FLASHBACK (8)

Kate was now a happy little girl always, or acting like one. She came to her school the next day and met Susie.

"SUSIE!!!!!! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED!!!!"

"Chill out girl! What happened?"

"Well...."

"Come on now stop acting shy! You were literally bouncing a few seconds ago! What's up with the sudden change in behavior?"

"Ummm.... Don't freak out okay?"

"Okay girl now you are scaring me. What did you do?"

"Nothing like that..... Well not a big deal. Just that I am not single anymore"

"Oh, that's it. Okay then"

"Wait a minute. WHAT DID YOU SAY??! WHAT THE F**K????? DID YOU JUST SAY THAT YOU ARE NOT SINGLE ANYMORE!!?? WHAT THE HELL!!?? WHO!?? WHEN ? WHERE !? HOW!??? DON'T TELL ME IT'S BRANDON!! OH MY GOD. NOO!!!!!"

"Calm down Susie! You'll let the entire school know!!!! And NO IT'S NOT BRANDON. I knew you would react this way. You dumbo."

"How else do you expect me to react? Knowing you , it sure can't be a normal guy!! Tell me quick who is it? How did you meet him, how does he look like? Is he in our school or some other school or college? Is he hot? "

"Wait wait I can answer your questions one by one only! But I have a simple answer to all those. If I tell you the guy's name you'll get all your questions answered."

"Then tell me! Who is it?"

Kate tousles her hair a bit.

"It's.... Ken"

"Ken? Who is that? I don't remember meeting any Ken"

"Susie....."

"What?"

"Ashton Ken"

"WHAT THE HELL?!!!! OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! WERE YOU GUYS HOOKING UP BEHIND MY BACK??? EWWWW YOU GUYS ARE GROSS!! AND HOW COULD YOU NOT TELL ME!! AND DIDN'T YOU SAY THAT HE'S NOT YOUR TYPE? WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT!?"

"Firstly stop being so loud! And well.. I realized that he is my type."

"Oh gosh! Wait, give me a moment to calm down"

"So you and Ashton are dating. Since when? How did it start? "

Kate told her the entire story including the part that Ashton didn't live in Kate's house's direction and yet he would lie just to walk her home. On hearing this, Susie became a bit disturbed. She had been to Ashton's house many times and it was in Kate's direction only. Then why would Kate say that he lived in the other direction and she saw him go to the other direction after dropping her everyday? Had Ashton changed his house?

"Hey Susie! The story is over! What are you thinking about?" Kate said when she saw Susie standing there in a daze.

"Umm yeah? Oh yeah. Well girl! Finally you are no longer single. And here I am dying alone "

"You'll get an amazing guy Susie, relax"

"Oh yeah? Then why don't you give Ashton to me?"

"Come on Su, don't joke around like that, you idiot. If someone else would have heard that they would have definitely thought that you were not lying and were jealous of me"

"Yeah, sorry it was a bad joke" Susie said with a weird expression
