Ch. 18

Sheila woke up again in the infirmary school room, this was the fourth time she'd woken up in an unfamiliar place now. She felt disorientated and her head was hurt from the fight earlier.

"Yoo Sheila!!, are you fine? " Aiko said while opening the door.

Sheila was startled by the sudden appearance of Aiko , and not long after that the girls also came to see Sheila who was knocked out after that training sessions.

"Y-y-yeah I'm fine…" Sheila said while trying to get up, her voice was a little bit shaky and she seemed barely able to keep herself together.

"Lady killer was meanie..!" Aiko said as she puffed her cheeks and made a pouty face to show how angry she was at that killer teacher.

"Aiko.. She has a name you know" Yuki said while trying to chop her head a little bit.

"B-b-but she's a meanie!" Aiko relpy with her voice that sounding a bit more like the childish pouty tone you would expect from a small child.

However, Yuki was not having any of it.

"I know, but she has a name... you should addres her as Lady Saturn, and you should use it instead of calling her something like the meanie or Lady killer..." Yuki replied as her tone sharp and clear.

Sheila couldn't help but smile a little bit as she heard this from Aiko. After having been at the orphanage, she was used to making friends but this time it seemed different, these girls were the same age as her and there was something special about that. She felt a little bit sad and happy at the same time.

Even tough her world crumbled a month ago with that accidents, she trying to get it together to move forwards. Thanks to these new friends she had, she feel she could pull it off.

"Sheila what's wrong?" Flo asked with her head tilted a bit to the side. She seemed worried about Sheila and she had a tone of concern in her voice.

"I-its fine... I'm just glad to have you girls as my friends. "

"To be honest, after that accidents I don't know what I'm gonna do after losing everything. I lost my family at the orphanage, and my little brothers wasn't show any kind of improvement"

"The training was hard, but thanks to you girls who keep visiting me and cared about me.. I thinks I'm lucky, even after all of that" Sheila said while trying to stop her tears from falling off.

" I-Im really, really glad to have you girls who cares.. About nobody like me"

"Aaaawww Sheila... It's fine.. " Aiko said trying to hug Sheila with a teary eyes and a big smile on her faces.

"Please think of us as your family... Your already in our squad too" Yuki said joined the hugs.

"To be honest I'm not fond with hugging things, but its fine if it just once in a while" Flo said with indifferent tones but still joins the hugs anyway.

"Who wanna hug you if you smell of sweat? " Angela said with a sarcastic tones towards flo, but joins the hugs too anyway.

"What's wrong with you!? " Flo answer with annoyed faced.

After hearing that, everyone couldn't help to laugh in tears as they hugged each other. Thanks to Aiko who keeps bringing them to meet Sheila while she was bedridden, they could get this closer.

The five of them kept hugging each other for a while, trying to sooth Sheila's feelings and make her feel better. Sheila felt comforted by the hugs, she felt safe and protected and loved. And in that moment, she realized just how glad she was to have them as her friends.

"You know... Aiko had feelings that Sheila will becomes very strong and could saves us when the times come... "

"Trust me.." Aiko said while hugging her more tightly.

Hearing this, Sheila was overjoyed at seeing that her friends cared so much about her, and she made a special mental note to herself to protect them no matter what happens. Sheila was determined to make sure that she did everything in her power to protect them and keep them safe, and she would never let anyone hurt them.

After a while, they finally decided to stop hugging each other. They were all very close now and they didn't really want to let go, but eventually they felt like they should do something else too.

"I'm not kidding though" Angela said with flat expressions.
