Chapter 12 - Chapter Eleven.

Katherine groaned annoyingly as she walked towards the school gate,she can't believe sergio dumped her for his date with Avalon without even informing her.

Now she is left to go home all alone.

She hissed angrily as she walked down the gate.

"Hey katherine",a voice called and she frowned as she looked at her back where the voice came from.

The frown on her face evaporated away when she sighed Alfred waving and running towards her direction.

"Hi,fred ",she said as soon as he got closer to her.

"Wassup kate, going home already?",he asked smiling sheepishly.

"Yes, obviously",she said not wanting to roll her eyes at his dumb question.

"I can drive you home if you want ",he said.

"You have a car,I did not know",kate said surprised.

"Yes,so do you mind ?",he asked again and she smiled.

"No i don't mind,",she replied.

"I wi have to keep this money I wanted to use to take the cab",she said smiling and he chuckled.

Did you think she is going to say no?Lol

Why would she not let him drop her home,It is not like she begged him to do it or anything.

"Okay the way to your car",she said and he paved way for her, pointing to the direction they are going.

Katherine awed as she sighted the car,how can a high school boy be using such car?

Is it boy or is it guy ?or man?

Anyone actually, but the car is so stunning.

She felt like sleeping on it,he must be some sort of rich man kid.

"You gat a nice car",she complimented and he chuckled lightly.

"Thanks",he said and they hopped into the car, buckling their seat belt immediately they got in before he ignited the car and move out of the school compound.

"Wait..",kate said something dawning at her.

"What",he asked as he tapped his hand rhythmically on the steering .

"How come you were able to pack your car at the teachers garage",she asked curiously her eyes nibbling.

"That is for you to find out princess",he said smirking at her.

Princess?,did he just say princess?

She thought trying so hard not to blush,but she failed woefully.

Her cheek turned pink slightly.

"Princess?That is lame",she scoffed looking away and he chuckled.

"That hurts much princess",he said touching his chest as if in he is in pain.

"I don't know you have this side of you",she said amazed of this new behavior of his.

"Really?then we have to get to know each other the more",he said grinning.

"Whatever",she rolled her eyes.

"So princess what is your say?",he said cockily .

"Don't call me that",she said wanting her voice to sound harsh ,but it wasn't even half of it.

"Just admit it ,you love it ",he said and she scoffed.

"I thought you don't talk much ,like you are a gentle soul ",she said and he grinned .

"Like a dove"he said playfully and she chuckled.

"Yh dove",she said sarcasm filled her tone.

The car stopped suddenly, taking her off guard .

She checked and it dawned on her that they have gotten to her home already.

"Thanks",she said unbuckling her seat belt before opening the door.

"You are always welcome princess",he said and she rolled her eyes.

As she attempt to close the door, something came to her mind and she stopped.

"What princess",he said smirking knowing what she wanted to say.

"How did you know my house?From what I can remember I didn't show you the way here,how come?",she said frowning and he grinned heavily.

"Maybe I did my research",he said a grin on his face as he played with his hair, curling it round his fingers.

"Research??when did you become a scientist or should I say a detective??I can't believe you are a stalker",she said frowning wanting to slap the stupid smirk off his handsome face.

"Wait ??wait??Did she just say handsome??.,kate thought catching her own thoughts.

"That hurts princess",he said touching his chest .

"I can't believe you are stalkish fred,like you are a stalker",kate said dramatically.

"And stop calling me princess okay",she warned and he grinned.

"You are my princess",he said and a blush crept to her cheeks.

No no,she won't blush for this idiot.

She thought as she docked her head slightly to her side not wanting him to see her heated cheeks.

"Was is that on your cheeks princess"fred said pointinly .

"You are blushing",he said his jaw dropping.

"No I'm.not",she denied

"Yes you are princess",he said and she groaned annoyingly.

Then the argument started.

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes"

"I said no"

"And I said yes princess"

"No"

"Yes"

"N-,no,wait why am I even in an argument with you",she said slamming the door shut before walking away.

"Good night princess,you should dream about me",he shouted after her and she shaked her head unbelievably.

What an idiot!!.

"Hey Kathy I am sorry,are you still mad at me",sergio pleaded as they were both doing the dishes in the kitchen.

Yvonne couldn't join,she complained of fatigue and she is in her room resting.

No response.

"Kathy come on",sergio said ,but she didn't reply.

She just stretched to him the plate she washed for him to rinse and arrange.

He collected the plate then moved towards her.

"Kathy I am sorry,you see I and Ava haven't gone for our first date so we just planned it all of a sudden",he explained holding her shoulder.

"You should have informed me",she said .

"I am not mad that you went on a date with your girlfriend,I am just mad at a boy called Alfred",she blurted out.

"Alfred?",he asked surprisingly.

"What did he do?",he questioned.

"He just keep getting on my nerves,I can't believe I even allowed him to give me a ride",she said and sergio looked amazed.

"He gave you a ride home?",he asked smiling.

"I thought he was easy going,but i was wrong,you have to see this side of him Gio,he is so cocky",she said an sergio burst into laughter.

"So that was why you were all moody ",he asked chuckling.

"He was annoying me throughout the ride",she frowned.

Sergio burst into a hearty laugh as he held his hurting stomach from how Intense the laugh was.

"What is funny",she asked .

"You,you need to see your face",he laughed.

"It felt as if you were going to muder someone",he said regaining his posture.

"Whatever",she rolled her eyes before turning back to the plate.

"So how was your date?",she said and he begin to give her all of the gist.

******

Katherine looked up from her assignments to her door which was opened by someone.

Her and sergio are through with the dishes and they both retired to their various room.

"Mom,Are you okay now ?", katherine asked her mom immediately yvonne entered her room.

"I am fine ,it is not a big deal,just a slight headache",she replied walking towards her daughter's bed.

"Are you sure ?",she asked again and she nodded smiling.

"How was school my dear",she asked sitting on her bed .

"Fine ",she replied smiling at her mother.

"I hope it isn't much tiring,I thought you would be asleep by now, because I went to sergio's room first and he was all spranged on his bed snoring badly",she said and they both laughed.

"It was like he did an hefty work today,he looks so stressed and finished,I had to cover him properly with his duvet and turn off his light", yvonne saud smiling.

"Maybe he really is tired ,Gio is a lazy boy",kate said and they both laughed.

Yvonne stared at he daughter who is the exact replica of her Father.

"I missed you mommy",kate said and yvonne smiled

She pulled her into her arms.

"I missed you too my baby,I love you so much", yvonne said.

"And I love you more mom",kate replied smiling.
