1 TRANSFERRED
SOPHIA'S POV
I'm Princess Sophia Monteverde, 15 years old. I’m now in third year high school. My parents are Paul and Sarah Mendez. I know it's weird that I have a different surname from my own parents but I can't do anything about it. Other people also got curious about why my surname was different from my surname. My parents said that the nurse just made a mistake. I said we should just fix it but they don't want to and I don’t even know why.
Weird right? But every time I open up that topic they keep on changing the subject so I just let it go. I know they are hiding something from me so I will just wait for them until they are finally ready to tell me. I know they have their own reason why they can’t tell me the reason. I have trust in both of them because they are my parents and I love them. I know they will not do anything that will break my trust I have with them.
My parents are rich, in fact our family is one of the most famous and wealthy families in the world. Our business is a clothing factory and accessories. I am famous because I got the title of being the most beautiful and fashionable woman in the world. I am also one of the famous models in the country. I have no friends because everyone are just befriending me just because they want fame. I know others might think that I’m just being choosy but I have my own reason why I was being picky when it comes to choosing my friend and that is one of the memories I’m trying to forget.
Well I don't care what others think of me. They can think what they want. I can’t hold their minds anyway. I am also famous in my school today because I am the Queen Bee in St. Mary Academy.
But no matter how perfect my life is, I still feel that there is something missing. I am beautiful and wealthy but I have never experienced falling in love with a man. There were hundreds of thousands of my suitors but I don't have any feelings for them and I can't force myself to like nor love them no matter how hard I tried so I just gave up in my dating life. I also don't know why but I seem to be looking for something but I just can't point it out. Oh, I already talked too much. It's really stressful to introduce yourself. I’d better get some sleep.

WHEN I woke up the next morning I immediately saw a red envelope on my desk which made me frown. When I opened it I saw it was an enrollment form. My brows furrowed even more when I saw the name of the school. Magical Academy? What a weird school name. This is the first time that I heard that there's a school who has this kind of name. The big question is who put it here? Maybe mom and dad put it in? I'll just ask them personally, maybe they are still here at home. I went downstairs carrying the envelope I had seen earlier. I saw both of them in the dining area. Mom is drinking coffee and dad is reading a newspaper while taking a sip on his coffee so I immediately approached them.
"Mom, did anyone of you put it on my desk?" I asked and showed the envelope which caused their eyes to widen.
"Mom, dad, is there anything wrong?" I asked and suddenly they shook their heads as if my question brought them to reality.
"No. Don't mind us baby. Can we see that envelope?" mom asked and I nodded and handed her the envelope. They immediately looked at it and there was a trail of shock and fear on their faces. Why is it? What is there in that envelope that they reacted that way.
"Ahm... princess just eat your breakfast. Your mommy and I are just going to talk okay?" and I nodded and started to eat.
SARAH'S POV
"Hon, I knew that you already know what this envelope means. This is the right time for her to go to the place where she really belongs." my husband said and my tears kept falling which I had been holding back since I saw this envelope.
"But hon! I don't want to lose her! Because when she finds out the truth there is no guarantee that she will come back to us!" I protested while crying
"I know but we don't own her! She has the right to go to that place! Because from the very beginning she really belongs there!" Paul said frustratingly
"We can't hide her forever! He's searching for her! He will do whatever he wants just to own her! She's not already safe here! We can't protect her! But they can!" he said and I realized that he is right. She was safer in that place. They can protect her. I just hope Sophia will be able to forgive us once she finds out the truth.
"Okay I'm ready. Let’s do it for Sophia’s sakes" I said
SOPHIA'S POV
I'm here now at dad's office because he said he had something important to say. Mom, on the other hand, is resting in their room. She seems not feeling well.
"Sophia you need to transfer to another school" dad said with a stern voice that made me frown
"But why?" I asked
"Just trust us baby hmm? It's for your own good" he said as he hold my hands
"Okay" I said defeatedly. Do I look like I have a choice?
It's fine with me anyway because I have nothing to left in my old school.
"And you need to hide your true identity while you're in that school" dad added
"What?! But why?!" I asked in shock
"Because your life is in danger. When anyone knows who you really are the more your life will be in danger. So you better watch your words and actions princess" dad said
Dad always called me Princess because he said that I’m their only princess so I’m already used to it but why does it seem strange the way dad called me princess this time? It seems like a double meaning? I've been getting crazy these past few days. Maybe it’s just my imaginations.
And what does dad say that there are people who will try to kill me when they find out who I really am?! I didn’t remember that me nor my family had aggravated anyone.
"But why? There's nothing interesting about me!" I said
There is nothing interesting about me that could put my life in danger other than being rich. Could it be that someone wanted to kidnap me to ask for ransom money from my parents? Or is it one of dad’s business competitors?
"Just because. We will make a fake information about you and we will deleting the truths about you or anything that can lead to find out who you really are" dad said
"Okay fine. As if I have a choice. So what am I going to do?" I asked
"Good. Never show your birthmark to anyone. Never show what your eyes really looks like. Always wear your contact lenses. Never tell anyone your real name. Never trust anyone. Not even one, even to your future friends, do you understand? " Dad explained and I just nodded.
If you are wondering what is in my eyes. Well my eyes are really unique because of its color and appearance. Instead of white, my eyes are dark blue and the iris is blue green and below that is another large crescent moon that is colored violet. My iris is not round but crescent moon shaped. My eyes are cool isn’t it? But this is one of the reasons why I feel different from everyone and I don't like it so I always wear a contact lens wherever I go. I even thought once that I was just adopted because my surname and appearance are different from them and when my parents found out they cried in front of me. That day is one of the heart breaking moments before. And my birthmark that daddy is referring to is a crescent moon shape that is red and has a circle in the middle that is blue.
"Okay" I said
"Good. Now go to your room and start packing your things because there's a dorm in your new school and starting tomorrow you will live there, get it? You'll go there early first in the morning."
"Immediately? Why so sudden? Why tomorrow immediately? Can't it be next week dad?" I asked with confusion.
"No more questions princess. Just trust us okay? Everything we do and say is all for you sake because we love you. You are our only princess don’t ever forget that" dad said so I immediately hugged him tightly and he hugged me back.
"I will miss the both of you" I said teary eyed
"We will also miss our one and beautiful princess. All right, go up to your room and fix your things" dad said then messed up my hair
"Dad!" I scolded him then fixed my hair and he chuckled because of that.
I went up to my room and start packing my things that I will take with me when I leave tomorrow. And fell asleep after that.
