What If Lila Was Honest

What if Lila was honest

Don’t think I’ve done this before but AU where Lila is actually telling the truth and no one believes her but Marinette. Whole class is trying to fact check everything Lila says but Lila is usually humble and values privacy so minimal information available. They keep telling Marinette she is gullible. Either ends with everyone realising Lila is being honest or she starts lying then people start befriending her and loses Marinette’s friendship

Lila: Marinette, I know you want to sit next to Adrien but is it OK if I take the seat in the front row. I just have tinnitus, usually worse in the left ear.

Marinette: That’s terrible! Of course, I can always chat with Adrien later

Lila: Thanks, but it’s not so bad as at least Jagged’s cat was safe and he wrote a song to me

Alya: That’s absurd, Jagged doesn’t have a cat

Lila: He did before but found out he was allergic

Alya: Oh yeah, what was the song?

Lila: He doesn’t name me but its Saved My Heart For it to Break

Alya: Sure he did

Marinette: Penny actually mentioned that once! You live such an exciting life

Lila shows thank you note from Jagged

Alya: ….

Alya: Obviously fake

Lila: Thanks Marinette for always helping me

Marinette: No problem, your wrist is sprained after all

Alya: Nino, she is totally being fooled by that fox! Watch this

Alya throws napkin and Lila catches it

Marinette: Good catch, is your wrist ok

Lila: Ouch, yeah, it’ll be fine. Just didn’t want it hitting you in the eye as it could cause damage

Marinette: Thanks

Alya: God she is such a liar and our Marinette is too sweet to say anything

Lila: But…that really did happen to a friend of mine. 

Lila sends Marinette the small town newspaper article about it

Lila: I’m besties with Ladybug

Alya: There is no way that is true and I’m not going to put you on the ladyblog for you to get attention (Alya storms off before Lila shows the selfie they took together)

Ladybug: Hi Lila, ready to go to lunch at the Eiffel Tower, they have an amazing oyster bar!

Adrien: Lila, look, I’m happy to be your friend but please be honest and stop telling lies

Lila: I’ve honestly never even told a lie! I’ve never even told kids that Santa is real, I just say nothing!

Adrien: Breaking kids hearts. Really Lila, I was hoping Marinette would be a positive influence on you

Lila: Ladybug put me at the top of the Eiffel Tower 

Max: What about the tinnitus?

Lila: As she knows me so well she brought me an ear plug for the right ear

Max: You said left earlier today

Lila: But I said usually the left

Lila has doctor’s note about her hearing problem that has been given to the school, including that although it’s usually worse in one ear sometimes it can affect both.

_______________________________

Lila: I’m fine to sit in the back row if you would be better at the front with Alya and Nino?

Marinette: You sure you’re ok?

Lila: I guess Ladybug turning me from oyster to human somehow fixed my hearing problem

Alya: Sure, next you’ll be saying you flew in Prince Ali’s private jet and missed so many days of school because you were travelling around the world

Lila: But I was. My mum is a diplomat

Nino: Yeah, yeah, and you know all the hollywood directors

Lila: But I do…My godfather even got a golden globe

Lila doesn’t bother showing them her new passport because the old one run out of pages or pointing out the credits of <movie> where it says ‘dedicated to my goddaughter Lila. The most honest girl I know’

Lila: This is all so ridiculous. I bet if I said I modelled for Gabriel Agreste and inspired famous paintings people would believe me

Adrien: You know my father? I thought you looked familiar. Was it fall fashion?

Nathaniel: You really have a face that would be good to paint. Is part of the exhibition currently on loan to the NGV in Australia?

Alya: What is Gabriel Agreste like to model for? Adrien is biased so I have to know

Lila: how stupid are these people and what the fuck is going on?

Guessing Volpina would then be caused by everyone calling her a liar (if they say that I might as well be that) and Chameleon would either be her protecting Marinette by grabbing it herself or after coming back to school nothing has changed and people trying harder to get break their friendship up.
