You're The Music That's Been Playing In My Head: Book Four

Confrontation: Part 2

"I declare we have a form-filling strike. No student files, no career forms."

"But we already turned our forms in..." Juleka points out and Rose nods.

"Juleka's right. Everyone but Adrien already handed in their forms."

The meeting ends with no solution to the problem

°❆⋆.ೃ࿔*:･

I opened my returned career form to find I'd been approved for the high school I wanted to attend, specializing in the curriculum I needed for my dream job. I hummed in thought, wondering why this was correct. I get my answer soon when everyone else starts gasping in disbelief at their career forms.

"Optician?! That's not what I want to be at all!"

"Phy-si-o-therapist?!"

"Swimming instructor?! But I can't even swim!"

"Minister of the Interior? Interior of what?!"

Complaints filled the classroom and I started to understand when I saw Marinette was in a fashion curriculum like she wanted. 

Give everyone but us the wrong career and we become prime suspects for causing the problem.

"Are you alright? Jul...?" Rose asks Juleka after noticing how quiet she is, soon gasping. "Repeating the year?! That's completely bogus!"

Everyone goes into an uproar upon hearing this, asking each other what is happening.

"Juleka, it's gonna be ok, we're gonna figure this out and fix it," I reassure, grabbing her hand while Rose holds her other one, placing Juleka's magical charm in her palm.

"(y/n)'s right, we'll figure this out so right now focus on resisting so you don't get akumatized."

"I can't repeat the year again..." Juleka murmurs and we watch as a Megakuma flies into her career form, the magical charm breaking.

Everyone gathers around her, encouraging her not to help Monarch but it is too late.

"Staying together no matter what? A great idea my dear Nino," Reflekta exclaims, throwing her fan at him, turning him into a Reflekta.

"If we're all identical who can keep us from being together all the time? Together forever!"

The Reflektas start attacking, turning everyone they catch into a copy as we all rush out of the classroom. Finding a hiding spot I transform and leave the school in time to watch Reflekta use clout on the school, releasing her army into the city as Ladybug and Chat Noir land next to me.

"We better find a solution before the whole city is crawling with Reflektas."

"Reflektas with the tiger's punch as a bonus, it's not gonna be easy."

"Then how about we not waste time and skip straight to the Lucky Charm?" The three of us converse before LB nods, summoning her lucky charm.

"So they multiply...Then let's divide them," Ladybug murmured, looking at the scotch tape in her hands.

"As long as it gets us out of this sticky situation M'lady."

Grabbing a cloth that looks like a brick wall, we set the illusion up in an alleyway with my kunai knives and the tape. After that, I wait at the 'wall' to make sure nobody messes it up while LB and Chat get a Refltka to chase them to the wall and use clout on each other. I cover my face from the big explosion, waving away the smoke and letting out a few coughs while Ladybug with the Megakuma, and gives Juleka the improved magical charm.

"Juleka, this new magical charm will remind you to never give up hope and your friends will always be there with you."

Back in class, we all reassured Juleka we weren't mad at her and that everything would be ok.

"Lila. What happened during the teacher's rep meeting?" Alya asks, gaining everyone's attention.

"I don't know, all I did was defend what was in the files (y/n) and Marinette had given us," Lila exclaims, all eyes falling on us.

"What's on your sheets?"

We tell them we were approved for where we wanted to go and Madelyn points an accusatory finger at us.

"Aha! That totally proves they're the villain!"

"(y/n), Marinette, you didn't need to do this," Lila gasps, kicking Madelyn to shut up.

"Do what?"

"They're obviously mad at you for electing me and Madelyn to replace them as class representatives. But you do realize that by creating those fake forms, you've destroyed their futures? You'd risk losing all your friends? That nobody will ever trust you again and everyone will call you a liar," Lila goes on and I give her an unimpressed bored look.

"You have circumstantial evidence at best, and that's a pretty bad motive. If everyone wanted you as class rep then oh well," I say and Marinette crosses her arms defiantly as she chimed in.

"How exactly would we have made these fake forms?"

"By forging everyone's handwriting for instance."

"Neither of us know how to do that," I point out before Marinette again chimed in.

"Unlike Sabrina."

Sabrina steps up with a guilty expression. "Yes I admit it, I forged the forms."

"Be brave Sabrina, this is for everyone's good who asked you to do something so terrible?" Lil asked and everyone looked at her expectantly when she made eye contact with me and I gave her a reassuring look.

"YOU DID!" She yells in Lila's face. "Lila and Madelyn forced me to do it, they stole my locket from Delmar and threatened to never give it back if I didn't make the forged documents!"

"You traitor! That wasn't—" Madelyn starts to shout when Lila stomps on her foot. (This is when everyone should've realized the truth *sigh*)

"Oh Sabrina, I'm sorry. I didn't notice that my becoming friends with Madelyn was hurting you so much. You became so blinded by jealousy that (y/n) and Marinette like a civilian Monarch and Mayura took advantage of it to manipulate you," Lila says sympathetically, causing Sabrina to start crying.
