Kitty Covey: From Rom-Com Queen to Public Enemy No. 1 (Well, Kinda)
We all know Kitty Covey, the effervescent, meme-generating whirlwind from the "To All the Boys I've Loved Before" universe. But did you know she once had a secret identity that would make even Jason Bourne blush? That's right, folks, I'm talking about the legendary (and slightly terrifying) Portland Stalker.
How Did Kitty Get The Name Portland Stalker |
From Cupcake Catastrophe to Nickname Nightmare
Let's rewind to Kitty's freshman year at posh Oakham Academy in Seoul. New school, new crushes, new opportunities for hilarious disaster. Enter Dae, the seemingly perfect Korean dreamboat who Kitty instantly falls for. Unfortunately, Dae wasn't as smitten, and things took a turn for the tragic (and cupcake-filled) when Kitty discovered him two-timing her with another girl.
Now, Kitty's a fighter, not a quitter. But fueled by heartbreak and a questionable amount of sugar, she decided to confront Dae... publicly. Unfortunately, "publicly" in this case meant crashing the school bake sale and sending a tower of cupcakes flying in a scene that would make Willy Wonka weep.
QuickTip: Skim fast, then return for detail.
It was a dramatic entrance, to be sure. But the real kicker? Everyone, including Dae and his new squeeze, Yuri, managed to dodge the sugary shrapnel. Except, of course, for the poor unsuspecting freshman who just wanted a blueberry muffin.
That's how Kitty Covey, the girl next door with a penchant for pink, became known throughout Oakham as the Portland Stalker (a nod to her American roots, we presume).
QuickTip: Read step by step, not all at once.
Living with the Legacy: From Stalker to Soulmate
Let's be honest, the "Portland Stalker" moniker isn't exactly the reputation Kitty was going for. But hey, sometimes nicknames stick, even the embarrassing ones. Thankfully, Kitty learned to laugh at herself (eventually) and even embraced the absurdity of it all.
More importantly, the cupcake incident (and the nickname that followed) paved the way for a hilarious and heartwarming journey for Kitty. It led her to forge new friendships, embrace her individuality, and eventually find her own happily ever after (looking at you, Min Ho!).
Tip: The middle often holds the main point.
So, the next time you see Kitty rocking a sequined dress and belting out a karaoke power ballad, remember: beneath the glitter and sass lies a girl who once earned the title of "Portland Stalker" all in the name of love (and revenge... mostly revenge).
