#Lila's POV#

Liar.

That was the word everyone seems to call me. They're not wrong, I guess. But it still hurts.

I remember that day. Gosh, it was just TWO WEEKS ago, how could I NOT remember? It was just my first at a new school. Everyone already had their friends and I was afraid I wouldn't fit. I was just so lonely.

"You're a liar."

Ladybug. How dared she? Humiliate me in front of Adrien? I just wanted a bit of attention! Why couldn't she be nicer?

I get it, though. She doesn't stand someone lying about her, as much as I can't take someone correcting me like that. But it doesn't mean I don't hate her. And that's why I became…

"Volpina". Hawkmoth is pretty convincing. I could get my revenge and ALSO impress my new classmates. And Adrien, of course.

But Ladybug uncovered me. And now, I'm not only a 'liar', I'm also an 'akuma'. Geez.

And I'm alone again.

#Marinette POV#

"Tikki, I'm feeling so bad about this!"

"Marinette, it's not your fault!"

"I know it isn't! She shouldn't have lied about me! IT WAS TOTALLY UNFAIR!!! But still…. She seemed so lonely… no one even LOOKED at her…"

Tikki started to look worried. I know I am over-exaggerating. Geez, a pleonasm. But I can't stop feeling bad for her.

"Marinette, it's not your fault." I know, Tikki, do you plan on repeat this the whole night? "Besides, I don't think there's anything we could do to help her out now."

"Yeah, maybe you're right." Ugh. I'm not even convincing myself over here. I guess if she had at least one friend, I wouldn't be so bad.

Of course I'm not guilty. She was wrong, and she needed to learn not to lie. And of course I was right to defend myself. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY lies about me. Not even Chloé lies about being my friend to everyone, or lies to belittle me, at least in particular, and Chloé is like, the worst, how could Lila do that?

I'm completely right. She shouldn't have lied from the beginning. But it's already been two weeks, and she talks to literally no one, and everyone talks about her behind her back…

I can't forget she hates me, but she doesn't know… me. She hates Ladybug. She doesn't know Marinette. I should talk to her. I'm Class President, after all, it's my duty to talk to my classmates and assure they're feeling good.

"But maybe you're wrong." Even if Tikki can't hear my whisper, I'm still saying this. 'Cause I know there's something I can do. And I will.

#No One's POV#

The next day, everything started the same.

Lila arrived at school and heard her classmates whispering about her. Liar. Traitor. Selfish. She was fighting back her tears when she entered the classroom, and quietly walked to her place, without looking up to anyone.

She had already decided she should stay the further she could from everyone; that's why she picked the last row in the classroom, behind even Nathanäel, and sat there alone everyday.

She was the first to enter the class and the last one to leave. Nobody even talked to her, why should she bother walking around with them?

It was better off that way.

In the meantime, Marinette had just arrived at school and was chatting up with Alya.

"You're going to WHAT???" exclaimed Alya, disbelief crossing her face.

"Alya, it's not that big of a deal. EVERYONE in this whole school knows Lila's lonely and sad, and no one cares. I'm just going to talk her. She doesn't deserve to be a loner just because she made a mistake."

Alya looked at her, with a half smile and a worried frown.

"Girl, you're just too nice for your own sake." She shook her head and pulled Marinette with her left arm.

"Well, it's just my duty as Class President", she said beneath a smile, "I have to keep my classmates happy!"

They both started laughing and headed together to talk to Nino and Adrien, that were just now crossing the main entrance. In her head, Marinette knew it was going to be a looong day.

#Chloé's POV#

"Ugh, Sabrina, walk faster!!!"

"I'm trying, Chloé!!!!"

Of course you are. MEH. She can't even carry our purse, my make-up bag and my shopping bag at once, why do I even talk to her?

Oh, of course, she's loyal. Good friends are hard to find nowadays.

"Chloé, can you hold the door for me please?"

"What?! Sabrina, I just got my nails done! Do you expect me to ruin then NOW??"

"No, Chloé, of course not! I can handle it, don't worry."

"That's better."

Why is this class sooo empty? I just see that Lila brat and the deviant tomato. Where's Adrikins?

Huh? Ah, great. The childish trio. Aaaand those two. Why are they always together? Maybe it's to contrast. Pink pink pink and emo emo black. Hehe. Those lovebirds, Rocky and Shorty. Heh.

That Mari-brat is not here either… Maybe she's trying to find something in her closet that doesn't look outta the trash. Ha, as if she could have clothes like mine! And she even calls herself a 'designer'. Oh gosh.

Ah, Adrikins is here! "Hi Adrien!!!" Eh. He is totally down for me. That friend of his… And them.

Ugh. Why does that 'Alya' thinks she knows sooo much more than everyone about Ladybug than anyone else? Specially me. Is obvious that I'm the number one fan of -wait, is she doing? She is going to… Tomato? Of course the two art disasters would… She passed THROUGH him? WHERE IS SHE GOING???? She's talking to… Lila?!?!?!

"Chloé? CHLOÉ!!!"

"WHAT, Sabrina?!"

"Chloé, you're breaking the desk!!! And why are you blushing so hard???"
