Living in China changed her.
Those words followed Kimiko everywhere since she got back to Tokyo. Her father understood and accepted her, but none of the people she once considered friends wanted to be around her anymore.
She was different now. She didn't party. Didn't care that So-And-So dumped What's-Her-Face. Didn't date the cute guys who asked her out. Didn't smile. Didn't do anything, other then training, studying and working. She wasn't any fun anymore.
Kimiko didn't care what they said, though. She didn't need their drama.
