Your parents grounded you and took away your phone. The next day, several birds with messenger bags arrived. The birds chirped “Good morning sir, a message from your dear friend” and they read the message from your friends laughing at you being grounded.
YES YES YES YES

“All you’ve ever wanted was to be feared and rule the world, but every villanous act you do backfires. Steal candy from baby? Poisonous candy, baby saved. Steal the baby? Abusive parents. Threw a woman off the building? Push she needed to unlock her powers of flight, she’s now your sidekick.”
Your lordness, speaking of isekai... are you going to make another fic based on that? Because I checked and you're missing one of Norm the genie.
(Snaps fingers) I knew I was forgetting something!

“I wish I was the top model! Most popular and most famous and adored by the populous!”
So being top model wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. Her modeling jobs were at all hours, giving Lila limited time to relax or even sleep. She had a strict schedule that didn’t let her spend time with her followers to gloat and an even stricter diet that limited what she could eat.
She was not meant to survive on such small and tasteless portions!
At the very least, she had hoped for the opportunity to brag to the sheep at school, but being in such high demand meant they had to cut into her school hours, too! What was even the point of being the best if she couldn’t gloat about it?
Lila sighed as she prepared to step outside once again.
Still, it would be worth it for the popularity! Just remember, Lila! You’re the top model! Best of the best! Now no one will doubt how amazing you are and there is NOTHING that can ruin that for you!
…then Lila was almost instantly mobbed upon leaving her apartment.
Granted, it was what she had wanted. To be recognized on the street and adored by the populous.
“IT’S LILA ROSSI!”
But in retrospect, she probably should have talked to Adrien first about what to expect. Or really any other celebrity.
A shame she hadn’t known any.
And a greater shame she went out without any sort of bodyguard or protection as the mob was an actual mob that saw fit to take advantage of her ill preparedness to effectively jump the unsuspecting minor.
"I'VE GOT A PIECE OF HER JACKET!"
"THAT'S NOTHING! I'VE GOT HER SHOE!"
One particularly enthusiastic person cheered. "I GOT A CHUNK OF HER HAIR!"
And that person was immediately tackled by several others in a fight for the locks.
Lila, now sans some articles of clothing and sporting a new hairstyle, just managed to crawl out from beneath the pile of people. With them distracted by their infighting, she managed to dash away to a nearby alley to catch her breath. Which would have been fine had said alley not been full of garbage.
At least no one would think to look for her there, right?
And perhaps it was because no one noticed or thought to check that she was able to observe a rather special moment as a familiar voice reached her ears.
“Hey, Adrien. Sorry to hear you lost your top model spot.”
Lila peaked out and…yes, that was Marinette Dupain-Cheng on the street right outside the school. And sure enough, there was Adrien Agreste standing there as well—strangely ignored for once now that he was no longer the most popular model in Paris.
And yet he looked far from disappointed as he smiled at Marinette.
“Actually, I’m kind of grateful. Ever since Lila was named the new face of the brand, I’ve been getting less work.” He gave a shrug. “If anything, I’m enjoying the time off. I haven’t had this much free time in years!”
Lila gaped.
That was right! She had been too tired and busy to notice, but ever since her wish, she hadn’t been modeling with Adrien as much anymore. In fact, the amount of shoots she’d been having with him had been decreasing as her solo jobs have increased.
She clenched her fists in frustration.
Her wish was supposed to have made her the perfect companion alongside Adrien! Or at least if she outshone him, he was supposed to be impressed with her for it! Or at least more miserable than this!
Marinette smiled back at him. “Well, at least something good is coming out of it for you.”
He grinned. “Hey, how about grabbing lunch? Now that I’m not in demand anymore, I’m being allowed to get my own lunch now.”
The other girl blushed heavily at that and nodded. “O-oh! Okay! Sure yeah!”
And with that, the two walked away to get a lunch together. Just like something out of a movie about a perfect couple.
Lila twitched.
Honestly, it was as if the universe was laughing at her.
“NORM!”
2008 was a better time…

the potential for the "i felt that from you" to be a "i felt that for you" was strong
but the writers are fucking cowards
