Tangled Hearts

Chapter 11

As Kathrine walked to university the next day, she stopped by a convenience store to grab a few treats for her friends. She picked up a box of chocolates for the trio

Katherine walked into the room, carrying a box of chocolates. "Hey guys! I brought some chocolates to share. I wanted to thank you for making my day yesterday. I was feeling really low, and you all managed to make me laugh and forget about my worries."

Nicholas's eyes lit up. "Chocolates? Aww, thankyou baby girl."

Ethan grinned. "Thanks, Kat. We're happy to help. Although, I'm pretty sure Nicholas here was the real hero yesterday."

Katherine handed out the chocolates, and they all dug in, savoring the sweet treats.

"So, what's the plan for today?" Nicholas asked, his mouth full of chocolate.

Katherine shrugged. "I don't know. I was thinking to go and get my class"

Ethan suggested, "How about we play some games?

Noah nodded. "I'm in the mood for winning."

Katherine laughed. "This should be interesting.

Nicholas grinned. "You're on. But don't expect any mercy from me."

Ethan chuckled. "Oh, I'm shaking in my boots, Nicholas."

As they continued to chat and joke, Noah asked, "Kat, what's been going on? You seemed really down yesterday."

Kathrine: "I-I-It's just my mom... she's... uh... _sigh_..."

Ethan: "Hey, hey, don't stress yourself, Kathrine. Take your time."

Kathrine: "My mom I-I-I don't know... she's just being really... really... _frustrated sigh_..."

Ethan: "Okay, okay. Let's break it down. What's happening with your mom that's got you so upset?"

"She's just... she's always on my case about something. And I feel like I can never do anything right" Katherine sighed.

Nicholas nodded sympathetically. "We are here for you, Kat. Always."

Ethan added, "Yeah, and we'll always make fun of you to cheer you up."

Katherine softly said "Thanks, guys. I appreciate it."

The group continued to chat and joke, enjoying each other's company.

As they finished their chocolates, Nicholas said, "You know, Kat, these were really good. You have great taste."

Ethan teased, "Yeah, almost as good as your taste in friends."

Katherine laughed. "Hey, watch it!"

Noah chimed in, "Yeah, Ethan, don't be jealous just because Kat likes us better."

Ethan pretended to be offended. "Hey, I'm not jealous! I'm just stating facts."

"Hey Kat, you seem really happy today! What's going on?" Nicholas asked.

"I'm going out with my friends today to celebrate our friendship!" Katherine replied, beaming with excitement.

Who are you going with?" Ethan asked.

"Rhea, Aiden, and Alex. We're going to have a blast!" Katherine said.

"Honestly, Kat, your friends I mean those guys are so...they dont deserve you they are so fake ." Ethan tried to manipulate kathrine
