By the end of the day, it was very obvious that Marinette and Alya did not like you. You had barely been at the school for a day. Why didn't they like you?   

After your last class, you decided to go find them and talk to them. While I was searching, I ran into Lila. 

"Oh hey! I was hoping to run into you. I hate to ask, but do you mind giving me a ride home? My mom can not pick me up because she is terribly sick at home," Her face turned dark as she looked at her feet. 

"Of course! I just need to go find some people before we leave-" 

"Who?" She demanded. 

"Marinette and Alya. They have been acting so strange around me" 

"Hm, Okay. Marinette is not really nice, so let me go with you! I know their last period." She pointed to a classroom about 100 feet away, and the two of you walked over just as Marinette and Alya walked out. 

"Hey! Marinette and Alya- Right?" For some reason, you extremely nervous. The only time that someone had an issue with you was when you were in the US. That was the worst place you had ever been, but thankfully it was not long before your father got moved again. 

Alya was the first to speak, "Yep. I am Alya and this is Marinette." 

"Uh good, I noticed during class that you did not really seem to like me. Why?" You glanced behind you at Lila again and she gave you an encouraging smile. 

Alya and Marinette gave each other startled looks and quickly spat out, "No reason! We are just nervous around people we don't know! You are Y/N, right? Well, nice meeting you! Bye!" They gave Lila a stern look before heading towards the exit. 

"I don't think they like me any more than they did before, possibly even worse," I sighed looking up at Lila. 

"Oh please, once they see how awesome you are they will TOTALLY grow to like you." 

"You think?"

She nodded her head vigorously before she lit up again, "We should get going. Don't want to make your parents wait!" As soon as you walk out the door you saw my parents. When they saw Lila, their smile grew. 

"Hello, honey, and who is this?" They say trying to control their happiness.

"Oh, I am Lila. I share my homeroom class with Y/N," She smiled at them, making them melt with happiness again.

"She needs a ride home," You chime in. 

The rest of the car ride consists of her giving instructions to your parents until you reached her apartment. 

After waving goodbye, your parents turned to you and informed you of their situation. 

"We apologize but since we took your friend home, we don't have time to take you home. We need to go back to work. Can you walk home?" 

After checking your phone, you agreed. 

When you walked halfway home, you notice Ladybug and Chat Noir swinging from building to building. When your eyes go back to the ground, a new figure is standing there. She is carrying a rope and is wearing a skintight black suit with a large T on the front. Before you can say anything, she throws the rope at you, making you fall to your knees. You try to get up, but then realize that the rope has magically tied you up. 

"Do you like Ladybug?" She asks, demanding an answer. 

"I am indifferent about Ladybug," you say immediately. Your voice is monotone and you gasp when you realize what you had just said. You didn't even try to say anything, but you said it. It was like she was forcing you to speak what you thought. Ladybug swung by cutting the ropes from your body, and you quickly stood up relieved that you were free. 

"Ladybug! She can't get ahold of you- if she does its game over!" I shouted at her. If the supervillain managed to tie up Ladybug, she would just need to ask what her identity was and Paris would be doomed! 

Ladybug nodded as if she was understanding my point, "Will you be okay to hold off Truthor for a bit? I need to get Viperion!" So Truthor was her name... 

"Of course M'Lady! Just don't take too long." Many minutes passed and Ladybug still had not come back yet. It was obvious that Chat Noir was beginning to struggle to avoid the rope from wrapping him up. 

My eyes scanned my surroundings hoping to find something that I could use to distract Truthor to spare Chat Noir some time. 

"Of course! The bakery downstairs had a beginning of the school year party, with any luck they might have strobe lights that can distract her!" I raced downstairs and ripped the strobe lights of the walls, flipping the switch on. The lights began the flicker and they seemed strong enough to cause a distraction. 

When you run back up, you find Chat Noir wrapped up in her rope. 

"Cataclysm!" With a touch of his hand, the rope dissolved into ashes on the floor. 

"Cat Noir are you all good?" You turn around to find Ladybug and Viperion standing behind you exhausted. "Sorry it took so long, we ran into some reporters." 

You glance down at the strobe lights that you had gotten a few minutes before and sigh knowing that you won't need them anymore. 

Viperion approached me, "You should go home. We have this under control," You nod and begin your descent down the stairs, but you had no intention of leaving. You stop just short of the edge of the stairs, and kneel down, to watch the action. While you could never remember when Viperion would go back in time, it always became apparent because Viperion would whisper something to the group. After this happened multiple times Truthor suddenly got ahold of Viperion in a way where he couldn't go back in time. 

"Lucky Charm!" A small-needle looking item dropped into her hand. "A lock pick? But there are no locks on these chains?" She gasped as she realized that Viperion was about to have his miraculous taken. 

"Hey!" I stood up and shined the lights straight at her, causing her to drop Viperion in order to cover her eyes. As soon as he smacked the floor, Ladybug and Cat Noir rushed over to untie him. She was unable to see anything until the lights suddenly went out. 

"What happened?" Chat Noir looked over and gives me a puzzled look. 

"The bulbs are burnt out. I'm sorry I don't know what else I can do." Right when I finished speaking, Truthor looks at you and you felt your arms clasp to the sides. 

"Wait, Lila? Is that you?" I stuttered. I never noticed how similar the bone structure of Lila and Truthor is. 

"There is no more Lila! There is only Truthor! No one can lie to me again!" 

"What? Lila, it's me, Y/N, your friend!" 

"You thought I was your friend? No way! I was only friends with you because you were new and I could make Marinette hate you!" Your legs begin to feel heavy as you collapse onto the floor. 

You always thought that you were friends with Lila... She was... using you?
