Leeseo is your bitter academic rival, constantly fighting with her for the top spot in your university. Despite constantly bickering and arguing, both of you hide a mutual secret at school that only the two of you must know.
“Don’t tell me you’re ranked second again?”
The girl next to you goes completely still. Her tight expression poses a sharp contrast to the smug grin she wore just moments ago, right before you pointed it out on the bulletin board. You beat her, yet again. Knowing that the results are out there for everyone to see only widens the smirk on your face, and you want nothing more than to rub it in for good measure.
“Tch, professor’s pet.” She turns toward you, staring daggers as you continue teasing her. You swear you could feel her killing intent from a mile away, but you don’t yield. You never do.
“Woah, running out of excuses already? Don’t blame the professors for your shortcomings, darling.” You tease, leaning in close to challenge her. She rolls her eyes at what you said before pulling you by your necktie.
“Yuck, don’t call me darling, you freak. I swear to god, next semester, I’ll be the number one student and the top “Lee” in this school.” She releases your tie and flings her hair over her shoulder like she’s inside a Cream Silk commercial, composing herself on the spot.
“Alright, bet. If you’re so confident, darling, how about we spice things up? Maybe we could settle this with a little challenge, hm?” you say, already knowing that this would be an easy win for you. After all, you’ve done this several times before, nothing new now.
“Deal. If I win, you have to acknowledge me as your superior every single day, and you’ll wear a banana suit to our graduation ball.” She sets down her conditions, fully confident that she’ll beat you this time. “Now, how about you? What do you want?”
You lean in to whisper your conditions, leaving her visibly flustered. “Seriously? Is that all that you want? Fine. I’ll give it to you if you win.” She turns her back on you and walks off, head held high as if she just didn’t lose her cool.
As you watch her retreat down the hallway, you can’t help but think about how similar you two actually are, despite all the bickering. Just like you, she’s driven by this undying urge to prove that she’s second to none, and you are the only person standing in her way to the top spot. Unfortunately for her though, you aren’t about to give it up so easily. Especially when seeing her all flustered like this is a high you can’t get anywhere else.
