[indent][indent]Sonny had seen Julie walk past him and had he been in a better mood, maybe he would’ve followed her. Only a few moments passed and he saw that she went over to where Chanel and that British guy Jordan were. He made the automatic decision to avoid that particular area of the Homecoming area. The last thing he needed was to be forced into an awkward conversation with Chanel and about how both of them don’t like each other. Clearly she has some screws loose in her head, so Sonny rather not deal with the likes of her. He had more pressing matters to attend to.

He continued his search from one point to another. Along his search and trying not to allow blood to drip to his white jacket, Sonny was able to catch the best seat in the house as he witnessed both of his close friends start to enjoy themselves at the dance. In the blue corner, draped in a lavender dress, one Estelle Lambert was locking lips with her homecoming date and then being swept away from the Queen of the Sluts, Penelope Richards. And in the red corner, he saw his other childhood-ish friend, the self-proclaimed [code]Kavimeister[/code] become face to face with two women. One of them had shiny red hair and was Nadia and the other, of all people, Ariel. In the matter of a minute, after Kavi had opened his mouth, he was met with two consecutive responses that made Sonny laugh. After both left, darting to opposite directions, Sonny was chuckling to himself so much that he nearly missed the scent of Nadia’s perfume wen past him like steam in the wind.

A quick glance to Kavi’s direction and the guy was left a bloodied mess. Sonny almost felt bad for him, but then he remembered it was Kavi and knew whatever he did, the idiot deserved it. He had more important things to do, like catch up with Nadia. She had a head start, but he eventually caught up with her inside the actual country club and away from all of the noise and antics. 

[color=darkorange]“Nadia, wait up!”[/color] Sonny called out to her a she was a few feet away. She didn’t seem to respond, so he tried running. [color=darkorange]“Nadia!”[/color] He yelled out again.

The redhead had nearly missed the call, so caught up in her own emotions that she hadn't been paying attention to anything. Finally coming to a halt, she willed herself to calm down, hastily wiping away whatever tears she thought she had. After taking in a deep breath, she looked back towards where she thought she heard Sonny, eyes wide as she noticed his injuries. Her mood shifted dramatically, her anger washing away as concern took over.

[Color=lightsalmon]”Sonny, what-what happened to you?”[/color] She asked him, gingerly touching under his swollen cheek.eek.

He smiled at her, though he swiftly waved away her concern by shrugging. [color=darkorange]“I got into a disagreement with Marisol’s new beta boy. Apparently, size really does matter,”[/color] he joked, a laugh following. [color=darkorange]“I’ll live. What I want to know is what happened between you and Kavi? He must’ve done something pretty terrible for you to act like Viccy.”[/color] Sonny looked at her in a similar way she was to him, though it was more of a curious glance rather than concern (though that was present in his gaze as well).

Nadia’s expression softened, green eyes examining his face briefly before she would concede. Marisol, huh? Last she heard the two weren’t talking, but she wasn’t exactly sure who the ‘beta boy’ was. Still, there was absolutely no need to resort to violence. Sonny was shrugging it off, but it looked so painful!

She hesitated when he inquired about Kavi, eyes welling up with tears again as she averted her gaze, taking in a shaky breath. There was no hiding how hurt she was, her previous anger having fizzled out. [color=lightsalmon]”...nothing,”[/color] She copied his shrug, raising the back of her hand to her mouth as she tried to control herself. [color=lightsalmon]”He doesn’t care, so I don’t care, either. So…”[/color]

There was more to the story, that much Sonny knew. He also knew how cruel Kavi could be. Whether he did it intentionally or did it without any amount of what effects his actions had on those they hurt, it was likely Nadia was another victim of Kavi Salvador. [color=darkorange]“I’ve known that dumbass for almost as long as I can remember, so you don’t have to say it.”[/color] He gave her a comforting smile. [color=darkorange]“He definitely deserved a lot worse than what he got.”[/color] Sonny couldn’t help but laugh as he tried to get Nadia to do the same.

Despite not wanting to, Nadia couldn’t stop the tiniest smile on her face, even if it quickly fell. [color=lightsalmon]”Maybe.”[/color] She said quietly, sniffling slightly as she shook her head. [color=lightsalmon]”I just feel so embarrassed...I’m so stupid.”[/color]

[color=darkorange]”No, you’re not stupid and you have nothing to be embarrassed about,”[/color] Sonny quickly assured her. [color=darkorange]”Kavi is - and always will be - the idiot in every situation. He thinks because he’s charming that the shit he does won’t come back to bite him in the ass, but clearly it happened with you and Ariel. It was bold of him to think this wouldn’t happen. Nobody in their right mind would fly so close to the sun and not expect to get burned.”[/color] 

As Sonny said all of that, he could just hear Marisol’s laughter in the background calling him a hypocrite. He chose to focus on comforting Nadia, not someone who was with a lesser boy.

Brushing her hair out of her face, she slowly exhaled. She knew he was trying to make her feel better, but she still felt dumb. Shaking her head slowly, she looked back at Sonny and ended up wincing, pitying his injuries. Opening her mouth to respond, she found herself much too distracted.

[color=lightsalmon]”If it’s okay, I don’t want to be here anymore,”[/color] She finally spoke. [color=lightsalmon]”Let’s get you to a hospital, I’m really concerned about...all of this,”[/color] She motioned to his face, wincing.

[color=darkorange]“Is it really that bad?”[/color] He asked her. He hadn’t looked at himself since [i]letting[/i] Sally get in a few good licks, so he didn’t know if it was worse than he felt. 

[color=lightsalmon]”Yes,”[/color] She replied with complete sincerity. [color=lightsalmon]”It looks like it really hurts, and…”[/color] She was very concerned about his nose in particular. [color=lightsalmon]”Your nose looks broken.”[/color]

[color=darkorange]“What!?”[/color] Came Sonny’s elevated voice, a genuine worry across his face, though to anyone but him, Sonny becoming worried about himself appeared to be more like anger. [color=darkorange]“That little bitch actually broke my nose, huh? I don’t know whether to be angry or flattered,”[/color] he mused, smiling. And as soon as he did that, he felt the pain surge from his cheeks to his mouth and back up again, causing him to visibly wince.

Nadia winced as well, nodding as she fished through her clutch. [color=lightsalmon]”If it hurts, that’s not good,”[/color] She wasn’t an expert, but she would rather be safe than sorry. Taking out a tissue, she gently dabbed at the blood on his face, trying to clean him as carefully as she could. [color=lightsalmon]”I really want you to get it looked at,”[/color] She said worriedly.

[color=darkorange]“Say, Nadia, if I didn’t know it any better, I’d say you’re actually worried about me,”[/color] Sonny teased her, smiling cheekily at the redhead.

Surprised by Sonny’s comment, Nadia paused for a moment before breaking into a genuine smile. [color=lightsalmon]”I am,”[/color] She told him softly.

He was both amused and surprised that he got a direct answer. Knowing her, he thought she would’ve tried to cover it up with some lame excuse. Suffice to say, Sonny was relieved to see her finally admit she didn’t totally hate him. [color=darkorange]“I’d smile but it hurts to even talk,”[/color] Sonny said with minimal lip movement. [color=darkorange]“Fine, I guess there’s no use fighting it. I’ve had enough of this dance anyway. If I’m named king, then I guess I’ll find out in the morning announcements come Monday.”[/color]

Without waiting for her to reply, on instinct, he took Nadia by her free hand, locking his fingers with hers.

Finally satisfied that Sonny wasn't looking like he had bathed himself in blood, Nadia was relieved when he would finally agree. Part of her had expected more of a fight, but maybe he actually saw her reasoning. Her hand in his felt so natural it wasn't until she started guiding him to the entrance that she noticed, her smile only widening even then.

[Color=lightsalmon]”Of course, Your Majesty,”[/color] She replied, happily walking with him hand-in-hand.[/indent][/indent][/color]
