The Missing SOFIA
Bab~01

SOFIA ANDERSON

"You're seriously moving to SG University? the university where the rich are ?" said a sweet girl to her best friend when college hours were over, they appeared out of the campus and down the streets of suburban California that afternoon.

The rain that has just subsided makes the weather more cold also appears some puddles mixed with mud on some of the hollow roads.

"Hm, my father has got his scholarship and next semester I have to move there." said the friend who is known as Sofia, a beautiful girl with both dimples on her cheeks which made her even more dazzling when smiling.

"Please think once again Sofia, I know your father did it for your good but not in SG either. The university is terrible, many students from the lower class like us do not last long there." beg the friend named Sarah.

"really ?" Sofia seemed to be in disbelief, because she had never found out about the university before.

"Jeez Sofia, where have you been all this time ?" Sarah looks anxious with her best friend who can miss the viral news among teenagers her age.

"I? of course it works. Since my father is sickly I have to replace him for a living, if we don't want to eat anything." Sofia said honestly.

"I'm sorry I haven't been able to help you" said Sarah, whose family's fate is no different from Sofia's, simple suburban California life.

"Don't think of me, look at me I have strong muscles. I'm still quite capable of working as a newsboy every morning and in a restaurant at night." Sofia said with an ever-exciting face, no sadness in her eyes despite her lack of circumstances.

For the past year Sofia had to slam bones when the father was sentenced to suffer from acute lungs and inevitably he replaced the role of his father in helping to make a living.

"So please think again, I don't want anything to happen to you Sofia." Please Sarah again.

"What's that scary ?" timpal Sofia and at the same time it was seen a luxury sports car passing through a puddle of rain not far from them on foot to the clothes of Sofia.

"You okay? your clothes are so dirty Sofia." Sarah helped clean her best friend's clothes.

"Hey brash, stop you !!" sofia shouted in annoyance when she realized her clothes had been wet with mud, it would definitely be difficult to clean them.

"Jeez Sofia, we're dead. Why are you yelling at him ?" Sarah seemed to gulp her saliva when the passing sports car suddenly retreated and approached them.

"Why is your face like that? good dong he stopped because he had to account for his actions." Sofia seemed surprised by the attitude of her best friend who was suddenly frightened when she saw the car stopped not far in front of her.

After that, a handsome man came out of the car with a grinning smile and was followed by another man who looked so cute.

The young man with sunglasses perched on his nose appeared to fold both hands in front of his chest and leaned on the shoulder of his car.

While the other young man seemed to step closer with a face mocking him.

"Hey mud girl, you called us ?" he said arrogantly.

Sofia who had lived her life with a heavy weight of course was not afraid to face the rich man, now the girl boldly stepped forward and followed by Sarah who hid behind her back.

"Have you never taught me manners in driving huh? or maybe your driving license is a bribe, you rich snobs ?" cibir Sofia pointed at the man.

"You !!" the man immediately grumbled.

While the other young man who had been watching his friend's debate and the girl seemed to lift the corner of his lips.

"Truly interesting." he muttered as he stared at Sofia from behind his sunglasses.

"Basar poor girl did not know in profit." the man who was arguing with Sofia immediately pushed the woman's body and then when he was about to hit him the young man who was leaning on the shoulder of his car seemed to exclaim.

"Stop, George !!" he said and immediately the man's fist stopped in the air.

It seemed like the young man in black glasses was so influential that his words made his friend obey him immediately.

Then the young man seemed to take the wallet out of his pants pocket and then took out some money.

"This is what you want ?" he said as he looked towards Sofia and then threw the money sheet in front of the woman until it splashed on the ground.

After that the young man immediately opened the door of his car and immediately went inside.

"Based on the poor girl." ridiculed the other young man who was about to hit Sofia, then followed into his car and immediately left the place.

"Truly a rich man si4l4n." said Sofia while picking up the money sheet, of course he took the money as a fare to wash his clothes are quite dirty.

"This is more than enough, Sofia." said Sarah when she saw the money sheet in the hands of her best friend.

"Later the rest I return, we are indeed poor but we are not illegal money eaters" Sofia said as she looked at her best friend.

"So do you still intend to enter SG university after what has happened ?" then Sarah said.

"You mean ?" Sofia doesn't seem to understand.

"You know who those two men are ?" ask Sarah again.

"Don't know and it's none of my business." said Sofia cuek and then again stepped foot towards the stop not far in front of him.

"They are SG students" explained Sarah and suddenly made Sofia stop her steps and look at her best friend.

"The young man who wanted to hit you earlier was George Hudson the son of hotel manager Smith and the other very handsome was Ariel Smith, the young master in the Smith family is the first largest shareholder of the Smith Group university or SG and is currently in addition to being a final semester student, he also served as a chief director at one of his extended family companies." sarah explained enthusiastically because the young people and girls at SG university were like idols for lowly teenagers like her.

ARIEL SMITH

"What does this have to do with me ?" said Sofia innocently that immediately made her best friend was annoyed and anxious.

"Jeez Sofia, it looks like your brain needs a re-upgrade" he said later.

"Sarah, I went to that university to seek knowledge, not anything else. I don't care who they are, because to me my father's happiness is paramount. If my father really wanted me to go to college there for our future, I wouldn't have a problem even if it was hard." Sofia explained later.

"Whatever's important I've reminded." Sarah still seems annoyed with the stubborn attitude of her best friend.
