Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!
So I have been getting some reviews telling me that in my last chapter I had a little too much he said, she said. Sorry to say that this usually happens when I run out of ideas or what to put some filler in. Thank you for not fearing to speak your mind. Though if you flame my story or me, your comment will be deleted. Anyway, on with the chapter. If you see SPOV it is Sofia's point of view.
Six years later
SPOV
Today is my sixth birthday. My mom and dad have both told me that it is okay to call them Alice and Jasper, but I secretly know that they like mom and dad better. I'm six years old and I know about what the average 15 year old knows. I'm also a tall for my age. I look about the height of an average 9 year old. When I was suppose to go to school. I never did. I did home school from 3 ½ years till I was 5 ½ years old.
For the last six months I've doing online courses for grade 9 and 10 course. I know that for a six-year-old girl it is odd. I'll explain how that happened a little later. I remember when then principal of the local high school had gotten a hold of my records. He called my parents and asked if he could meet me. I remember that day perfectly. It was 3 months ago. I had just finished my 6th course.
~Flashback~
The phone was ringing. "Mom the phone!" Alice came in to the room and picked up the phone. She had a conversion with who ever was on the other end. The first and last thing my mother said in that conversion was "Sure, Okay. See you then." I watched as my mother hung up the phone with a look of shock on her face. My mother sat down on the couch I tried talking to her she wasn't responding to me.
I went in to my father's office. I saw Jasper typing the laptop. "Daddy… Mommy won't respond to me." Jasper got up out of his chair and went in to the living room. Jasper ran over to Alice. He got down on his knees. He lift Alice's chin so he could see her eyes. "Alice, what is wrong?" Alice shook her head.
"Nothing is wrong Jasper. I was just on the phone. It was the principal of the local high school. He wants to meet Sofia. He has made an appointment to have us come in and see him. It is in 2 hours." Jasper nodded. We all went up stairs and got ready to meet the principal. I did not what to think.
Jasper and Alice both told me that I was not in trouble. I figure that much. Though what I did not know then was what did a high school principal want with me. A girl who was six years old. We all got in to Jasper's car and drove to the high school. We got to the school and went inside. The principal shook both Alice and Jasper's hand. "So, which one of you is Sofia?" Alice and Jasper moved a little and they both pointed to me. The principal was shocked. He shook his head.
He didn't believe my parents. I walked up to the principal and said, "If you don't believe them, then test me. Give me a grade 9 or 10 exam and let me write it right here in front of you. Then grade it and find out that parents are in fact telling you the truth." He agreed. He handed me a grade 10 Science applied exam.
He handed me a pencil and eraser. He pointed to the desk behind me. I got up on the chair. My parents sat down in the waiting room. 57 minutes later I told him I was done. He called up to the grade 10 Science teacher. She came down and graded the exam. She was done grading the exam in 20 minutes. The principal was shocked. I had gotten 100% on the exam.
The teacher came out of the principal's office. The principal pointed to me. The teacher got down on her knees. She shook my hand. "I've been teaching grade 10 Science for 9 years and nobody has ever got 100%." I looked at her and smiled. "My name is Sofia Aimee Cullen and I am six years old." "Nice to meet you Sofia. My name is Miss Jennifer Meeter." I smiled.
"I love a good challenge. If you need any help with a student that needs extra help. Not because they don't want to try, but because they truly need the help. I would love to see if I could help." I wrote down my house number and gave it to the teacher. I gave her a hug and she hugged me back. Then my parents came in.
I introduced Alice and Jasper to The teacher. I told Alice what I did and she smiled. "You are always trying to help other people. You really are a great girl Sofia." I smiled. I told the teacher that I would see her around. She smiled and waved as I left with Alice and Jasper. At least the principal said sorry for calling my parents liars.
~End flashback~
Now here is the story of how I be came so smart. I was two years old. Alice had just put me down for bed. Jasper and Alice were sitting down stairs with the TV on low. 10 pm came around. I screamed. A man had come in to my room through my window and pulled me out of my crib. He grabbed a blanket and left the same way he came in.
~Flashback~
I was in my crib. – I don't know why I remember this. I was only 2 but I do – I saw a ladder hit my window. I scared me. I looked at the window and saw a man opening my window. I screamed, but no one came. When the man got in to my room. I screamed again, but again no one came. The man grabbed a blanket. I screamed one more time but this time he put his hand over my mouth.
The man quickly wrapped the blanket around me. He pulled me close to him. He climbed out the window. He slid down the ladder. He pushed the ladder in to the mud. I looked back to my window. I saw a light come on. Then I heard my mother scream. The man ran as fast as he could. He kept running and running. Finally we stopped. He got to a house and ducked through the basement window. He put me in some kind of chair with straps. It kind of reminded me of my high chair at home. I looked around.
The place smelled really bad. The place looked like some kind of factory. The man came back and he took me out of the chair. I was put in to another bunch of straps. I looked up. The straps were connected to a moving arm. I watched the man. He walked over the arm. He turned it on and I started to move. He lowered me closer to the liquid. I took a sniff. The liquid did not smell bad. The man lowered me right in to the liquid. I ended up swallowing some. I choked a little.
Then I heard the worst sound. The straps gave way and broke. I fell deeper in to the liquid. The man got off the arm and jumped in. Was this guy nuts? I did not know. He grabbed me and pushed me up to the dry ground. I climbed up. I looked back. He couldn't get to ground fast enough. He was pulled under. I waited for about 3 hours. He never came back up. Why did he save me? He could have let me die. I didn't understand it.
I walked around the place. I found what looked like an office. I climbed up on to the chair I saw some folders on the desk. I looked at the folders. I saw pictures of buildings on them. I looked at all the folders until I found the one that had a picture that looked like this building. I opened it up. I figured that it would be useless because I could not read, but I still looked anyway. So this place was a testing place to test products to help toddlers develop their brain faster. But the production was stopped due to it was fatal if large amounts were taken.
So that is was he saved me. Plus that confirmed that he was dead. It took 6 months for my parents to find me. I remember the day. I was up on a platform just minding my own business. When I heard BANG! That freaked me out, I quickly but quietly pulled the ropes and straps up. It was the only way to get up here. I hid in the shadows.
Then I heard it. "Sofia! Are you here? Sofia if you are here please answer me." It was Alice my mom. I saw Alice I watched Jasper head in to another room. I heard Alice cry as she spoke again, "Sofia… Please. Answer me if you can hear me." "Are you and Jasper the only ones here?" I stayed in the shadows but I could still see Alice. "Yes, it is just I and my husband Jasper. Please let our little girl go." I laughed.
I strapped myself in to the harness and lowered myself enough so Alice would be able to see me but not enough that she could reach me. "I'm surprised mom. You don't even know my voice." "Sofia? Where are you?" "Turn around." Alice turned around. "Sofia!" I smiled. "Let's get you out of here before the man that took you comes back." I shook my head. "He is dead."
I told my mother everything. I went back up to the platform. I unhooked myself and gave the rope to my mother. She pulled herself up. Jasper came back in to the room. I peeked over platform. "Hi. Daddy." Jasper looked up. "Sofia! Are you hurt?" I shook my head. "Mom is up here with me." I tossed the rope down to my dad. He pulled himself up.
Mom explained everything to dad. I walked over to the table and grabbed the folder. I handed it to mom and dad. They were shocked. I dunked in to a liquid that was supposed to help toddler's brains develop faster. Alice and Jasper hugged me tight. They were only glad that I was back in their arms and that I was alive.
~End flashback~
That is how I became as smart as I did. I learned fast on, who to tell people I smart and who to act dumb with. It has been 4 years since that happened; I still remember it like it was yesterday, though. "Sofia?" I looked up from the book I was reading. "Yes, Mom?" Alice came in to the living room. Jasper was followed right behind her. Jasper picked me up and put me on his lap.
Alice sat in front of Jasper. "Sofia. Mom and I want you to know that soon we will have another baby in the house." "So mom is pregnant then?" Alice spoke up. "Yes. I'm sorry if this upsets you." I looked up at Alice. I climbed out of Jasper's lap and hugged my mother tight. "I have always wanted a sibling." I bounced up and down on the couch Jasper and Alice only laughed at my happiness.
I skipped along up to my room with my book. I was happy I was going to be able to have someone small then me. Someone I could take care of. I went in to my room. I closed my door and jumped on my bed. I laid on my and finished reading my book. I drift off to sleep to take a nap.
Author's Notes: There is a link for Sofia's new room, now that she doesn't sleep in a crib anymore. So? What do you think? PLEASE, Read AND Review! :D
