Is This The SFF? {Private}

[Faye]

Absolutely saturated. Just exactly what he wanted to start the morning with. A large bucket of water falling on top of him, completely drenching his school uniform and he would probably need a new phone now since it was in his pocket when the water had hit him.

At least he had gotten Rhiannon inside, she seemed about as shocked as he was about it so he wasn't about to suspect her, besides, she was the Student Council Reporter, not a backstabber. It had to be the Student Freedom Force, had to be them.

Leaving mini puddles on the linoleum floor, Sven passed the receptionist in the Girls' lobby and headed into the elevator, ignoring the queer look he got from the lady. He pressed the button for the ninth floor and shifted his weight onto his other leg as he waited for the elevator to take him to his desired floor.

The elevator dinged and the doors slid open into the wall, the drenched Vice-President stepped out into the hall, his hair sticking to his pale skin, he brought up a thin hand to brush them out of the way. They stayed, but stuck to other parts of his skin instead. He found Nicolette's room and stood in front of it, taking a deep breath.

He then brought his hand up, knocking on the wood with the back of his hand.

[Nicolette]

"{And you've been going to this stupid place since you were in seventh grade? I'm surprised you haven't killed someone, or yourself.}"

"{It is not really as bad as you believe it to be, little brother. I promise, it does get better.}"

"{Then again, you never really had many friends... Or, at least, not many pains in the ass to bother you.}"

"{Now, now... No need to be rude. You should acknowledge the fact that you are, in fact, receiving attention from your peers and keep a tight hold on that fact. You have an advantage that I did not have.}"

"{Wanna go back in time and trade?}"

The girl gave a small laugh, a sad smile coming to her lips as she reached her hand out to ruffle the boy's hair. He wrinkled his nose, but didn't jerk away from her touch. If anything, he lightly leaned up to meet her soft touch.

"{Sorry, Nico...}"

"{No need to worry, darling brother. The first year is always the hardest.}"

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, which caused the Brit-French students to look over at it. A small frown slid onto the lips of the girl. She wasn't expecting any company, other than her brother...

She rose from the couch, to which her brother reached over and grabbed the television remote, flipping through the channels while his sister answered the door. The girl was not prepared for what she saw when the door opened.

".....A-ah?"

The confused sound caused Henri to look over, and then proceed to snort. "Must be a downpour." He said sarcastically, considering the sunlight was still pouring in from the window across the room. "What did you do, take a dip in the pool with all your clothes on?"

Nicolette De la Fontaine turned to give Henri Verity a scolding look. "Be nice." She chided before turning to look back at Sven, confusion becoming evident in her eyes, asking the unsaid question of 'What happened?'

[Faye]

While he waited, he felt a shiver shoot down his back, the water was beginning to cool down to a freezing point as the air pushed up against him. He folded his arms across his chest and tried to keep as warm as he could until Nicolette answered the door.

When the door opened, another presence was in there, one that Sven was not expecting at all. He shot the boy a dark glare at his sarcastic comment, this was not funny. "Haha," His laugh was fake and held a tinge of annoyance.

"I don't know, I went to help Rhiannon get inside the office since the door had been crammed with paper clips and then when I opened the door a large bucket of water fell on me." The whole thing was embarrassing but he wanted to let Nicolette know, this could be something more than he was anticipating.

[Nicolette]

Henri snorted and Nicolette moved to let Sven step into the room. She shut the door and turned her attention to the taller male. "Stay here and I will get you a towel." It was really all she could offer. She left the living room and quickly rushed back to her bathroom, taking a couple of towels from her cabinet. She returned and handed them to her Vice President.

The younger male continued to lounge on his sister's couch, watching the older male with little interest. If anything, he was rather annoyed that his time with his sister had been interupted. He hardly got to spend any time with her as it was, and now his special time was being ruined.

Nicolette led Sven to her kitchen area, where the carpet turned to tile, and she pulled out a chair for him to sit in. She wasn't sure what to say in response to the information given to her. She frowned a little. Could it be an attack of the Student Freedom Force? It would be logical, considering they hadn't done anything to the Student Council so long... But it seemed rather... Childish.

[Faye]

Sven followed the President into the kitchen, ignoring the glares he received from Henri because their 'quality' time had been ruined. He didn't know who else to go to, AND, he didn't know the stupid brat was going to be there.

He took a seat on the chair, leaning back on the wood, his arms folding across his chest. "Who do you think it would be? The SFF seem more... superior to these kinds of acts but they're all I can think of," Having a third party in this 'war' was terrifying, there was enough stress as it was.

[Nicolette]

Nicolette bit her lower lip as she realized she hadn't yet shared the information of a 'third party' with Sven. It had been information shared between herself, Kyerin, and that Haruka Amagi girl who had come to the SFF leader's dormitory.

"There... is a very good chance that it could be a third party..." She started, turning her eyes to the floor in front of her as she thought. "I have received a personal attack recently..."

Henri began to pay attention at this. Something stuck odd in his mind at that comment. A personal attack... That girl who had spoken to him in the gym... She'd said that the SFF could be planning something under their noses, but she had also said that Kyerin had said ther personal attacks weren't something they did.

"It also seems that the Student Freedom Force has also received an attack." She glanced at her Vice President. "While the members are currently unknown to us, I believe I have information on another member, other than Kyerin." She paused, shutting her eyes for a moment, trying to recall the girl's name. "Haruka Amagi."

"There's another member."

Nicolette looked over in her brother's direction. Henri bit his bottom lip, nibbling it very similarly to how Nicolette had done earlier.

"I... don't remember her name... But she came to talk to me. She told me the Student Freedom Force doesn't do personal attacks, but they could be plotting anything right under our noses..." He looked down. "Sorry I can't remember more."

The girl gave a soft smile. "Well, if you can at least remember her appearance, you could point her out later." She assured the younger male.

[Faye]

Nicolette received a personal attack? Sven's mouth gaped open, his curiosity levels were rising and he wanted to know what happened but for now, he'd let it sit in the back of his mind. They were discussing other matters at the moment. "Haruka Amagi... name doesn't ring a bell at all," He mused aloud as he thought about whether or not he had seen her round the campus.

"Do you know what she looks like?" He asked Nicolette before Henri spoke afterward, his eyes averting to the younger boy.

Another member? Wow they were getting a bit sloppy with their confidentiality. He shook his head. "If the Student Freedom Force doesn't do personal attacks and the Student Freedom Force has received a personal attack as well, then we have even more to worry about," Sven's main concern was Nicolette's health, if this third party was going to be more active than this, he'd have to do a lot more to help her out.

[Nicolette]

Henri sat quietly, sitting back and watching his sister. As she spoke with Sven, she seemed to hold herself in a different way. She was showing a strength that he hadn't seen before, and it was then that he realized that this was Nicolette after joining Student Council, becoming the strong person that she has began to open up to be.

"We will continue business as usual, and keep a careful eye out for anything that might seem off. Record anything that is tampered with, and record anything you might deem as an attack..." She paused in thought for a moment. "However, I would highly suggest we keep this quiet from the other members. Please trust my decision."

She couldn't tell him the reason... She had a very bad feeling in the pit of her stomach, and felt that it would be safe to keep the information open to only a select number of people. Herself, Kyerin, Haruka, Sven, and, by extention, Henri.

[Faye]

Nodding, Sven agreed to keep her secret. "My lips are sealed," He said, his voice serious as he turned to take the towel Nicolette had gotten for him and rubbed his hair to try and get most of the loose water droplets out of his hair so they would stop making see-through patches on his white shirt.

"If it's not too much to ask, could you tell me what your personal attack was?" He would understand if she didn't want to tell him, since when she mentioned it, she went silent and appeared upset. However, due to the mentioning of it, his curiosity had gotten the better of him and he felt compelled to know.

[Nicolette]

Nicolette was quiet for a moment after the question. Henri sat up, his curiosity getting the best of him. He wanted to know what was going on; he wanted to confront that girl about this, and ask her what the hell was this bull shit about 'No personal attacks on Nicolette?'

"...Someone broke into my dormitory a few weeks ago. They went through my closet and took a skirt from my closet..." She paused and took in a deep breath, trying to keep herself calm. "It was... a gift from our late grandmother..."

Henri was horrified. "The skirt you got from Grand-mère?" He whispered before clenching his fists. "Did they steal it?"

"No... They... They took my paints from my front room... And they marked it up with paint... I had it dry-cleaned here on the Island in order to make sure it would at least survive, and then I sent it back to France in order to have my father's personal dry cleaners look into it and make sure all the stains are removed." She kept her eyes down the whole time, unable to face her brother or her vice president.

"They left a letter telling me I needed better style, and proceeded to paint on my bedroom wall as well..."

[Faye]

At the moment Nicolette mentioned breaking into her dormitory room, Sven's interest was sparked and he leaned forward, listening intently to what the President had to say. She appeared so frail, upset and on the verge of tears by bringing up this story. For a moment he felt guilty, but it went away, she was the one telling him, he did subtly give her the option of not telling.

By the end of it, Sven was completely speechless. He didn't know what to make of the attack and more so the person(s) who did it. "Wh-what immature little brats.." He muttered as he stared at Nicolette.

[Nicolette]

"Whoever broke into my dormitory could very well be the same person who caused trouble for the Student Freedom Force. I do not believe we are fighting against a familiar enemy... And in the end, it does seem that we will have to unite with our rivals in order to completely solve this mystery."

Nicolette knew there was little choice. If someone was planning to sabotage both the Student Council and Student Freedom Force, then they had to be stopped at all costs. It was bad enough that the Student Freedom Force had caused them trouble, but now having to fight a third party? It was too much. They had to be stopped.
