The Redemption

10

After a less than encouraging first get together with Tim I was determined to get to know him better even though he will one day figure out my identity just like I did his. I was more worried about his reaction though mainly because he has the man of steel on his corner. 

Mind you I was thinking this while preparing some ladybug, cat, dragon, fox, turtle, and bee themed cupcakes, macaroons, and sugar cookies with my family. Today was the official Hero day here in Paris in honor of Team Miraculous. Hopefully this won't end up like that unofficial Hero's week when we had Dark Owl  on our hands. 

So the bakeries way of celebrating was by doing hero themed sweets for our heroes. Well us but you get the picture. But that wasn't my main concern it was the fact that the eclipse was today the very same eclipse that Gong told me could strengthen every single one of us in both positive and negative ways. To say I was freaking out was the understatement of the century. "Lloyd time for school" Mom said bringing me out of my decorating fevor. 

"Right" I said hanging my apron up and washing my hands free of flour.

I then released my slightly longer hair from my hair tie it now reached my shoulders now unlike the strict style I kept it in when I first arrived. It was Mari's idea to let it grow out and everyone was saying that it suited me much better than my old hair style did. 

But enough of that for now I grabbed my backpack which I kept at the back door now-a-days before heading to school. I saw a limo that didn't belong to either Ari or Chloe out in front of the school only to be shocked to see Tim and Damian come out of it. "Tim! Damian!" I shouted though my tone came out more questioning than I'd like to admit," What are you two doing here?" 

"We enrolled here Cheng because Drake wanted to continue his education and be closer to you" Damian scoffed

I raised an eyebrow at this, "Mainly he wanted to see your sister" Tim told me in French

I glared at Damian in a hurt Mari I break your neck kind of way. I then took them both to the office to get their schedules before leaving for my classroom since showing them to their classrooms is the job of  the respective class rep not me since I was just a student here at the school even though I have been offered to become student council president I refused due to my other responsbilities. Though if it was offered to me again I might take it seeing how I've got everything down now. 

I sat down at my seat only for Mari to bring in Damian and Tim while I was reading Skin Game of the Dresden Files and no for those of you who have not read the books I am not spoiling it for you. "Hey Lloyd" Tim smiled at me

I did not see this coming. I nervously waved back not entirely sure of what to make of the situation at hand. Then the torture began in the form of Lila Rossi the school liar she really hasn't stopped lying since she was akumatized into Volpina and that has forced me to keep my distance I really don't want to be around someone with a poisonous personality like her's. "Man she is such a liar" Tim said from right next to me  

"Wait you can tell?" I asked

"Yup after all I am the Tim Drake she claims to be friends with but I've never met her a day in my life since I've only been with the Wayne family since I was ten " Tim said with a low growl

If your wondering what happened to Nath he was moved back a row. "Not to mention at one point my family was once considered to become heirs to one of the elements of Ninjago." Lila said

"Okay now that is a flat out lie" I snarled

My grandfather kept every record of every family that he considered for the role of elemental master and none of Lila's ancestors were on the list. Mari and Alya heard my remark about that and asked me what I meant by that. So I told them honestly. "Oh but my family asked to be removed from the list once they didn't receive anything" Lila lied again
