Lisa was shocked when she arrived at school on Monday.
And shocked was still a fairly harmless term to describe what she felt.

In contrast to her, Jennies was absolutely unfazed. She calmly held Lisa's hand and talked to the couple next to her.
Only Lisa was still completely overwhelmed.

Everyone was staring at her.
It was almost as bad as with Rosé and Jisoo. No, maybe even worse.

Photos of Lisa and Jennie had been going around the school. Jisoo swore she had nothing to do with it. Nevertheless, there were now many confused classmates who didn't quite understand the situation.

In the photos from the party, Jennie and Lisa seemed to be getting on well. Very well. Too well, if you wanted to be precise.
The two girls were dancing intimately, sometimes sexily, and seemed happy.
No one had proof, but a few students swore they had seen the two girls kissing.

And despite the meaningful photos, no one knew exactly what was going on. They hated each other, everyone knew that. Yes, they had started sitting together at break times, but that was because Lisa's best friend and Jennie's best friend were together.

Once again, teams had been formed over the weekend.

Team Jennie was sure that Jennie would never stoop to Lisa's level. The perfect student representative, with straight A's, perfect looks and perfect lineage would never date a girl as problematic as Lisa, who was the subject of many rumors.
Not to mention that Jennie was definitely straight.

Team Lisa was sure that Lisa was too cool for the oh-so-perfect Jennie. Jennie could never be her type. Even Rosé would be a better match for Lisa, even if everyone could see that the dynamic between them was nowhere near romantic.
Still, no one denied that Jennie was quite attractive.

What the two teams discussing on Twitter and Instagram, as well as in the class groups, agreed on was that the photos were fake. Either fake, since photoshop and AI was becoming more and more problematic and harder to recognize, or it was a prank.
Maybe they had lost a bet?
If so, then it was definitely a bet against Jisoo, she was definitely someone who would make sure that her friends had to kiss each other for a lost bet.

Only now there was a new team.

"This is so silly with all the teams. It's been so long and people still haven't gotten over it?",

Jennie said to Jisoo.
The two girls had spent the whole time talking about their weekend and the successful fundraiser, completely ignoring all the students buzzing around them. At least until Jisoo brought up all the rumors on Twitter and Instagram, and the fact that there were probably teams again now.

"All these people were even tagging me in their stories and posts. Like I would respond even if I was serious about teams! Like no one has anything better to do, really. And then everyone complains when it's suddenly exam time again."

Jisoo nodded seriously.

"Yes. Very silly. Team Jenlisa is more popular either way, I already have more than 300 followers, and my fan page has been public only since Saturday."

Jennie nodded, but suddenly stopped while listening to Jisoo and stared at her best friend.

"Your what?"

"My fan page. On Instagram. TeamJenlisa."

Jisoo repeated indifferently.
She began to grin as Jennie's horror showed on her face and she frantically took her phone out of her bag.

"Please tell me that this is a joke.",

she mumbled, fearing the worst. Jisoo laughed.

"Nope. As I said, 300 followers after less than 48 hours. Even from outside the school. People are shipping you. I think they are just into cute lesbian couples. Maybe I should do something with me and Chaengie too."
