Eye Contact || itzy

Day 1

"What are you doing?" A voice snapped me out of my studies. I raised my head and locked eyes with a female, lazily leaning over the table I was hunched over in the ancient library of the academy for supernaturals I was currently attending. Furry orange triangular ears extended out of her flaxen hair and her long tail, coated in a mixture of white and orange, similar to an orange milkshake, swept across my work knocking over a couple of pens onto the floor. Her amber eyes were slitted like a feline. She didn't seem very familiar...
"Studying." I answered curtly, focusing on my text book laid out in front of me. "Are you new? I've never seen you before." I slightly felt horrible for the curt answer I had given her. I didn't want to hurt her feelings. She gave a cute tinkling laugh.
"Nope." she answered, letting the 'p' pop. I furrowed my forehead. Then why have I never noticed her before? "Oh come on Chaeryeong." She purred. "You really don't recognize me?" My eyes widened at the sound of my name. I brought my head up to give eye contact again.
"How do you know my name?" I stuttered out in surprise.
"Pft, everyone knows your name. You're like, famous on campus." She rolled her eyes.
"I am what?!" My mouth hung open in disbelief. This was the first. I thought nobody cared nor liked me. No one ever talks to me.
"No one talks to you because they all idolize you. Would you be able to talk to someone who you idolize?" She stated matter of factly. I stare at her. Did she just read my mind?
"My name is Yeji, by the way." She smirked and leapt gracefully of the table. "See you around cutie." She waved and sauntered away.
