Consequences Alya, Every Action Has A Consequence

Summary: Alya did not fact check before she posted on an article on her blog like always. The outcome of this was unexpected but fully deserved.

Author's Notes: slightly inspired by Charlatans by shoryubug on ao3 premise (only by the description of the story to be honest).

It was a quick and simple article which was something Alya was unhappy with but considering that she only a night to post it before she was banned off the internet while she visited her family outside of Paris, she wanted it out. What was this big news? you ask well Lila had revealed that someone in her class was Ladybug but Lila didn't know who since they only hinted at it, so by midnight on Friday the article was online and as they left early to avoid traffic no one in her family realised the shit storm that Alya had realised on the city.

The weekend was nice, her cousins were annoying but that was expected since most were younger than her. Her aunt and uncles were fun to chat with as they were all interested in how her school had been since the last time she had visited. She got strange looks from her relatives when she mentioned Lila but Alya ignored them as she focused on telling them how popular her blog ha become.

When Alya finally came back to Paris she was too tired to go online and the next morning she was late so had to quickly run out of the house only saying a quick goodbye to her parents, ignoring whatever they had to say. As she ran to school, she noticed the strange looks she got from people but that didn't matter, she couldn't afford to be late as she was on thin ice with Miss Bustier from filming on Akuma battles instead of getting to class on time.

Bursting through the door, she quickly started her apologise while she also focused on getting her breath back. Only after that, she noticed how eerily quiet the classroom was. Standing up to face the class she saw that many of her classmates looking exhausted, some of them were glaring daggers at her while others just avoided her eyes entirely. Lila looked as white as a sheet while she stunk down into her chair. What was shocking was Marinette and Adrien.

Both were at the back of the room, Adrien sitting down in his seat with a cold demeanour that resembled his father while Marinette was stood at the top of the steps arms crossed and had a calm face that seemingly hid a tidal wave of anger behind it. That along caused Alya to step back.

"Marinette are you ok?" asked Alya keeping her voice calm trying not to show her nerves, she had never experienced Marinette's anger, sure she had seen the girl angry outbursts at Chloe and Lila or when she messed up a design but this kind of anger was different and completely foreign to Alya.

"Am I ok? Really that's your first question, not I'm so sorry for all the trouble I caused you and the rest of the class" replied Marinette, confusing Alya,

"What do you mean?" questioned Alya,

"She means the article you posted Alya" stated Adrien in a tone similar to the one you would use when talking to a toddler,

"Article? You mean Ladybug being someone in this class" responded Alya slightly annoyed with the tone Adrien had used "speaking of which, why did no one tell me about one of you guys being Ladybug".

"Because no one in this class is Ladybug" growled Alix who was one of the few people who were able to look Alya in the eye,

"What do you mean?" question Alya raising her voice at Alix's tone, "Lila said-" she was cut off by Rose yelling which was something she never expected out of the girl,

"Lila lied" the girl yelled with eyes starting to water, "Lila lied about everything".

Rose collapsed in her seat sobbing as she was comforted by her girlfriend Juleka. Marinette looked at the pair with pity while Adrien shook his head. "What do you mean she lied?" responded Alya, she was getting more confused by the second,
