Chapter Text
After going through the hectic hell that was registering for classes and getting her room number Kitty finally had her keys and was ready to head to her room. As she walked through the halls of the school, she couldn’t help but notice 1. How freakishly big the school was, and 2. How sterile everything smelled. In America, scents would mix in the hall. Yet, in Korea, everything was sterile. It was slightly jarring after years of being assaulted on all fronts especially during those middle school years when everyone was presenting and didn’t know how to control their scents.
As Kitty swung open the door to her room, she noticed 2 beds, one slightly rumpled with several suitcases sitting next to it and one fresh bed, completely untouched. Kitty rolled her single suitcase over to the untouched bed and proceeded to faceplant directly into the bed.
She knew that she should probably start unpacking but she was so tired, sue her for wanting some rest. She had already had an eventful day, taking the 14 hour flight to Korea, getting lost, getting hit by a car, meeting a slightly intimidating, very pretty, alpha, wait. Very pretty? Well, pretty in an objective sense you know. Pretty in the way that a sunset is pretty. Or pretty in the way that an actress like Zendaya is objectively pretty. Not pretty in the way that her boyfriend is, of course. Speaking of her boyfriend she should probably get ready for the welcome dance…which is what she’ll be doing…right…after…she…gets…up…

Kitty woke up a few hours completely disoriented with the room much darker than it had been earlier. Kitty at least felt better than when she first landed, with enough energy to be able to enjoy seeing her boyfriend at the welcome dance. Wait. Shit. The welcome dance.
Kitty leapt out of bed, rummaging through her suitcase to pull out her dress and rushing into the bathroom to do her makeup. In the bathroom she noticed a silk robe and an entire counter full of skincare products, I guess it made sense with how much emphasis there was on Korean skincare. Kitty quickly threw on her dress and did her eyeliner, throwing her hair up as she rushed to get ready. She opened the fridge door to find something to drink before she left only to be met with several bottles of collagen water, weird. It was probably her roommate’s but there was literally nothing to drink, it’s fine, she’s sure her roommate wouldn’t mind if she drank one bottle, and she’d replace it later anyways.
In record time she managed to finish her full routine and rush to the main hall where the dance was being held. As she stepped through the doors, the bass of the music thumped through the floors and slightly shook her frame as she walked. In the dim lighting she could barely make out the faces of the people she passed.
In all the commotion she did end up running into two of Dae’s friends. Minho and Q. Dae had talked about them for, the overconfident and slightly rude alpha who she had actually run into at the airport and the funny and kind omega that she’d instantly connected with. As they talked she suddenly heard “where did Dae get that suit?”
As she turned, for the first time in over a year, she laid her eyes on Dae. Dae, her boyfriend, her omega, her entire reason for coming to K.I.S.S. was standing across from her in a suit. A smile broke-out onto her face as she rushed towards him.
“What are you doing here?”
“I transferred to K.I.S.S.” Kitty beamed as she took in the omega in front of her. Dae looked great in his suit, though it was slightly strange to not be able to smell his scent, mint and apple mixed together.
“Uh, wait, Kitty. I need to tell you something,”
Kitty heard the clacking of heels and she turned to see Yuri. The beautiful yet scary, or perhaps a better adjective would be scarily beautiful, alpha from the car in a pink dress strutting over.
As Yuri wrapped her arm around Dae’s arm, Kitty felt her alpha flare up with indignation though she suppressed the urge to bare her teeth at Yuri. “Kitty? This is Dae. My boyfriend.”
Then Yuri had the audacity to smile at her like she wasn’t destroying her entire world. The day had been too much, the plane ride, getting hit by a car, meeting Yuri, seeing Dae, finding out Dae had a girlfriend, an alpha, that wasn’t her. It was all too much.
Kitty felt the tears well up as she stormed out of the hall, ignoring Dae. The cheater that he was. Ignoring the jealousy that flared up in her as Yuri snaked an arm around his waist. Maybe even ignoring that treacherous voice in her head that questioned whether she was jealous of Yuri…or jealous of Dae.
