James's words changed Sophia, it was like she was reborn.
There were no more acts, nor more wigs, lashes, nothing, only if she needed to rob or make a connection with somebody. But in everyday life, she became her old self, the girl who was bullied… but now her voice was heard… and literally it was heard because she started arguing with the others, she got loud, she got more intense, and moreover, she started to feel something for James.
At that time, he was still that nonchalant fucker who never spoke, only if needed, but he did that because, well, he was pretending and was panicked as fuck, and Sophia wasn't understanding why he isn't responding to the signs, like the eye contact and the things women do to target a man's attention… James was literally ignoring all of it, and the compliments also stopped.
