Hey guys, it's Anya! Wow, it's been like... three days since I've uploaded, man does that feel like a long time. Any who, I've been really tired lately for some reason. I wake up, go to school, and then when I come home I'm dead tired. So basically I for the past few days I would come home, check all of my stuff, take a nap, shower, do homework, and then go to sleep. Wow, what fun times :D! But my point is, is that being so tired totally kills my inspiration. I'm pretty surprised that I was able to even finish this chapter. I even started a new fanfiction, The Academy of Light and Darkness, which I was pretty surprised that I could actually do (I believe I did it after a shower, hehe...). So anyways, please enjoy~!

Chapter Eleven

"Welcome, Hinamori-san!" Tadase greeted me with a shy smile when I entered the student council room with Kuukai. "Souma-kun, thanks for bringing her here."

The student council room was quite small. There was a large table in the middle of the room with six chairs around it. There was also a small table in the corner of the room with a tea pot and a portable stove top beneath it. There was an arrangement of tea cups next to it, along with sugar and crème. At the right side of the room there was a coat rack beside a green chalk board, the coat rack had all sorts of outfits hanging on it. Lastly, at the very back of the room there was a desk with a small laptop computer sitting on top of it.

Tadase was sitting at the desk with the computer, typing away. Mashiro Rima, the vice president, was sitting on the right side of the table. Rima was a very small girl, and her long, wavy blonde hair made her seem even smaller. Her large, deer-like eyes were a captivating gold color, and they made her seem so adorable. Yuiki Yaya, the sub-treasurer, was next to Rima, doing something with her cell phone. Yaya acted quite child-like, but she looked like she should be a third year in high school, despite only being a first year. Yaya had orange hair, lighter than Kuukai's, brought back into two pig tails ties together with big pink ribbons. Her light brown eyes had a childish glimmer to them, but the rest of her had pretty much caught up with her age. Nagihiko, unlike the others, was standing near the tea pot, probably preparing tea for lunchtime.

"No problem, King!" Kuukai winked reassuringly and took a seat on the left side of the table. I raised an eyebrow at his reply. King; what kind of silly nickname was that?

Gesturing over to the seat that was closest to me, at the head of the table opposite of where Tadase was sitting, Tadase asked, "Hinamori-san, would you like to sit down?"

"Whatever." I retorted and sat down in the seat. Yaya was still playing around on her phone, and Rima was now looking up at me with her large eyes.

"Thanks for waiting." Nagihiko set a cup of tea in front of each of us. "Today we're just having plain green tea, please enjoy." Once Nagihiko passed out the tea, he put the crème and sugar in the middle and took his seat next to Kuukai.

I felt so nervous sitting there in front of the student council. Everyone except for Yaya had their eyes on me. I had never been under so much pressure in my life. Sure, people would stare at me during school and squeal, but that was different. Here, I had to actually speak to the people staring at me; everywhere else, I just ignored the people staring at me.

"Hinamori-san, we would like to discuss the situation that happened this morning." Tadase look at a piece of paper that was in front of him.

I sighed; I was getting tired of this. "Listen, I didn't do anything wrong. I was out grocery shopping with a…" What was Ikuto to me? He wasn't really in my life anymore, despite never entering, so what exactly was he? I finally decided on a word and finished my sentence, "An acquaintance. And he was only teasing me. It's not a big deal."

"The problem goes deeper than that." Rima spoke up. Her voice was soft and fragile, yet it had complete confidence. "If this was only a rumor, we would have no problem with that."

I raised an eyebrow. Now my curiosity was peaked. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Nagihiko cleared his throat and explained, "The rumors have been spreading further. Due to your popularity, things such as the poster and hacking have taken place."

I was popular? I almost laughed at the idea. Maybe I interested people, but no way in hell was I popular. If I was popular then the student council must be made up of celebrities. Each member wasn't bad to look at, if you catch my drift.

"Hacking?" This word stuck out to me the most. I hadn't heard anything about hacking.

Yaya showed me the screen of her cell phone, surely enough, there was the picture of me and Ikuto, with the same headline as this morning underneath it. "This is from the school website."

My entire body froze. The school's website had been hacked? Someone had actually gone onto the school website, hacked it, and then put a picture of Ikuto and me on there? Did this person just have too much time on their hands or did they just have serious skill? Either way, I was not in a good position.

"We would like to know if you had any thoughts on the matter." Tadase-kun explained to me. Yaya went back to playing around on her cell phone, almost completely ignoring the meeting.

Did I have any thoughts on the matter? I had a lot of thoughts on the matter. Someone, someone whom I've never spoken to, was going to such an extent to hack the school's website just to kill my rep. I couldn't think of anyone whom I could've upset. I spoke to barely anyone. Despite the fact that teenager's love to cause rumors, no one would go to such an extent as to hack a school website or make a large poster. That had to have cost some money.

"Do you mean you want to know if I know who did it?" I clarified what he was asking for. I could give him a lot of my thoughts on this topic, but we didn't exactly have all day.

Kuukai answered for him, "He means do you at least have an idea? Like an enemy, or perhaps an ex-boyfriend you just broke up with." Tadase and Rima gave Kuukai a worried glance at his last statement, but pretty soon their eyes were back on me.

Did I have any enemies? I never spoke to anyone. No way in the world I could have done something that had offended someone. I always kept to myself, but everyone else always did quite the opposite. I tried to think of anyone that I could've offended, but no one came to mind. None of the people I had come in contact with over the past few years could have had a legitimate reason to hate me, I've done nothing.

"Well, I've never had a boyfriend so the second option is out." I glanced at Kuukai, he had looked pretty mad when he had suggested that option. Now he was in an apathetic state, as if the situation didn't matter to him. Which, in fact, the situation didn't matter to him; it didn't matter to any one of these council members.

"So is there anyone who might have a grudge against you?" Nagihiko recommended an idea.

I shook my head. I replied, "No one that I can think of. Besides, I never talk to anyone."

Everyone was silent. Had they just realized how anti-social I'd been up until now? Yet, despite my anti-social attitude, someone must have come to hate me. I mean, why else would somebody try to destroy my reputation? Not like I had a reputation in the first place… The entire room was silent, except for Yaya's phone constantly beeping.

"What's she doing, anyways?" I asked. I was a tad irritated; the student council was trying to get themselves involved with my problems, so why was she the only one allowed to play around with a cell phone?

Tadase looked over at Yaya, and then gave me an awkward smile while saying, "She's trying to see if there's any information she can pick up on who did this." I grimaced at his remark. If they already had someone looking into it, why did they have to have me here?

"Well if you have Yaya, then you don't need me." I stood up out of my chair and turned towards the door. Honestly, they were completely wasting my time.

Just as I reached for the door handle, I heard a voice behind me, "I got it."

My body involuntarily turned around to see who had just spoken. Yaya was sitting triumphantly in her seat, showing her cell phone screen to Kuukai and Nagihiko. She spoke with a large amount of confidence, "See? Yaya can do helpful things, too."

Tadase and company looked expectantly at her. Since Yaya was too occupied with shaking her phone with excitement, no one could read what the screen said. Rima seemed to pay no attention to Yaya, but only sipped her tea, as if she knew this was coming.

Rima closed her eyes and took another sip of tea. She spoke, "Yaya, just tell us whom it is."

"There are a lot of people saying that it's," My ears were not prepared for what I was about to hear. I had no clue what was going to happen next, and the name that was spoken was one that made me feel like I was an idiot. The name made me feel like I should've known all along, and that it was so simple to know that it was basically common knowledge. "Yamabuki Saaya."

Yamabuki Saaya? Whom is this person that Amu seems to know oh-so-very well? Will the rumors about Amu stop, or will they just get even worse? Look forward to chapter twelve: For What Goes Up Must Come Down, but Eventually it Must Go Up Again. Until next time!
