This girl, Abby texted the group chat to tell us something bad happened to our friend Ella, that her mom sent a message saying she collapsed and fainted.

It had been several hours, and Abby said Ella hasn't woken up yet, according to her mother.

I was worried, vented to my family about it, and tried calling her number. It appeared her phone had been turned off.

Later, Ella told me and her BF Michael that it was a prank and that her phone was off because she was on a plane. She was bored and thought no one would care if she was in an actual coma.

I was relieved and Michael was rightfully pissed.

Some people in my high school began saying that someone in their class died in a motorcycle crash. I'll call the "dead" kid Nel.

So Nel has a motorcycle (here in Costa Rica there are some sort of scooter-like motorcycles that you can drive without needing a license as long as you are at least 13 years old)

So I enter the classroom these guys were at, and they tell me Nel is dead. I asked why, and their answer was "Because he tried to protect a beautiful girl from an incoming car and the car hit him".

I actually believed them for 15 mins until someone calls them out, and it turns out there was no crash. Nel just had a fever and didn't go to school for the day.

Hours later I realized their argument didn't make sense. If Nel had protected another person from an incoming car, it would still hit the 2 anyways.

At the end I was called a whiny removed because apparently I can't tolerate dark humor.
