HBBIC (Head Bitches & Bastard In Charge)

Day 6- Goodbye, Ladyblog. Goodbye High Road

Alya stared at her computer screen in utter disbelief. It was all gone. Everything. A year's worth of Akuma fight footage, theories on Ladybug's identity, LadyNoir pictures taken at just the right moment, and Lila's stories. And instead, there was a red screen with a black outline of a skull, laughing at her on a continuous loop. How the hell is she supposed to let everyone know that the Primaries are a dangerous gang?! If this story doesn't get out, they might hurt someone. She didn't want to believe it, but the way Marinette's been hostile lately, it's possible that she wouldn't hesitate to hurt someone. And during lunch, she saw the look in Nathaniel's eye when he confronted Alix after she tried to trip Marinette. It looked like he wanted to kill her. Chloé? She could definitely see hurting someone.

Alya knew that things have been tense lately. The class accidentally tore up Nathaniel's sketchbook, but it wasn't their fault, or Lila's! Her memory was acting up and she thought Nathaniel stole her sketches. She tried to make up for it by saying she could hook him up with a professional writer, and he got offended because to him it sounded like she was saying Marc wasn't a good writer. That boy needs to learn how to control his temper. Then Chloé and Sabrina were drifting apart, which is actually a good thing. Sabrina needs better friends who won't take advantage of her every time. Then there's Marinette. She's had it out for Lila since day one and now she's accusing innocent Lila of tearing up her design book filled with commissions. Lila's done so much for her by suggesting her to the celebrities she's designing for, and this is how Marinette repays her? She even wrote a fake note and Alya's finally had enough.

She texted the class in the group chat, excluding Marinette, Nathaniel, Chloé, and unknowingly Adrien, and told them what happened. It was mostly spent trying to console Lila and telling her she did nothing wrong. Then everyone watched as the multiple angry text messages from Alix took over their screens, going into detail about how unfair Nathaniel is being, and she was right. He knew Lila had all these medical issues and was choosing not to forgive her for a simple mistake. Soon, everyone agreed that staying away from those three would be their best option. While they were living the high life with Lila, they can all beg for forgiveness when they see that Lila was telling the truth all along. That probably won't be happening soon.

"How did this happen?" Alya tried clicking refresh for the hundredth time, but the skull remained on the screen. "Ugh!" In a huff, she grabbed her phone and stormed over to her bed. Angrily, she scrolls through her contacts and taps on Nino's number. After a few rings, he answers, "Hey babe. What happened to-"

Knowing what he was about to ask, she yelled, "I got hacked, Nino! Someone hacked the Ladyblog! Everything is gone!"

"Alys, calm down-"

"I won't!" She exclaimed. "Who would do this?!"

"Alya, you need to calm down," Nino said with a bit of warning in his voice. "Hawkmoth might send an Akuma for you."

Alya's grip on her phone tightened until she took a few breaths in and out to calm herself down. She was still furious that this happened and wanted revenge on the asshole who did this, but not as an Akuma. She took a few more breaths and said, "Okay. I'm fine. Who the hell would do this? The Ladyblog was important to so many people; why did this happen?"

"I don't know, but we'll figure out who did this, okay?"

Alya sighed, "Alright. Thanks, Nino."

"No problem. And you can still record the battles," he reminded her. "Why not post them on your Twitter until we find out what happened?"

Alya smiled at the idea. That's what she loved about this boy; he always comes up with solutions to any of her problems. "Yeah... Thanks, Nino."

"No problem. So, what were you gonna post, anyway?"
