Marinette's P.O.V.

It has been weeks since I came back and I'm still ignoring all of them. With the exception of Nathaniel and Max. They were the only ones who didn't bully me. Max ignored me before , but that was just it. Bridgette talked to me about Adrien, but I told her that I'll think about it.

During class, madam Bustier made a little announcement.

"I have wonderful news! All of the staff and the principle had decided that we will move the talent show in 3 days from now. Isn't this exciting?!"

There were a few groans and cheers. And I was on the groaning side. Great. If Bridgette finds out , she'll make me do it with her. And she is very persuasive. I speak from experience.

"Auditions will be held at the gym after school. Good luck." Madam Bustier said happily.

No one replied.

She sighed." Winner gets a week off school."

That caused an uproar.

After class was over, a herd of students rushed to the gym. I had to make way in fear of being trampled. Geesh. But I couldn't blame them. A week from school sounds like a dream.

I was pulled by Bridgette who dragged me to the line.

"Bridgette, what are we even going to do?"

Her eyes sparked a bit." Sing , my dear cousin. Sing."

I rolled my eyes. While we were away in America, someone offered us a record deal , but we turned it down saying we want to wait until we're older. That still didn't stop other record companies to offer us deals .

The line was soooooo long that you won't believe it. I took out my phone and called mom.

"Hello , Marinette?"

"Hey mom, Bridgette and I will be a bit late, we have to wait in line for auditions."

"Cheerleading?"

"No, talent show."

"Oh, well, be home by dark."

"Bye mom."

Bridgette and I had a silent discussion on what song we will sing.

"How bout  Too little too late by JoJo?" Bridgette suggested.

I shook my head." No, I forgot most of the lyrics."

"Wolf in sheep clothing?" I said

"No , I took a pic of the rules outside , and for those who wants to sing , each gender have to sing according to the same gender of the artist." Bridgette said dejectedly.

We thought about it and we both agreed on a song." Oath ."

"Next."

We looked at the line and saw that we were next. We stepped forward to the judges table and only a handful of students were left. The judges were Principal Damocles, Madam Bustier, and Madam Mendeliev . Bridgette and I  took a deep breath .

"Hi, I'm Marinette Dupain - Cheng and this is Bridgette Kwami , and we're going to sing Oath by Cher Loyd ft. Becky G .

Play the song since I'm too lazy to type the entire lyrics.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Once we finished the song , the judges clapped while some of the remaining students packed up and left grumbling.

"Congratulations Miss Dupain-Cheng and Miss Kwami , you are both in the talent show."

Bridgette and I smiled at each other and hugged.

We got in!

But our moment was ruined by Chloe. I'm surprised she stayed. Doesn't she have more important things to do?

"This is outrageous! Reject them out of the show! They are not worthy enough of being in it ! It's bad enough that my Adrikinns (A.N. Does anyone who write these fanfics feel their fingers burn when you try to type that word, cause mine does.) refuses to participate with me, but I won't let those losers in ! Now dismiss them or I'll call daddy!"

Mr. Damocles looked nervous while Madam Bustier and Madam Mendeliev looked annoyed.

"Calm yourself Miss Bourgeois, we have to be fair with the students, you wouldn't want to have the press have leaked information about you being a bully again, don't you?" Madam Mendeliev said calmly, but you could hear the obvious anger at her voice.

Chloe paled at the thought.

There were rumors on what happened to Chloe . When her father was charged with abuse of power , all he got was house arrest for a few days and suddenly all charges were dropped. Chloe still taunts everyone about being the mayors daughter, but the media is still attacking at her weak spot.

Chloe tried to complain to the police, but they replied that it was not necessarily their problem since they were not physically attacking her and that she had to be used to the press since she grew up being in the spot light.

Sabrina left her a long time ago for Max who decided to give her a choice. Stay friends with Chloe and never be near him within 10 feet or be with him and enjoy having true friends. Needless to say , she chose him. But Chloe has a new minion , one that's 10x worse than Sabrina. Lila Rossi. The Chloe doppelgänger.

"I have to agree with Chloe on this one  Madam Mendeliev, they show no real talent." Lila snarled as she looked at me with disgust.

"I was not aware that you both were part of judging students." Madam Bustier said.

Lila glared at her and flipped her hair in a Chloe style." Whatever."

They both grabbed their bags and strutted to the exit. They thought it was cool, but in reality, some guys and a few girls laughed at their attempt. They realized it and just ran out.

Madam Bustier turned back to us." Congratulations girls, we'll see you in a few days."

"Thank you." We both said in unison and we both literally went skipping off.

What I didn't know was that a certain blond haired model strummed a guitar in his room thinking about me.

Adrien's P.O.V.

I played some pieces that I usually did great on, but they sound so sad and dull. My fingers moved on their own and began to strum a familiar tune. My mind was clear and all I have in my mind was  a picture of Marinette's smile. The smile that I'll never see again.

I began to sing along with the music of the guitar.

Only need the light
When it's burning low
Only need the sun when it starts to snow
Only now you love her when you let her go
And you let her go

Tears fell freely from my eyes. Marinette please, I'm begging you. Give me a second chance. Just one more chance. Just one more. And just like that , I fell asleep crying over Marinette. Again.

A.N. I own nothing.
