Episode 54: S e n i o r T r i p

"SENIORS!!!" The two classes hollered as they were being loaded onto the bus.

"No way, he told you that?" Sera's friends gasped among each other.

"Yeah, he said he was only seeing her because she brought him lunch every day! But he actually hates her and think's she's too clingy."

"But you're basically the girl he's cheating on her with, how do you feel?"

"She's just stupid enough to not notice that he's using her." Sera scoffed.

"Yeah," they agreed silently as she turned to Wonho.

"Babe, will you be okay?" She whispered, rubbing her hands against his back.

"I'm fine. I took a few pills to help." Wonho's pale face looked up at the bus as they approached the steps. He often got carsick on long rides and this was a three-hour trip to the mountains.

"Alright, love birds. Get in and make sure you two behave. I can't believe you even managed to pass your exams." Ms. Kim eyed Sera and Wonho with a glare, receiving a taunting smile back.

Sera settled down in the back of the coach bus where most of the cooler kids sat. This way they were able to be the loudest and also look out for the teacher in the front. Just as she was settling in her seat beside Wonho, who already started to drowse off to sleep, she spotted Aiko walking in.

"He's probably going to sit in the front alone like the other losers. At least he won't have to see me and wave like a fool." She muttered, sitting down but still sneaking peeks from behind the chair in front of her. To her surprise, Aiko's eyes came in contact with her, but as soon as they did, he was the first to turn away. "Did he not see me?" Her brows furrowed together as he walked closer, stopping just a few chairs away from her, right in the middle of the bus.

"You came!" She overheard his excited voice while he shoved his duffle bag under the seat and sat down. Averting her eyes off him, she finally saw the white-haired girl sitting beside him.

"Natella?" Sera narrowed her eyes. Her spying was cut short as Wonho wrapped his arms around her, groaning and nuzzling into her neck.

"Are you okay?" Sera peeled her gaze off of them and asked the boy with concern.

"Fuck. I'm sooo sick." He mumbled, shutting his eyes tight. With an unsatisfied sigh, she leaned back into her chair and placed her hands around Wonho's face, glaring at the perfect view she got of Aiko and Natella's seat.

"Hey, you look different?" Natella immediately commented on Aiko's new look. His short mullet was combed back to reveal more of his handsome face and she couldn't help but notice the detail of his fake black ear piercing that matched the vibe of his sleeveless KIZZ top and dark ripped jeans.

"Yeah, my uncle wanted to style me today." He awkwardly scratched the back of his head. "Do I look bad?"

Natella smiled and shook her head. "But you kind of look like you belong in the back with them." She pointed at the crowd of rowdy kids behind her and scoffed. Aiko avoided looking since he knew that if he saw Sera again he'd probably give in and say 'hi'.
