Lila:oh, a seat in the front row! You all remembered my hearing issue! You're such sweethearts, all of you. Lila blows kisses. Alya and Nino:what?
Marinette:you have a hearing problem, Lila?
Lila:yes, I suffer from tinnitus, a constant ringing in my left ear. I'd had it ever since the sound of an airplane engine burst my eardrum on the runaway when I was saving Jagged Stone's lost kitten.
Marinette:but........isn't Jagged Stone's pet a crocodile? Lila:now it is, yes. But he had a kitten until he found out he was allergic to it. The best part is, since you're such an excellent student Adrien, you'll be able to help me catch up with all the schoolwork I missed while I was traveling with my parents. Would you do that for me? Adrien:uh........ Adrien looks at Marinette. Adrien:I'm sorry, Lila but my girlfriend is sitting next to me today. Lila looks at Marinette. Lila:oh, her. The mean girl. Marinette growls at Lila. Marinette:you want mean? Well, I'll give you mean! Alya:Marinette! The old Marinette isn't here right now, remember? Marinette:right, yes. I'm the new Marinette. Not the old Marinette. Alya:that's right. Marinette sits next to Adrien. Lila sighs in annoyance. 16 minutes later, Marinette, Adrien, Chloe, Alya and Nino are grabbing food, Lila is sitting at a table full of food with the rest of the class around her. Sabrina:that's for you, Lila. Lila:thank you, you're so sweet. Max:here's your appetizer, Lila. Mylène:I've got your main course.
Kim:I'll fetch your dessert. Lila:I'm sorry I can't carry my own tray. It's almost impossible with this sprained wrist. Kim reaches for a plate between Marinette and Alya. Kim:sorry. Alya:Lila's totally lying, she made up that whole tinnitus story just so she could sit next to Adrien and probably make Marinette go back to her old ways, and her sprained wrist's completely bogus, too. Chloe:I don't get it, Alya. You barely know Lila. Why all the hate?
Alya:fine, I'll tell you everything. Alya takes Chloe, Adrien, Marinette and Nino to a seperate table away from the others and sits down across from them. Alya:you remember Lila when she first came to school? She was only here for one day and then she left on that around-the-world trip. Everyone was captivated by her. Something just felt off to me. So I followed her. Adrien and Chloe and Marinette and Nino:what? Alya:she lies with every breath. Adrien:wait, you eavesdropped on me and Lila?
Chloe:a good reporter always verifies her sources. Can you prove she doesn't actually know Ladybug?
Alya:I...uh......I.............okay you want proof she's lying? Hey Lila, you forgot your napkin. Alya throws a napkin at Lila and she catches it with her right and supposedly sprained hand. Alya:ha! See that? It's obvious she doesn't have a sprained wrist. The class gasps and stares at Lila. She drops the napkin. Lila:uh, ow! Once when I was in India, I witnessed someone getting their eye gouged out by the corner of a napkin. If I hadn't caught it, this napkin could've injured Max. I didn't have a choice. Ow! Max:Lila, you saved my eye! You sacrificed yourself for me. Lila:why wouldn't I, Max? Ouch. You're my friend. Sabrina:we'll take you to the nurse's office.
Mylène looks at Alya. Mylène:are you proud of yourself? Kim:Lila's in even more pain now, all because of you. Lila:no, no, don't blame Alya. She was just trying to give me a napkin. Right, Alya? Nino:if Alya says that Lila's lying, then I guess I believe her.
