Chapter 1

Year 2005

Sulli’s eyes are widening. She’s stunned…can’t speak for seconds and just stared at the letter in front of her.

Luna entered the High school paper’s office.

“Well…I already got the article about the ‘most borrowed books’ from the library. I sure gave the librarian a hard time to provide this information.” Said Luna

Luna noticed Sulli just staring at the paper and gestured to Key who was then also just staring at Sulli’s shocked reaction

“Don’t ask me…I don’t know. When I entered, she’s already like that.” Said Key

Luna took a deep breath and went in front of Sulli pulling the paper from Sulli’s hand slightly away

“No! Don’t do that!” said Sulli

“Now I got your attention.” Said Luna.

“What’s up with that letter? You’ve been staring at that like…hours and with that ‘I made it to American Idol’ reaction too.” Said Key

Sulli can’t contain it already, she pulled Key  and Luna and hugged them both jumping.

“Wahhhhh!!! I have the best news ever!!!” said Sulli

“Ok…can you share it with us so that we can contribute to the ‘jumping with joy’ moment?” asked Key

Sulli stopped jumping and tried to control herself.

“We made it. The LUCEAT Bulletin did it! Remember I sent the last issue of our school paper to a competition?” said Sulli

“The Korean Peabody Awards?” asked Luna

“The biggest Award giving body for news and public affairs for the entire country?” asked Key

“Yeah yeah! So they had the new category on Student papers. They want to choose the best student paper in the entire country. And I sent our last issue for the qualifying round and that letter” Sulli had to stop to breath.

“The letter tells us that we made it to the qualifiers! We need to submit our next issue for the semi finals!” said Sulli excitedly

“WoW!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Luna shouted

Luna hugged Sulli jumping with joy “We did it! You are so great Sulli!”

Key just laughed looking at the 2 closest friends he has in the world looking all crazy.

“Now we need to call everyone for a meeting. We need to make sure everything is in order. We need to polish everything. We have a week left to change whatever needs to be updated.” Said Sulli in a firm voice

Oh no…Monster Editor in Chief has now possessed Sulli’s body

Key can only shake his head. This will surely bring stress to all the members of “The LUCEAT Bulletin”. Sulli is a perfectionist…everybody will be driven mad.

“So I already got the top 10 books being borrowed from the library.” Said Luna

“Let  me see.” Sulli looked at the list…Sulli’s brows are close together while doing her analysis on the list. It made Luna gulp at Sulli’s scrutiny.

 “No..this is not interesting at all…history books? Science books? People only read this because we are forced to…but this is not what we want to tell our readers. We want to show them what people like borrowing…The key word is LIKE. What they really want to read. So go to the fiction section. Get the most borrowed book from that section only. We need the article tonight. Can you do that?” asked Sulli

Luna had to blink 3 times…Wow…in a split second she went from the happy Sulli to the strict Perfectionist Editor in Chief!

“Umm…I’ll go to the library now.” Said Luna “I might still be able to talk with the librarian who gave me the list earlier.” Said Luna

“I am sooo excited!” Sulli said running out!

“Wow…this looks like it’s gonna be a lot of work.” Said Key

“Sure look so.” Said Luna

------------------------

Sulli went to the back of the school in front of the field. She leaned on the big tree and closed her eyes as the wind blew on her face.

Ahhh….it feels so good…so relaxing…

 “Yes, work work work! Everything has to be done on time…everything has to be perfect!” thought Sulli

Sulli started to list all the things that has to be done in her mind…Key’s article on the sports team has already been submitted, but she needs an article on the star player of the football team. The article about the latest trend on women accessories in the school has to go away. She needs to replace that by a literary piece to show case the talent of the school. And then she needs to check if  the drawings are already done for the editorial section. And she also needs to ask the artist to make a painting…she needs to put that on another portion of the paper.

Sulli opened her eyes.  “Yes!!! We can do this!” shouted Sulli

All her effort to make the school paper shine not only in their University but the entire Korea is at hand.

“I am wonderful! I am sooo wonderful!!!” shouted Sulli

Yes! She can do this! LUCEAT will definitely win!

--------------------

Sulli went back to the LUCEAT office and saw Key with a worried expression.

“What’s up? Oh, Key we need to adjust your article on the sports team, I want to highlight some portions about the star player…..”said Sulli…But why is her Asst. Editor in Chief so worried…Key keeps looking at the window and has that impatient look in his face.

“Hey…you don’t feel comfortable with the article adjustments I need?” asked Sulli

“No Sulli..that’s not the problem…I can just interview the star player later…but we have a bigger problem than that.” Said Key

“What is it? Is there anything we haven’t resol
