodbye.

-Dude! -Nino exclaimed, seeing him crumble, and ran along with Alya to assist him.

-Already, calm down, Adrien- the blogger tried to soothe him, but the blonde kept hiping and crying in silence - What the hell is wrong with Marinette?! -she claimed, but Nino stops her when he saw that she was going after the bluenette .

-Listen, here the mood is bad since yesterday, Alya -Nino said, helping to hold Adrien- it's best to let Marinette get his head cold, and so did you-Nino rebuked, and Alya let go of an exasperated buffoy – plus, the last thing we need is an akuma.

-This time I'll take your word for it, Nino,- the brunette promised, as she helped Adrien out of the library, and take him to the boys' cubicles, and then wait for them outside.

-Hey, easy, buddy...- comforted the DJ, but the model denied obfuscated.

-Nothing is going to be right, and worst of all, is that Marinette is right to hate me...

-Don't say that, man, she's only had a couple of hard days...

-A couple of days?! -He asked indignantly, startled Nino, and then had a realization - A... couple of days? Of course – the boy held his face with his hands - Of course! No one can stand this forever... I'm an idiot... -the model was lamented, missing his friend more.

While Marinette was returning home, with a grim but satisfied expression at the same time.

...

Today, Heroes' Day

Marinette's parents eventually became present at the Eiffel Tower square, and the bluenette allowed them to pass by opening the thorn fence. Preparing two armchairs of emeralds for them, next to Chat Noir. All in the expectant gaze of the people of Paris, and the prisoners.

-Okay, I promised them I wouldn't hurt them, Marinette would never forgive me if I did- the couple took a seat, but Sabine say her opinion about it.

-Chat Noir may be right,- Ms. Dupain-Cheng repused, while exchanging glances with the feline hero -you don't have to do this, there may be another solution.

-There are other solutions, madam, but I'm afraid this is the best, I've already explained, to all three, no matter the cost, I'm already determined- Marinette said, and an exclamation from Alya interrupted them.

-Did they know you're not Marinette? She is a sentimonster! It's not true? –in his words, the bluenette stewardess was sarcastic.

-And so far you realize? And you call yourself a future journalist? –"Marinette" walked towards her, carrying the photograph of what was once the friendship between her and Alya, and then wrinkling it to make a ball and throwing it in the face of the blogger- WHAT A GOOD JOKE! The Dupain-Chengs have the right to know what happened to their daughter, but there were only a couple of people who immediately realized that I wasn't Marinette, and you called yourself their best friend? Don't make me laugh! –in everyone's eyes, the body of "Marinette" shone in a pink smoke, until she transformed into a cold but beautiful woman snake albino, dressed in a fine Chinese dress in immaculate white with gold tweaks at her waist and V-neck, her long charcoal black hair waved on her back, while on her head was a thick bow giving her a touch of royalty and divinity. His pupils were a cold sky color, and scales adorned his cheeks.

-YOU'RE A MONSTER! - Lila exclaimed terrified at the sight, then squealed when sentimonster grabbed her with it's long tail, lifting her into the air, then put her head in front of her.

-Correction, I am a sentimonster, whose duty is to protect the young Marinette, and my name is White Snake- the woman said, and then dropped the girl, who hit the floor hard.

-What kind of sentimonster are you? -Nathalie questioned, meanwhile, that White was pulling out a pay-pay fan to cover almost his entire face, leaving only his cold eyes in sight - the sentimonsters lack autonomy!

-Your questions don't make sense, I'm just the sentimonstrer whose duty it is to protect Marinette from Lila's lies and the betrayal of those who were called her friends, I simply do my duty, and you two – White pointed out furiously with her fan -, like Lila, you sought to harm Marinette, YOU THREE CAUSED HER TRAGEDY A WEEK AGO! -The furious woman struck her pai-pai against her hand to emphasize her words- and for that reason, like them, you too will receive the judgment –White Snake turned to the public to declare the following —today, The Hero Day, the sacred judgment will be carried out on these bad people, who damaged a pure soul like Marinette Dupain-Cheng , and at the end of the verdicts, the punishment will be applied according to the crime - Gabriel growled furious to see Nooro float next to White Snake - first, we will begin with the main villains of Paris, Hawk Moth, Mayura and his loyal ally, Lila Rossi – to the stupor of all, the three were dragged in front of White, the Dupain-Cheng marriage, Chat Noir and the mysterious flower bud - I officially declare, the beginning of the trial against those who attacked Marinette Dupain-Cheng,- White Snake declared solemn.

...

-WOW! So it was White Snake who gave Lila the position of president? -I seat, while I'm working in newsketches,- but what happened to Marinette?

-No spoiler...

-How did you discover the identities of Nathalie and Gabriel?

-No spoiler...

-At least some clue whose two people discovered it?- Plagg asks once with a tic in his eye.

-No spoiler...

-GAAAHHH! This fic intrigues me, and we're just going in Chapter 2 – and to my surprise, Chimuelo agrees.

-In fact it's the 1st, the previous one is the prologue – in my answer, Plagg growls his teeth -, the next cap, you'll know the first one who discovered White Snake, so I'll see you next cap!

-STOOOOOPPP! – Plagg interrupts me, even with his curiosity bulging with his little head- you still don't tell me why Marinette's sentimonster is a white snake.

-I'll tell you in the next cap, you'll have to wait until then–Plagg drops his jaw, and then he starts biting a handkerchief for anxiety.
