A/N: Hi Everyone! This is my first story. I've read FSoG fanfic for the past two years and I want to try and write one. I am doing this for fun so constructive criticism will be appreciated but mean comments will be ignored. PLEASE ENJOY!
Summary:
Entering Harvard all alone, Ana must learn to embrace her own self without the help of Kate. Their friendship is tested while separated in college. Will Ana be able to face all the drama in her life?
This is an Ana and Christian story, although I will be emphasizing quite a bit about Ana and Kate's relationship as well. It is a journey of Ana in finding herself and not to lose herself to please someone else.
SIDE NOTE: ALL MISTAKES ARE MINE. I do not live in the States. I am in an entirely different continent. So I am just going to use my wildest imagination while writing this story. I do try to do some research regarding some facts. If there is any mistake concerning certain facts, then just pretend it exist ;)
DISCLAIMER: All characters belong to the awesome E.L. James.
PROLOGUE
Somebody asked me if I knew her. A million memories flashed through my mind but I just smiled and said I used to – unknown
28th October 2016
The thunderstorm struck Seattle the whole afternoon and for once Ana welcome the gloomy weather. She sat on the cushy sofa in the library while holding a cup of tea watching the rain pouring right outside the penthouse. The perfect day to end the most precious friendship she had so far. She had spent 16 years of her life trying to be considerate and understanding to her one special friend that she thought is the best for being her friends when no one else seems to like her.
Kate and her is really the exact opposite. They say opposite attracts. What they didn't tell you is that the shit they bring is also equally exhausting as well as the good memories that was collected over their friendship. It was a price she needs to pay to have Kate in her live is what Ana convinced herself for the last 4 years of their friendship.
The last few years Kate was frustrating. The last few months were downright excruciating to even be in a room for a long period of time together.
With Kate, you can already guess her problems before the problem even came. It was either boys or her commitment in doing anything.
Kate, with her beautiful long and wavy strawberry blonde hair, curvy body, C-cup boobs and one desirable – sized ass, attracts men from different direction. She has them waiting in line and if she was done with one she will pick another one. Mrs. Kavanagh makes sure that her daughter is groomed properly to snag an eligible bachelor once she graduated from Boston University.
It all started when both friends applied for the same university. They dreamed to get into Harvard University together, but only one got in. That person was Ana. Although the both of them got accepted to Boston University, another alternative they applied, Kate convinced Ana to accept Harvard's offer since she told Ana it is "once in a life time chance". There was a nag feeling inside of Ana to refuse the offer and instead go to Boston University with Kate, but she is very convincing and so the both of them walk the different path. It was a bad idea from the beginning, but Kate insisted that Ana would be phenomenal even if they are not together. They promised that they will graduate together in 4 years and moved back to Seattle together.
Kate was not wrong about Ana being phenomenal. Ana admitted that she is one of the best selling author right now even when she just graduated. She had sold millions of copies of her fictional fantasy story in the last year and is in the process of publishing the second installment of the series. Her life couldn't be more perfect, if only her "best friend" would stop being such an overly jealous bitch over her achievements and most importantly having the most perfect boyfriend in the entire world.
That was another problem. Kate never sugarcoat her dislike toward her boyfriend, Christian Grey. He was 3 years her senior and now a self-made multi-billionaire CEO of Grey Enterprise Holdings. Its not that Kate hate Christian, Ana had the suspicion that Kate want him for herself. She caught her flirting with Christian numerous times. She brushed it off as a friendly gesture.
Christian on the other hand, had voiced out countless of times how Kate was not a good person in the inside and wanted her to separate from Kate for good. Ana felt that it was not fair for her to just let Kate go especially when she already broke one of their promises of going to university together. Well technically she didn't break the promise, but the point is that she went to their dream university and her ex – best friend did not.
The last fight between her and Kate had made Ana see things clearly and decided it is time to end this so called friendship. Karma is a sweet bitch, and Ana hoped Kate would get what she deserved. Finally free, Ana made a new resolve to focus on her life with positive things such as her career, family, and most of all her Christian.
