Chapter 32: Reflekta
"Alright, everybody look at the camera! Yeah, perfecto!" Said Adrien's photographer. And yes, I refuse to learn his real name and will be calling him that forever. "Say spaghetti!"
"Spaghetti!" Says the class who's photo's being taken.
My classmates and I were waiting on the stairs for our turn to take the class photo. The last few weeks have gone by in a blur, and so have the akumas. Now it's Reflekta's turn to have an akuma I need to stop.
Personally, I've always disliked class photos. The only reason I don't them is because they let us skip at least fifteen minutes of class.
"This is so exciting, our first class photo together!" Cheered Marinette.
I giggled at her antics. "It's not that big of a deal, Mariette."
"But it is!" She protested.
"It's nice that your excited, but do remember to breath or we won't be able to have that photo," joked Alya.
"At least you know you're going to be in the photo," said a monotone voice behind us.
"No, Juleka. I'm telling you, you're not jinxed, this time it's gonna work out. I can feel it, right here," said Rose, putting both her arms on her chest where her heart is.
"What do you mean by that, Rose?" Alya asked.
Juleka sighed. "Since I was little, every time someone takes a photo of me, something always goes very wrong..."
"You're wrong Juleka, you'll see!" Said Rose.
"Yeah," I agreed. "We'll do everything we can to make sure it goes right this time." And I'll do everything I can to make sure you don't get akumatised. "Don't forget to smile!"
"Thank you, kids. You've been wonderful!" Said Adrien's photographer. After rearranging his equipment, he turned to us. "Okay, time to flash your pearly white's guys!"
"You kids take a seat in the front," he said pointing to Max, Sabrina, Marinette, Rose, Mylene, and Alix. "Quickly please, I have sixteen other classes to shoot."
Suddenly, Chloe laughed. "Look at you babies sitting in the front row. Don't forget to take your thumbs out of your mouths!"
No one laughed along with her.
"Pathetic," I said.
"You-!"
"And you, you, you, you and you, go stand on the rear bench please," said the photographer, excuse me, Adrien's photographer, pointing at Nath, Alya, Sabrina, Chloe and I.
This cause Chloe to break out into a fit.
"Wait just one minute, I'm supposed to be in the middle row right next to Adrien. Preferably in the center. Look," she tip-toed and put her hand between her and Adrien. "We're the same size!"
"And I'm a giraffe," I muttered.
"Jealous?" smirked Alya.
"Of Chloe? Never. Adrien doesn't give her the time of the day, much less consider her a romantic partner."
"I never said that," said Alya. He smirk was even bigger now.
"Then what did you say?"
"I-"
"UGH!"
Chloe stomped onto the bench next to Sabrina, looking like a steaming kettle.
"Is she going to be serving tea or boiled water?" I asked Alya.
She chuckled. "Don't ask me, I don't work at Chloe's Restaurant."
The students that were standing in front of us heard the joke and laughed along, causing us to be scolded by Miss Bustier.
"Sorry Miss," we said in unison.
"Perfect, you guys are all awesome, now stop squirming and let's get this photo shot!"
He bent down to click the button, but then I realized that Juleka wasn't standing in the photo.
"Um, Adrien's- I mean sir, you forgot Juleka." Maybe having that habit wasn't such a good idea.
"Hmm? Ah, sorry, my bad. Go stand in the middle row next to Adrien."
Once Juleka had taken her place, Adrien's photographer found another problem.
Apparently, Ivan couldn't fit in anywhere, no matter where he put him. I can't tell you how many times we moved. That's it, I officially hate class photos.
"Ah, I've got it!" Finally. "Oh, no. I can't believe this, I've run out of battery!
"Hmm, you there," he pointed at me. "Do me a favor and get the extra batteries I put on Mister Damocles' office table.
Just my luck. "M-me?"
"Yes, and hurry."
I worriedly looked back at Juleka, but the man was staring at me with a displeased look.
I decided I would make a quick trip in time to stop Juleka from being trapped in the restroom. After all, Sabrina won't help Chloe anymore, so what are the chances of that spoiled brat doing the work herself?
********
To answer my previous question, yes, the chances are high, because Reflekta is now running around and turning everyone into a copy of herself.
I was hiding in the locker rooms with Nino and the other students when Chat Noir suddenly jumped down from nowhere. Did my heart flutter? That's for me to know, and for you to never find out. Forgive me not.
He seemed to be murmuring something when Nino suddenly shouted, "Yo, check it! Chat Noir's going to save us!"
"Shh!" Said Chat, but Reflekta had already heard him. Way to go, Nino.
Reflekta, now aware of Chats presence, started shooting beams of transformation...Juice at him?
Chat dodged her attacks and swung onto the basketball hoop. He ripped i off the stand and shoved it on Reflekta, restricting her arms.
Having Successfully trapped her, Chat Noir jumped off the railings and landed on the floor once again.
Chat ran towards the exit and called for his cataclysm. He was about to use it when a couples of kids distracted him.
"Chat Noir, watch out!" I shouted.
"H-huh?" He turned around and was greeted by a smirking Reflekta.
She shot another beam at him before he could react, and he transformed into a Reflekta copy.
"Cataclysm!" He called, but nothing happened. "My miraculous! It's gone!"
No shit, Sherlock.
********
Ladybug and Reflekta were on the first floor, and from what I can see, it looked like a pretty civil one, but I know that it's not.
All of a sudden, Ladybug dropped her yoyo and Reflekta had transform her into another copy of herself.
"What? That's not supposed to happen..." I said, my eyes widening in shock. If both Chat Noir and Ladybug are defeated, then, who's going to defeat and devilize Reflekta?
The students around me seem to have come to the same conclusion and started panicking.
And though Reflekta had already gotten her revenge on Chloe, she had left the school in search of more people she could transform into herself even though there are still students that haven't been targeted yet.
Like I'm glad that I was spared, but at the same time, I'm kinda offended.
Back to what I was saying, Reflekta didn't look like she was going to stop soon.
But in the meantime..."Come on, everybody. Let's work together to get rid of these lockers so we can escape!"
********
