-And then Jagged wrote a song for me himsel-" As Lila continued to babble about her supposed 'encounter' with Jagged Stone, Marinette rolled her eyes and tuned out the conversation as her mind went back to last night's patrol when Chat was looking at the city with a slight smile. Her eyes had wandered to his lips and she wanted to kiss them at that moment. She snapped out of it when a plane flew above them, a strong gust of wind following. It just seemed so- so-
Right.
"- right Marinette?" Lila asked her out of the blue. Of course she knew Marinette was spaced out and took the chance to attack her. Lila had underestimated Marinette in so many ways. Yesterday when she tried to threaten Marinette in the bathroom again, Marinette did not back away like last time. Instead, she stood there with a smirk and replied with a "I'd like to see you try~"
It bugged Lila more than it should have. Marinette should have been in her clutches! Not smiling and smirking at her as if she had won some lottery!
Marinette replied to the unknown question Lila asked her right now with "I ain't tryna be rude Lila but- ain't tryna be cool like you
Wobblin' around in your high heel shoes, I'm clumsy, made friends with the floor, Two for one, you know a bitch buy four-"
"Marinette! Why are you- being- being so- s-so rude?!!" Lila exclaimed as she turned on the water works again. Marinette rolled her eyes. She had been listening to Doja Cat a lot recently and to say that she didn't feel like a bad bitch would be a lie. And she hated lying.
"Marinette! I honestly didn't expect this from you!" Alya faked a shocked face, trying not to laugh at Lila's feeble attempt of getting Marinette to go to detention. Adrien, Chloe and Nino were already snickering while Alix tried to shut Kim up with her death grip on his mouth.
They knew. They knew how Lila threatened her in the bathroom and emotionally bullied her.
Marinette had asked Alya to search up whatever b*llsh*t Lila had told her.All it took was one Naver search to prove that none of it was true and she immediately apologized to Marinette and they decided to have Mari speak the lyrics of 'boss bitch' aloud in front of the class. Half of the class was in on the plan. It would be amusing to see Lila's reactions after knowing what the truth was!
"And two left feet, you know I always drop
First thing a girl did was a bop
I'm the whole damn cake and the cherry on top
Shook up the bottle, made a good girl pop" Marinette said rolling her eyes at her. Without the beat it sounded as if Marinette was a totally different person. It made Adrien want to cackle till he couldn't breathe.
Lila on the other hand was mortified. She never heard such vehement speech come out of the innocent girl's mouth. Heck, she hadn't even heard Marinette swear once in her life! She was looking at Marinette in disbelief and the waterworks continued as a furious Rose came up to Lila to comfort her and glared at Marinette disapprovingly. "Marinette! You're the class president and you are swearing! You should be setting an example, not- not bullying people blatantly with such vulgar language!" Rose spat.
Marinette just checked her nails just like Chloe would. It made Chloe snicker so hard that Alya glared at her and she instantly shut up. Adrien knew Marinette was amazing but this was just downright hilarious! Lila's face was drained of color already. Oh, she might have to wait and see what more Marinette had planned, this was Lila's doom right here!
"You ain't even here to party
Ken in the club, tryna pipe a Barbie
I don't wanna go with the flow
Backbend 'til I touch my toes
I don't wanna row the boat
Wrist full of rocks and I hope I float
Big up yourself 'cause you know they don't
I chew, 'cause they hope I choke"
She had narrated the verse in such a monotone voice that Adrien couldn't help but snicker behind his hand. That was his princess there!
"Marinette, you want to choke- choke Lila?!" Nathaniel piped in with mock- surprise as Marinette scrolled through her phone. Then a recording played
"Aw, poor Dupain-Cheng! I told you to join me, now look who's crying in the bathroom! I couldn't believe that you stupid ass friends believed me for every one of those ridiculous lies that I told!" Lila's venomous voice filled the classroom.
"Some friends they are! Oh! Did I hurt your feelings Dupain-Cheng? Oh! I didn't mean to Marinette! I hope you forgive me!" Everyone was left stunned at the change of tone in Lila's speech. Lila's eyes darted across the room. Everyone was shocked. Even Alya! Her most loyal dog!
"Aw, now don't get akumatised just because my dogs decided to confront you about punching me!" Marinette paused the recording at this and there was dead silence. Everyone was glaring at Lila as if she had committed an unforgivable sin, which she had. Threatening the sweetheart of Paris? That was low, even for Chloe!
A sigh left Marinette's lips. " I told you Lila, I'm a bitch, I'm a boss. I'm a bitch and a boss and I shine like gloss." Marinette continued with a smirk as a presentation appeared on the whiteboard in front of the class.
Adrien was surprised at how Marinette could be as cunning as a fox and as sly as a cat when required. He decided to continue for her as the Miraculclass was stunned at the evidence of Lila's lies in front of them (Courtesy of Alix, no one knew that she could hack the best security systems and could even give Max a edge with her skills!)
"Said bitch, I'm the after, you been the before
I been the stallion, you been the seahorse
Don't need a report, don't need a press run" Adrien stated nonchalantly, as Marinette gaped at him. All heads whipped towards the duo again. It was very unusual for Adrien to swear. Sure, they had heard him swear under his breath whenever he was late but that was only Nino!
Marinette continued in her mono-tone.
"All of my bad pics been all my best ones
I wear the hat and I wear the pants
I am advanced, so I get advance
And I do my dance and cancel the plans
Said boo, don't be mad 'cause you had the chance"
"Wait. Max, these dialogues are familiar to me, they are the lyrics of Boss bitch by Doja Cat!" Markov said.
"Ohmygod YES! Marinette and Adrien, I didn't know you used to listen to Doja!"
"Wow, hearing the sunshine child and the sweetheart swear was...weird"
"All that aside, I thought you actually wanted to choke Lila!"
Many voices muddled together as the class gasped collectively at the realization. Many already knew but decided to play along, it was worth it. Lila was still on the floor gaping at the duo in shock and Alya looked smug and proud of what Marinette had accomplished.
Then there were claps.
No, not from Lila, but from Ms. Bustier, who looked very distraught. She had heard everything. Even though it surprised her to see Marinette and Adrien swear, she was happy that they exposed the truth.
And as all good stories end, this one ended with Lila being suspended after being trolled.
