Takedown-Exposing a liar

Ch 3

I look around for Mari but I don't see her. "Are you looking for Marinette" asks Lila. " I am. But I guess she decided to have lunch somewhere else" I shrug. I sit down next to her and everyone crowds her. "Wow Lila you must be very popular!" I say. "I know so many famous celebrities. You know I actually met Jagged Stone recently. He likes the music idea I gave him and he might make it into an album soon." Out classmates chorus "that's amazing Lila" or "that's so cool Lila" Suddenly Marinette walks into the cafeteria to throw away her trash. I get up to follow her but I feel a tug and look at Lila. "I wouldn't follow her if I was you. She doesn't like me very much." I look at Marinette before sitting back down. "I can't understand why. You are a nice girl." I say. I shake my head and finish my food. I head back to class and sit next to Marinette again. She looks at me. "Do you believe Lila? She asks in a soft voice. "She hasn't given me a reason not to Mari. Maybe you should give her a chance. I smile at her but she looks away. Lila approaches us once more. But this time she come with a girl who I found out her name was Alya. "Want to hang out after school?" Asks Alya. She looks at me and then Marinette then back st me. "I don't think so. So far I have homework I need to catch up on. Maybe next time." The bell rings and Marinette packs up her things and quickly rubs away. "Good riddance that she left." Said Alya. "What why?" I ask. "She has been mean to me ever since I started here." says Lila in a timid voice. Alya comforts her and looks at the door where Marinette left. "That doesn't sound like Marinette." I frown. I nod towards Lila and Alya and leave the classroom thoughts running wild
