This time it wasn't the sound of the loud alarm clock that woke Marinette up on Thursday morning. This time it was the loud sound of objects being flung at the wall, things breaking, and yelling echoing the house. 

They're fighting again. 

When Marinette had returned home last night with Adrien from the bakery, she had heard Andy and Hannah yelling, arguing about Stella and her stay here. 

Hannah wanted her gone so badly. She even wanted to throw her things out, calling her a home-wrecker. Andy on the other hand didn't mind Stella staying. He told Hannah that it was just helping her out, nothing else, but Hannah wouldn't agree with it. 

Marinette got out of her bed and left her room in her pj's. She saw Andy helping Stella up at the bottom of the stairs, while Hannah stood at the top, yelling that she hadn't done anything. 

"Hannah, don't make me hate you as well!" Andy yelled. "Why did you push Stella down the stairs? Stop lying!"

"I didn't!" Hannah balled her hands into fists, glaring very deeply at Stella, who was looking pitiful in Andy's eyes. 

Marinette sighed. "Can't believe you two are still fighting over this woman." She definitely knew Andy and Hannah were going to have problems with Stella around, but should she herself mind? "You two just grow up! Andy, it's very wrong to bring another woman to this house with your wife here."

"Exactly!" Hannah yelled, looking proud that Marinette had spoke up for her. 

"But Hannah," Marinette turned to her. "Don't act like such a baby. Why do you want Stella gone so badly? It's not like Stella has made a move yet. It's not like Andy has cheated on you with her yet. When that happens, then you can act like such a dramatic queen!"

Andy sent Hannah a smirk. 

"Alright I'm leaving." Marinette turned back around and headed inside her room. That was just the thing; she could call her adoptive parents by their first names and they wouldn't do anything about it. Whenever they were having a fight as well, Marinette could speak her thoughts and they wouldn't lash out on her. 

She went to the bathroom and took a shower, noticing that all the yelling and arguing had died down. After her shower, she brushed her teeth, before she headed out of the bathroom, wearing the clothes she had picked out for herself. 

"Psst, hey..."

Marinette turned around to see Stella heading towards her. She sighed and waited for Stella to reach up. 

"Yeah, what's up?"

Stella seemed to be wearing a smirk on her face. "Why are you even their daughter?"

"Adoptive daughter," Marinette corrected. 

"Oh, they adopted you?" Stella looked surprised. "How can they dream about taking care of a daughter when they can't even take care of themselves?"

Marinette laughed. "Yeah, totally." Why did she suddenly have a change of mind about Stella. "But can you tell me why you're really here? I don't believe that you really got kicked out of your apartment and asked to live here."

"Oh, okay fine," Stella looked around, before she took Marinette inside the bathroom again, closing the door. "I do live in a house. I live with my best friend and her cat, Tubby..."

"Then why did you lie?"

"To get revenge, that's why!" Stella exclaimed. "I hate those two so much!"

"Both of them?"

"Both of them," Stella nodded. "See, we all knew each other when we were back in school. I want to get revenge on Hannah, because in school, she was the Mean Girl. She was always bullying me, getting others to bully me or not help me at all. She was such an annoying girl as well. She pretended she was my best friend only to betray and stab me in the back later on, and it hurt. Before I left the school, I told her I was going to get revenge on her, but she just laughed me off. Well, here I am!"

"Oh," Marinette had to admit, she was suddenly beginning to like Stella. "And what about Andy?"

"He hurt my best friend, so I'm getting revenge for her," Stella spoke. "He cheated on her, and told her that they were nothing in the beginning. For more than two months, my best friend couldn't get over it. Don't worry, she's over it now, and I've come back for revenge."

Marinette then frowned. "Why are you telling me this?"

"I can tell that you hate them," Stella spoke. "I can see it in your eyes, the way you look at them with disgust and hatred. That's the same look I always gave Hannah back in school."

Marinette smirked. "I kinda want to help you now."

"I was hoping you would say that," Stella smiled. "Whenever you decide, you can always come find me." She opened the bathroom door and both of them stepped out.

"Yeah, I sure will." Marinette waved at her, before she made her way out of the house. Stella turned out to be more than I expected. Revenge? On Andy and Hannah? Man, I can't wait for this! 

                                                                             ❣❣❣

Lila tugged a little on her wig, making sure it was on tightly and wouldn't fall off. All around her were people that could see her if her wig did fall off. They could take pictures of her, point at her and call her names. It had been so long since she had been outside, so she wasn't really sure on what was going on. 

She then took hold of the white bag and started walking out of the store. When she was walking towards the bus stop, the red-light turned on her and she stopped to wait. 

Shoot! I can't miss my bus! 

Then the green-light was on. As she was walking across the road, she turned around and gasped when she saw someone she had never thought she would see. 

Marinette, in her car, was waiting for the red light to turn to green. She didn't realize Lila, because she was in a disguise, but it's not like she cared either. 

Lila quickly turned away and started running towards her bus stop. She made it before the bus could take off. 

I saw Marinette, I can't believe it. This makes me want to try out my plan even more. No one would know! 

She got off the bus at her stop and ran towards her house. Getting there, she unlocked the door and ran inside. 

"Lila, whew, you bought the groceries," Lila's mother walked up to her and took the bag. "Good thing you're actually helpful around in this house."

"Mother, forget that. Guess what?" Lila chuckled with an evil smirk. "I have about an even better idea. Since I've been going outside for two weeks now, buying groceries and all that, it seems that the disguise really works."

"So then what's your plan?"

"School!" Lila rubbed her hands together. "I want to go to school. We'll make an even better disguise, I'll change my

name. It'll be better to go to school rather than having a teacher come here. It's not like that teacher even likes me; she gives me a hard time."

Lila's mother was thinking about it, Lila could tell. Finally she sighed and nodded. "I think that's an excellent plan as well. I'll sign you up as a new student."

 "Make sure it's the exact same school Marinette is in," Lila smirked as she headed to her room. 

Oh Marinette, you don't know what's heading towards you! 

                                                                                  ❣❣❣

Marinette finally parked and got out of her car, wanting to see if she was right and someone was really following her. When she turned around, she saw the familiar black limo that belonged to Adrien, and started walking towards it. 

The door opened and Adrien stepped out, looking a little embarrassed that he had been caught. 

"Care to tell me why you've been following me?" Marinette asked, folding her arms. "People could take pictures, you know. They could post it online and get more people to believe that we're dating, when we're not!"

"Sorry, Marinette," Tom's words about keeping Marinette safe and making sure she was okay filled his mind, but he didn't say anything about it. "I was just. . ."

"What?"

"I. . . I want to hang out," Adrien blurted out instead. "Nino's busy with his new girlfriend, but he wouldn't exactly tell me what the problem is. Um, Plagg. . . I honestly don't know what that guy is doing. Today isn't school, I usually spend days like this with them, but seeing that they're busy-"

"I get it, I get it," Marinette chuckled. "You could have just asked me instead of following me."

"What was I supposed to do? You were driving, and didn't even notice me behind you after a while," Adrien turned back to his limo. "Anyway, where should we meet up?"

"At the park," Marinette answered, walking back to her car. "The closest park you can find!"

"Alright, I'll meet you there," He waved at her, which was something he shouldn't have done. He could now see some people smirking and pointing at him, whispering as well. Adrien sighed and headed inside the limo, not wanting to deal with these people now. 

A few minutes later, he was right in front of the closet park he could find. He could also see Marinette parking right in front of him. 

He stepped out of his limo and headed towards her. "Hey, seems like we found the same park."

"Only I came here first," Marinette smirked as she stepped out and locked her car. "So, is Gorilla going to join us?"

Adrien looked back at Gorilla, who was still inside the limo, not planning on leaving. He must have been so used to staying and waiting in the limo, that he didn't want to get out now. 

Adrien waved at him and motioned for him to come out. He wanted to hang out with Marinette, so he wasn't exactly sure on how long that was going to take. Gorilla couldn't wait in the limo. 

Gorilla didn't come out though. Shrugging, Marinette and Adrien started walking inside the park.

"It's really nice out."

"Yeah," Adrien muttered, reminding himself why he had been following Marinette in the first place, and why he had decided it was okay to hang out with her now. 

Marinette opened her mouth, wanting to ask a question, about his family, about him, but she couldn't bring herself to doing it. 

You know what? It's better that I don't risk anything. For now, it's good to have Adrien as a friend.
