      Can't really believe that's it's already been four years. Yea, it's been a long time away from the place I grew up in. It was a town full of opportunities though. It was a big town at the very border of US and Canada. We were part of Canada, how? Don't ask me, the world's weird in every way! Oh, by the way, I'm Calvin Gomes.

    As soon as my friend's and I hit 18 our fathers handed over the business to us. I don't understand why? I mean we still had university to complete but no!
 
    They had to give us the company when we were 18 and had just graduated. It was really hard at first but we got used to it. Expanded it further and made it bigger. Of course, we still attend college, we have tutors come home and teach us the subjects we would have been learning in college right now.
 
My two best friends, Ishal Mévouries and Tarun Miracle, we merged the three companies turning it into a whole new empire. We studied together and have been friends since fifth grade. Yea, it's one hell of a life but it's been good.
   
     I'm sitting in my office when my two idiot best friends walk in; wait, did I say walk in? More like barge in. They were grinning like they just found out that they had landed a date with their celebrity crush.

    I, honestly have nothing to compare their grins with, they had this mischief filled Cheshire Cat grin that you know, it's either they got what they wanted or they were upto no good. Anyways, they came in and sat on the couch.

   "Come in." I said dryly
 
   "We're all going back home soon." Ishal said
 
  "I'm so excited. I'm going to be with Kitty again! It's gonna be so fun and crazy!" Tarun gushed
 
   "Most of the time, all you do is gush and gush about your amazing Kitty and we don't even know her real name." I said

    "She is amazing, crazy and so adorable." Tarun said, his eyes sparkling with mischief
 
    "Which reminds me, how is Kitty really doing? I miss her too." Ishal said facing his black haired, blue-eyed best friend, Tarun

    "You know Kitty too?" I asked

  "Yep." Ishal said popping the 'p'
   
      "She's doing good. Crazy as ever. Juniors and Seniors got the school to open up in June for bonding before getting new recruits." Tarun said
 
  "She's still crazy. She has changed a lot though." Ishal commented

  "Not really. Don't you remember, she was like this before she went through the introvert phase?" Tarun pointed out

       "Oh, yeah! She loved the spotlight, still does, I guess." Ishal said reminiscing
 
  "Yea, she does. Enjoys being the center of attention. She's the best in school, in everything." Tarun said

   "Does she still play?" Ishal asked

     "Weren't you listening when I said she's the best in everything?" Tarun retorted

  "It's gonna be fun to go back." Ishal said
 
  "It is. The only thing, I'm not looking forward to is seeing that bitch." I said taking a seat in his chair
 
   "For someone you hate, you do love talking about her." Tarun mused
 
  "Stop your gibberish. What are you trying to say?" I scowled
 
    "Nothing, Calvin. He was just stating the truth. You do talk about her a lot." Ishal said
 
  "Could've fooled me." I muttered

  "You make that quote sound so true." Ishal mused

    "Which quote?" I asked leaning forward

  "Love me, hate me. Either works. If you hate me, I'll always be on your mind. If you love me, I'll always stay in your heart." Tarun quoted

    "Who said this?" I asked

       "Shakespeare, I think." Ishal answered

   "Whatever. It's stupid." I said rolling my eyes
