"Hey",a voice said at her back startling her .
She jumped suddenly turning to her back to check who it was.
"Fred", katherine said surprised.
"You scared me ",she added touching her chest.
"Sorry",he apologized grinning heavily.
Since the day she bumped into him with sergio,they have been let's say cool to each other.
"Sergio?",he asked looking around.
She and sergio are together most of the times,but since he got himself a girlfriend he have been spending more time with her.
"Certainly with his girlfriend Avalon",she replied.
She have been alone most times now ,she got no friend actually and is always with sergio.
But the dude got himself a girlfriend.
"Alone?",he said chuckling.
"Obviously", she replied and they both laughed.
"I was heading to the cafeteria,do you mind going together?",he said and she smiled.
"I don't ,I was heading there too",she replied and they both walked to the cafeteria together.
After getting their choice of food,they saw an empty table and settled there.
"Never knew sergio could have a side like that,he always have this nasty scowl on his face and pick on people when he got the chance,",Alfred begin as they digged into their food.
"He is such a bully,even when we were in middle school",kate said and Alfred was surprised.
"You went to the same middle school??",he asked and she nodded.
"He once bully me ,but i put him in his place",kate said as she smiled.
"You changed him ?",fred said and he stared at him taken aback.
"What?",she said surprised.
"I said you changed him,since your both became step siblings and got close,he practically changed",fred said and she almost choked .
"That is not true",she said .
"It is true kate, sergio was a lonley guy,he doesn't have friends not after you became friends and siblings.",fred said and she chuckled nervously.
"One may think you are into each other with the way you are always around each other",fred added and she smiled.
"He won't give me my space",kate said.
"You were the first friend he ever had",fred said and she sighed.
"Gio is a nice person"she said .
"I heard my name just now,are you two gossiping about me?", sergio said appearing at the back before sitting .
"We aren't talking about you", katherine denied slapping his hands away from her food.
"Stop it Gio,you should get yours too",kate frowned but he managed he taking some,pushing it into his mouth.
"Where is Avalon",kate asked .
"She is getting our food",sergio replied dipping his hands in her food again.
She didn't bother slapping his hands away this time.
"Hey guys ", Avalon said as she dropped the tray on the table before sitting side fred.
"Hi",kate greeted and so as fred.
Sergio dragged his tray to himself immediately before digging into his food hungrily.
"You eat like a goat Gio",kate said and they all laughed out loud earning stares from the some students in the cafeteria.
"Sergio is such a foodie,he devoured all of my snacks this morning",Ava said and they laughed.
"And can you believe he ate a mountain of food this morning before we coming to school",kate said and thay all laughed making sergio to choke almost spitting out the food in his mouth.
"What Kathy"he whined and they all laughed.
"Kathy",fred and Ava said in unison obviously surprised at the weird name.
""You call her that", Avalon said trying hard not to laugh.
"Yes",sergio replied winking at kate who buried her head on her food in embarrassment.
"And she call him Gio too",fred said and Ava chuckled.
"Isn't it cute?"sergio asked and the laughed.
Katherine shot him a glare and he winked at her back.
*******
Yvonne insert the key to the door as she open the door.
She step into the house before closing the door behind her.
The first thing her eyes met with is her photo frame with philip, they were both smiling happily in the picture.
She looked round the house,her heart ached in hurt as the memories of her philip and their daughter katherine filled her mind and thoughts.
She is currently in their house,she is planning on renting the house so she came to pack some of their stuff which is still there.
She blinked back the tears burning at the back of her eyes , would she ever move on?
That is how much she loves him.
Until now she just don't wants to believe philip is gone even though she is married to Matt.
Sometimes she feels like everything should just be a dream,that her Phillip and katherine is still a big happy family.
But it is all her mere wishes which will never come to pass.
She moved to their room as she begin to pack all of their remaining stuffs.
She packed all of philp's clothe in one bag ,having the intention to get rid of it.
As she made to pack all of his files in his drawer,she sighted a USB in the drawer.
She checked the USB properly wondering what was in it before inserting it in her left pocket.
She will have to check what was in there later in the day, right now she have to pack everything.
