"LILA ROSSI!"

Max and Nathaniel dropped Lila's books at the sudden yell. Everyone in Ms Bustier's class turned to an an Mr Damocles at the door.

"You are in big trouble, young lady!" He cried, pointing at Lila.

"What did I do? I did nothing!" She immediately protested.

"Oh, you have done nothing, that's the problem! Last night, a concerned parent has contacted the board of education that because your 'disabilities', you need to be transferred to another school with better facilities for special needs. Just this morning, I have been accused for neglect since you have been here for so long! I never been so embarrassed! But when we looked into your file and contacted your mother, both claimed you are perfectly healthy! Your mother said you had told her that school was out due to Akuma attacks not being cleansed!"

The classroom erupted with shocked gasped.

"You've been lying to us?" Alya said to Lila, getting angry. "For real?"

"Then I suppose you could carry your own books around considering you don't have tinnitus." Nathaniel said snakily, folding his arms.

Lila knew she was outed. "You!" She screamed at Marinette who merely blinked. "You rattled me out! You made your mom call the board!"

"It wasn't Mrs Cheng who alerted us." Mr Damocles interrupted. "It was a Mrs Chin-"

"Its Lê Chiến."

A woman stepped into the class. She had a strong figure wearing a red tracksuit, her brown hair in a bun. Her eyes were narrow and dark-brown and her skin was pale with a yellow hue.

"This better get resolved quick. I'm missing my yoga workout for this."

"Mom?" Kim cried.

"For your short-sighted information, Mr Damocles, my son and I are Vietnamese, not Chinese."

"Who cares? You Asians look all the same!" Lila shrieked. Her outburst caused more gasps to go up.

"You racist pig!" Alya yelled.

"Come with me now!" Mr Damocles ordered.

Lila huffed but she slowly walked over to him. When she reached him, he grabbed her arm to make sure she won't get away.

Mr Damocles turned to Kim's mother, his furious expression swiftly reflecting guilt.

"I am so sorry, Mrs Lê Chiến!" He apologised.

The woman held out her hand, not even looking at him. "Just do the work you're supposed to do."

Dejected, Mr Damocles left the classroom with a pouting Lila in tow, leaving Mrs Lê Chiến with a room of flabbergasted kids.

Including her son.

"Mom, why did you do that?"

"Honey, you spent every dinner talking about your exciting new friend, Lila. But as you went on about her, you told me she has several disabilities which you are always helping her with. Your school could barely help with dyslexia, let alone tinnitus, Asperger's Syndrome, or anything else. And what's worse, your school is not doing anything to help her!"

"Mom, they are helping her! We were helping her!"

"Not with the help she needed. As a parent, I was deeply concerned. But I was wrong. She's only tricking you to do her work. I know you're at that age where you go crazy for any pretty girl but I cannot believe you got completely bamboozled by her. She wasn't even that pretty! I thought your father and I brought you up better than that." Mrs Lê Chiến then glanced to Marinette. "Marinette, it's so good to see you again. It's been so long!"

Marinette blushed. "Hello, Mrs Lê Chiến."

Mrs Lê Chiến turned to Kim, frowning. "Why didn't you stay friends with Marinette? She's a nice girl and doesn't take advantage of you. On the other hand, you take advantage of her!"

"Mom!"

"It's true! Didn't she made all of your victory posters for your ridiculous bets and organise your matches when she wasn't even part of your clubs? Recently, you have been complaining that Marinette is bullying Lila. But after today, I believe she was the only one in this place with her eyes and ears clear. As soon as you get home, you're washing the dishes, vacuuming every floor and do the laundry for the next three months."

"But I didn't do anything, mom!"

"You did more than enough, young man. Come on, kids. You have an idiot to believe that girl. She's got more holes than swiss cheese."

"CHEESE!"

Plagg soared up until Adrien grabbed him. But everyone was staring at him, quickly assuming him to made the cry.

"…I like cheese."

Mrs Lê Chiến shrugged and left in a light job.

The class was in total silence for a few minutes until Kim groaned.

"Great. Lila is exposed as a liar and I'm the one in trouble!"
