Done with Lies

Nearly There

No ones POV

One day, just one day. One day until the best day of her life. Just like every other chapter in this story, Marinette rolled out of bed. Her hair unbrushed, eyes slowly opening and closing.

The water trickled down her face, as she walked out of the bathroom to get dressed. 'Ughhhhh, why can't this day just be over already' she thought. She trudged down the stairs and mumbled a small "morning.." to her parents. Over breakfast the had some small talk here and there but there was quite a lot of awkward silence. Out of nowhere Tom piped up asking "excited for your new school honey. You will be packing and moving all over summer," (btw her summer only lasts 2 weeks cause boarding schools and shit start their summer earlier in this story)

She nodded politely and excused herself from the table. "Bye Maman, Papa. I really have to go,". They gave her a quick hug and she dashed out the door. Like usual she got there half an hour early. As she entered the classroom she saw none other than that lousy group of jerks. They slowly walked up to her. "Enjoy your little 'vacation'" Alya sneered, venom lacing her voice. Kim and Ivan backing her up. "I mean you were so weak you couldn't handle a few bruises. Went crying to mummy and daddy," Ivan teased, Kim doing a crying jeasture in the background.

Marinette POV

"Leave me alone," I said blankly before brushing past them to get to my seat. Before I could sit down, the one person who I never would have guessed to be violent slapped me. "What the hell, Rose!" She glared at me. "Lila only hurt you because you treated her badly and she was using self defense! Your evil Marinette, your not who you used to be," she said. I kept my cool and walked back to my desk.

Time skip to after school (time for some dramaaa)

I was waiting outside since my parents wanted to take me out for icecream today. I was enjoying the sun until low and behold here comes Lila and her troupe to come and ruin it all. I braced myself for what was to come. "Hey you little idiot, is you mommy coming to pick you up. Too scared to walk by yourself, huh," Alya remarked having that ae malicious look on her face. "Leave me alone," I said again with no emotion just like the morning. They inched closer until there was barely a meters gap between us. "Aww too scared, or to weak," the way she had said that made shivers run down my spine. My parents had finally showed up but I didn't seem to notice. At this point Lila had stepped to the front, ready to take her jab at me. "aww you gonna cry, weak little Marinette. She helpless she can't even stand up for herself. I don't know how your parents put up with you, I don't know how anyone put up with you," That was it, I snapped.

"You know what, I don't care anymore..."
By that time Chloe and Nino had walked out. Once they saw Lila and her 'gang' they started fuming but saw that I was just as angry. "Why... why... WHY DO YOU HATE ME SO MUCH HUH! I WAS NOTHING BUT NICE TO ALL OF YOU. EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU. I DID YOU FAVOURS, I HELPED YOU WITH JOBS, GOD, I EVEN HELPED YOU WITH YOUR WORK. WHAT MORE DID I HAVE TO DO FOR YOU TO BE SATISFIED. YOUR ALL SO ENTITLED, JUST YOU WAIT YOUR KARMA WILL COME AND IT WONT BE PRETTY. IM DONE APOLOGISING, BEING AWKWARD. I'M DONE WITH ALL OF YOU. THANK GOD I DONT HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU ANYMORE. YOU CAUSED ME NOTHING BUT PAIN AND GREIF. I AM NOT GOING TO PLAY NICE ANYMORE. DONT COME NEAR ME, DONT TALK TO ME, DONT EVEN LOOK AT ME. I-I.... hate you, I hate you. I HATE you. You hear that. Now I will ask again, leave me alone," They loked baffled, stunned even. Adrian stepped forward, "calm down Marinette," I was LIVID "Calm down... CALM DOWN. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO CALM DOWN. GOD I CANT BELIEVE I WAS SO NAIVE TO FALL FOR YOU AND YOUR PRETTY BOY ACT.  YOU ARE JUST A FILTHY RICH BOY JUST LIKE YOUR FATHER. UGHH YOUR ALL SO STUCK UP AND FULL OF YOURSELVES. GET A LIFE INSTEAD OF RUINING MINE," As soon as I said that a small smirk formed on my face as I saw his face visibly pale. The moment was ruined though when Lila remarked "well Adrian was and still is too good for you,". She hugged his arm but Adrian still looked shocked and guilty?

I was about to go in for another 'attack' until I felt someone grab my wrist. It was Mrs Bustier and she was not happy, she looked furious. "MARINETTE, HOW DARE YOU SAY ALL OF THOSE THINGS. YOU SHALL HAVE DETENTION WITH ME FOR THE SUMMER. POOR LILA WAS JUST TRYING TO GO HOME. I CANT BELIEVE YO-,"  'Agh' was all that could be heard from the woman who was suposedly my teacher. "DONT TOUCH MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT, EVER," My maman said threateningly. Her voice was raised yet she still sounded so calm that it was terrifying. My Maman had yanked her hand off of me. "IF YOU ACTUALLY LISTENED TO THE WHOLE CONVERSATION THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THEY HAD ALSO DONE SOMETHING WRONG. YOU TEACHERS ARE DESPICABLE. INSTEAD OF ACCUSING TRY TO HAVE THE DECENCY TO ASK EACH CHILD. LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE. AND, Don't. Touch. My. Daughter. Ever. Again., got it?" Had she really been her that long. I loved my maman but she could be hella scary sometimes, even my Papa looked scared. But nothing could compare to the priceless faces of my soon to be ex teachers. Angrily she stormed into the building and straight to the principle, of this so called 'school'. How could I call it a school anymore, it was more like a torture chamber to me. My Papa knocked lightly on the door and a faint "come in," could be heard. Unlike my dad who strode in calmly my Maman was still fuming as she stopped her way over to the brown, worn - out desk in the middle of the room. "Hello, I would like to retrieve all the files you have on my Daughter," my Maman stated with gritted teeth. "I'm sorry but you need to have a formal document to take them I'm afraid," Harshly, my Maman slammed the papers down showing she had full access to my files. As he searched through the files he stopped and threw the papers in the bin. "Look Mrs Cheng. You don't have a valid reason to be needing them. So I cannot give them to you, If you have a problem with my decision then you may leave and take it up with the council,". My Papa tried to intervene but was cut off " I am actually glad you are here, we have had recent reports from teachers of verbal bullying from Marinette concerning a few students, mainly a Miss Lila Rossi. Now I hope you understand that we have to take action as a school. We have chosen to over look your out burst Mrs Cheng unless Miss Rossi's  parent, or any member of staff place a formal complaint. Marinette shall have to have a suitable punishment so I shall let you know by tomorr-". Before he could finish his sentence 'SLAM'. The noise echoed through the halls, that was bad but wait till you see Maman. "I'm going to stop you right there Mister- whatever your name is. First of all, I would like to give you some advice to check ypu facts before you accuse people of something especially a teenager. Second of all, I do not like the tone you used. I am a parent and I do NOT feel as if I was treated with respect. And lastly, if you must have a reason on why I need those files, my daughter had been treated like utter rubbish and neglected these last few months. Whether it was verbal abuse or physical I was appaled. You as a school failed to pick up on the fact that she was getting treated so badly. I WILL MAKE MYSELF CLEAR, THIS SCHOOL IS BY FAR THE MOST, NEGLECTIVE, UNTRUSTWORTHY, DIABOLICAL SCHOOL I HAVEBEVER SEEN,". She took a deep breath and regained her composure. "As I result of this unexceptable behaviour we shall be permanently take our daughter our of this school, for not only the neglect and bullying but her mental health and that so she is safe,". I have to cover my mouth to stop from erupting into laughter. He looked to shocked no- terrified. Only my Maman has that effect. "M-miss Cheng surely we can persuade you to stay. We s-shall investigate this issue until your satisfied. Please do not take your child out of our school  it seems extreme. If anything was bad Marinette would tell us,". He almost looked like he was pleading  for us to stay. "No excuses, we tried and you ignored us now, Give. Me. Those. Files,". Reluctantly he handed them over. I could hear the pleading of his voice fade away with every step.
By the time we had gotten home it was a bit later then usual. It was a Friday and my last day of that awful school! That means we could celebrate. My maman made rice with some Kung Pao chicken. And some Dim sum on the side. As we sat down on the sofa together, my father flicking through movies, I took a moment to think about how lucky I am to have such wonderful parents. My life wouldn't be complete without them. They have helped me in ways I cannot even describe. For that I am grateful. Just at that moment my thoughts were interrupted by my dad who had picked out a movie. 'Finally' I thought. I snuggled up to my parent as I slowly dipped my dim sum in soy sauce, making sure it was covered 'I'm finally free from the tourmenting and bullying. I. Am. Free'. With that I focused on the movie, tomorrow awaits, those words will sink in eventually.
