Alya slipped out of her room and stopped at her sister's room, opening the door and looking it, smiling as she saw them sleep as she looked into the room. I am never letting those two hang around Lila if I can ever again, I mean I trust her to look after them and she probably told them nothing but lies about herself. And I can't believe that Adrien thought we wouldn't believe him, but I can see why he was thinking that. I let both of them down and I let my sisters down! Her thoughtsdied as she felt a hand on her shoulder that caused her to turn to Nora's smiling face and she sighed, now or never.

"Come sis, it won't be that bad." Nora said as Alya smiled and sighed.

"I dropped the ball so bad sis, so bad." Alya said as she walked towards the kitchen, keeping her hand closed as she walked, mentally preparing to exposed everything that she hadn't done, sure that her parents would be ashamed of her. As she came into the room she saw her father Otis seating at the table as her mother Marlena put the last of the leftovers away in the fridge and Alya coughed and they both looked up at her and Nora.

"So what's wrong Alya?" Otis asked as Alya and Nora sat down at the table as Marlena walked over and sat down next to him. No one noticed Alya slipped something onto the underside of the table and Alya took a deep breath before she started.

"I messed up, I… to start with about two days ago a liar that I trusted framed and got Marinette expelled." Alya began and Otis looked shocked as Marlena gasped as Nora scowled.

"Marinette, your friend Marinette? Why?" Marlena asked and Alya looked down. "Alya?"

"They found the answer sheet for a practice test in her bag, then the liar said that Marinette pushed her down the stairs while they were walking to the principal's office and then a necklace belonging to the liar was in Marinette's locker." Alya said as

"Wait the lockers, but they don't have locks! And why didn't the teacher see what happened when she was 'pushed'?" Otis demanded as he stood up from the chair, a scowl on his face and Alya looked away.

"She stayed in the class room, they were alone when they went to the principal's office. Then the lieing bitch took us to our locker room and her necklace was in Marinette's locker."

"She, the liar just walked after falling down the stairs to the courtyard? After a fall like that you'd get some wounds. And the nurse just let her?" Nora asked with a growl and Alya looked shocked before she started to look sick. "What is it sis?"

"Lila didn't even go to the nurse's office, she just led us to Marinette's locker." Alya said and at this Marlena gasped.

"Wait, don't your lockers not have locks!" Marlena said and Otis looked shocked.

"They what?! What kind of school is this?!" Otis demanded and Alya looked down. "Alya?"

"That's not the worst of it. I missed it when I investigated the school… about five years ago a student almost drove another student to take their own life." Alya said and her parents paled as Nora started to growl.

"How the heck did you miss that Alya?!" Nora asked angerly and Alya looked down and Nora winced. "Sorry sis, I mean…"

"It was kept quiet, I….. it was part of a settlement to spare the school and to try and make it better." Alya said and looked up at her parents. "My friends…..Marinette's family is going to sue the school about this, how he said she was expelled and well everything, there's going to be an expulsion hearing last I heard and no matter how it came out she's…They were talking about going homeschool definitely."

"And you want to join them Alya?" Marlena asked as she reached over and grabbed her husband's hands as he looked thoughtful.

"Homeschooling? Are you sure about it little sis?" Nora asked and Alya nodded.

"The way they were talking, they might close the school to go over everything and if that happens well they might send us off to any-school in the city no matter what we want or what kind of school it is, this way we'll be ahead of the curve and all." Alya said with a nod. "I'm setting up a private blog so that the other students can look over all the programs tomorrow."

"You're setting up the blog because you want to make up for not believe Marinette right sis?" Nora cut in, causing their parents to look from her to Alya as they tried to understand what Nora had said.

"Not believe her her…why?" Marlena asked and Alya looked down ashamed.

"I thought it was like what happened with Daisy and me mom; I just saw what I did in her actions." Alya said and Otis looked at his daughter and released a sigh as Nora shook her head.

"Oh Alya." Otis said with a look of self-hatred that almost broke Alya's heart.

"Dad, it wasn't your fault. And you were right about me and Daisy." Alya said as she looked at him with a smile.

"Sis, you gotta let it go. The way it came out, the both of you were having a bad day and you acted like that for about a month before dad talked to you." Nora said as she smirked. "And he only knew what to say to you because he had a bad first encounter too right?"

"Okay, I'll admit to that. But homeschooling… how are we going to not have the twins know about it?" Otis said and then he chuckled at Alya's confused expression. "What, are you thinking that they'll not have problems with them doing it too?"

"Fair point… Alya are you going to the hearing?" Marlena asked and Alya nodded. "Then Nora will be going with you, she'll ask for a copy of the minutes so the two of us can look it over and then we'll talk about it, how the other hand how about looking into school around here that might be a good place to transfer to."

"Okay, okay." Alya said and sighed. Nora walked over and hugged her. "Sis?"

"Look Alya you made a call based on what happened to you. Yeah it was the wrong call but everything that you knew said it was the right one to make." Nora said as she drew away. "This isn't gonna be the last time, and that you know it was the wrong call will help you a lot latter in life, trust me."

"Thanks." Alya said as her parents got up and hugged her as well.

"So, homework done, anything else that you need to do to get ready for tomorrow, anything we can do to help out?" Otis asked and Alya looked down and thought about it for a few seconds.

"First, I need to talk to someone without Lila knowing, Nora can you watch the twins tomorrow, I need to track down a few people." Alya said and Nora nodded.

"Sure little sis, I'll be glad to, but I've got something I need to do on Sunday." Nora said and she shared a look with her parents. "You head off to bed, I'll be on twin patrol tomorrow."

"Thanks sis, I think I take a shower and hit the sack, is that okay?" Alya said and the other three stayed where they were until they heard the shower being turned on.

"You're going to talk to Marinette about this, aren't you? And nothing we say will stop you right?" Otis asked and Nora nodded.

"Yep." Nora said and Marlena sighed.

"Make sure you grab some of their cookies when you leave then, need some money for that?" Marlena asked and Nora shook her head.

"Why talk to her?" Otis asked and Nora sighed.

"I think there might be something off with the story Alya told us, that she left something out on purpose." Nora said with a shake of her head. "I figured that the little girl won't."

"She is honest." Otis said as he got up, never noticing a microphone on the underside of the table that Alya had slipped there when no one had noticed.

As Alya got into the shower she removed an earbud as she turned off an app on her phone. So glad I got that tech piece form Max, glad I commissioned it from him. I gota send a message to Marinette about this, I mean I can't not tell her, I mean I never told them about the 'Akuma Attack' attack that fizzled out, nothing happened and the butterfly never even got me! But if Lila is working with Hawkmoth then I don't know why she didn't try and grab one during…..because if anyone of us saw it then she would have been exposed! That lying rat, I will do everything that I can to take her down! Alya thought as she gritted her teeth and finished undressing before she got into the shower and let the water flow over her. "Something else to deal with latter."

Later on as she walked into her room drying off her hair she grabbed her phone and got onto her bed before she activated a texting App.

Reporterox; Hey girl able to talk or are you talking with your guest?

BakeDesign; Alya! It's not like that!

Reporterox; Sure it's not, not yet anyway. Anyhow, my sis is going to come over on Sunday, I told them about the liar but not the swarm.

BakeDesign; You didn't you tell them about the red bugs that attacked?

Reporterox; No….. I should have but I don't want them to worry to much, say do you know where the weather girls will be tomorrow?

BakeDesign; Alya. Fine I'll try and not say anything, I can keep secrets you know. And I think Nadia said she saw them at the station sometimes on the weekends before lunch once.

"Don't I know it girl, don't I know it." Alya said with a smirk as she typed another replay.

Reporterox; Yeah, I know you can girl. I guess I don't want to make more waves now then we need, I mean my dad when he gets bit by bugs is one thing but my mom, let's just say Nora inherited her temper.

BakeDesign; Ouch.

Reporterox; Don't get me wrong, we've all got problems but well, mom once turned the air blue when someone insulted dad.

BakeDesign; Okay I would do the same thing if someone insulted my mother or father.

Reporterox; Yeah, well tomorrow I'm planning to talk to Aurora about what you told me, find a way to get the information you got me to the others in the school.

BakeDesign; Make sure that you do it safely, if Lila figures out anything that might then you'll be her next target.

Alya looked at the text and a tear escaped from her eyes and she shook her head. After everything that happened you're still putting others ahead of yourself, girl you are too good for this world. And that bitch is going to be driven out of here on a rail if I have anything to

Reporterox; Don't worry, Lila said she'll be gone for the weekend so I'll head to the station early to talk to Aurora.

BakeDesign; Good, I've gotten in contact with him and he wants to meet you all tomorrow so after lunch then, you see Manon is coming over tomorrow for me to watch so we'll have to go see him after I let her go, so after lunch if nothing happens.

Alya went still and released a deep breath and looked around her room before smiling that at least she might say goodbye to Trixx. This is bigger than you Alya, this is about Paris. The best thing that could happen is that Mari and Adrien can keep theirs and keep fighting Hawkbutt, if I have to loose Trixx then so be it. Alya thought as she got her emotions back under control.

Reporterox; Good girl, then I'll talk to Aurora and swing around to help with Manon after, maybe a play date at the park before she's picked up… no the twins are staying home for the day…. Long story okay and I don't want to talk about. So I'll see you tomorrow and tell you about it all, have a nice night because I'm sure my dad will be here any minute.

"Lights out Alya! You've got a big day tomorrow so make sure you have a good sleep!" Otis said from the other side of her door and Alya looked up from her bed and smiled and sent off one last text as she got under her covers.

Reporterox; he just gave me the bell, see you.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Max sighed as he put away his dishes and finished cleaning up his dinner as he looked around his home as Markov recharged behind him. I can't believe that I was so wrong about them. I'm usually better but then that napkin thing was proof that I don't always think things through. Max thought as he finished.

"Come on Max, I mean you couldn't have known. With all the data it stood to reason that we were right." Markov said and Max sighed as he walked out of the kitchen towards the living room as Markov took off and flew after him. "You can't blame yourself too much."

"I know Markov, but I guess with what happened I was too sure of what we found to think we were wrong. That's a problem I have I guess." Max sighed and shook his head. "But what really gets me is what they told us about the school."

"I suppose that the Principal wanted to protect the school's reputation. But you would think that they would have tried to keep that from happening again." Markov said and Max sighed as he sat down and grabbed a controller as he turned the tv and game system on, quickly starting one of his creations.

"I guess… but still." Max said as he leaned back against the couch and sighed.

"I believe this is another reason your mother said that you need to talk to people more Max, at least Chloe wasn't involved." Markov said and Max looked at his robot as he hovered there. "I predict that she would have, what's the term, blogged about it right away."

"Maybe not right away, but maybe." Max said with a laugh. I mean, maybe the old Chloe. She has become a lot better, but then I did see her mother and I can guess where how she acted came from but man, I don't know who's at fault. I never thought the fact that my father is dead would be a good thing, I can only know him from the stories mom told me, I can never know if how he would thing about how I'm more brains then brawn. Max thought as he called up a save file. "I think maybe she's trying to be a better person, but I can kind of see where and why Chloe became who she is."

"That is still beyond me Max, I am getting closer to that level of thinking is still beyond me." Markov said with a sad 'face' and Max smiled at him as he paused his game.

"I know you are Markov, that's something else I'm proud about you, and then there's the face that you showed the inactive to investigate Lila on your own, I'm so happy." Max said and Markov 'blushed'.

"From the interactions with Marinette I knew that she wouldn't do something so out of character. I first went through the easiest thing I could figure out, Lila's fall. I calculated with a seventy percent chance that Marinette tripped is the only reason Lila could have been pushed at all, but even that is suspect because of how Lila was able to walk away with the supposed fall." Markov said and then hovered to the left. "Of course then there is the necklace found in Marinette's locker, that was very suspect, how could Lila have known the stolen necklace was there? How could Marinette have known about it since Lila never mentioned it before?"

"A few things to mention to Marinette when I talk to her then." Max managed as he realized all the unanswered questions that the principle hadn't even thought of because of the chaos of the event. "I can't believe we missed all that!"

"Don't be too sad Max, nobody notice it even me; it was only after I looked over my files did I think of those questions." Markov said and Max looked at him and his mouth dropped open in total shock. "Max?"

"Why didn't the principle or Miss. Buister call for the nurse, why didn't she come?" Max asked shakily and Markov looked at him and a question mark appeared on his face as he landed, a sign that he was trying to find out the answer in his data banks.

"I don't know…. I can't create a possible idea." Markov said and Max went still as he thought of one reason but there was no way. "Max?"

"Nothing Markov, I just can't think of anything myself." Max said before a ringing came from the phone. "Markov?"

"There's a video call coming in Max, shall I put it on the tv?" Markov asked and Max nodded.

"Do it Markov." Max said as he put down his controller. A few moments later a woman with dark skin, brown eyes and short brown hair a low bun wearing a orange uniform with a patch of a moon before a yellow star.

"Mom! You're back on earth already?" Max asked with a smile

"Hey baby, Markov how are you two?" Claudie asked as she stood before a camera with

"Quite fine Claudie, a few problems here and there but everything is fine." Markov said and Max looked at him as his mother gasped.

"Are they serious Max?" Claudie asked and Max looked at Max and then sighed.

"When are you able to come home?" Max asked and Claudie looked at him and he hoped that she didn't read into more then he wanted as he tried to keep his face expressionless.

"I should be home in a few days but if you need me to come I could see if I can get bumped up." Claudie said and Max shook his head. "Are you sure Max?"

"No mom, it can stay as it is for now. When you get back we will have to talk but what happened didn't happen to me." Max said with a smile and she looked at and sighed.

"Okay, okay I'll still try and get my post mission work done first, but I will let it take the normal course." Claudie said and looked at them with a smile. "So anything else, any new Akuma's that push the understanding of science?"

"The last one was yesterday, I think it was someone who either loved dogs or worked with them, he could control dogs and rode a giant one." Max said and Claudie looked at him and shook her head as an old horror that he knew all too well came over her.

"You were safe right Max?" Claudie asked and Max grinned

"When the attack started I was in my room, and I he didn't come over here at all, I think he might have been defeated near the stadium according to what Chloe posted." Max said and Claudie looked at him and sighed.

"With what's happening in Paris that's the best that I can expect then. I'll be back in a few days and we'll talk about everything then."

"Thanks mom, be safe and have a good day." Max said and Claudie laughed a little.

"Have a great night's sleep baby." Claudie said as she closed the video chat. Max smiled and got back to his game was soon lost in the action.

"That was better than I predicted Max, I was sure she would have tried to get here faster." Markov said and Max nodded.

"Mom promised me that if I said it was okay, she'd not rush home. And this way I have a few days to look over the data and give a good presentation to her about it." Max said with a smile. This is perfect, this way I don't have to bother mom on the station and we can talk about what I learned and then work from there! I just hope that those programs that Chloe found for Marinette are right for all of us. I know mom fought against me doing that before but after what happened this might be for the best. Max thought as he played his game, his mind trying to relax when a beeping from his phone caused him to look down and saw a message from Marinette. "This is perfect, Marinette is going to take me to

"I think I'll stay home Max, if someone hacks into me then Hawkmoth could have the other Miraculous!" Markov said as he hovered around the room. "One stray Akuma and he'll know!"

"Then I guess we'll have to work on your security programs Markov." Max said before a bit of music from the tv caused him to frown. "After tomorrow."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Nathalie walked into the mansion and stopped before Gabriel's office, sighing as she did so. He's not going to like this at all. But the plan I made is the best thing for everyone involved. She thought as she gathered her courage to knock on the door when a voice came from within.

"Come in Nathalie." Gabriel said from within the office and Nathalie swallowed and opened the door. "Have you found my son?"

"I think so, after checking his friend Nino's place I then went to the next likely place he could be, the Hotel." Nathalie said as she looked at Gabriel as he sat behind his desk looking at his computer. "Once there I found evidence that isn't a definite it is the best lead we have."

"And what did you find that told you that?" Gabriel asked and Nathalie smirked a little.

"I overheard the Bourgeois girl talking to a staffer about a special guest, something about how he hasn't had to leave the suite." Nathalie said with a small smile. "Given how she feels about him I'm positive that he's there."

"Good, once you can talk to him about this then it can all be fixed." Gabriel said as he looked up and frowned at something before nodding. "Yes, that should work."

"What should?" Nathalie asked and Gabriel smirked a little.

"The secondary Lila problem. I've scheduled a shoot for her tomorrow while you were gone, got back a reply and have just received another report from a special photographer who will be covering the shoot." Gabriel said with a smirk that caused Nathalie to raise an eyebrow.

"And with everything that's happening you think pandering to Lila is a good idea?"

"With this photographer, yes. She will give me a perfect report on just what kind of model Lila is." Gabriel said and looked down with a smile at another email that he opened and read the contests of. "And he's gotten to the last school she's been in, I should have a very revealing report on her by sometime in the next few days."

"When did you send an investigator to look into Lila?"

"After she was in the mansion the first time Miss Nathalie." A voice form above caused Nathalie to look up and see Nooro hovering there with a scared look on its face. "I begged Master to do that, she doesn't feel right."

Nathalie looked at Nooroo for a few moments before turning to Gabriel with a frown. "And you decicded to work with her after an empath told you she wasn't right?"

"Again yes, but if it had worked out perfectly then we would have finally had what we. Why the Dunpain girl alone might have won us the day!" Gabriel said with a scowl. "But of course that girl Lila couldn't even do that right!"

"The mass attack didn't fail because of her, it was because I was week." Nathalie said and Gabriel sighed and shook his head.

"She planned the expulsion with my help, but it was her idea. We just tried to make it…larger." Gabriel said as he looked up. "Perhaps the next attack should be someone with a grudge against the Bourgeois, someone who will cause enough chaos that it will let you get to the floor he's on and get him out. If you can talk to him about it, then maybe this nightmare will end without too much damage."

"What about Lila?" Nathalie asked and Gabriel smirked.

"I expect that I will have all I need to fire her within the next few days. I will of course have to explain to Adrien why I did it… I plan on telling him that I did it because I didn't trust both Adrien and the school to tell me about what has happened there." Gabriel said and Nathalie looked down at her tablet before looking up at Gabriel.

"Are you sure that's a good thing Gabriel?" Nathalie asked and Gabriel looked up before looking down and sighing.

"No, it's not. But that is the only way I can go and still have a chance not to destroy my relationship with my son. And when will she get back from those negotations with our overseas distributers?" Gabriel asked and Nathalie looked confused before she realized who he ment.

"Oh, her? A few days if the airport does their jobs right." Nathalie said as she looked up

"Good, once she's here I want her to talk about the lawsuit about Adrien. I want her to go over everything that the courier gave to us." Gabriel said and sighed and looked down. "Nothing is going to be the same no matter what happens, will it?"

"No, I'm sorry Gabriel but I have said before you need to make more time with him." Nathalie said and Gabriel sighed and shook his head. "Gabriel."

"My Miraculous gave me empathic abilities that I haven't been able to turn off, even working here I still get traces of Adrien's feelings about her absences and it magnifies my own. The way I've been has been the only way I was able to stay partly sane and still be able to function." Gabriel reminded Nathalie who looked down. "And remember what happened when you used it? You were unconscious for the entire day when they overwhelmed you."

"I know, I remember Gabriel. But there had to be a better way to do this that didn't sacrifice your relationship with him." Nathalie said going over an old argument and Gabriel sighed and Nooroo floated lower, a look of sadness on his face.

"I'm sorry master, but all my holders always have had this problem with others emotions when others have feelings based around the same pain." Nooroo confessed and Nathalie looked at Gabriel who only looked down, this old argument the three of them had was something that had been said many times during his campaign as Hawkmoth.

"On another note, the Pack Leader was something else sir. Shale I put it into the possible returns file?" Nathalie asked and Gabriel looked up at her and sighed before nodding. "Of course sir."

"Oh, make sure you that you are notified the moment the paperwork about Miss Dupain-Cheng is underway, if the Lila situation is brought up I will of course deny everything. The modeling contract was just to get Lila help in keeping an eye on Adrien, a mistake that I am paying for." Gabriel said and turned to look at his wife's portrait. I know that you will hate what I have become, but I only did this to get you back, once Adrien knows why I did this he will understand, I'm sure of it! I know it will take a long time to heal what I've done, but I know we can fix this! Gabriel thought as he looked away from Nathalie as she shared a look of long suffering with Nooroo.

"Of course sir….. but could he have gone to her house to hide?" Nathalie said and Gabriel shook his head as he understood what she was saying.

"No, from what I know she's just a school mate that is friends with that Nino boy's girlfriend, beside being classmates they have no interactions." Gabriel said and looked at her and held up a hand. "The reason that Adrien did that to Lila is because she was used by Lila because of something about him, no more than that, from what Chloe has said the two girls aren't friends, Adrien would not risk his oldest friendship by befriending her."

"I will look into the school; something is bothering me about what has happened." Nathalie said and looked at Gabriel. "If this plan fails and we can't find him before Miss Dupain-Cheng hearing I'll head there, if she has one then I'll head there and take away a copy of the minutes."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Alya walked out of her building and sighed. At least I was able to slip out before they woke up, now Aurora should be at the station so all I need to do is head there and my Ladyblog should let me into the station and talk to her, I hope. Alya thought as she walked through Paris, keeping an eye out for any sigh of Lila. For this to work she had to make it to the station without Lila having seen her, and given that she had said that she would be taking a weekend trip to help out a charity auction she had to hope that meant that Lila would be staying in, but given that she didn't know where Lila lived she had to keep on her toes, she couldn't mess this up.

As she moved through the streets she kept an eye out for anything that might hide Lila the false fox and within moments she had left the area and got on a bus, never noticing that Sabrine and her dad had been driving by, nor that Sabrina had noticed Alya.

"So you want to be homeschooled Sabrina?" Rodger asked and Sabrina tore her eyes away from the bus and nodded at her father. "If something's wrong with the class you can always transfer."

"It's more that I discovered something about the school itself dad, its bad." Sabrina said and sighed. This is so not the place for the conversation but dad had to pull a late night and then this time was the earliest we could talk. And I don't want to talk while we're moving. Sabrina kept an eye out and notice that they were almost to the Seine where Chloe was waiting for her. "It's complicated and I'd rather we not talk about it in a moving car."

"That bad then?" Rodger asked and cursed himself when he saw Sabrina nod. "Okay, then lets talk about it tonight when I get home, but what sparked you finding out about it?"

Sabrina stayed silent until Rodger stopped the car and she looked at him with a hard stare before replying. "Marinette was framed and expelled."

Before Rodger could react Sabrina got out and ran towards Chloe and the two walked off, Rodger staying still for a few more moemnts before he drove off, a scowl on his face from what he was told.

Sabrina walked on and kept her face blank and Chloe looked at her before sighing. "So you just told him about what happened?"

"Just the results, not the nitty gritty Chloe, he stayed out late." Sabrina said and Chloe sighed.

"Once the report crosses Daddy's desk I'm homeschooled no matter what, the only thing I can hope for is that I'll be pick the program." Chloe said as they started to hear music that grew louder as they walked closer to it. "Sometimes I don't know if being a mega bitch is worth it."

"I know why you'll the way you are, you might not think like a lot of people our age but the core results of it is worth it Chloe, you just need to learn to…show it more like other people." Sabrina said and Chloe sighed.

"Well, no more tears or jeers! Let's enjoy the morning and then lunch out, my treat Rina!" Chloe said and Sabrina laughed as they walked closer to the music.

Alya got off the bus outside the TVi building and took a deep breath before she prepared herself and walked in. she moved towards the front desk and smiled at the receptionist.

"Hi, I was wondering if Aurora, the Kidz weather girl came in yet today?" Alya asked and the receptionist looked at her and then at the computer.

"Yes, she and Mirelle are due to record a segment today, but they haven't made it in yet…. And there they are." The receptionist said looking over her shoulder and saw Aurora and Mirelle walk into the building talking.

"…..so I was thinking, maybe we should get some new dresses for that party next moneth from Marinette if she can slip us in. I mean I love her work and a nice dress my size…. What is it Mirelle?" Aurora trailed off at how Mirelle's face fell when she saw Alya and when Aurora turned she scowled at Alya as soon as she saw her. "Oh it's you. What do you want Alya?"

Alya winced, for the last few weeks Aurora had been a little short with her and Alya could figure out why now, she didn't believe Lila and with how Alya had put the interview on her blog she deserved it and more. "Aurora I need to talk to you, please."

"About your new friend Lila, oh she wants to broadcast her recent activities?" Aurora asked and Alya glared back.

"I wouldn't help that liar if she was on fire! This is about the school and Marinette!" Alya said forcefully and Aurora took a step back and Mirelle spoke up.

"So what happened finally made you realize she's a liar then?" Mirelle said and Aurora looked around and Alya did as well and noticed the people in the lobby were watching them and Aurora grabbed Alya's arm.

"Come on, we're a good hour early and we can talk in one of the unused dressing rooms." Aurora said as she Mirelle led the way to an elevator and soon they were going upwards. "I'm sorry what happened to Marinette was what it took to have you see the light Alya."

"Me too." Alya said and stayed quiet until they reached a room with Aurora and Mirelle's names on it. Stepping inside Mirelle grabbed a paper cup of water and gave it to Alya with a smile.

"Here, you look like you need it." Mirelle said with a smile and took a deep sip of it and smiled at her.

"Thanks, I did. I can't believe that lying bitch tricked me so bad. I can't believe that I didn't believe Marinette." Alya said and Aurora scoffed and shook her head. "What is it?"

"Look Alya….. Marinette is a great judge of character, a really great judge." Mirelle said and looked down before taking a deep breath. "A year ago she didn't like a sub, and he was caught trying to steal the proceeds of a school function."

"Yeah." Aurora said as Alya gasped. "If Marinette doesn't like someone that's a big red flag right there."

"But Chloe….. I mean she and Marinette are getting along better." Alya said and Aurora shrugged and Mirelle giggled. "What?"

"Marinette hates what Chloe does not Chloe the person." Mirelle said and shrugged. "I know it's weird but Marinette said it herself and well she's trusting her instants about people."

"That's our girl but let's not talk any more about our favorite designer and let's talk about what you want to." Aurora said and looked at Alya who sighed and looked down. "It can't be that bad."

"What if I told you that a few years ago a girl was driven to attempt suicide at our school by a bitch like Lila, that the reason more people don't know is because a deal was made that got rid of the principle who shield the bully?" Alya asked and looked up at Aurora who stared at her stormily and Mirelle who had paled in horror.

"Then I'd say that if the school did that and expelled Marinette then I wouldn't trust our current principle." Aurora said and Mirelle looked at her and Aurora sighed and shook her head. "Of course when he didn't even react to the fact what happened to Marinette, that he did, was illegal but of course he didn't."

"Yeah, Kim sent me a text about that." Alya said and then she looked at the two girls before her. "But I'm here because I got a lot of information about home schooling programs from Mari, and I knew I had to get them to the other students at school and I knew you would be the best person to go to for help with that."

A knocking at the door caused them to turn and Theo wearing a headset and with his eyes closed pocked his head in. "One hour ladies, the makeup artist will be by in about ten minutes so finish up and get ready for work!"

"Thanks Theo, see you in a bit." Aurora said and smirked as Theo left. "Good that he's still doing that think after the last staffer was fired for accidently peeping."

"Yeah. And no Alya we won't say any more about that, and don't spread it around okay?" Mirelle said and Alya nodded and looked around and threw her cup into the trash.

"Well thanks, I'll send you the address for the website I'll put the information onto and you'll get it to everyone who needs it?" Alya said as she stretched and smiled at them. "I've got to go, I promised that I'd help Mari watch Manon today."

"Nadia's whirlpool, ouch." Aurora said and even Mirelle cringed.

"Don't worry." Alya said as she left. "I've got a lot of experience keeping track of kids like her."
