Chapter 12: The First Akuma Since I Moved Into The Agreste Mansion!

Waking up this morning, I remember that yesterday Adrien confessed. Tomorrow is prom and so far no akuma attacks. That is something I am not going to say out loud though, you know it could jinx it. Hurry around the mansion, I forget to eat breakfast. I am yelled at to get to the car. Felix is laughing at me as I hurry out. I spent almost all night on a homework assignment I had forgotten about and had to grab everything for the presentation. Adrien just smiles. Nathalie is quietly chuckling at me. As we drive to the front of the school, Alya hurries to my side of the car. I texted her last night about my project. She helps get all my stuff. Nino looks at both of us like we are crazy. Adrien whispers something to Nino, which makes him give him a friendly pat to the shoulder. Felix just frowns at him.

I hurry to the classroom, Chloe waves to me at her station. I hurry and set up mine. Alya smiles, knowing that even though this is for science - it still has to do with fashion. Felix, Adrien, and Nino walk in and see me hurrying around my station. Miss Bustier walks in and gives a small chuckle as she looks at me. I am in a red dress that goes to my knees that has sleeves that just barely cover my shoulders. I have let my hair down and curled it. I smile as I complete my set up. Chloe walks over to me.

"Hey Marinette, you look amazing," She says. It might have been surprising if me and her didn't start getting along recently.

"Thank you, Chloe. You look amazing as well," I say. Chloe is wearing a yellow dress that goes to mid thigh and has string straps as her sleeves.

"I hope to give you a good run for your money," Chloe says. "Also I heard about you and Adrien. I am happy for you."

"Thanks, I am a little surprised that you aren't too upset," I whisper to her.

"He is with someone who is nice to him, so why should I?" We chuckle. Lila looks over to me and Chloe as she walks into the room.

"What are you talking about?" Lila says like her voice is poison.

"Nothing," Chloe says knowing that Lila is only going to make matters worse. Felix smirks and walks over.

"So how was you're kiss with Adrien last night?" He says. Both Chloe and I gasp and look at each other with wide eyes. I knew he say it but still. A scream rips out of Lila's mouth.

"You stole him. He was my boyfriend!" She cries out.

"No, I wasn't," Adrien says as he slips in behind me. He makes me jump and Lila cries. I reach out to her and she smacks me.

"You won't win, Marinette," She hurries out of the room.

"Don't worry about her Marinette," Chloe says as she heads over to her station. I try not to but a moment later Lila crashes through the door. But this time she has the akuma mask over her face. She wears a purple dress that flows to the ground.

"Lila, you have to fight," Alya screams out.

"I am not Lila. I am Black Swan. I will make sure those who have hurt me pay. Marinette is first," She says looking straight at me. I have to get out of here.

"Chloe, open a window!" I hurry across the room. I know that this is the second floor but I don't have any other choice. Chloe hurries and opens the door. Lila takes a feather off of her wings. She blows over towards me. I push Chloe to the side so it doesn't touch it and jump just before it hits me. I hit the sidewalk just as the feather starts floating down. I try to stand but can't. I sprained my ankle. I drag myself into an alley. I have to change into Ladybug. The pain will be more bearable.

"Tikki, spots on," I try not to scream. I stand up wincing at the pain. I actually may have broken it.
