A/n- This picture is amazing👌🏼😂

*Kind of a filler chapter, but it really shows he emotion (I think, lol)

*Note: The beginning of this chapter is sort of based off of the movie "Cyberbully." If you haven't see it already, it's such a great and inspiring film! :) There is also a clip of the film up there! ^^

Marinette had wasted her weekend, sitting at her desk, constantly checking Twitter to see what people said about her post. There were comments like: I knew you weren't, lol. Or Who spread this rumor? Was it Alya?? And then there were these comments: Ur obviously lying. We get it, Marinette. You're a total slut. These comments were from Chloe and Sabrina, who was probably bribed into typing them.

And then there were the direct messages. That's where Lila came in. Wow, Marinette. Now Adrien will never want to look at you again. How does it feel to be the slut of the school? The bluenette gritted her teeth, angrily typing something back.

M: You're just jealous because Adrien will never like you, liar!

She waited patiently for a response.

L: Well at least I'm not knocked up in high school...

M: I am not pregnant! Chloe spread that stupid rumor, and you're dumb enough to fall for it?

L: No, just smart enough to go along with it😉

"Grrrrr..." Marinette balled her fists, turning her desktop off.

"Maybe you should stay off the internet," Tikki suggested.

"No, that's only going to give her and Chloe the satisfaction of winning!" It was Sunday, and for the past two nights, Chloe had been posting things that were directed at Marinette, and since Lila had a "reputation" to uphold, she just messaged her privately. "I hate them! I hate them so much!" She yelled, wanting to break something. Then came the tears. "Tikki..." She sniffled. "W-What am I supposed to do? They won't leave me alone."

"You could...what was it called again...block them?"

"Yeah, but I'd never know what they were posting about me. I have to know!"

"No you don't. If it's not true, it's not important."

"Yes it is! I just...I have to know!"

Suddenly, there was a scream from downstairs. Marinette quickly spun around in her desk chair, looking at her Kwami. "We've gotta get down there! Tikki, spots on!"

"Is everyone alright?" Ladybug asked every costumer (including her parents) at the bakery after de-evilizing another akuma and turning everything back to normal.

"Yes...I-I think so," a woman said. "Thank you, Ladybug and Chat Noir!"

"It was no problem," her partner said smugly, wrapping an arm around her, in which she quickly ducked under to get away from.

Apparently, a little kid in the bakery got upset and threw a huge fit because his mom only let him have one cupcake instead of two. His villain name was "Cupcake King," and he threw giant cupcakes at people, trapping them in the icing.

"Hawkmoth seriously needs better name ideas," Chat Noir commented as they began heading out the door. "I could probably help him with that."

Normally, Ladybug would've commented on how he "would just make them worse with his puns," or maybe even giggle at bit, but instead, she remained silent.

"...M'lady? Is everything alright?" He asked, a look of concern on his face.

"I'm fine, just tired," was all she said before using her yo-yo to jump to another building.

"But...we didn't even pound it..." Her partner said to himself with a frown.

"Plagg," Adrien worried as he lay in bed.

"What? And before you say anything, it better not be one of those long conversations about why you can't know Ladybug's identity."

"No," he sighed. "I just...couldn't help but notice that Ladybug seemed...off today. And it want just because she didn't mock me for any of my puns. It was also the way she fought. It was like she had no energy. Do you think she's alri-"

"Adriennnnn," The Kwami whined. "Please stop worrying about her. She probably is tired, ok? Just let me sleep and dream of cheese!"

The model rolled his eyes. "Where's my advice when I need it?" He muttered.

He tried to sleep, he really did, but sleep never came. And it wasn't only because of Ladybug. It was also what had been happening with Chloe and Marinette. Yes, he had gone on Twitter and seen the post. At first, he had been shocked, but he wondered if it had been Chloe's doing. And he was right. Or, at least he thought he was right. Whenever Marinette posted that she wasn't pregnant, she never specified who started the rumor. And he did happen to notice Chloe insulting her as much as she could during the weekend. It seemed she was doing ok fighting back. But was she? He hoped she was happy, because a girl like her didn't deserve to feel anything less than happy.

"Marinette? Hey, are you ok, girl? I've seen all the stuff on the internet Chloe posted about you. Just call me back, ok?" The bluenette let out a deep sigh after hearing her best friend's voicemail.

"You should do it!" Tikki encouraged. "She's probably so worried about you!"

"Yeah," she said emotionlessly. "I'll just text her."

M: Hey Alya. I got your message, and I'm sorry for not replying. I was kind of caught up in the Akuma attack at the bakery. Anyways, I'm doing fine. I'll see you at school?

She waited for about a minute, and she already had a reply.

A: Hey Mari! I'm so glad your ok! And it's totally ok that you didn't rely right away! I totally get akuma attacks...ugh, so annoying, right?🙄 Anyways, What are we gonna do about that spoiled brat?

M: I'll confront her tomorrow about it. Don't worry.

A: Alright. Well, if u need any help, girl, I'm right here!

Marinette didn't reply to that. This was her fight, not Alya's. She didn't need to get herself involved in this. It was already bad enough. There was no need to bring more people into it.
