=== Rumour #2: Where are the Popular People!? ===
Ivan, Fi, Qi and Sou were all sitting in the library, as they were trying to study for their exams. The four were all trying too hard to focus, but really couldn't. Qi looked at everyone who didn't even make an effort to study. They were getting nowhere with their studies. Qi told the three that he was going to get a drink. The three nodded, as Qi headed to the classroom to get his schoolbag. Qi walked over to his desk, when he heard Hanaka and Val talking to each other. Hanaka asked Val if she had heard about this. Val lifted her head, tilting it, asking what she was talking about. Hanaka told Val that the popular people in their school had gone insane. Val raised an eyebrow. Val asked if Hanaka meant INSANE insane. Hanaka nodded, telling Val that some of them have turned into zombies, apparently. She then added on that they actually didn’t literally turn into zombies. They just acted like them. Val covered her mouth, asking if it had happened before. Qi had taken off his headphones, just so he could eavesdrop on this conversation. Qi wondered if this was the next rumour out of the twelve. Qi walked over to Val and Hanaka, asking how Hanaka found out about this. Hanaka told him that she overheard someone who heard someone who heard someone who heard someone who heard someone who heard someone who heard someone who heard someone. Qi cut her off. Qi walked off now, walking back into the library. He immediately walked over to the computers, looking up something. Ivan then complained that “Kids these days, always on their cell-ul-ars!”. Sou had a sweat mark, reminding Ivan that he was younger than Qi. Ivan said it didn’t count, since Qi was shorter than him. Fi walked over to Qi, asking him what he was doing. Qi told her that there was another rumour. Fi felt like a detective right now. Fi's eyes sparkled, as Qi looked up the school website. Sou had no idea that their school had a website. Qi's face dropped, as the article section was blank. A little while later, Ivan and Qi were alone together, walking down the corridors. Ivan raised an eyebrow, asking Qi to remind him of what they were doing. Qi explained, “Well, if this whole rumour is "Popular kids turn into zombie-like people", then we should check it out, by seeing if anything is up with the current popular students.”They were going to investigate the popular twins Joseph and Jone. Ivan and Qi were standing outside of the classroom.The two peaked into the classroom, as there were a bunch of girls swarmed around Jone. He told the girls one at a time, as he waved his hands around. He told them that they’d trip him, in a flirtatious voice. All the girl's hearts turned into eyes, as Ivan and Qi stared in disgust.It was definitely He loves himself, brags, is a narcissist and is on the student council. Ivan and Qi turned to each other, sighing. The two turned to the other side of the classroom, as they saw Joseph, with a bunch of students around him. A student called Joseph cool, and reffered to him as big bro. Ivan raised an eyebrow, wondering if the student said Big Bro. Qi nodded. It was most certainly Joseph. Super tall, looks old, has the title "big brother". Ivan blinked, as he slowly turned to face Qi, once he saw Joseph's face, asking if Joseph was a full grown man. QI found it odd. When they said he looked old he didn't think they'd mean he looks 27. Qi told Ivan that they should investigate. He’d ask Jone, while Ivan asks Joseph. Ivan nodded, as they both walked into the classroom. Qi walked up to Jone.Jone turned to Qi, as the girl beside him got angry, and started growling, telling Qi that he better back off. Qi asked Jone if he could talk to him. Jone nodded. The two sat at a table. Qi asked Jone if he knew about the rumours going around, where popular students are turning "zombie-like", or well acting like them. He asked if he knew anything about them, since he was popular. Jone knew nothing about it. The other popular students just weren’t on his level to be near him. According to him, he is too pretty for them. Jone twirled his hair, as Qi sighed.Meanwhile, Ivan walked over to Joseph. Joseph turned to Ivan. Ivan asked Joseph if he could ask him something. Joseph nodded, telling Ivan that they should get some space alone away from everyone first. The two sat down elsewhere. Ivan asked Joseph if he knew anything about the popular students going insane. Joseph thought, taking a picture from the desk. Joseph didn’t know much, but he did hear all the people woke up at a bay. Joseph handed the picture of the person to Ivan, telling him that maybe the person on the photo could have something to do with this, since they were the last person to talk to everyone before they went insane. Ivan stared at the picture, as Joseph wrapped his arm around Ivan. Joseph suggested that he helped Ivan with the investigation, since it sounded like fun. Ivan met up with Qi outside of the classroom, as Joseph followed. Qi asked what they knew so far. Ivan had an idea. He suggested that they tried acting popular, so they could lure the person doing this to people to them. Qi folded his arms. He didn’t see how it’d work, but it was worth a shot. “WOOO!! LOOK AT ME!! I'm popular! ¡Estoy muy popular!”,exclaimed Ivan, as he was now wearing sunglasses, as he posed. Joseph had a sweat mark, as he told Ivan that they didn’t do that. Ivan began to sing out, “♪ Check it, check it yeah! ♪ Check it, check it yeah! ♪”. He held up a rock sign, as he began to do a prisiadki. He took off the glasses, winking at Qi. Qi sighed. Qi decided that they should try something else. He told Ivan to praise Joseph for being popular. Ivan held his hands together, as his eyes had multiple sparkles in them, telling Joseph that he was so sugoi. Qi and Joseph both froze on the spot, hearing Ivan say this. He told Joseph that he was so kawaii. Ivan spun around, as his eyes became like a 90's anime style. Sou and Fi walked over. Sou asked what the boys were doing. The two froze, seeing Ivan make a kiss face. She decided that she wasn’t going to ask. Sou turned to Qi. Sou asked again what was happening. Qi turned to Sou, telling her that they were investigating the rumour he told them about. Eclipse walked over. Eclipse apologised for bothering them, but she told Joseph that his brother was lying on the floor, foaming at the mouth. The six walked to the cafeteria, where Jone was lying on the floor. Ivan looked around, and noticed a student, as he took out the paper Joseph gave him. He looked at the student again. Ivan asked Eclipse if she knew who Jone was talking to last. Eclipse pointed, as it was the student Ivan was lookin at in the picture. Ivan stomped over, telling the student to reveal itself. Qi, Sou and Fi blinked. Qi asked Ivan what he was doing. Qi and Sou were holding Ivan back from leaping across the table. Sou apologised for Ivan’s behaviour. Sou and Qi turned Ivan around. Fi added that this was random. The student Ivan accused grinned, as he started to laugh. Ivan, Fi, Qi and Sou all turned, to see him surrounded by purple smoke. Qi was surprised that Ivan was right. Ivan grinned, saying that he was infective. Su had a sweat mark, asking if he meant detective, not infective. The student now complained, saying that the popular kids should all just die.  The purple smoke covered the student, as he became some ghost being. All the students left the cafeteria. Ivan wondered if the students' grudge consumed him. He was getting deja vu from this. The monster whipped its tail at the four, but they dodged quickly. Sou wondered why they couldn’t just talk or hug it out. The monster then absorbed a student that was trying to run. It then absorbed Fi and QI next. Ivan and Sou jumped into the kitchen in the cafeteria. They were trapped. Ivan told the monster to spit Fi and Qi out, and called it a fatty. Ivan threw a frying pan at the monster. That did nothing. Sou grabbed a pot full of stew. She threw it, as the monster's eyes shrunk when it saw the stew. The monster began to react in a weird way, as it eventually shrunk, and everyone absorbed was now on the floor. The student that was possessed was lying on the ground. Sou walked over. Sou told the student that he had explaining to do. The student apologised, introducing himself as Toby. He had no idea what happened. He decided to explain his past. He really hates popular students. Ever since a young age, he has always been bullied by the popular students. They always find a way to bring him down. One day it got so bad, he was fed up, so he decided that he’d do something against them. He had no idea at first, but he decided to sneak some "crazy tablets" into their food. Joseph walked over to Toby, telling him that if he wanted, he could hang out with him. Toby's eyes sparkled, as he stood up, asking Joseph if he was sure. Joseph nodded. The two walked off, as Ivan, Fi, Qi and Sou turned to each other. That was another rumour solved. Two down, ten to go. Ivan sighed of relief, saying that he almost wet himself during that. The three blinked, shouting that they didn’t need to know.

 QI: ``So, the people became “Zombie-like”... And they were found at a bay..``
 JOSEPH: ``That’s odd..``
 Ivan grinned from afar.
 IV: ``Heh.. Heh… heh… Fear not friends!~``
 Ivan had a bigger grin, as he gave a thumbs up. 
 IV: ``The people aren’t zombies! They’re Zom-bays!``
 Ivan posed, as Qi and Joseph stared at him, for a good few seconds, while Ivan kept the pose, staring right back, with a sweat mark.
