Pearl pov

My name is Pearl ,I'm 16 this year ,my dad died when I was just a child , what's weird and strange is that no one knew how he died or where his corpse are till today ,it's as if he disappeared into thin air ,I asked my mom and she claimed she didn't want to talk about it that it was so tragic and sad .

I walked into my class ,and was greeted by my friend Sam " hey ,my queen ,what's up ?" ,I replied as I sat down on my seat next to hers " it's just like always ,what about yours ,I heard you had an argument with Jake again ,what's the issue this time?" I giggled ,Sam known as Samantha always argued with Jake for even the tinniest thing that shouldn't even be a problem , and I pity the poor thing ,how did he hold on for 2 years now ,I guess he really likes her ,I laughed when I saw her cursed , actually in this class I'm the youngest, with everyone older than me in this class cause I skipped grades due to my hard work ,yeah hard work ,I read and studied hard without using any connection or scheme whatsoever, really not because of connections, my family wasn't doing great either ,I attended school through the help of scholarships, not that it's not affordable,its just that....i didn't want to be a burden.

" He bought me the wrong flavoured cake ,and claims he thought I loved it ,when clearly I change my preference for cakes as time goes ,he's crazy to argue back ,what a jerk !" Her words broke me from my thoughts ,Yes ,Sam was that kind of person ,she likes one thing one day and gets tired of it the next ,i just couldn't help but sigh " seriously!?" .Sam feeling guilty yelled " what ! ,you know my preference but why doesn't he remember!" She replied with an expression that made me want to slap her at the same time made me feel helpless,just as I was about scolding her and teach her how life works ,our teacher arrived making the noisy class quiet for a while " hi student !" And the whole class echoed a greeting in return, her name was miss Kim , she is our physics teacher ,she claims physics is like an ancient emperor with many concubines and children, that's why it's hard to calculate,and has challenging formulas ,but once you knew how many concubines he had and how many children with their powers and characters,it's all simple !!!!!,that logic is so off !!!!!!! . As miss Kim wrote on the chalk board,Sam pinched me and muttered " I heard miss Kim is dating our gym teacher !" , " really?" i wasn't interested much in the personal affairs of teachers but I couldn't help but be nosy when it came to miss Kim , she lived nearby and had a younger brother who's my friend , Alex , he made me an informant to tell him everything about his sister so I was a spy , every information I gave ,I earn a dollar or more ,'it's not big but it's manageable' , I thought inwardly and Sam replied "Yeah ,even some students saw them in a coffee shop together ,I even saw them cuddling at the restaurant nearby and when they both saw me they pushed each other and acted 360 , I guess they don't want to make it public,hahaha" , i nodded in agreement,it's normal for teacher to hide that they're dating a fellow teacher ,it's not surprising for miss Kim to hide it from everyone. But this sure would earn me a lot , Alex would definitely give me a tip . The Class ended quickly with Sam sleeping, I tapped her as it was break time and we needed to get to the cafeteria before break would be over . " Sam,sam ,wake up !" She wakes up groggily and groan " what ?!" ,I sighed " aren't you starving?" ,she hissed and whines " Go eat yourself!" I couldn't help but shudder there was a reason I didn't like to go to the cafeteria alone ,because of my bully , Jacob.

Sam and I walked towards the cafeteria, it was so noisy, just from afar, 'if it were quiet, then something's wrong right? ' 🙄 my inner mind sneered, since I was a kid there's this voice that always talked to me, it tells me what to do and what not to, finding a friend was hard, I rely only on her, my mind ! At first,, I thought I was crazy, but I slowly got used to it, but these days it became less talkative which was good for me,so I wouldn't feel like a weirdo in school. " Wait,I forgot to touch my makeup !" Sam holds her face as she hid behind me, I rolled my eyes "really, do you have to touch your makeup now, right now !" "Hey I'm not as pretty as you !, you attract every guy,, but I can't without makeup, gees, the truth hurts !" I scoffed, yes I'm pretty, and I'm narcissistic about it, I had beautiful red velvet eyes, and waist length white wavy hair, I wonder who I got those from, I guess my dad, I haven't seen him before, not even his photo, my mom never kept one, she said my dad doesn't like taking pictures, so she never had one to keep when he died, a lot of boys tried pursuing me, but it's not that I didn't want to date or that I thInk lowly of them.... I just wanted to focus on my studies and make my mom proud .....even though she doesn't appreciate it and besides I'm young, just 16, dating shouldn't be my thing. " Okay, I'll follow you, what's the point of touching your makeup when we're already here, huh?" I grumbled feeling annoyed, how did we become friends in the first place !!!, she scoffed, and we made a U-turn , with she still using my back as a shield till we got to the bathroom, she touched her makeup and handed me a lipstick, confused I asked "what ?" She paused and gesture "you might be pretty but, putting a little won't hurt !" I stated my basics "I don't like to makeup, one I'm allergic to it, two I'm not willing", she sneered and kept touching her makeup as she muttered "you're just being proud and arrogant, just because you're pretty, you know... Pretty girls don't end well" she walked towards me with a glint of mischief in her black eyes, she was always like this, I sighed and argued back "what are you going to do?,harm me?,Sam I know you guys think I'm arrogant just because my uncle owns the school, everything I've done is by my own hard effort, not by connection, I've always told you my relationship with my uncle isn't what it seems, he .." "ooo, just shut up, everyone knows how much your uncle loves you, he treats you better than his own kids, I've seen bitches like you, you think i don't know you were trying to snatch Jake from me, huh?" I stood still surprised, only silence remained, how did it get to this,one period we were chatting and the next we were arguing, why?!, is this what she thought of me ? We stood still looking at each other with our own thoughts in mind, I laughed as tears welled up in my eyes making my vision blurry "thanks a lot Sam, really I would expect this kind of distrust from everyone but not you, and about trying to steal Jake, what made you feel so, we've being friends for 2 years now, what made you feel that I would snatch your lover from you, am I that kind of person in your eyes, ..." I took a deep breath,maybe I should cool off, getting angry doesn't work out for me, I either become mute or I stutter, so I really tried to calm down,I turned to leave when Sam held me back by my arms, she sobbed and said "sorry,okay,I freaked out, I didn't mean anything I said, I just feel messed up and insecure, cause I had a fight with Jake okay, I'm sorry, Pearl, please forgive me, please !" I stood silently in front of her, I knew I would weaken ones she apologized,I sighed and smiled, " it's okay, after all we're friends, we make mistakes", she smiled too and then our stomachs growls and we both laughed , I guess our stomachs were protesting.' Pearl ,do you still want to be friends with her , there's something off ,be careful ' the voice in my mind echoed and I know ,Sam acted weird today too, though it's her usual character ,today was so strange but

what can I do ?.

We walked hand in hand as we head to the cafeteria,I don't think there's much time left before the break would be over , " Pearl are you still upset ?" Sam sobbed ,I stopped and held her hand ,giving her a reassuring smile " it's okay ,let's act like it never happened okay ,let's go ,if the break period is over then we have no choice but to head back" she nodded and we walked into the cafeteria, only to see Jake waving at us ,he sat alone in the spot we always ate in , I smiled and turned to see Sam acting all stubborn,with both hands in front of her chest ,and facing the opposite direction,i nodged her and she groan wanting to leave but I grabbed her and dragged her all the way to where Jake was ," Hi Jake ,what's up ?" Jake smiled at me and then fixed his gaze on Sam , looking pitiful,I looked at Sam and signal her with her eyes ,she rolled her eyes and stood straight ,yelling at Jake " what do you think you're to act like I'm the one at fault when clearly ,as a boyfriend you forgot what your girlfriend likes aren't you ashame of..." I sharply interrupted" that's enough , I thought we talked about this . Jake I'm sorry ,Sam needs time to cool off !" I said with the later sentence directed at Jake ,I angrily dragged Sam away as she kept struggling until we got to class , " what's up with you ?" I knew Sam had princess syndrome since her family was rich ,but that didn't mean she could treat us her friends like this, especially Jake , he's a good guy and my childhood friend,she couldn't just get angry for the tinniest things ,jake was always busy ,he's family was poor and he had to do a lot of part-time job ,as well as studying hard to earn scholarships .

" What did I do wrong , at first he claimed he couldn't afford the stuff I want , everytime we go shopping,he kept trying to lower the price ,taking me to poor down to hell places to eat ,like hell it's my fault he's poor and so low class..." I couldn't help but I slap her , I took a deep breath and turned to leave but saw Jake standing at the door of the class room his eyes filled with complex emotions " j.. Jake.." I tried calling him but stuttered instead,he left quickly ' did I just see him crying, he must have been really sad' -the voice in my head,i sighed,feeling sad ,and left without glancing at Sam . I didn't feel like going back to that class or meeting Sam again today ,I just wanted to be alone ,I wandered not even knowing where I was going I just subconsciously walked to an empty class ,I turned wanting to head somewhere else,only to bump into a wall of flesh , the fragrance emitting from the person couldn't help but make me shiver , I slowly raised my head and gasped " j... Jacob!" He leaned down to my height and smirked " why did I not see you at the cafeteria,are you running from me ,you little slave?" ' oh no , we're doomed ' little me quivered , " young master ,w..what do you want from a small insignificant thing like me ?" ,Jacob laughed at my words ,he always made me say this ,but I had to before he forced me again ,I hate him ,he bullied no one but me ,he was handsome with those black short hair and blue eyes and a wonderful god like face and body ,that he didn't deserve ,he had a lot of followers I meant "girlfriends" that always looked for him , and followed him everywhere like bees , just to please him they make me a punching bag, pitiful me ! ,I was already disliked for being poor now I'm more disliked for catching Jacob's attention, clearly he hates me !!!! so why make it seem like it's the opposite . " Good girl , now my car is a little bit dirty , go wash it and then , come see me after that , okay ! " he smirked and walked arrogantly out of my line if sight ,I wiped my cold sweat off my face ,my back was drench, that smirk could kill I swear , I sobbed inwardly, ' he just said , his car is a little dirty , that means... ' little me yelped ,I sobbed even more , it meant that his car wasn't easy to wash .I'm doomed!!!!!!!.
