"So... you and Kō-kun," Ayame said one day as Mika was doing xir homework in the dorm.

It was the second week of the new school year, a week after Kōtarō and Mika's date.

Mika and Kōtarō had gotten closer once again, people wondering if they were dating or not.

"How are you and the famous idol doing?" Ayame asked.

"Kōtarō?" Mika asked.

Ayame sighed, falling back onto her bed.

"Who else?" she said. "Everyone's been theorizing whether or not you two are dating."

Mika nodded, thinking about it.

Since their date, Mika still hadn't made up her mind. On one hand, xey really liked Kōtarō. On the other hand, Mika was still trying to figure out xir feelings; not sure if she was mixing up feelings after telling Kōtarō about everything.

Though, Eita had stopped being a factor towards stopping her from dating Kōtarō, rather a factor to get her to figure everything out.

"Move on and find someone who can make you just as happy as I did," Mika sighed.

Ayame glanced up at Mika, a confused expression on her face.

"What did you say?" Hoshiko asked, walking into the dorm.

"Nothing important," Mika said. "To answer your question, Aya; not yet... I feel bad, but I just don't want to commit without really figuring out if I like him."

"Ah, that's what you two are talking about," Hoshiko said, checking to see if Shun had left any snacks before she left for class (she didn't). "Oh- Mika, you should've heard this girl in my last class talk about you."

"What'd she say?" Mika asked, raising an eyebrow.

"She said, and I quote, 'Oyama-chan is annoying, too talkative,'" Hoshiko said. "Kō-kun was sitting on the other side of the room, so I think she was hoping that he would hear her."

The three of them laughed.

More and more girls started speaking rumors about Mika since she started spending more time with Kōtarō. Yet, as time went on, the rumors kept getting weirder and weirder.

"Talkative? Mika?" Ayame said. "How would she know?"

"That's what I'm saying," Hoshiko nodded. "I turned around, asking where she got that information- since you only really talk a lot with people you're comfortable with, Mika."

Mika nodded, it was true.

"You should've seen how mad this girl looked," Hoshiko continued, laughing. "She went off, telling me how I knew nothing about Mika. She even claimed to be your roommate."

Mika snorted in laughter. It was surprising to see how far people would go to try and make xem look bad.

"I don't know what people think spreading lies will do," Mika said. "Kōtarō and I have known each other for about two-three months now. He's going to know that they're lying- at least I think he will."

"Yeah, but they'll keep trying," Ayame said. "You weren't a big threat when you two started spending time together, you weren't very public about it. Some people were pissed, while most people didn't see you as much of a threat. You weren't a big deal."

"Ouch," Mika commented.

"Oh, Mika, you'll always be a big deal to us," Hoshiko smiled. "Shun even said so, just now."
