It helps that said bullies bragged about how they lied to their music teacher about helping her jumpstart a career in the industry (one of them has a dad who's a music producer) moments before they got knocked out.

Entertainingly Wrong: Annika's friends fear Elizabeth was either kidnapped or murdered because the faculty's making no attempt to look for her and are acting like she didn't exist. After discovering Mr. Bourne's got numerous candid photographs of her, they even start to suspect he was stalking Elizabeth or having a relationship with her thanks to snippets from her diary. They learn there was no faculty plot and Liz is fine. Her family are famous rock stars with their own TV show. The teachers were simply paid to keep her identity a secret, but Bourne was a paparazzo who infiltrated the school to get a scoop on her.

What Happened to the Mouse?: One of the initial faculty suspects is Ms. Caine, the world literature teacher. Annika mentions Caine always seemed to hate Elizabeth but didn't understand why because she was "Miss Scholastica U.S.A.," but she vanishes from the graphic novel immediately after her introduction. The fact that Elizabeth comes from a family of rock stars might've had something to do with it.

comment
Sweet Tooth: Frederika loves sweets, so much so that she takes it pretty hard when the student body is sent to their rooms before getting dessert (chocolate cake) as punishment for starting a food fight.

comment
Berserk Button: The lunch ladies take their cooking very seriously. Charles and Edwin almost immediately blow their cover when they don't put anything on their trays (seeing as how don't eat), which leads Mrs. Calderon and Mrs. Levar to assume they're... dieters. Annika calls them off by appealing to their egos, stating her "cousins" were simply overwhelmed by such a delectable array of international delights. They chase after Professor Pim when they find out he was cheating on his diet, seeing as how hard they worked to create low calorie but delicious meals for him.

Precocious Crush: The schoolgirls all swoon over their attractive pretty boy teacher Mr. Bourne. The youngest of the schoolgirls, five-year-old Frederika, has a crush on Edwin to the point of referring to him as her "husband", which Edwin chooses to play along with for her sake.

Animesque
 The Dead Boy Detectives (Comic Book) / int_db08a39d
comment
Animesque: The Western comic is advertised as a "manga digest" and is drawn in the style of a manga. It's black and white, the characters have oversized heads and eyes, the characters are introduced with hobbies and blood types ("he hasn't got any; he's a ghost!") and hallmark Japanese visual arts tropes like Luminescent Blush and Face Fault are used to indicate the characters' feelings.

Identical Stranger: Charles and Edwin panic when they see Ms. Dierdre, the gym teacher, as she looks eerily identical to Death. It turns out she's not actually Death in disguise, she just kind of looks like her.
