I Loved You You Changed Me - Volume 2

And the topper for this time is…..

“We all know it’s going to be Kate. There’s no suspense. No one can compete with her.”

“Yeah that’s true. I wonder how she manages to do it. I have never seen her study. Most of the time she sleeps in the class.”

“Yeah, and even the professors don’t say anything to her.”

“That’s because she always tops.”

“Quiet. Everyone!… Yes the topper is Kate again!”

Kate comes forward and receives her certificate and report card. She bows down as a form of respect and goes back to her seat.

Kate was now 18 years old. Well actually 18 and a half. And she was in second year of her college at Yen university. She skipped an year after writing a special exam. So she was a sophomore right now. She had always topped her cyclic examinations and now her semester exams. A lot of people were jealous of her, not only because of her brains but also because of her beauty. She wasn’t skinny like those dead looking models on TV nor was she fat. She had just the perfect face with a sharp jawline. Her lips were plump which made her look cute and seductive at the same time. She had fat at all the right places. Her skin was flawless just like a piece of jade. Her body had also turned out very well. She also maintained it by going to the gym and working out at home.

As for her team, they were at her new apartment in California itself. She was all alone in Japan. That’s what she thought. Her mother never called her. She would just call her once a month, probably to tell her that she was still alive.

She had only one friend in college called Mimi. She was the only one she would talk to. Kate had become an introvert. She barely spoke. Most of the times, she would listen to Mimi speaking for hours. For Mimi never minded it. She had gotten used to Kate and her habits. She liked Kate as she was simple and quite straightforward and not like other bitches and gossip monger’s.

In the college Kate used to sleep the entire day. The college demanded mandatory attendance, so she had to attend it. At night she would perfect the codes in a program she and her team were developing. She would also do part time jobs at several places to hide the actual source of money in her account. Her main source was – the black market. On weekends, she would go to have lunch with Mimi.

Mimi knew Kate was busy and hence aloof but she also felt quite bad for her. She had no one in her life. Her house also looked as if no one lived there. Only the bare minimum’s like a refrigerator, a washing machine, a dish washer, some cutlery and other basic kitchen things were present.The only thing that kept that place alive was Moon – Kate’s cat. The one thing that surprised Mimi the most when she came to Kate’s house for the first time was the number of books she had. She had a hall full of books. She had converted it to a library. There were books of every genre… except romance. When Susie asked Kate the reason, she simply said she didn’t believe in love.

Kate had changed a lot after Susie’s death. No one had ever seen her crying, even in the toughest of situations. She had kept her promise to Susie. She wanted to focus on completing her and Susie’s dreams. And she would do anything to achieve them.
