When Juleka returned to class, her fellow students all seemed to show some sort of relief at her return, barely scathed by the stray pen. The teacher expressed her concern about Alya getting lost on the way back however, but Juleka explained she had just gone to the toilet. That was fifteen minutes ago.

Most of the students had carried on without paying much attention to their missing peer, and the teacher herself had failed to realised that there was not just one, but two students missing at this point. That was until Lila raised her hand innocently.

"Miss Bell?"

The teacher peered up from her desk, assessing Lila for her interruption of the quiet working atmosphere. "Yes Lila?" She answered curtly.

"Both Nino and Alya have not come back yet... should someone go to look for them?" Lila used her best impression of a concerned friend adding, "what if something has happened to them?"

The teacher pursed her lips, as she continued to assess Lila. Miss Bell was cut off from her reply, as four students entered the classroom. "Ah there they are!" Miss Bell feigned relief turning her attention to the newest interruption, "now that they've finally joined us, do you think you can get back to work please Lila?" Miss Bell raised her eyebrows expectantly at the Italian who simply smiled in response.

In her sweetest voice, Lila replied, "of course Miss Bell."

"Marinette, Adrien, could you come and see me please?" The teacher sharply addressed the late comers. "Alya and Nino take your seats."

The other two students took up their usual spots in the room, Alya suppressing the need to wallop the brunette next to her for what she had done this morning. The reporter accepted that she behaved rashly and had let her emotions get the better of her, but at least she now knew the truth. Sharing a discreet glance and a nod with Juleka, she affirmed that she had spoken to Marinette, the purple hair tipped girl smiling kindly back in understanding.

"You were gone a while," Lila muttered quietly to Alya. "What did she have to say for herself?"

"Not a lot," Alya replied simply, trying to keep her voice level.

"I can't believe she's shown her face again." Lila narrowed her eyes as she discreetly watched Marinette take her seat in the back with Adrien in tow. "I am disgusted with Adrien, I thought he was my friend."

"He is also Marinette's friend Lila," Alya struggled to keep the warning edge out of her voice. "After this morning I don't know how you could think he was your friend after this morning?" She muttered sarcastically to herself. If Lila noticed any change in the reporter, she chose to ignore it and the Italian resumed her deflated demeanour. Noticing this, Alya proceeded to see how far the diplomat's daughter would go with the lie. "I know you're upset Lila, but isn't it better to find out now what he's really like than, in say, a year or so's time?"

The reporter had been convincing enough in her deliverance and Lila took the bait. With a muffled sob, she replied through her hands, "we've already been together for a year!" She whisper exclaimed, before throwing her head on her arms. "That ring was meant to be for our one year anniversary!" She finished softly into her arms, missing the annoyed seething purse of Alya's lips.

The story of the ring had changed, and Alya had witnessed the easy lie come quickly. The Ladyblogger was counting down the minutes until the bell rang, 'this is going to be good.' Glancing towards Marinette, she caught Adrien staring at the back of Lila's silent sobbing form. 'If looks could kill...he has always been protective of that girl,' she shrugged as she she turned to face the front of the class once more, resisting the urge to pull Lila up right there and then.


Nino sat happily in the front row of the class. Nino knew what the plan was. He was looking forward to having Lila exposed for the conniving little shit that she was. The DJ pondered what the Italian's reaction would be, when her lies finally came crashing down around her. He thought back to all the other possible lies she told, and cursed himself and his fellow blind believers of her claims. With the recent revelation of who his best friend was, he kicked himself for not seeing it sooner, but was determined to keep his secret.

Being the friend that he was, Nino texted Chloé, as he knew the major's daughter would play a vital role in bringing down the beast. She may not be one of his favourite people, but she always had his bro's back. Nino could not begrudge Chloé the satisfaction of adding her own nail to the liar's coffin. Plus in a strange way, it would probably help them bond with the socialite, only making Adrien's life that bit easier.

Nino: Spoke to Chat. Meet me in the courtyard at dinner.

Chloé: Who is this?

Nino: It's Nino...

Chloé: And I care because...

Nino: Dude's coming here at dinner to talk to Rossi!


Chloé looked at her phone screen. Sabrina was taking notes so she did not have to worry about missing anything, surely daddy could bring her grade up if need be anyway. The blonde was excited, but no one could know of course. That Marinette had always been an annoying little bug to Chloé, and after contemplating her epiphany some, the fact that she still idolised her black-spotted counterpart irked her. However, lying Rossi irked her more.

Lila had worked her way into the class by spinning some tall tales and playing the victim, at least Dupain-Cheng was actually genuine. Chloé had to hand it to the bluenette, she always thought about other's, like the time when she brought her mother and herself closer, Chloé was grateful for that. 'What does Rossi do? Lies to get what she wants, at least baker girl lies to save Paris.'

Chloé rolled her eyes while she slouched behind her desk, 'baker girl took my Miraculous,' she thought bitterly to herself for a moment. However, the sudden urge to prove oneself had Chloé sitting bolt upright in an instant with an idea.

"Chloé?" Sabrina looked at the blonde with alarm, "are you ok?"

Chloé scoffed, remembering herself. "Yes! Why do you keep asking that?"

Sabrina winced and went back to taking notes while Chloé, chiding herself for the treatment of her best friend, looked back at her phone.

Chloé: I hope he wipes the smirk off her face!


The lunch bell rang and students flooded the corridors. Some went home for lunch, some ate in the dining hall, but one student in particular left the building and returned in superhero attire.

Giving the teacher a flimsy excuse for leaving early, Adrien made sure he was able to catch the class leaving the room. The plan him and Nino had concocted depended on it, he was hoping this would put a stop to Lila and her lies being believed once and for all.

Spotting his girlfriend in the crowd of her peers, he dramatically dropped from his rooftop perch, completing several somersaults in mid air for good measure. Landing gracefully, he pulled her in for a breath taking kiss, taking her by surprise earning a squeak for is efforts, before she relaxed into him. Her hands splayed on his chest, his hands clutching the small of her back, they were flush against each other, right under the nose of a certain furious Italian.

Nino arrived at the scene with Chloé and Sabrina in tow, just in time to see Lila collapse in an overly dramatic emotional mess. Sobs sounding out on cue from her poisonous mouth.

"Chat!" She whined between sobs. "Ho-how could...you?!"

Chat dipped a blissfully happy Marinette backwards for added intensity, causing her to clutch tightly to his upper arms for support as her legs turned to mush, showing off her beautiful ring perfectly. The affection he poured into that one encounter, filled her with emotion as she matched his desperation to portray her feelings for him.

"...I can't...cant believe you!" Lila continued to put on the performance of her life, as students and teachers congregated around the display. "You...you are MY-"

Marinette broke off the kiss turning to face Lila, Chat still supporting her back as he nuzzled into her neck. "What Lila? Your what?" An anger no one had ever seen in Marinette's eyes reigned down on Lila with the raven haired girl's intense stare.

Chat stood her up straight, putting an arm around his girlfriend's shoulders, waiting for Lila to start functioning again. The people watching could only guess what was going on in Lila's mind, as her open mouth and blank stare gave away little more than shock.

Mr Damocles moved forward to intervene, but a hand with perfectly manicured nails stopped the incompetent headteacher. Chloé warned: "If you stop this now after allowing Lila to bully Marinette so blatantly, my daddy will have your job before you can say severance pay."

Lila rebooted with a shake of her head as she schooled her face back to dejected damsel. "Chat you're my boyfriend," hands held out, palms up, pleading with the black cladded hero, she played the part well.

"And how long has he been your boyfriend for Lila?" Alya joined the public discussion earning brief daggers from Lila. "Because your story has changed twice already today," Alya cocked her hip as she crossed her arms, eyeing the liar skeptically.

"You're meant to be my friend Alya-"

"Funny thing about friends Lila," Alya cut her off, "friends don't lie to each other."

Marinette felt a weight in her stomach as Chloé glanced at her momentarily before airily claiming, "unless they have good reason to."

"Like to keep their boyfriend safe," offered Kim with a nod at Marinette.

"Which is what Marinette did by not telling anyone," affirmed Max, pointing his finger knowingly in the air.

"He is MY boyfriend!" Exclaimed Lila determinedly while she stomped her foot childishly.

"No Lila, I am not." Chat firmly stated while all eyes rested on him. "I. Am. Not. Yours." Wrapping his arms around Marinette, he rested his forehead on hers while they locked eyes blushing profusely. "I only have eyes for one lady, and she is right here." Planting another kiss on her swollen pink lips, the crowd around them cheered them on enthusiastically.

"AGHHH!" Lila fumed, red faced and angry. "I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU-YOU HORRID LITTLE WITCH!" Launching herself at a startled Marinette, the Italian was pulled into the air by a solemn Ivan. Dangling helplessly by her waistband in mid air, her arms and legs flailed unsuccessfully while whispers swarmed around the gathering.

"What else have you lied about Lila?" Nino asked tilting his head seriously and folding his arms.

"Jagged Stone never had a kitten."

All eyes turned to focus on Juleka, who stood defiantly under Lila's icy stare. "He has also never written a song about a fifteen year old girl or one called Lila for that matter."

"Whatever," Lila spat from her suspended position. Catching the purple butterfly heading her way in the corner of her eye, she smirked waiting for it to land.

"CATACLYSM!" Chat caught the evil entity and disintegrated it before it had chance to fullfill its purpose.

Lila stared seething, anger oozing out of her being.

Chloé approached the beet red Italian with a smirk on her face. "Don't be bitter Lila, it leads to Botox," flicking her hair she added: "By the way, don't think that you can set your sights on my Adrikins now Chat is out of the picture," the blonde turned shooting Marinette and Chat a quick knowing smirk before coyly looking back over her shoulder. "He's dating his own, Bugaboo."

Feeling satisfied, Chloé sauntered off with Sabrina following at her heel, "that was amazing Chloé!"

"Of course it was," she snapped back before softening her expression, "thank you Sabrina, for everything."

Sabrina squeaked in response and the two disappeared, leaving the rest of the group to witness Lila being dropped unceremoniously on all fours. "You're going to regret this!" She spat.

"I believe we have a Malfoy wannabe on our hands," Marinette chuckled quietly so only Chat could hear over the ruckus which ensued.

He gave her an affectionate squeeze as Lila made her escape under the gaze of her pissed off peers. "We could make Hawkmoth into Voldemort and have our very own Hogwarts!" He mused quietly back.

As her friends approached her with multiple apologies, Chats warm breath tickled her neck when he leant down to whisper in her ear: "so Adrien is dating his own Bugaboo is he?" He teased, the smirk clearly audible in his voice.

Leaning into him she sighed keeping her own voice low, "you've always been my Kitty." She dinged his bell while he held onto her waist tightly before extending his baton and sending them out of their group of friends and onto the rooftop of the school.

Their friends smiling as they disappeared from sight, Mr Damocles cleared his throat with little authority. "Would anyone like to tell me what in the blazers has just happened!"

Nino and Alya stepped forward, the latter speaking for the both of them while their classmates started their comparisons of Lila's tales. "We can explain Mr Damocles."


I was waiting to have my device back before posting this as it was already mostly written, but this came to me today and *poof* here it is!

Thank you for the reviews, follows and faves, they really do brighten my day.
