A/N: I know I mentioned a secret; that's been moved to a different chapter. I had to switch the order. Also, sorry for the long wait:) I've been having trouble with fanfic and the internet in general. :)


"Hi! Dad!"

"What do you want? I'm in a hurry."

"I know. I just wanted to say hi. And it's weird without you here."

"I see. How are things with your new school?"

"They're good. I miss Jackson though."

"It's just an elementary school, Sophia. It doesn't matter."

"My name is Sophie, Dad. Please don't call me that."

"I named you Sophia, and that's what I'll call you. Now can we wrap this up? I have things to do with Kelly. I told you not to call me; I'll call you if it's necessary."

"I'm sorry..."

Then he hung up.
