Somethings Never Change - HugFia

Chapter 36

Sofia's POV
The weekend flew by very quickly, and I mean it. And since the trip is already over, finals are coming up in a month and then onto graduation.

And time flew by even quicker for a senior. Some might think there's still a long way till finals, but in reality maybe in an blink of an eye, I would be sitting infront of my final test paper

From today onwards, each and every school activities for the seniors are cancelled due to finals. The very least I could do was to stay back in the library, setting up for my final preparation

Since this is a sports school, we are required to take a sports exam as well. We are technically allow to take as many sports exam as we could. But for me, I decided to just pick one which is flying derby. The sport that I have the most confident in.

"Here are the notes you asked for" Daxton pass me a stack of clip papers "Make sure to take a small break, I don't wanna see you fall sick" He added before he left the library

"Thanks, I understand mother" I rearrange the pile of books infront of me

Daxton then paused in his step, turning around giving me glare with a tiny upwards curve on the end of his lips "Are you trying to mock me?"

"Maybe-?"

"Anyway don't over do it" he turn back around continue walking towards the entrance while giving me a back hand wave

With that he left the library leaving me alone, sitting there with a pile of books lying in front on me. Usually the library would be full of people every year during finals period, but this year it's kinda empty to my surprise

I flip through the books, pages by pages. The more I look at it, the heavier my eye lids get, considering the downpour that's happening outside, plus the cold air conditioning in the library

Sitting next to the window, listening to the sound of the raindrops hitting the ground like a rhythm to a melody. Even so, the sound of the pen's friction onto the student's books were heard clearly.

Closing my eyes, trying to relax my mind just by paying attention to all the sounds around me, makes me feel at ease.

The library doesn't close till 7p.m. , which means there's still a few hour left till I gotta head home. By all needs, I decided to take a quick short nap before continuing on hitting the books.

I plug my ear phones into my ear, playing a kind of soothing music, to calm my while body down, while the rain outside was still hearable.

---

A loud noise was playing in my brain which shook me up in an instant. Due to instinct, my hand reach out to the phone as I shut it off

But something felt off than before. I felt warm around my body, and a weight hanging around my shoulder.

Turning my vision onto my shoulder, I found a black coat lying onto me. As I took it off myself, I turn the jacket back and forth, but still couldn't figure out who's jacket it is.

I don't know anyone who wore a black coat , my brain can't seem to recognise it either. No name nor note was place on it, does this person wanted me to figure out who they are? Or do they not want their coat back?

I soon tossed the coat onto the seat next to me, so that I could continue on what I was working on before. But as soon as I opened my history textbook I found a tiny sticky note sticking onto one of the pages that I was revising before.

Go back home early, I can see that you're tired so don't force yourself.

P.s. : don't worry about the coat, you could return it to me when the time is perfect.

The note was written in a neat and curvey fonts. I never knew someone would actually write in this kind of fonts, except a girl?

Perfect time they said. Don't they want their belonging back?

I quickly brushed off my thoughts, focusing on my history textbook. I tried my best to not think about the note and the coat

But deep down I wanna know who gave me this, I really want to thank them.

My brain quickly went on with its job as time passes by. Soon later the evening sky appeared, and that my queue to leave for home

As soon as I step out of the building, a fresh, petrichor scent passes through my sense of smell. Everything seems new and alive after such a heavy rain

The orange evening sky caught my attention, a mixture of red and orange spread through the whole sky. A flocks of crows were flying across the sky just makes it the perfect combination for an perfect evening.

I took a glance of my surrounding before walking towards the school gate. My attention was then caught onto a transparent umbrella.

To my surprise I found a note with the same writing as before, did that person also left me an umbrella?

Sofia,
Incase if it's still raining.

That person also include a cute little drawing of me that was drawn on the side of the note. How cute.

"Princess Sofia" the coachman called with the coach's door wide opened. I nodded my head with a slight smile, taking the umbrella with me.

I pushed the tall white door of my bedroom as I quickly rushed towards the bed, every item that was supposingly to be in my hand are now scattered across the mattress

My fingers slowly reach into my pocket, pulling out the two notes that was written by someone anonymous. Personally I never received any kind of stuff from people this secretively

Laying both item and note on my bed suddenly made my heart race, finding someone showing this kind of affection towards me is kind of cute.

I soon noticed a crest was printed onto the handle of the umbrella. A picture of a sword alongside with a horse.

"This must be their family crest" I spoke softly, my fingers running through the printed picture smoothly.

My head shot up looking directly at the door of my room as soon as I heard a knock. Coming in a figure who was Amber

"Yes?" I asked shoving everything aside making some room for Amber to seat

Amber shook her head slightly as she took a seat next to me "Nothing". She lay herself onto the bed while shutting her eyes "I don't remembering you having this coat, did you bought it?"

"No, actually I have something to ask you" I then took the umbrella, pointing onto the crest "Have you seen this crest before?"

She was silent for a minute before opening her mouth to speak, but close it back up, as she look at the crest closely

"I think I have, but I can't really remember what is it" Amber finally said "You could maybe try the castle's library"

I sighed at her response, thinking Amber would know who this crest belongs to, I guess I got to be patient about finding this person.

I pulled out my phone from my bag, remembering of the Internet. I search for each platform, website, images on the Internet trying to find anything related to the crest

No luck at all. Neither one of the royal family crest is close to the one printed on the umbrella handle.

As I swipe through the names on social media, a certain person caught my eyes as soon as I saw their name

Desmond.
