My life is in danger and there is only one way I know to save to my life. To fake my own death and change everything about myself even my sex. I watched my reflection as I cut my hair into to buzz cut and dyed it into black from it natural state of blond.

I looked back at my reflection and noticed I still look like a girl; I need to lose some face fat and gain some muscle for this to work.

Chapter 1

"Hey dude, I'm coming with my girlfriend tonight so you know the drill" I squeezed my face in disgust.

"Don't worry, I will be over at Stan's. I would very much like to sleep this night" my roommate shrugged as he grabbed his backpack and walked out of our apartment. My name is Isabella Rosalinda Charles the third, a princess born in Spain. My family was murdered ten years ago and I have been living as a boy, all these years with no one finding out about my true identity. I knew my family's killers; they are currently on the throne right now.

I have been going by my last name Charles and I have been living with Scott for the past two years as roommates. We both attend nyc, and I'm in my finally year in med school. I'm twenty-five years old, 5ft9. Staying in the united state hide my Spanish accent.

I could remember the first time I met Scott, he thought I was weird, I mean I'm always on clothes no matter how hot the weather is, I'm only grateful that I have small boobs that was easy to hide.

When I started living my life as a guy, it was difficult, I had no money, no family nothing, all I had was my family heirloom and the royal seal, which I had kept where no one would find it. I started working two jobs being a princess

It was frustrating. I had everything done for me but one day changed everything. I had to carry heavy load, worked forty hours a week to earn enough. I studied hard and got a scholarship to study here that was the only luck I had.

I work to feed, for shelter, for clothes to wear and necessities. You wouldn't want to know about when I was seeing my period, it was horrible but over the years I got stronger and now living like a boy is easier. The hardship made it easier for me.

I was walking down Fourth Street when a girl was walking and chatting on her phone at the same time. She didn't notice the car rushing straight at her cause she was so engrossed on her phone and ears were block with her headphones so she couldn't hear the horn from the car. I jumped and push her out of the road, the car barley missing me by a few inches.

"You saved my life" she said breathlessly, I think my heart was pounding more than hers

"You should have been more careful" I scolded her. I gasped when she surprised me by jumping into my arms as she hugged me tight.

"Thank you for saving my life" she was small but she was cutting my air supply by the way she was squeezing me tight.

"Emm you are welcome. Do you mind?" she released me immediately like as if I burned her.

"Oh sorry" then she hide her face like a teenage virgin and blush.

"How can I ever repay you?" she asked batting her eyelashes. Is she flirting with me? "Can we have dinner?"

"Em no. I have to go" I stood up and helped her up.

"Please" she called after me as I was walking away

"I'm busy," I said coldly

"Then at least tell me your name" it wasn't like I was ever going to see her again.

"Charles" I told her

"My name is Gabriela," she said and I froze, I turned looking in her direction but she was already walking away with her back turned away from me. It couldn't be, it has to be a coincidence.

Flashback

"Get dressed sweetie, Gabriela will be here soon" I picked a pink gown and got ready for my tea party date with my best friend. I was almost seven all we could think about was tiara and being a princess. Gabriela was my best friend till I turned twelve and I never saw her after she admitted that she has a crush on my brother and I laughed in her face. I guess she was shy or embarrassed because I thought my brother was gross.

End of flash back.

Was it just a coincidence that she was in New York, could someone be trying to kill here and I was there at the same time she was, could someone have found out my secret.
