Imagine it's a couple of years ago, the summer between ninth and tenth grade. You're tan from lying out next to your rock-lined pool, and your mind's on how to spend the weekend with your 11 best friends. Life is perfect.
Well, think again.
Kim Taehyung and Jung Hoseok stretched as they got out of the pool.
"Are you tired of swimming?" Jeon Somi called from behind him, closing the magazine she was reading. Beside her sat Roseanne Park and Jennie Kim who were totally absorbed in the fashion magazine as they both fangirled over the beautiful CHANEL and YSL clothes.
"Kinda," Taehyung said as he brushed away his blue damn hair. Both he and Hoseok smiled a bit as Jeon Jungkook entered the backyard along with Kim Namjoon and Kim Seokjin.
"You guys!" Lisa Manoban pirouetted through the front yard. Her hair was bunched up in a messy bun, and she was still wearing her rolled-up field tennis kilt from the team's end-of-the-year party that afternoon.
"I brought snacks" Park Jimin shouted as he made his entry into the backyard with 3 packets of chips and cookies.
"What am I missing?" called Min Yoongi, sliding through a gap in Somi's hedges to join the others. Yoongi lived next door. His dark brown hair were messy, making him hotter. He was the leader of the school basketball team and he just returned from practice.
"Wait for me!"
They turned to see Kim Jisoo climbing out of her mom's Audi. She stumbled over her bag and waved her arms wildly. Even though Somi rolled her eyes, the rest of the gang pretended not to notice. That's just what best friends do.
The 12 bonded last year when their parents volunteered them to take up the swimming classes, well except Taehyung, who volunteered himself. Now, more than a year later, on the last day of ninth grade, they weren't just best friends, they were the famous gang in SNHS (Seoul National High School). A lot had happened to make it that way. Every sleepover they had, every field trip, had been a new adventure. Every club and house party they hosted together. The whole school called them the FAMOUS 12.
"I feel so good that ninth grade is over. I don't have to stand Mr. Lee anymore" Jin said as he lay down on the grass.
"You all wanna go to the club tonight. I got some VIP tickets" Rose said as she took out 12 tickets from her expensive purse.
"What! where did you got them?" Jungkook said as he took a seat beside her.
"Just flirted a bit with the ticket seller. He easily agreed" Rose said as Jisoo looked at her with a smug face.
"Great, so we all are meeting at what time?" Namjoon asked eagerly
"Let's meet at 6. That time is per-" Jennie said but she was cut off rudely by Somi who said "Nooo, not at all at 6. Let's meet at 7"
"I can't. I have my Tennis practice" Lisa said with a pout
"Then you don't come," Somi said sparing her a small glance. "Hey Somi, we can't leave Lisa. Let's go at a time we all agree on" Hoseok said
"Uh fine, then what time you all want?" Somi asked
"How about 8:30?" Jimin asked
"Isn't that too late?" Jisoo said scrunching her eyebrows
"No it ain't, fine then 8:30, it is," Jennie said closing the discussion.

8:30 PM
As the 11 walked towards the famous club which was very near to Roseanne's house. They heard a very squeaky voice. "Somi! Hey, Somi! Hey, Yoongi!"
Somi turned to the street. "UCT," she whispered.
"UCT," the others whispered to each other
It was this game Somi had stolen from her brother, Jay, who was a senior at SNU. Jay and his friends played it at inter-prep school field parties when scoping out girls. Being the last to call out "UCT" meant you had to entertain the ugly girl for the night while your friends got to hook up with her hot friends—meaning, essentially, that you were as lame and unattractive as she was. In Somi's version, the friends called "UCT" whenever there was anyone uncool, or unfortunate near them. UCT meant uncool trouble.
This time, "UCT" was for Bae Joohyun—a dork from down the street whose favorite pastime was trying to befriend the famous 11—and her two freaky friends, Erimia and Sooyun. The three stared at the Famous 11 from the middle of the quiet, urban road. Joohyun was beautiful no doubt, she was one of the prettiest on SNU, but her personality wasn't it. She didn't know how to enjoy parties and was a total bore.
"You guys want to come over and watch Hocus Pocus!?" Joohyun called.
"Sorry," Taehyung simpered. "We're kind of busy."
Sooyun frowned. "Don't you want to see the witchcraft!?"
"Gross!" Jisoo whispered in Jin's ear who eye-rolled at what Sooyun said
"Yeah, we wish we could." Jungkook tilted his head. "We've planned this club party for a while now. But maybe next time?" Rose added
Erimia looked at the sidewalk. "Yeah, okay."
"See ya." Somi turned around, rolling her eyes, and the others did the same as they made their way to the club, joking along with each other
