Chapter 48 What's up with Fontana?
|•Darrel•|
I knocked on the metal gate for the fifth time.
Finally, the door sprawled open and the gate man stuck his head out.
When he saw, he scoffed and frowned.
"What are you doing here again, j thought..."
"Please, just tell me, what's up with Fontana, huh?"I interrupted him.
"How many times do I have to tell you, you can't see her at the moment, she's very..."
"Bullshit!, bullshit man, just tell me, okay?"I ranted angrily.
This had always been his reply everytime I came here asking for Fontana.
She hasn't been in school for a week now and I can't even reach here.
I was damn worried that something might have happened.
Damn worried.
And, it's not possible that she cut me off line, it's impossible.
Minutes later, a deep voice sounded from the inside.
"Who's there"the voice asked.
He came into view and I recognized him to be one of the guards that always followed her.
He seems to be the head.
"This guy has been coming here for some days now asking for miss Fontana and I told him he can't see her now"the gate man told him.
The guard sighed and signalled the man to leave and which he did.
"I'm only going to tell you this because you seem close to her. They've moved to Florida"he said.
What?
"What are your talking about, it quite not possible"I chuckled ruefully hoping it was not the truth.
"Then, I have to go"he said coldly and closed the gate.
What the...
I turned around slowly fighting back the urge to cry.
Could that be the reason why I couldn't reach her?
Oh my God.

Fontana's POV
"Oh my God, Fred. What are you doing here"I asked as he stood in front of me.
"I should be asking you that. It's really a surprise that I saw you here"he replied.
"I moved here with my family last week"I said.
"Really?, you left Houston?, why?"he asked and I shrugged.
"Family thing.."I chuckled and he nodded.
"Anyway, technically, this is where my family based in and I decided to come finish my high school here"he explained.
"Oh, really, that's nice"I smiled.
"Are you taking a stroll?"he asked.
"Yeah"I nodded.
"Okay, let's stroll together"he chuckled and I nodded.
We began walking by the waving water chatting about the place and city.

Two weeks later
...
Surprisingly, the new school that my dad got me registered to was also the school Fred was attending.
I found myself talking to him alone since I haven't made any friend and we've become best of friends from the past weeks.
And, I had to admit, he's really cool when I'm with him.
Sometimes, I forget all about Darrel when I'm with him.
I think he has already dump me just as I feared.
From the past weeks, no calls, no texts, nothing from him.
Though I'm angry at his behavior, but, I still find myself still staring at my phone screen waiting for his call.

I was at my parents house watching some comedy on my phone that weekend.
I decided to come and spend some days with them maybe I will feel more better.
I don't know what's happening.
If it was Fontana who cut me off or her dad.
Mom came downstairs and picked the remote control from the center table and turned the TV on.
*Fontana Longworth was spotted on the beach in Florida with her friends. See pictures which was taken there..*the lady reporting the news on TV said and I quickly turned to it.
They were showing pictures of Fontana with Fred holding hands.
Gosh.
What's Fred doing there.
"She doesn't even know that's she's holding hands with the person that tried to kill her.."I said painfully.
Mom turned to me and sighed.
I already informed her and dad about what happened between us.
While dad showed no remorse, he feels that's the best, i guess. Mom has been trying to make me feel better from all this days.
"What is meant to be will surely be, Darrel. You don't have to be so hard on yourself."she cajoled.
"God, she's stupid. Why can't she see through him, huh?, why does she thinks he's in Florida with her, it's obvious he is plotting something again.."I muffled a cry.
Geez. Why I'm I being lachrymose this days.
"I think I know who might be behind this."Dad's voice sounded from the stairs.
