The next day Marinette was over the moon, she arrived to class with starry eyes. When Lila saw this she inwardly gagged, she didn't like the fact that Marinette is so happy. Alya on the other hand wasn't so discreet with her disgust.
Alya shoved Marinette to the ground and said, "Oops sorry didn't see you."
Marinette didn't say anything, she just stood up and dusted herself and continued walking up to her seat. Chloe and Kagami saw this and nearly laughed, the blonde asked, "What's got you so over the moon?"
Marinette looked of to the side and said, "Well..." She leaned to Chloe and Kagami's ears and whispered, "Felix asked me to live with him."
Both girls looked at her in shocked, "WHAT!"
Chloe grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her vigorously and yelled, "ARE YOU SERIOUS! WHEN! WHERE?"
Marinette giggled, "Yesterday after the movies when he walked me home."
Nino and Felix then came with eyebrows raised, Nino asked, "What's going on?"
When the two girls saw Felix, they jumped on him and said, "HOW DARE YOU ASK HER TO LIVE WITH YOU WITHOUT OUR PERMISSION!"
The whole class turned to them, eyes widened at what they had heard.
Felix looked at Marinette and said, "You told them?"
Marinette looked at him weird and said, "They're my best friends what do you expect?"
Just then Juleka, Luka and Nathaniel came into class and saw the commotion, Nathaniel asked, "What's going on?"
Nino chuckled, "Felix asked Marinette to live with him."
"OH NO HE DIDN'T." Juleka yelled as she was about to join Chloe and Kagami but was held back by Nathaniel.
Luka looked around and asked, "Where's Sasuke?"
"Ah! Sasuke and Sakura had to attend today's fashion show as their brand representative as for Naruto I'm not sure, he probably tagged along with them."
Juleka squirmed under Nathaniel's grasped and said, "Back to the topic."
Marinette helped Felix up and answered, "Felix why don't you explain?"
Felix smiled, "I actually gave it some thought actually, I barely stay at the Agreste mansion and spent most of my time at Marinette's place, I'm practically living there. Though it felt like I was barging into their house, and I didn't want to go back to the Adrien's place since that place is absolutely suffocating. I talked to my mother about it already and she agreed with me about finding my own place to stay. Then I asked Marinette and thankfully she agreed, I'm going to ask her parents later after school then we'll go look at two apartments not far from school."
The girls looked at Marinette and gave the girl the tightest hug they could give.
"Our Mare-bear is growing up."
Nathaniel turned to Felix and asked, "Does Sasuke know about this?"
"Nope."
Nino raised his eyebrow, chuckling he said, "You know he's going to kill you right?"
"Yup."
"You know we're not going to help you right?" Luka reminded.
"Yup."
Adrien who heard this marched up to them and asked, "Felix can I talk to you for a moment?"
They turned silent and looked to the other blond. Felix crossed his arms, with a raised brow he asked, "What is it?"
Adrien shuffled around for a bit and said, "In private."
Felix rolled his eyes and said, "If you have anything to say than you can say it right here in front of everyone."
Adrien dropped his act and scoffed, "Alright you know what I think? I think it's a big mistake for you to move in with that." Adrien pointed to Marinette. "I mean come on dude, you're a model, you could score someone way better than that."
Chloe just looked at Kagami and said, "Did he just."
"Oh no he didn't."
Felix stood up in front of him, "And what do you mean by that?"
Adrien looked at Marinette and back at Felix and said, "Dude I don't know how to tell you this but word is, is that Marinette's a whore, I heard she's been cheating on you with some dude named Gavin."
"GAVIN! HE'S MY BOYFRIEND!" Alya shrieked. Alya slapped Marinette across the face leaving a bright red mark on her face.
Marinette snapped her head towards Alya shocked, "Bitch did you just slap me?"
Alya scoffed, "Yeah or do want me to slap you again to remind you?"
Chloe then took off her earrings, she handed them to Marinette and said, "Hold my earring while I kill this bitch."
Chloe jumped on her, slapping her back and forth. Alya fought back by pulling her hair. Nino was trying to get Chloe off of her but failed he looked at the other two girls and saw that they were deliberately ignoring it while caring for Marinette.
Felix face palmed, pointing to the chaos he said, "Look what you did."
Adrien looked defensive, "Hey all I did was say the truth."
"And where did you get this "truth" from?"
"Lila told me she even showed me pictures." He answered showing him the pictures. "Here see."
Marinette looked at him in shock, "I DON'T EVEN KNOW A GAVIN."
Felix looked at the picture and smack Adrien's head hard, "Are you blind or stupid OR HELL BOTH! That's clearly photoshopped."
Adrien looked back at the picture and just scoffed, "I still think it's a bad idea for you to associate with a girl like her."
Felix rolled eyes, "I wish I could say the same about the trash you picked." Lila looked at him insulted, "but then again I don't really care what you do."
Felix turned to Chloe and calmly said, "Chloe, stop fighting or I'll embarrass you."
Chloe immediately looked up and pouted, turning to Marinette she said, "Maarriii Felix is being mean."
Marinette smiled cheekily at her, "Aww come here my cute little Chloe."
"You coddle her too much." Said Felix.
Luka laughed as he took a seat beside his girlfriend, "You guys are like her parents."
"Oii."
Alya who was still on the ground looked at them infuriated and yelled, "Are you all just going to ignore me like that!"
"Yes." Juleka answered in a monotone voice while looing at her nails, "Babe do you think I should get another color?"
Nathaniel looked at her nails and answered, "But I thought purple is your safe color?"
"Yeah, but I wanna try something new, come with me to the nail salon tomorrow?"
"Fine but you have to come with me to get a new tattoo."
"Fine."
Ms. Bustier then came in and asked everyone to sit at their respective seats, "Already everyone please settle down, Alya please stop laying around on the ground. Even though that's where you belong." She said the last part under her breath.
Alya slowly stood up, pointing to Chloe she said, "Ms. Bustier Chloe beat me up."
Ms. Bustier looked at Chloe and asked, "Chloe did you do this?"
"No ma'am." She answered innocently.
Ms. Bustier shrugged and said, "If she says she didn't do it then she didn't."
"But-" "No buts just sit down."
"Yes ma'am."
During class Lila was too busy thinking about the Marinette and Felix, she couldn't let Marinette be happy even if it's just for a second. She was the reason that she got fired from Gabriel, there was no way that she was going to let her smile happily like that.
She was thankful that Alya had told her that she had gotten a new boyfriend, it made it easier for her to spread rumors about her. Sadly, she was annoyed that Felix saw through, she thought that if Adrien was the one to tell him he would leave her, they say that blood is thicker than water.
Even though she didn't get through to her friends she still manages to convince the class, she knew very well what this would mean for Marinette, she smirked at the thought of Marinette beaten black and blue, crying in the bathroom.
Alya saw her smirk and asked, "What's up?"
"Oh nothing, I just think that we should give Marinette a little payback, no? I mean she did steal your boyfriend after all."
Alya smirked, "I like the way you think."
After a few classes it was finally lunch time. Marinette and Juleka decided to finish up writing some notes before meeting up with the others at the park for lunch. As they were about to leave Alya, Lila and her sheep blocked their path.
Marinette crossed her arms and sneered, "Can you move or are you too stupid to do that too."
Ivan then came closer to Juleka and immediately grabbed her arms behind her back. Kim held Marinette as Alya, Alix and Lila came closer to her. Marinette tried to break free but was not able to. Alya and Alix struck her first by punching her straight in the face. They beat her up by kicking and punching her, pulling her hair and ripping her shirt.
Juleka struggled to get free, whenever she moved Ivan's grip would only tighten. Out of all their friends Juleka was physically the weakest. "Ivan let me go you now that this is wrong."
Juleka looked at Marinette and saw that her nose was bleeding, her lips were cut, her body was starting to turn black and blue. "Kim stop this you know that this isn't right, Kim I'm begging you let her go."
Alya heard this and snapped her head to the jock and yelled, "DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE KIM! SHE STOLE MY BOYFRIEND!"
Marinette glared at her and stated with a firm voice, "Bitch like I said I don't even know a Gavin, hell I don't even know what he looks like."
"That's not true Lila saw you guys together."
"Bitch when!"
"Yesterday!"
Marinette rolled her eyes in annoyance, "I was at fashion week yesterday and after that I went to the movies, hell I even have proof. And why would I be stupid enough to cheat on Felix for someone who works at a kiosk?"
Alya just kept on yelling nonsense about her being jealous and whatnot. Marinette sighed and said, "I think I amused you guys enough, time to end it."
Marinette bashed her head on to Kim's making him bite his tongue, once his grip loosened, she jabbed him in the stomach and making him let go. She then kicked him where the sun doesn't shine causing him to crouch down in pain.
Juleka saw that Marinette was free, so she stomped down Ivan's foot causing him to yelp and loosen his grasp on her. Turning around facing him, kneed him on his private.
Marinette turned to Alya and Alix and said, "Oh I'm gonna have fun with this."
A few minutes later...
Marinette looked at the two girls satisfied with what she had done, they were both on the floor beaten Alya may have a missing tooth, she decided to tie their hairs together in a knot and made sure that it would take them ages for them to get them out. Marinette took another look at the girls and said, "It's missing something."
Marinette took out her lipstick and smeared it all over their faces, "There perfect."
Juleka looked at the time and said, "Great you guys made us miss out lunch, whatever I'm skipping, Mar you coming?'
"Obvi, Starbuck?"
"Omg yesss."
Marinette texted the group to meet them in Starbucks since they didn't have lunch yet, "But first I need to get changed, let's go."
At Starbucks...
Marinette saw Felix and immediately gave him a kiss on the lips, Juleka just gave Nathaniel a tight hug. Both boys were confused by the sudden display of affection. Felix noticed Marinette's outfit and asked, "Did you change clothes?" He took a closer look at her face, neck and collar bone and asked, "What happened to you?"
Marinette smiled, "Lila happened don't worry it doesn't hurt as much and besides I definitely did them worse."
Felix kissed her head and said, "That's my girl, anyway here I ordered you a caramel macchiato with double shots of espresso and a sandwich."
"Aw thank you babe."
With Team 7...
Sasuke and Sakura were busy doing their photoshoot while Naruto was inside the car talking to his parents.
"Naruto I really think you should come home already." Kushina stated.
"But mom my friends need me and Marinette's problems isn't solved yet."
"Fine but I've already talked to Tsunade and Mikoto and we really think that you guys should start heading back here."
"Thank you mom!"
"Ah Tsunade asked me to ask you to ask Kakashi to bring her some wine."
Naruto scratched his head and whined, "Why can't she ask Sakura to do that?"
Kushina rolled her eyes and answered, "Do you honestly think that Sakura is willing to buy wine for her alcoholic mother?"
"Alright fine I'll ask him."
Naruto could hear his father's voice from a distance, "Is that dad?" Kushina nodded and handed the phone to her husband. "Hey dad bla bla bla bla..."
With Sakura and Sasuke, after they took a couple of shots they looked over the pictures and discussed which pictures looked good, which one needed a few touch ups and which needed to be taken all over again.
"I think that one could be better." Sakura commented. Sasuke and the photographer looked at her confused.
"What are you talking about it looks great." Stated the photographer.
Sakura just shifted around, "I don't know is it me or do I look fat in it."
The photographer looked at Sasuke and asked, "Is she being serious?"
Sasuke shrugged just as confused, "Babe what are you talking-" "Ssshh."
Sakura hushed them, she sniffed the air and asked, "Do you smell that? It smells like chocolate..."
Sasuke's internal alarm then started blaring, he turned to the photographer and asked what date it was, when the photographer answered Sasuke told him to just send him the pictures later and that they would discuss it next time and told him and the other staff to run.
Sasuke called Kakahi and yelled, "CODE RED!"
Kakashi looked at the date, "ALREADY!"
Sakura then turned to the two and with tears in her eyes, "Sasuke-kuuunnn, Kashi-senseeeiii!"
"Aw snap" both of then muttered.
