Somethings Never Change - HugFia

Chapter 33

Sofia's POV
Everyone gather at the Hotel's convention centre, which is a grand, huge ballroom. By the looks of everyone, they are totally ready to  party. It's going to be wild

Since the legal drinking age in France is 16, and each and everyone of us here are already 17 by the year and 16 for those who's birthday have still not arrive. Those drinks that the hotel prepared would totally consist at least a few percentage of alcohol.

Music was filling the entire ballroom, where students were dancing, jupping , drinking and there were some of them who was trying to spike the fruit punch

My gaze was then landed onto Daxton, remembering today's situation, the guilty, sadness, self-blaming within his deep dark brown eyes.

His eyes then caught mine, trying to change my view, Daxton came up to me with two glass of champagne. He passed a glass to me, then giving me a signal to follow him outside from this noisy party ballroom

"You might think I'm weak right?" he spoke once we were away from peoples, leaving the both of us alone "Crying in front of you, literal weakling" he added

I didn't speak, eyes focusing onto the ground, walking along side Daxton until we reach the hotel's balcony. Back then it did shock me to see that Daxton's tear streaming down from his eyes, I never seen him cry, never in my past 5 years at Corinthians Sports School.

"You're not weak" I mumbled under my tone

"Pardon?"

"You're not weak, I said" I lift my eye level, looking into his eyes "You're not weak Daxton"

He look at me with his head tilted to the left. I know he understands what I'm saying, but maybe because everyone has their own pride and crying makes him look like a weakling in front of people, he might not believe what I just said.

"I mean-" I tried to explain "Males could cry whenever they want too, which rule implied that when a male cry it means they are weak?"

"Sofia-"

"No, it doesn't matter at all, you could cry on my shoulder whenever you feel like it, you are not weak alright, none of the males who cried are weak" I continued, getting a bit carried away as my speed gets quicker, tone getting louder and higher

Daxton was still staring at me, lost of words probably. His lips slowly formed into a tiny smile, nodding his head slowly.

He then came in for a hug "I'm glad that I got to know you" with the height differences, my head was leaning onto his chest, listening to his heart beats by the second and feeling that warm temperature of his body

I could feel myself blushing, my mind was totally empty, I don't even know how to react anymore. Once Daxton let go of my body, a worried expression was then formed onto his face

"Sof, you're face is really red" asked Daxton "Are you alright?"

"I- I'm fine, really" I replied shaking my hand up and down.

He squad his legs so that his eye level could be at the same height as mine, smirking and said "Or have you fallen for my amazing charm?" he said in a sarcastic tone

"Shut up"

Daxton gave a light chuckled, standing up straight "You know I-"

Suddenly a voice, a loud one, came running into our direction, interrupting Daxton. "Sofia you got to see this, I totally win the bet!"

By the voice of that person, it was Eleanor. She was running in her long, elegant black dress, with her hair falling down.

"What bet ?" I asked looking at Eleanor then back at Daxton who was helping Eleanor

"We all knew Ayanna is a lesbian right" said Eleanor pointing her fingers out as if she was doing some mathematical problems "Remember the bet that we made, you know the lucky one?"

I nodded my head, remembering the bet we made a few months back. Eleanor didn't hesitate at all as she started pulling me by the arm away from Daxton, back into the ballroom

The ballroom was filled with a slow and graceful song, which leads to the students and teachers waltzing around with their partners.

Eleanor then pointed across the room, to my curiosity, I saw Ayanna dancing with a girl, who is in a suit

"No way, I thought she and Gina had something" I turned to Eleanor, giving  me a smirk, placing her hand out asking for her reward "My heart can't take this cuteness right now" I said in awe

"I'm good at this cupid's job, praise me" said Eleanor, flipping her messy hair behind her shoulder

Travelling to Paris has been an awesome time, the city of love, they didn't name that for nothing. One of the best place to confess or maybe propose to someone

I'm guessing many of the students had unlock a new title, taken. Students I say, our final year in Corinthians sports school, if you're not confessing now, when then? That's how most students are thinking right now

While me and Eleanor were squatting, hiding behind the table of foods , spying on each and everyone. A voice full of curiosity appeared out of nowhere said "What are you two doing?"

I lift my pupils up to see the owner of the voice, a guy dress in a tuxedo standing right in front of the food table, looking right down at us

By making things awkward, we didn't answer his question but flee away from the table, making us looking like theift, trying to impersonate as one of the student

The rest of the party was just getting wild by the minute, there's students getting all hype up by the energetic music, students who went back to their rooms early, there's also  students sitting in a large circle playing games that include alcohol

Hugo and Daxton were one of the players in the circle, its not surprising though, they are quite well know around the school for their looks, especially in front of the girls. I, myself don't need to be popular around the girls but the boys

Why? Flying Derby, that sport. A female rider, that's what they refer me to, the only female rider in school. Joins tons of competition, win 1st to 3rd placing using the school's name (I don't always win at each competition, there always be time I would loose)

While Hugo and Daxton were busy playing, me and Eleanor were also busy talking to the other princesses. Until it was time that the party came to an end, we then meet up with Hugo and Daxton at the entrance of the ballroom

"Damn what happened to him?" I asked pointing at Hugo "He's already drunk?"

"He did drink alot, considering him loosing most of the rounds" anwsered Daxton, supporting Hugo's stability to stand "Where's that bodyguard of his anyway?"

"I- I didn't loose- loose any game I w-won" said Hugo durnkly, smiling like a dork

Eleanor was busy taking pictures of Hugo while trying not to burst into laughter since the place was already quiet. I walk over to Daxton, lifting Hugo's right arm putting it over my shoulder

"You don't have to-"

"It's fine"

We then went back to our room floor, As I followed Daxton back to their room instead of straight going back to my room.

We laid Hugo down onto his bed as I soon stretch my body to relax the muscles around my body. Daxton was about to unbutton Hugo's clothes until he pauses and turn to me

"I'll take over from here" said Daxton with a smile "I'm just gonna wipe his body with a wet towel, thanks for your help Sofia"

"Oh al-alright then" I look at Daxton then towards the door "I- I should g-go now, good night then" I stammered

I was about to opened the door of the room, until Daxton's hands grab onto mine. His eyes were lock within mine, there was a second of silence before he spoke "Sofia I have to tell you something -"
