Chapter 13

The next school day we found out that we would be going on a school field trip. A sigh escaped my lips. I've never gone on the trips with my class because I didn't have enough money. The guys were all talking about it at lunch and I sat there quietly eating my food.

"Chae aren't you excited? We're going to the States!" Mingyu smiled excitedly. They would be going on a trip to California for two weeks. It was for our language class, since we're learning English the school decided to go to an English speaking country to speak with Natives.

"No, I'm not going." I told him taking a bite of my food.

"What! Why not?" Jeonghan asked.

"I don't have money to go." I said.

"Not a problem, I'll pay for you." Seungcheol smiled.

"No you won't. I'm not gonna let you spend that much money on me. I'm gonna go back to class, I'll catch up with you guys later." I signed walking away. It was a nice thought but I don't want to be their charity case. Besides if I really wanted to go I could figure out a way to get the money.

After school I went to the diner alone, I haven't seen the guys since lunch and it was kind of weird, but I didn't think anything of it.

I sat in my normal spot and talked with Jaemin. I went to get my siblings and walked home with them. I was living my life how I had without the guys. It was quiet and kind of boring. I laid on my bed and started doing my homework. Eventually I fell asleep.

After what seemed like hours I shot up. I was breathing heavy, I had the weirdest dream. I was being chased by giant spiders in Rollerblades.

There was a knock at my door and I let them come in. It was Wonwoo and I was ecstatic that I finally got to see one of the guys.

"What's up?" He asked sitting down on my bed. "No one has seen you since lunch."

"Nothing really, and yeah it was kind of weird that I hadn't seen anyone." I replied.

"Well I mean most of us thought you were mad at us." Wonwoo trailed off.

"What? Why?" I questioned confused.

"The field trip." He said. "We kept talking about it because we forgot you were poor, so we thought you would be mad." 

"That's so stupid." I shook my head. "Anyways, why are you here?" I asked.

"Oh about that, I need your help." He chuckled awkwardly.

"What with?" I asked cautiously.

He just smiled dragging me out of my house. I slipped on some shoes and we quickly continued to his car that was waiting for us outside. When we arrived I had no clue where we were. It wasn't his house, like I thought it would be, but a building.

"So what are we doing exactly?" I asked still very confused.

"I need you to be my girlfriend." Wonwoo grinned widely.

"What! No, why?" I was shocked that he would say that. Also I wasn't sure if that was him asking me to date him or not. It was a weird situation.

"It's nothing serious. You just have to pretend to be dating me." He told me. "Basically me and Mingyu got into a huge fight yesterday and I told him that we went on a date. At first he didn't believe me but the thing is when I came out to him I told him I was bisexual because I thought that he would make fun of me if I told him I was gay." Wonwoo started.

"You're crazy. I thought he knew that you told us about your relationship?" I asked.

"He only thinks Jeonghan, Seungkwan and Minghao know." Wonwoo laughed. "Anyways I told my parents about the situation and they were pissed at me, but they said they would go along with the plan."
