A/N: Going to be a really long chapter.

Adrien's POV

I woke up and shot out of bed. "Adriennnnn. I want Camembert." I sighed and tossed Plagg some of his smelly cheese. There was a knock on the door and Nathalie entered. "Here is your schedule for the day, Adrien. Your father added a last minute photoshoot to it." I sighed and nodded. "Thank you, Nathalie." She smiled a bit and walked out of the room. 

I got dressed and tossed a few pieces of Camembert into my bag. Plagged flew in and I walked out. I have a feeling my dad scheduled the photoshoot with Lila and I probably still have my photoshoot on Wednesday. I walked to the car and Gorilla started  the car. He drove me to school and I got out when, we got there. 

I saw Nino and I walked over. "Nino!" "Hey dude." I gave him a hug and we walked into school. I saw Alya and Marinette talking to each other on a bench and they started laughing. "Marinette was early?" Nino laughed. "Yeah. She wanted to see if she could come to school on time. She did. She came right after Alya arrived." We headed over and Alya pointed in our direction. 

Mari turned around and waved at me. "Hey Adrien." I waved back and smiled. "Hey Mari. Hey Alya." Me and Nino gave the girls a hug. I quickly kissed Marinette's cheek and Alya squealed. "Sorry, but I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact you two are dating." Marinette and I laughed and I heard a shriek. "Adrikins!" I groaned and was wrapped in a tight hug by Chloe and she kept trying to kiss me. I gently push her off. "What are you doing with these PIGS!" The daily schedule. "They aren't pigs Chloe there my friends!" I really wanted to say one of them was my girlfriend but, I didn't. 

She scoffed. "Why do you hang out with them? You should be hanging out with people more your class not with these commoners! Ugh, they don't even deserve to breathe the same air as  you. Especially Maritrash over here." I clenched my fist. Since, when was the urge to slap Chloe so strong? "Her name is Marinette." Alya was glaring at Chloe and standing up for her bestfriend. 

Chloe smirked. "Right. Marinette. Maritrash. Sounds the same to me. It all belongs to the same pathetic orphan." I heard Marinette gasp thanks to my cat hearing and she bit her lip. "How did you-" "How did I know? I am the mayor's daughter. I know what goes on in other people's lives. I can't say I was sad your parents died. In fact, I felt so happy for them. They don't have to deal with you anymore! A pathetic, worthless girl who only has friends out of pity. They had a sorry excuse for a daughter. At least they don't have to see your ugly face anymore." 

Marinette shot off the bench and somewhere in the school. Alya stood up and step toward Chloe. 

Smack. 

Alya took a deep breath and regained her composure. Chloe just glared at Alya. "What is your problem?" Alya pretended to think. "YOU! Why on earth would you do that to her huh? What do you have against her that you think you should have done that? Please tell me." Chloe shrugged. "I just needed a nice refreshment. She really is worthless, so I don't see why you care." She walked off and I just stared at her. "We need to find Marinette. Now." Nino and Alya nodded. 

Marinette's POV

I ran to my locker knowing my Adrien, Alya and Nino would think this was the last place to look for me. I made the mistake of coming over here because I saw Lila waiting. "So, do you like being an orphan, Maritrash?" I took a step backward as she walked toward me. "ANSWER ME!" She grabbed my hair and slammed me into the lockers. "How much did I miss?" Chloe. She walked over and slapped me. 

Lila let go of my hair and Chloe punched my cheek. "I got SLAPPED because of you. Because your friends think you are so amazing and they think you are actually hurt by my words. They think they aren't true. They are. Every word about that I have said is true. And you know it." She punched my stomach and grabbed my shoulder, pushing me harder into the locker. 

I gritted my teeth as tears collected in my eyes. I wasn't going to give them the satisfaction of seeing me cry. She let go of my stomach and kicked me. I groaned but, stood my ground. She punched me again and again. I betrayed myself by falling to my knees. Lila kicked my stomach and I collapsed on the ground. She kicked my ribs and I started coughing. She started kicking me again, still in the ribs, with what seemed to be no end. 

She finally stopped kicking me and I glanced at a clock that was nearby. It was 7:48 AM. We still had 12 minutes until class. Yipee. Note the sarcasm. I felt Lila pull me up by my hair and I gritted my teeth harder. She let go and I collapsed on the ground as soon as she let go because I was too weak. They laughed and just started kicking me wherever. I covered my face with my arms to avoid being kicked in the face. 

I also, hid the purse Tikki was in from them to avoid being kicked. I got kicked in the chest and I screamed in pain. I heard a bunch if footsteps running and I felt Lila and Chloe stop kicking me. I uncovered my face and saw Adrien, Alya and Nino. Adrien immediately ran over to me and helped me onto my feet and let me lean on him for support and he wrapped his arms around me to make sure I didn't fall. 

Alya was yelling at Lila and Chloe with Nino holding her to make sure she didn't send them to the hospital. I heard Lila say something and Adrien's head shot up from looking at me to glaring at her. Alya snapped at her but, was cut off by a new voice. "What is going on here?" I saw Mrs.Bustier and Lila immediately started to play victim. 

"Oh, Mrs.Bustier! I was  just getting my books when Marinette-" "MARINETTE DID NOTHING, LILA! You AND Chloe decided it would be nice to just abuse her and just remind her of things that have happened in her life." "Alya, calm down." Alya nodded. "Sorry Mrs.Bustier." Mrs.Bustier immediately looked back at Chloe and Lila. "To the principals office now. Nino and Alya you need to go too since, you were witnesses." They nodded and the 4 of them left. 

She walked over to me and Adrien and gasped. "Oh dear. Uh, I am going to need you to go the the principals office as well because you were obviously the victim. I am sorry about that but, it is a rule here. And I know you are not one to fake injuries." I nodded. "Ok." My voice was raspy. "I'll help her got there." Mrs.Bustier smiled. "Thank you, Adrien. I will see you in the principals office." She left and made her way to the principals office. 

"How do you want me to take you to the office. I can carry you-" "I'll walk as far as I can." He nodded and I started walking but, still putting most of my weight on Adrien. We got to the top of the stairs and I shook my head. "No more. I can't walk." Adrien nodded and picked me up. He carried me to the principals office door and set me down. I knocked on the door and there was a faint 'come in.' 

Adrien opened the door and I managed to limp over to a chair next to Alya. Adrien sat next to me and Mr.Damocles cleared his throat. "So, Mrs.Bustier tells me that you 3 found Chloe and Lila abusing Marinette by her locker? Is that correct?" Adrien, Alya, and Nino said yes while Lila and Chloe said no. "Uh, excuse me. But, we were not abusing her whatsoever." He turned to Chloe who looked bored. 

"Plus, you can't do anything to us. My daddy is the mayor and he could have you stripped of your jobs. And you can't accuse us of anything without proof." Alya jumped up with her phone. "I have proof! I recorded you and Lila hurting Marinette on my phone. Look." She connected her phone to her laptop that was in her bookbag and showed it to the principal while, I stared down at my lap trying not start crying. 

She stopped the video and I silently sighed in relief. Mr.Damocles was silent. "We are going to need to call all of your parents and let them know especially Marinette's-" "Actually, you can't call her parents because they are DEAD. Isn't that right, Maritrash?" I looked up and stared at Chloe. I nodded and stared back at my lap. 

I blinked back a waterfall of tears. Adrien intertwined his fingers in mine and I calmed down a bit. Mr.Damocles and Mrs.Bustier were both quiet. "Okay. Uh, go to your classes for now and come back during lunch and we will sort this out. But, Marinette could yo stay here for a second." They nodded and left leaving me in the office. "Marinette, I am sorry that your parents are dead. Do you want to continue going to school for the day or do you want to go home?" "I'll stay." He nodded and Mrs.Bustier spoke up. "If you feel, you need to go home for the rest of the day just let me know and you can go." I nodded. "Thank you." "You may go now." 

I stood up and limped out of the room. I saw Alya, Nino and Adrien waiting for me outside. Adrien came over and helped me while, Alya grabbed my bookbag and purse and had Nino carry my books. "You know, I'm not helpless." Alya shrugged. "We are still going to help you." I sighed. 

We walked to the classroom and I grabbed my bookbag form Alya and Nino put my books in there. I walked in and headed to my seat. Alya sat next to me and Mrs.Bustier came in and started the lesson.
