Chapter 256-Is This Love Or Admiration?

"Why are you doing this?"

Sonia asked bloodied and beaten, she couldn't understand why the world was against her, what did she do wrong? it's only been 3 weeks since she joined and yet she was being challenged and beaten again, while she did win some matches that only spurred on the anger of her attackers, if she beat the weaker ones, stronger ones would appear too challenge her,

"Why? because we can and I find you an eyesore"

It was a simple and brutal explanation by her attacker, not a hint of remorse filing in her opponent's eyes, she just looked down at Sonia, relaxing in the superiority that she felt, after one more beat up Sonia was sent out of the battle arena losing her consciousness, the next time she woke up she would be in the infirmary.

By now it had become normal for her, Babylon Academy was truly the paradise for the strong, while for weak students like her who lack in combat it's the worst place to be and there was no way to fix the problem at all, it was either she survives or she gives up but that means she would lose her chance to be with Leonardo.

All of this, she was going through all this so that she won't lose her chance to be with Leonardo, up and till now she hadn't got her chance to confess, she thought that she would do it after she became strong but it would seem that her talent could only take her far...

Leonardo was still the dense type he is, he saw the problem, he called the ones that hurt her but that was not useful to her after he left they just continued her 'training', he only knew how to make the current issue dissipate not dealing with the root of the issue, and by now most of his time was spent training and getting better.

The amount of time they met was becoming lesser and lesser but she didn't mind, she loved him and wanted to make sure to be a strength for him, after all, that's what someone that is in love does, right? by now many parts of her body were filled with scars, she had made a habit of wearing long sleeves to cover herself.

Even if she healed them, a new one will appear, plus healing scars were expensive, and she didn't want to weigh on her family.

Her life was bleak and everything looked dark but she didn't give up, it was during this time the Seth hunt appeared, she heard that Leonardo was going to partic.i.p.ate in it, hence she went to support him she also made a promise that she would confess to him after all this is over, the reason being Elda.

Sonia was very keen on Leonardo, hence she knew when things were suspicious, Elda Lionheart, she had heard of this heart moving beauty, her name and her gentle side was the greatest gossip of the academy, born with great family and power, she was the dream girls of many men, some say her beauty's eternal.

Her admirers even included powerful princes, to Sonia she was someone to look up to, she would be lying if she said that she didn't envy her but that was all, by nature she was a kind person, the only dream she ever truly fought for was to be with Leonardo.

And this seemed to be slipping away each day, she found that Leonardo was falling for Elda, as someone that spent most of her life with, she could easily tell what he was feeling and this made her anxious, hence she made a promise to herself to confess right after the Seth hunt, she was sure that it was Leonardo's win but that's when he entered.

Austin Lionheart, the most handsome man she had ever seen, for her Leonardo was all ways the best, nothing compared to him but she had to give up here, the scene of Austin floating on the board with her hair wet is the biggest selling hot piece of Babylon Academy, even she felt a p.r.i.c.kle but that was all.

In her heart the person she strived for was Leonardo. That day her surprises were just beginning, Austin showed himself above everyone, she could still remember herself gawking like an idiot, her eyes couldn't move from the scene, and the song that he played that day heavily shook her heart, there was no saying how many girls had fallen for him.

She had a great view of Austin, he was a role model for her to look up to, though she was sad that Leonardo lost she was still lost in the rhythm she had heard, back then she just thought that she would have nothing to do with him but fate proved otherwise, after the Seth hunt she wasn't able to get sight of Leonardo.

It would seem that he was behind Elda, making her heartache, she ran behind him, she was with him from the start, yet here she was just a sister, she didn't care if he had someone else as long as he has a heart for her, she was happy, during this time he joined Austin's faction, something which was outside her expectations.

Her mind still remembers the chilling scene of those powerful students kneeling to Austin, he looked just like a....king

She had thought that he would be a scary and rigid person, no he turned out to be kind and graceful but then again the only reason that she was able to join was that Leonardo spoke for her, once again he missed the true situation.

Sonia expected some disdain or repulsion from Austin but all she saw was a gentle smile, he wasn't disgusted or angry, hence like that she joined his faction, even though she knew that it was because Leonardo wanted to get close to Elda, she didn't care she just wanted to be close to him.

And it was the best decision she ever made, because of this she met her best friend Clara, both of them got close very easily, she had so much fun she never thought she could go through, also the ones in Austin's fraction weren't bad, they treated her kindly.

Clara soon became like a sister to her as both of them spent time with each other, she was also the one that confined her to wait for her confession, she taught her that she must first become an integral part of Leonardo's life. In her dark, gloomy world she became her only friend, a friend to lean on and spill her troubles.

It's then that she found out that Clara was in love with Austin, but unlike her, she seems to be receiving her love back, it was huge news but as a friend, she kept that to herself, thanks to joining Austin's faction no one any longer challenged her, it was a calm and happy time for her, she finally had a friend and an Academy life.

Everything was well the only thing she lacked was Leonardo's love, she kept trying but it would seem that it was of no use, for now, she had promised herself that she would be beside Leonardo, she would try her best to become part of his life, it doesn't matter if she isn't the first, as long as she had a chance she would try.
