Loner Hades

Sophia felt guilty for making Helen and her two friends face a hearing for breaking the school rules on bullying. They always made things difficult for Sophia, but the girl instead responded with sincere kindness. Sophia still hoped that Helen would realize her mistake and become a better person. "I'm glad to see that arrogant girl being punished," Bianca said with a satisfied smile. Sophia looked at Helen and felt sorry for her instead. "I actually feel sorry for her," Sophia replied. "Don't be too kind like that. Helen deserves punishment for her actions," Bianca explained. Sophia looked at Erick who had been observing the hearing. There was a teacher who acted as a judge and made the decision about the punishment for the rule-breakers. Five students wearing red robes like those worn by Erick were seen around him. They seemed to be the leaders of the other dormitories. There were five dormitory leaders there. A pair of Fresh Blood dormitory leaders and a pair of Sweet Blood dormitory leaders. Meanwhile, there was one more leader who was considered to represent the teachers in making the decision. Sophia remembered Bianca once saying that she wanted to be one of the dormitory leaders when they were 17 years old. Sophia could imagine her friend looking cool and authoritative like the other dorm leaders. "I'm satisfied enough if Helen is punished by cleaning the bathroom because that way she will feel how to do a job she has never done before," Rosie said happily. Rosie was one of the students who had been a victim of Helen's bullying, so she still harbored resentment towards her. Sophia wouldn't break Rosie's right to express her feelings. "I think she won't do it because she must have children who are willing to do anything for her," Bianca concluded, followed by a nod from Sophia. She understood Helen's habits and was convinced that the girl would be exempt from punishment. Helen had a considerable influence at school. "Anyway, let her behave as she wishes as long as it doesn't interfere with other people's interests. Actually, I wish they had never bothered me, but the reality is they only caused problems for me," Sophia lamented. The girl felt sad every time she thought about how they mocked her for her skin color. Sophia also didn't want anything different from herself, but what could she do? Everything happened according to each person's destiny. "The hearing is over, isn't it better that we leave now!" Rosie suggested while glancing at Helen, who did not show any remorse on her face. The girl still looked angry and would not lower her dignity just to apologize. "Let's go!" Sophia and Bianca replied in unison. They left the hearing room feeling happy because they would have fun all night. Bianca decided to stay in Sophia and Rosie's dormitory. They wanted to spend the whole night chatting and staying up late because tomorrow was a school holiday. They would have all night. "How about tomorrow we visit the neighboring village? I heard there is a river with very clear water. We can have fun and swim there!" Rosie suggested enthusiastically. The girl always had the spirit of adventure when it came to vacationing and traveling. "Your idea sounds good," Bianca replied with a wink. "Sophia!" Erick called out to Sophia, running a little to catch up with her. It seemed that he wanted to convey something important to Sophia after the hearing. "Kak Erick, what's up?" Sophia asked curiously. Bianca and Rosie looked at Erick with curiosity. They also did not know the purpose and intention of Erick meeting Sophia after the hearing. "Thank you for coming to the hearing," Erick said sincerely. Sophia replied with a sweet smile. "Isn't it my duty to attend? You don't have to hesitate and thank me," Sophia replied. "I have a gift for you," Erick said while handing over a cute little wolf-shaped keychain. Sophia examined the small object on her palm. She did not expect Erick to be so considerate in giving her a gift. "This is my work in class. I hope you like it," added Erick, blushing. It seemed that he liked Sophia. "I am very grateful for this cute gift," Sophia replied with shining eyes. She had never received a gift from a guy before. "I'll excuse myself first!" said Erick before leaving the three of them. Rosie and Bianca were silent watching how good Erick was to Sophia. They did not expect their friends to have a fan like a dormitory leader. They were very proud. "Hmmmmm, isn't Kak Erick romantic?" teased Rosie while winking at Bianca, who also laughed at Sophia's face. "What, this is not like what you thought," Sophia protested shyly. Her face was blushing. "What is on our minds?" Rosie continued. Bianca laughed because she felt Sophia was losing the argument in front of her and Rosie. The three of them were like other teenagers who were enjoying the beautiful moments in their lives. "By the way, what about Andrew Davidson? Did he lose to the dormitory leader?" Bianca added, imme

His blue-grey, beautiful eyes looked over her every feature as if he wanted to burn the image in his mind. “Would you like me to take you away?” He asked in a husky voice. His words made her skin litter in goosebumps. She couldn’t speak, only nod desperately. “And what do you offer me in exchange for your rescue? Would you like to follow me?” Slowly, she nodded her head and put her hand in his. “Remember your promises,” he said against her ear. She held her breath. “The last person who betrayed me got to see what his insides looked like before I slit his throat.”
