A short while later, Marinette was back in class along with Sabrina and Lila. Marinette gave Lila a little wave, which Lila was very confused by, but ignored it. Miss Bustier was busy sorting papers, and in the next five minutes was going to start the attendance.

Lila didn't notice the folded paper that Rose had put beside her as she took a seat. Marinette sat down, waiting for Chloe to bang open the door and yell out who locked her in the room.

Her phone dinged. She took it out while looking over at Miss Bustier, who was getting prepared to start class. Once Marinette looked down at her phone, she realized it was Adrien texting her.

A - hey Mari. How are you doing?

M - I'm in school. And you're not. Again!

A - sorry, I'm on my way. My father was nice enough to let me have my phone back again. Anything interesting going on right now?

M - oh yeah there is. Ivan came up with a plan to use on Chloe and Lila, and I've got people helping me. Btw Adrien, if you don't want to be late for school, you better hurry in now-

Marinette looked up as the door opened and Adrien walked inside, closing the door after he walked in, holding his phone on one hand and his bag on the other.

M - you made it.

"Nice for you to join us, Adrien. You may please take your seat," Miss Bustier pointed over at the seat. Adrien gave Marinette a wave first before he took a seat right next to Nino.

"Alright," Miss Bustier started. "For today's class, we are going to be doing-"

"WHO DID IT?!" The door suddenly banged opened, interrupting Miss Bustier from what she was about to say. An angry looking Chloe stepped inside the class, her face red from raging. You could literally see the smoke coming out of her ears and nose.

"Who did what?" Lila asked. "Where have you been?!"

Marinette smirked, knowing that the best part was now unfolding right in front of them. She gave Rose a small nod, telling her that it was her time now.

Chloe was still fuming, waiting for someone to spill the beans. "Someone locked me inside a room while I was trying to get my bag. Who. Did. It?!"

"Chloe, I'm not sure about who locked you, but... I did see Lila secretly following you when you were going to get your bag," Rose spoke up. Chloe turned to her.

"What?!" Lila angrily spat as she stood up. "I'm innocent! How could you even say that, Rose?"

"Actually, I don't think Rose is bluffing," Mylene spoke up next, just like the plan. "I did see you putting a black key inside your bag. It was kinda weird, but I decided not to think much of it. I mean, I thought it was weird because I remember seeing Miss Morgan, the librarian, using that key multiple of times to open Room #206."

"Room #206?!" Chloe turned to Lila. "That's the room I was locked in. Care to explain, Lila?!" Right now she didn't even care if she was working together with Lila. She wanted to find who did that to her and make them pay! She didn't believe so quickly that Lila would do such a thing to her, but if two people had already pointed her out, she wasn't so sure anymore.

"Hey, look," Max called out, pointing at the paper right beside Lila. "I saw Lila drop that paper on the floor. She must have done it by accident."

Lila suddenly didn't know what was happening. She was being framed. She quickly looked over at Adrien, who was shaking his head in disappointment. "I... I didn't do anything!"

"Well then, let's find out," Max picked up the paper. "Just like I thought; it is yours. I'll read;

"Chloe is such a bossy-boot. The only reason I'm ever with her is to get my revenge on Marinette, plus her dad does buy me whatever I wish in the store because I'm very close to her. But I hate her so much. She's never going to know that I'm using her anyway.

I just want to be on my own. If I try to get Marinette on my own, I'm going to fail, because I seriously think that Marinette is too damn smart. That's why I'm using Chloe, Sabrina and Nathaniel to help me. They could do whatever I want. By the end of this revenge thing, after we're done with Marinette, I can finally stop worrying.

But I can't help feeling so angry about how Chloe only cares about her feelings. I mean, there are some things I want too! I want to have a go at Adrien. I want to break Adrien and Marinette up so that Adrien can finally notice me and make me his girlfriend. But all Chloe ever cares is about that stupid designing competition. I mean okay, you lost, big deal. Get over it!

She should consider me being a boss. Just because she's the rich one, just because she can buy whatever she wants without having to worry about the money, doesn't mean she deserves to boss me around. Maybe, if I secretly play a prank on her, it'll make me feel better, and forget about what a total brat Chloe is. Like seriously, there's no way she can ever become a better person, and she thinks she's way prettier than me?! Pah! Everyone knows I'm the prettiest. I'm just by her side to make her feel stupid about everything, and hopefully I can finally get Adrien all to myself!!"

Lila widened her eyes in shock as people started whispering about the letter. Chloe couldn't believe it. "Let me see that!!" She walked up to Max and snatched the note away, then she read it, reading the same words Max had just read. She turned to Lila with full hatred burning her eyes.

"This is how you felt?!" She glared at Lila so hard that Lila just wanted to shrink away. "After everything! I even offered help, and this is how you're going to pay me back?! You treat me like garbage, while I treat you like a princess, buying you all those clothes without complaining, having my own dad get you whatever you want, and getting you out of trouble! You were my best friend, Lila! But I see that you obviously don't feel the same way!"

"I... I didn't write that note, Chloe!"

Marinette turned to Sabrina, who's turn it was to say something about the key, but Sabrina just closed her mouth, not going to say anything. Marinette then shook Kim's shoulder and nodded at him.

"Hey, if you say you're innocent, then why don't we check your bag?" Kim asked. "Mylene did say she saw you putting a black key in your bag, so let's see."

Lila smirked. "Yeah, you're right!" She glared at Mylene, before getting her bag and unzipping it. "Adrien, would you do the honor and search my bag for any key?"

Adrien wasn't sure about what was happening, but he stood up and searched Lila's bag anyway. A few seconds later, he pulled his hand back out, holding a black key. "Does this count?"

Students all over the room gasped. Lila widened her eyed in shock, then she turned to Chloe. "I didn't... I didn't put that there..."

"SHUT UP!" Chloe yelled running for the door. "I'm done with all your lies, get it?! The name, Lie-la definitely fits your personality. I can't believe you!" She ran out of the class, banging the door on the way out.

Lila turned to everyone who was looking back at her. She then snapped her head towards Marinette. "I know you did this!"

"Lila, you've just been accused of something, and you're going to accuse another person?!" Kim exclaimed. "Wow, just wow. You should be thinking about how to get yourself out of this situation!"

"I... I know it was Marinette!" Lila turned to Miss Bustier, who couldn't believe what had just happened. She swore she saw a tiny bit of tears spilling from Chloe's eyes as she had ran off. "Marinette set me up. She just wanted to get Chloe mad at me!"

"Lila, the last time I checked, you thought of me as a naive, stupid and innocent girl," Marinette smiled innocently. "Where would I get the brain to think of setting you up like this then?! Lila, I'm not like you!"

"I KNOW IT WAS YOU!!" Lila screamed. "You're a horrible brat, Marinette. I can't believe you would stoop that low to do this! Seriously! What did I ever do to you?!"

"Did you seriously just ask me that question, Lila?" Marinette frowned. "I can start naming lists of horrible things you did to me! I can even name horrible things you plan to do to me in the future. Lila, think about your question before you ask it out loud."

"You...!" Lila took a step forward and raised her arm. "You brat. I'm so done with you!"

The next second, Marinette was covering her cheek from the slap that Lila had just gave her. Lila backed away, before she too took off, leaving the room.
