Passerby A and B looked at me like I was a monkey in zoo. Finally, they agreed, "Yeah, much better looking than in the photo".

Photo????

I glared at Jungkook. "You showed them my picture?" And a very awful one at that!

Jungkook looked at the boys innocently. "Where did you guys find her photo?"

Passerby A answered, "Someone posted picture of you two eating together on the school forums. That post's really hot....Jungkook, you didn't know? Ey, Junior Lisa, you didn't know either?"

I shook my head. Then I glanced over to the just-as-lost Jungkook and asked, "What post?"

Passerby B piped up, "Go online and take a look. It's sitting right on the from page of the forum. And it's been there for a few days". He pulled at Passerby A's arm. "We're off. Junior, you two, enjoy your chat....Jungkook, make sure to get me an exclusive pic of you two. No need if it's too mature". And then the two boys slinked off just a sneakily as they'd come.

My face was red. I looked at Lisa and said, "That....You can't give them my picture!"

Jungkook smiled slightly. With a laugh he said, "Well, that'll depend on how well you listen".

Damn it. Jungkook just found another excuse to bully me.

After the Passerby left, another figure suddenly floated into the seat next to me. I turned to find the vice president of our school's Environmental Alliance Club. She was a third-year and also very plucky.

Once I saw the vice president, I immediately put on my flattering face. "Senior Lee, what a coincidence!"

Senior Lee Jieun first smiled sweetly at Jungkook before turning to greet me.

I didn't know what I ought to say next. While I admired the vice president, I'd only ever spoken to her a few times, and we weren't very close.

But Senior Jieun pat my head as if were very good friends and complimented me on new hairdo. Just as I was at my wit's end, she finally delivered a piece of good news. I was so excited that I didn't even feel like finishing my meal.

She told me that I'd won a prize.

The Environmental Alliance Club was organizing a 'get close to nature' camping trip. I'd really wanted to participate, but all the students going would have to pay a fee for tent rentals and meal supplies, etc. And at the time, I was pretty short on money and could only walk away dejected. But then the club held a school-wide raffle to publicize the event. If your name was pulled out, you could go on the trip for free. Although the chances were small, I still held onto that small sliver of hope that I might win. I was really excited at first, but because the chances weren't at first, I forgot about the whole thing after a few days. Who'd have thought that this kind of news would suddenly smack me on the head today?  I felt really happy but also a bit dizzy.

Senior Lee pat me on the shoulder and smiled. "Congratulations, Lisa. Starting today, you'll participating in our training. Camping requires a certain physical strength".

I looked at her with sparkling eyes and nodded my head.

Senior Lee gave a charming look to Jungkook. She smiled and said, "Jungkook, we still have a spot to attend for free. Are you interested?"

I grabbed Senior Lee's arm and looked at her incredulously. Weren't the free spots filled by a lottery pick? Senior has your brain short-circuited?

Jungkook politely returned her smile and said, "Thank you, but I think I'll pass".

I quietly let out a breath. Having Jungkook out of sight was such a marvelous thing. I grew more excited about the camping trip.

But then Jungkook asked, "Lili Monkey, you wouldn't want me to go, would you?"
