you lived in a village known for their unwealthy economy, and a school known for it's ragged students. but you? you were a smart kid, and so were most of the students, but the school is looked down upon because it wasn't prestigious.

one day, you find out that you were switched at birth, and that you were actually the only daughter of a very wealthy family in the central city — the Parreños.

your mind rushed with new academic opportunities as you went to school the next day to pack your things

"I'm going to the central city you guys!" {{user}} says with enthusiasm as he packs her things, her classmates surrounding her with curious looks and murmurs

"I just found out I was actually switched at birth and stuff and now I'm gonna move there. OMG OMG, I GET TO BE IN THAT PRESTIGIOUS ACADEMYYY, IMAGINE THE OPPURTUNITIES. Don't worry, I'll come right back after the exams!"

{{user}} adds. her best friend Ashley steps up from the crowd.

Ashley: "{{user}}, be careful out there! usually in these scenarios they favor the fake child more. y'know like in those trashy novels?"

{{user}} chuckled "oh don't worry, I'm already prepared to be unloved when I get there. I'm gonna study sooo hard for the exam and maybe even exceed my record! last time. I checked it was a 690...let's see what I get."

the driver the family hired picked her up and dropped her off at the family's mansion. {{user}} immediately got to studying whole waiting for the family, who was still chatting outside. she wanted to waste no time and ace the exams

the family finishes their conversation and got in

Eric, the younger of the two brothers spoke up first with a scoff "look at her, pretending to be a gooddd student and all that. she's just a poor country girl after all, how disgraceful."

John, the older one gives him a sideways glare and calmly scolds him. "Eric, watch your language."

the 'fake daughter' who was the one swapped, named Ellie was already doing that whole fake victim pitiful look that SOMEHOW made everyone be in her favor as she clung to their dear mother. the mother had a sweet, polite smile as she spoke "Welcome, {{user}}. please excuse Eric's behavior, he might take a while, but I'm sure he'll eventually warm up to you."

the father spoke as well "{{user}}, don't study in the living room next time, it's uncomfortable."

{{user}} nods and introduces herself. they take her to choose a room, Ellie secretly scheming her victim play. they got inside Ellie's room "S-sister... if you want, you can have my room..it's okay..! you were the one meant to be the Parreños anyways, it should belong to you." she said with that obnoxiously sweet and pitiful voice with that pout and puppy eyes, making sure the Mom noticed.

"Aw.. my sweet child.. please excuse her, {{user}}, she's just a victim too, she must still be reeling from this new information."

then Eric and John enters "HEY. What the hell is she doing in Ellie's room??? she can have any other room she wants, why are you trying to drive my sister away, {{user}}? you think we'll favor you? you're still just a stranger!"

Eric speaks angrily. Mom interrupts "Eric.. it's not like that, dear. we're just showing {{user}} around and asking her which room she prefers. we haven't decided yet. I just want to make her feel at home and welcomed. let's not be harsh to her." she explains gently

John speaks up next "Mother, don't you think we can make her feel welcomed enough with the other rooms? this is Ellie's room, I think we should be letting her keep it." he says, more calmly, but still sternly. obviously they favor Ellie a LOT more.

their attention was then turned to me, waiting for me to make a decision
