SOFIA GETS UP TO LOCK HER room door. The stupid school had casual clothes day today for some event that she and Bianca missed due to their late arrival. Sofia felt her life was breaking again, she sat up and walked to her bathroom mirror staring at her now healed scar. How was she going to tell Maria and Mason and Ares.

 Sofia knew that it was going to be kind of hot today but she didn't have any long sleeved shirts that wouldn't show her figure. So she slipped on a pair of jeans and a jumper before wiping her shoes that were worn out and put them on too.

After taking a few painkillers, Sofia tried to put on her contacts but they were so old and used they they ripped in her hands so now she had to go to school with one ice blue colored eye while the other was an emerald green

Matteo and even Enzo walked in. Sofia was confused for two reasons.. One she thought she locked the door and two why were they all in her room? She quickly covered her eye then faced her brothers 

"We all know what Marco said yesterday, and he's just looking out for you.." Antonio began eyeing his brothers to speak up. "uh and we know he's sorry" Sofia didn't understand what Matteo had just said because it made no sense at all. 

"okay, what they're trying to say is Marco knows he messed up and he didn't mean to say what he said. He was actually just jealous that his little sister was making friends with a- a boy" Enzo tried to fix his mistake but he kind of ruined it in a way. Matteo sighs "the point is.. He's sorry" Sofia just nods. 

"alright we'll leave you to it.. we suck at this stuff" Antonio cringes. "wait! Do you think someone could get me new contacts" Sofia looks at the carpet floor "why do you need them. your eyes are beautiful" Antonio pats her head 

Sofia could stick up for herself but that doesn't mean the names they called her didn't get to her in any way. "anyone would kill to have heterochromia, even me. consider yourself lucky" Matteo points to her before leaving with her brothers.

Once they had left Sofia saw Bianca death glaring at her, Bianca hated to see them all talking to her sister and not her. She was so sure that they hated Sofia...

Sofia just slams the door in her face getting sick of her sister, and getting sick of being picked on by her. She didn't even realize her personal maid heard and saw everything. "if i may ask why does your sister treat you like that? I saw what she did with your arm.." Sofia sighs and just shrugs not wanting to tell Marissa yet. 

"well do you want breakfast?" Sofia shakes her head. Marissa began to worry about Sofia more than before.

Sofia slips on her bag with her lunchbox inside and walks downstairs past the dinning room where she heard the muffled yells again, this was her only chance. Sofia follows the voice as the man's voice gets louder, which ends up taking her to a room far away from everyone. Isolated. 

"h-h-hello?" Sofia stutters, then chains shackles chimed loudly, and a man who seemed to be in his mid 20's opened a small peephole which seemed like food was slipped in. 

"You aren't-" the man says with a weak voice, "are you okay mister" Sofia seemed genuinely worried for the man, "this must be a trick.." he peeks through the food port again only to see Sofia tilting her head. 

"you shouldn't be here" Sofia ignores him. "you seem hungry; wait." Sofia pulls her lunchbox out and gives him her sandwich, in which he eats with no hesitation.

"You seem as if you haven't eaten in days?" Sofia looks at the man through the small gap "do you have any water?" the man ignores Sofia this time. "answer my questions in return for food and water" Sofia had never been this demanding but she was curious. "I haven't eaten in days, they're holding me here for answers.." 

"who are they?"

The man stayed silent, Sofia gave him a plastic water bottle, then the man chugged it down. "I don't know his name" Sofia opened her mouth to say something but closed it, he scammed her. "Do you have any more food?" he asked eagerly, Sofia shakes her head no "but I could try and get you something when I come home from school" the man smiles "thanks kid"

"Sofia" Maria called, "Sofia?" Mason said louder but she still ignored them "Sofia!" Ares's voice sent shivers down her spine, she didn't know why but she didn't like it or, maybe she did? But she kept walking, she felt sick to her stomach but there wasn't much she could do she was all alone and it was better like that. Marco could snap her In half. 

"Sofia, non mettermi alla prova cazzo" (Sofia don't fucking test me) Ares was irritated, now she was ignoring him and he couldn't bare it for some odd reason. Sofia could hear his footsteps get closer and closer towards her so she pushed past the crowd of people in the hallway finding herself in the school courtyard.

Just when she thought she lost him she felt someone pull her arm. Ares. "What's going on with you?" he doesn't break eye contact with Sofia's eyes as they twinkled in the sunlight, he swore that they were blue yesterday.. He couldn't break eye-contact with them, because they put him in some sort of trance.

"At least text me or something, just tell me" Sofia could see Ares slightly breaking and was swarmed with butterflies in her stomach noticing the effect she had on him what was happening? Then the bell rang, so Sofia slipped away and sped walked to her next class.

Do I like Ares? No. No. she snapped out of her thoughts.
