Put You In Your Place
Alya was just walking through the courtyard, looking down at her phone as she updated the Ladyblog. Then suddenly, the cords of an electric guitar sounded out from Ivan’s phone which was hooked up to a small speaker
Everyone looked and saw Nathaniel standing at the top of the stairs making the following announcement, “Meet Clarisse! Daughter of Ares, god of war!” Alix pushed him to the side.
“You got a problem with that?!” She points to Max, standing oh so innocently in the crowd. “Prepare to be pulverized, newbie!”
The crowd of students cheered when they realized what was going on. Alix makes her way down the stairs and began singing, shocking Alya and quite a few with her singing voice they’ve never heard her use
“You wanna know whose house you're fighting for?!
The god of strategy, the god of war!
The god of water or the god of death!...” She looks to Aurore and sent the blond girl a wink, making her blush. “Before you take your final breath.”
She continued, “God of messengers, go take a note!” She points to Alya, who still has her phone in her hand
“You're gonna drown, you ain't gonna float!
You're gonna lose, yeah, you missed the boat!
It's gonna be bloody murder she wrote!” She struck a pose and formed the rock and roll sign with her hands, making the crowd go into an uproar
But she wasn’t finished. While she was on the eighth or seventh step, she leaped into the air, did an incredible aerial flip, and landed perfectly on the floor, “I'll put you in!
I'll put you in!
I'll put you in your place!”
”I'll put you in!
I'll put you in!
I'll put you in your place!”
Max stared with his jaw hung open, “We have to beat her?!”
Sabrina spoke, “Don't worry, Athena always has a plan!” She turns to Kim and Nino and sang.
“Every demi has a special skill!”
“Special skill,” they echoed.
“Speed or brains or the strength of will!”
“Strength of will!”
“But see she's gonna take a special spill...” With a confident look on her face, she dropped to the floor and did a perfect split. Everyone cheered. “Right to the bottom of the biggest hill!”
With a smirk on her face, Alix, with Nathaniel and Marinette trailing behind her, stormed over to Sabrina and the others, “Don't mean to boast! I don't mean to brag! But you losers are a total drag!”
The two artists formed L’s with their fingers. They put them up to their foreheads and taunted, “Losers!”
“I feel your spirits starting to sag!” She wraps her arm around Max and points to Kim, “He could capture your heart! I'm gonna c-c-c-c-capture the flag...!” Then Alix dropped to her knees and held that note.
“I'll put you in!”
”I'll put you in!”
”I'LL PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE!”
“I'll put you in!”!
”I'll put you in!”
”I'LL PUT YOU IN YOUR PLACE!”
Alix rose to her feet and walked off with Marinette and Nathaniel. Sabrina turned to Kim, Nino, and Max, “All right, team. Let's talk strategy.” She points to Kim, “Hermes kids are fast, so, Luke?”
He gives her a salute, “Foot brigade. Got it!”
She nods, “Right.” Then Nino, “Grover, satyrs are creatures of Pan, god of the wild. You know what to do?”
He gives her an enthusiastic nod, “Yep! Hide in a tree!”
Max interrupts, “What about me? I don't know my talent yet.”
“I have a special job for you. Go to the boy's bathroom...”
“... And?” He motions for her to continue.
Sabrina crosses her arms, “Stay there. It's your first day. We don't want you messing this up.”
Without another word, Max ran off when the students playing the Ares kids returned. Both groups got into fighting stances and yelled out,
”BATTLE!”
A guitar solo played as they mock fight. Students almost went to pry them apart because of how real it looked. Once the electric guitar faded out, they ran off, and Max was now standing in the middle of the courtyard.
He sighed, “Okay. Just stay here. Just stay in the bathroom, and stay out of-“
“Trouble? HA!”
The crowd of students parted for Alix as she approached Max, a ferocious look in her eyes. Marinette and Nathaniel stood behind her with their arms crossed.
“Heard you were tough!” She looks him up and down, “But you don't look it!
Your goose is cooked!
I'm here to cook it!”
”Maybe the minotaur died from a case
Of laughing too hard from seeing your stupid face!” She finished with an impressive rock and roll stage slide that could rival Jagged’s.
Max started backing away... “Look, "Captain Crazy", but the flag ain't here!” ...Only to trip and fall on his back. “You got some issue with me, it's pretty clear!”
“You faced a monster on your very first day!” She grabs him by the collar of his shirt and hoists him up, “You lucky punk! Now, newbie, you're gonna pay!”
“I'll put you in!”
”She'll put you in!”
”I'll put you in!”
”She'll put you in!”
“I'll put you in your place!” (”She'll put you in your place!”)
“I'll put you in!”
”She'll put you in!”
“I'll put you in!”
“She'll put you in!”
Max was able to escape Alix’s grasp and ran off as she continued.
“I'll put you in your...” She thrust her fist into the air, “PLACE!”
After a moment of silence, the bell rang and the students made their way to class, engaging in conversations about homework and weekend plans as if all of that didn’t just happen. Alya remained frozen in place, her face showing nothing but complete and utter bewilderment, “W... They just...”, she stammered, “Huh?!”
