I'm at this resort/conference. I have all the money that I've collected during the day, and I'm sorting it out. This guy comes up to me and asks if I have any change. I'm sitting at a round table and I hover over he coins and tell him no. I'm protective and defensive.
Later, these rich preppy girls arrive and they sit at the table I just left. I notice something I had left under the table, and quickly grab it before they get all sat down. The alpha girl all of a sudden flips out on me, saying that I touched her foot. I feel sort of like a hermit, and her 'popular' look makes me uncomfortable. I snap at her and then sulk off, coveting the currency I am carrying.
I'm very annoyed by what the girls did, and as I'm walking back to my room, I pass through this open market, that is also the classrooms.
I'm taken back, in a good way, by the woodworking teacher's tent. There are furs, belts and intricate crafts all over the place. In the background, the popular girls are degrading it, and I just walk on through. I get to my room and Betsy, plus some other people are there. I tell Betsy what happened with the girls, and she gets an idea.
Later we stumble into the laundry room. Betsy goes in, bites the foot of the girl who yelled at me, and then bolts, with all of us laughing. That night, I meet the popular girls at the woodworking tent. They release the teacher's prized pet lizard; it's bright yellow all over, has a rounded diamond shaped head and a thicker paddle like tail. The lizard crawls on me for awhile, and then it finally bites my finger. The girls all laugh hard at me while the lizard is crawling on me.
The next morning I go to the teacher and tattle on the girls, informing him that they had messed with his pet lizard. The teacher goes off on the girls in front of everyone, and I smirk with content.
