Rumors

The Kadic Academy students hung out on campus on a warm Monday afternoon.

Students chatted in their cliques talking about their weekend and the latest trend that has Kadic kids talking.

"Extra! Extra!" Milly Solovieff chanted waving newspaper. "Read all about it!"

"Latest trend hitting Kadic!" shouted Milly's best friend and partner Tamiya Diop. "Web rumors spread like crazy!"

"Hey guys," Jeremy Belpois greeted his young friends. "What's up with the news today?"

"A huge trend is making way at Kadic," Milly said handing him a newspaper.

Jeremy quickly scanned the front page. "'Web rumors are attacking the student body'? What's that supposed to mean?"

"Wow Jeremy. For a computer nerd, we'd expect you to be the first to know," Tamiya said.

"Someone at Kadic created a website that's spreading rumors about everyone," Milly explained. "It's so serious, Mr. Delmas is getting involved."

"Wow that's a shock," Jeremy said, continuing to read the story.

"Hey Jeremy!" Jeremy looked up to see his friend Odd Della Robia was calling for him. Jeremy ran to his friend.

"What's up Einstein?" Odd greeted. "We were waiting for you."

"Talking to Milly and Tamiya about this story. Check it out." Jeremy handed Odd the newspaper as they walked to their group of friends.

Aelita Schaffer, Ulrich Stern, Yumi Ishiyama, and the new member to their Lyoko team, Dani Van Hansen greeted the two when they arrived.

"Have you read this story?" Odd said waving the newspaper. "This is crazy!"

"We know," Yumi replied. "We were just talking about it."

"Who knew someone would be that cruel and spill secrets about everyone at Kadic," Ulrich added.

"Have they said anything about any of us yet?" Jeremy asked.

"Sadly yes," Dani said. "There's a rumor saying I got kicked out of private academy in London cause I was caught making out with the principal's son!"

"I saw that!" Aelita replied looking up from the laptop on her lap.

"It's terrible," Dani added. "And so not true!"

"Not as bad as my rumor," Ulrich said. "They posted saying I have a secret girlfriend that I run off to see after curfew."

Yumi blushed. "And is that true? No right?"

Ulrich blushed as well. "Of course not!"

"Well whoever is making these rumors obviously have no life," Aelita replied. "They're pathetic to waste their time talking about people."

"True," Dani said. "And in a few weeks, this rumor website will be nothing."

"I don't think so!" screamed a screechy voice. The screechy voice belonged to 'Kadic Princess', Sissy Delmas. "I'd say its just beginning!"

"And how do you know?" Odd asked.

"This website is dishing the dirt on everyone. It's like some secret blackmail or something. Only one person could know everything about everyone."

"Wait a minute," Yumi said. "There's only one person who would know everything about everyone... and that's YOU!"

"What?!" Sissy gasped. "I would never!"

"Yumi's right!" Odd added. "It makes perfect sense! You're always up everyone's alley when it comes to blackmail."

"Wait wait!" Sissy panicked. "Sure I don't like you guys but I wouldn't say things to you as rancid as the website!"

"Oh please!" Ulrich joined in the argument. "You're as rancid as they get."

The argument gathered the attention of other Kadic students.

"Ulrich's right!" shouted one of them.

"So is Yumi and Odd! Only knew those things about all of us!" screamed another.

"Sissy, you're more evil than we all thought! Down with Sissy!" shrieked another student.

"Hey! Hey!" Sissy said defending herself. "I am not the website maker!"

"She's right everyone!" Aelita shouted above the crowd. "Cause if she did make the website, why would she post about herself?"

Aelita passed her laptop around for everyone to read the screen.

"'Sissy 'Sissy Baby' Delmas Sucks Her Thumb and Talks to Her Teddy: Watch the Video'?!" the crowed burst in laughter at the story and the video.

"Hey!" Sissy screamed. "Stop it! Stop it! I was set up! DADDY!" Sissy ran into Kadic for her father.

"Wow, if they can tear Sissy down like that, this person is more cruel than I thought," Dani replied.

A shrill bell ring rang and the Kadic student body dispersed to their classes.

"Ugh, time for class," Yumi groaned. "And I gotta math exam. See you guys after." Yumi waved goodbye and ran to class.

"And we all have science with the amazing Mrs. Hertz," Ulrich said with sarcasm. The rest of the friends laughed as they walked to class together.

"Well I got a pass out of her class for some business to attend to for another teacher," Dani waved her yellow pass. "See you guys after class!"

Dani ran the other direction to her class and Aelita, Jeremy, and Ulrich turned to Odd.

"What?" Odd said.

"Don't think we forgot," Aelita replied.

"Forgot what?"

"Umm, your dream girlfriend Dani?" Jeremy joked.

"HEY!" Odd turned red. "Stop it!"

Ulrich chuckled. "So when are you gonna ask her out? We're just gonna keep bothering you until you do."

"I'll do it when I do it okay! UGH!" Odd stomped off ahead of the Jeremy, Ulrich, and Aelita.

"Poor kid," Ulrich said. "Head over heels in love." The three friends laughed and tried to catch up with Odd.
