"Dude, Taehyung, you're so lucky to have a girl like Jennie. She's so hot." This guy I know from Gym, tells me, I give him a look. "I mean, look how perfect she is." He says, is this guy crushing on my girl? I already have a kid crushing on her, I don't need a other person crushing on her.. she's mine. My eyes turn to her in the water as she splashed in the water with her friend that she was talking to on the bus.

Her hair looks so beautiful as it had taken on a wavy look due to the sea air and the water. That cute two piece she's wearing, definitely has my attention. Including all the other boys attention. I sit back in the sand and watch her have fun, I grin. "Have you done IT yet?" He asks, "No, we haven't gone to go see IT." I tell him, he busts out laugh. "Not the movie you idiot, I meant. Have you and Jennie done the hanky panky." I look at him mad. "Don't ask me that."

"Oh, sorry.. I didn't know you cared so much about staying a virgin." He laughs rudely. "Why does it matter if I'm a virgin or not? Last time I checked, what I do with my junk is none of your business." I ask. "Dude, almost all the guys in our graduating class haven't been abstinent since last year." I stare at him. "I still don't understand why you think it's so important to do it." He digs his feet into the sand. "Look, now a days if you're a virgin it usually means you're a wimp and you're bad at getting girls.", "I don't care about the things people are saying or thinking." I spit.

"I guess, just don't be pissed when guys start trying to get at Jennie. It's also sort of a claim on your girl, if everyone knows you haven't done it.. it means you're not serious about her. Then everyone else will want her." This is absolutely ridiculous. Everyone in school are so dumb that they think sex means everything. I believe that I don't have to have sex with Jennie in order to claim her as mine. She isn't an object. "You know, it just goes to show how much of a better man I am then most of our graduating class." I start.

"How's that so?" He asks, "I don't use girls as objects, just shows how much dishonor you put on your family. Everyone knows that you're supposed to wait to have sex until marriage. I'm keeping honor, so in stead of everyone looking down on me.. I'm looking down on all of you puny people." His face goes blank. "Being a virgin is the new trend, thought you knew." I smile. He just stares at me.

"So maybe, keep your eyes off my girl. I don't have to do anything to her in order to set a claim on her. If other guys will try to get at her, then they'll have to catch these hands, thank you very much. That's all I have to do to show everyone she's mine." I shrug and look forward and she's walking toward me with her friend. "Oh.. ah.. back off." I tell him, from my peripheral vision I see him get up and run away.

I greet Jennie with a smile, "Had fun?" I ask her. She nods quickly, I stand up and wrap her towel around her. "Oh Tae, I wish you would have stayed in the water longer." She explains. "The water was making my skin itchy." I explain. She frowns and kisses my cheek. "Poor baby." She does aeygo. I smile and kiss her forehead. I look to her friend Areum, "You joining us for breakfast? They're about to start serving." I explain, she must feel like such a third wheel. "Uh, sure. Being in the ocean sure does make you hungry." She smiles.

"Okay, Good. We should go then, before the line start to get long." I explain. Jennie nods and grabs my hand. The three of us head to the cafeteria, there's already a line.. great. As we stand in line I listen to all the guys commenting about how cute or hot Jennie looks with her beach wave hair and her swim suit. I decide not to tell her about the conversation I had with the kid on the beach. It's completely irrelevant to everything.

I know for a fact that Jennie and I don't need to have sex to show affection to each other, though our parents thought we would need condoms. I then turn and look at Jennie, she has the towel around her hair and her body is in full view in that bikini. I feel my blood boiling, I don't want anyone to look at my girl. The towel I have in my arm, I wrap it around her body. She looks at me confused as if I had cut through her conversation with her friend or she wanted everyone to see her body.

"Is something wrong?" She asks. "All the boys are looking at your body." She looks around and then looks back at me. "You're my girlfriend, I don't want anyone looking at you like that. Everyone's a dog." I tell her. She grins and tightens the towel around her body before taking my hand and continuing her conversation with her friend. I feel much more comfortable when all the inappropriate comments come to an end.

I know for a fact everyone has gotten the idea, Jennie is mine, so that means back up before you get smacked up. I hold her hand tight and run the pads of my fingers over the back of her skin. I've been rethinking the conversation I had with the kid, wow. It's honestly dumb how boys think now a days. People have such different morals and goals in high school that have nothing to do with academics.

Growing up, all my life, in the performing art schools has really taught me to be a better version of myself. Back in those schools, it was always so busy that basically no one even had a single thought about sex or any type of opposite gender interactions, to be exact. Everything was only meant to be on stage, no boyfriends or girlfriends, none of that was allowed. Grow feelings for someone? Too bad! Cause it's not going to happen.

Maybe that's why I'm so selfish, because Jennie is my first everything.. beside kissing. I've kissed dozens of girls in my PA schooling career, but none of them could ever have a higher value than Jennie. I feel her lay her head on my shoulder and she holds onto my bicep. I look down at her, "What are you thinking?" She asks. "A lot." I chuckle. "Well, you can tell me." She smiles.

"It's just about guys in school, they're so dumb." She laughs and I look at her confused. "All the girls know that." She answers. She's right, I'm over here talking like she's unaware of the male species in the school. I'm obviously the one whose new to this. "Jennie." I start, she hums and looks up at me. "We don't have to have sex in order to show we love each other, right?" I ask. She blinks a couple of times before biting her lip. "No, we don't. Who put that in your head?" She asks. "That kid I was talking to when you were on the beach." A disgusted expression grows on her face.

"Ugh. That's disgusting, don't listen to him. He's a horn dog and all the girls know it, that's why he will stay single for the rest of the school year." She explains. "He was telling me that I have to make a claim on you so that other guys don't get at you." She rolls her eyes. "Don't listen to him, everyone knows I'm your girlfriend." She says. "Okay, Good." I nod. She sets her chin on my shoulders and looks at me. I lean forward and kiss her lips, before I can pull away she holds my face.

I smile and she kisses my cheek before we pay attention to the line and walk into the cafeteria. When we walk into the cafeteria there's an other atmosphere. People are talking about something else, I try to eavesdrop into it. "Oh my gosh, it's so cute that Jungkook and Lalisa have the same flower crown.", "Do you think they made one for each other?", "Can they just be together already?"

I look around the cafeteria and I don't see them anywhere. Flower crowns? "I saw them last night, talking by the bonfire.", "Oh my gosh, what were that saying?", "I couldn't hear, but I was being nosy and I saw them kiss." My eyes widen, Jungkook had the guts to kiss a girl? I mean, I saw them at the bonfire circle. But I never thought that would happen, it's just a rumor. I shouldn't believe it.

I block out the comments and we follow the line and get our breakfast. We sit at the table and all people are talking about is Jungkook and that girl. As long as nobody is talking about Jennie, I don't care. I look up at Jennie and she looks pretty annoyed. Why?

**

We sit down for breakfast, and the second we walking into the cafeteria, people have been taking nonstop about Jungkook and the blonde. Why does anyone care? What happened to people talking about me in my bikini? And what the hell did I hear about Jungkook kissing her? It's only a rumor, I won't believe it until I see it. Areum joins us at the table a short while after, I hope she has some in-site on all these rumors.

"It's official guys, I think Jungkook kissed Lalisa." She says. I stare at her in disbelief, Jungkook would never do that. "Some girl who has her tent near the bonfire pit, saw them together, she said it was the most romantic kiss she's ever saw.", "Lies." I say under my breath. "What do you mean lies? Do you think that they didn't?" Areum asks me.

"Yes, look. Jungkook is terrified of girls, why would he kiss one?" I ask, "Well, he's not scared of this one. Sorry to burst your bubble." I stare at her, she pretends to poke an invisible bubble around me. She makes a quiet "Pop." Sound. "Why do you look so shocked? I knew it would happen, he likes her. Duh." I feel anger roar inside me. "He can't like her, because he's in love with me." I rebuttal.

"Geeze Jennie, didn't know you cared so much about Jungkook being in love with you. He's not even your friend anymore and you don't care about him, so why do you feel the need to get mad that he likes such a sweet girl like Lalisa?" She asks me. "Because, she's not sweet. She's a little dog, she made me feel like crap and she said horrible things to me." I instantly have Taehyung's attention. I mean, I think I had his attention the whole time talking about Jungkook.

"What? She said things about you?" He asks, Areum looks pretty surprised herself. "What'd she say?" Areum asks, she seems suspicious about what I'm saying. I think up all the most horrible things someone could possibly say to another person. "She said she doesn't understand why so many girls in our school look up to me, because I'm so ugly. She said I should kill myself." I cover my mouth with my hand. "Oh my gosh... I didn't think that she was like that." Areum had fallen for my lies.

"Wow.. and Jungkook thinks she's so amazing." Taehyung shakes his head. "Why do you think I've been saying he shouldn't like her? She's a horrible person." I put my acting skills to the test. "They're not a cute couple after all." Areum whispers. Soon the atmosphere changed, and the talk of Lalisa being a horrible person has filled the cafeteria. I wish I could smile and the destruction I've created. No more talk of the perfect couple, all my followers and fans would shred her to pieces. We'll see how she survives this, haha.

Authors POV

The gossip had taken over the cafeteria in a matter of seconds, the chaos that Jennie wanted to create, had been created. Girls who adored her and wanted to be just like her made, many plans on how to sabotage Lalisa on the last two days of the trip. Jennie just sat there and smiled in her head as she could imagine Lalisa crying like the little dog that Jennie had depicted her to be. Jennie wanted people to hate Lalisa, why?

Nobody knows, it might even be so that Jennie doesn't even know why she hates Lalisa. It seemed that pure hate for such a sweet girl had grown more and more when she had seen how Jungkook treated her. Jennie wanted Jungkook to walk her home from school, not Lalisa. She wanted him to take her dinner from his house, not Lalisa. She wanted to be the one who took pictures with him, not Lalisa. She basically wanted the friendship back she had with him. She never wanted to be the one at fault, so she blamed it on Lalisa. She also dare not admit that she's been jealous of the friendship Jungkook had developed with another girl who wasn't her. Of course in her head she's mapped it all out, about how everything is Lalisa's fault.

Lalisa is the reason why Jungkook stopped hanging out with Jennie. Lalisa is the reason why Jungkook doesn't go to watch Jennie's plays. Lalisa is the reason why Jungkook ruined everything by confessing to Jennie about his feelings. Lalisa is the reason why Jungkook is so happy now a days, and he always wanted to be around her, not Jennie. Lalisa is the reason why Jennie has made it a new game to ruin the rest of the school year for the sweet girl.

But what did Lalisa ever really do? Confront Jennie about how she made her friend Jungkook feel. Lalisa wanted Jennie to be aware of how she hurt Jungkook's heart. It all resulted in Lalisa being bullied and harassed every single day in gym. Lalisa had only let her friendship with Jungkook bloom naturally, she had never meant to fall for him like she has now. So, liking him was such a crime because Jennie had set her claim on two boys at the same time and she likes being the center of attention and she's never the one to blame.

Through all this, Jungkook is unaware of anything. And he's still confused about his feelings for both girls.

**

I was just walking around with Jungkook when I'm splashed with water, I gasp as the temperature of it is ice cold. Before I can even turn around, another substance is thrown on me. It gets caught in my hair and slides down my face making my eyes burn. Sand, beach sand. It all sinks into my clothes making me feel itchy. I turn to look at the girls, they all laugh. "DOG!" They yell. I'm confused. "Are you okay?" I hear Jungkook. I drop my head and I fight back tears, "Lalisa." Gosh, why must my heart pound so hard when I hear him say my name?

I shield my face and begin to cry, not only because the sand is burning my eyes, but because I'm confused about why I'm being harassed on a trip that is supposed to be fun. I feel his arms wrap around me, and I hold onto him, hoping that this is all a joke and I won't continue to be harassed. I'd like to think that Jungkook's embrace is full of some sort of feeling. I'd like to hope that he's made up his mind and chooses me.

Jennie doesn't deserve the satisfaction of capturing Jungkook's heart. All she wants is to be able to brag about it and push me down. I can heal him, like he always heals me. I can make Jungkook smile, like he makes me smile. I can care for him, like he cares for me.

I tighten my grip on him, hoping and praying that he picks me. I want him to pick me.. because.. I love him.

**

She holds me tight, and I hold her just as tight. I wonder if she can hear my heart pounding, I wonder if she can hear my breathing become irregular. I wish I could make up my mind and pick the right person. The more I want to pick Lalisa the more I realize that she may not even like me. She knows I have feelings for Jennie.

That's also the reason why I can't make up my mind, Jennie. Just this morning she told me she wanted to be my friend again. That she misses me, would it be that she knows she's made a mistake and she doesn't want Taehyung, she wants me. Confusion stirring in my brain, why is this so hard. It's very clear that when I'm around Lalisa, I forget about everything that has to do with Jennie.

I also fight my feelings for Lalisa, because I realize that she's right. We need to stay friends, that's what's best for us. But the more I think about our kiss, how I could feel that she had been wanting to kiss me.. I'm unsure if she could feel the same from me. I'm not going to lie anymore, I wanted to kiss her. I want to be close to her.. and I think I want her. But now that I'm thinking everything out, Jennie comes right back into mind.

I've never been so confused in my life, at first I want to just be friends with Lalisa, but I actually want to more than friends. I want to kiss her again.. then I think of Jennie, she's been my love since I was young. But she's with another person, who, for some weird reason, is starting to be nice to me. I don't know what I want.

Lalisa pulls away from her, I use my hand to brush sand off her face and out of her eyes. She doesn't look at me. "I should go take a shower.." She whispers. Before I can answer she walks away from me and towards her tent. I stand there and watch her disappear into her tent, then when she comes out she walks to the showers alone. I slowly walk after her, making sure she doesn't get ambushed again by those girls. She enters the shower and I lean against the wall.

My heart instantly shatters when I hear her whimpering, she's crying. "Why Jungkook?" I hear her whisper to herself, but I can hear her because of the echoing walls. My eyebrows raise, is she blaming me for what's happening to her. "Why do I love you?" She whispers even quieter. I stare into space.. this answers everything. My heart is pounding in my chest and I feel like I can't breathe.

Lalisa is in love with me..

And it's like in this moment, I'm not so confused anymore. I then hear the water start and I slowly walk away from the showers, with this huge smile on my face. I have to tell Jimin. When I find Jimin and Chaeyoung, he looks serious, causing my smile to go away. "What's wrong?" I ask, "You haven't heard?" He asks. I slightly shake my head. "A rumor is going around saying that Lalisa told Jennie to kill herself." My eyes widen.

No, Lalisa wouldn't say that.... would she? No! She wouldn't, she'd.. no. It's not possible, Lalisa would never want harm on anyone, she's so sweet. "And you believe the rumor?" I ask him, wanting an idea of what he thought. "Hell no, Jennie just wants attention." Jimin says. I look at Chaeyoung, "Lalisa would never say that." She adds onto what Jimin said.

But who would I believe? Jimin and Chaeyoung... or Jennie?
