The Strange Stranger
She softly pushed the door open and walked inside her house, removing shoes.
Pearl's Mom
Welcome back, darling. Had fun?
As soon as she flew to her room after cleaning up, she received a call.
🎵Bzzzt~ Eyes~ So doleful~
She picked it up.
Pearl's dad
Hello, Pea. How are you?
Pearl smiled through the phone.
Pearl
I'm good now that you called me, dada. How about you?
Pearl's dad
Same, Pea. I'm well.
Pearl's dad
Do you remember the bird's tale I told you?
The oblivious girl's father sighed.
Pearl was forgetful of her childhood memories.
Pearl's dad
Let me tell you once again, then.
Pearl
Yes, wait, I'll cover myself up in blankets.
She settled in her bed before his lovable father narrated the tale to her.
Pearl
Dammnn. This story of yours needs a nobel prize or something!
Her father chuckled.
Even though Pearl was a grown up now, she was still the same little child who used to snuggle into his dad's arms and listen to stories with great interest.
Pearl's dad
Pea, I need to hang up now. Work has arrived.
Pearl
Oh! Okay..Take care of yourself.
Pearl's dad
You too. Don't stay awake for long, good night.
doot doot doot~
The call hung up as the girl watched the screen. It'd be a radical lie if she says she doesn't miss her father.
She missed the days when he was with her, around her.
Pearl
Aishh, neva mind~ Let's check that game now.
Second La Vida.
She wondered what it was actually.
She immediately turned on her wifi, following by installing the game.
Once it was done, she started it.
Pearl
I'm sure I'm a female.

She whined. She couldn't even chat for more than a minute!
Pearl
Let's try joining another server.
🔵You have successfully joined the room🔵
Pearl
Why is there only a single user here? Unpopular server..
Pearl
But shit, he–he is so hot– Shi, It's just an avatar. Calm your tits, Pea.
Pearl
I'll try to start a conversation.
Pearl
💬 hey man in black. nice attire!
Pearl
Is this the end of the conversation?
Pearl
💬 ur username sounds cool, quite unique.
Pearl
His every text puts an end to the conversation, doesn't it?
Pearl
As if he doesn't want to talk to anyone.
CASPER
💬 How are you liking the game so far?
Pearl
He fhucking asked me a question- I- Try to act normal, Pea.
Pearl

CASPER
💬 What a coincidence. I reside there currently.
Pearl
Oh, wow. What a small world, ain't it?
🔵CASPER has left the room🔵
Pearl
Did he seriously leave, giving me his id?
Pearl
Oh my god, humans these days.
Pearl rolled her eyes as she proceeded to exit the game.
Pearl
But..I am a human too, ain't I? I'll just search the ID up-
She typed the username in instagram's search bar.

Pearl
Wow, he must have a profound love for zeroes..
Pea almost had clicked on the 'message' button when she retreated her fingers.
Pearl
Eh, I won't text a strange stranger!
Pearl
Good morning, idiots.
The guy almost drooled over his imagination upon delicious noshes.
Luca
Stay away, your breathe stinks.
Austin scoffed while Summer laughed. These guys...
Luca
Yes, I have one with you and Austy. C'mon, bro.
Austin
Don't you 'bro' me after calling my breath stinky.
Luca dragged away the guy with him while Pearlie followed.
Pearl
Haha, see you, Summer!
Pearl
( I wonder how Casper looks in real.. )
Pearl
( Why did he give me his I'd? Does he type his account to everyone? Eh. )
Pearl
( Although I'll never text him! )
Pearl
( Why would even I? )
Till now, she had sank quite deep in her thoughts, between class.
Mr. James
So, who will answer this question?
Pearl
( But I want to text him I don't f*cking know why. )
Pearl
( Why is the guy whom I don't even know running in my mind? )
Getting no response from the 'lost in thoughts Pearl', mr.teacher walked upto her desk and slammed his hands flat on the surface.
Mr. James
Earth to Miss Abbe!
Pearl
Oh my god, please don't scream in my ears. They're really sensitive–
A loud wheeze was next heard, escaping from other students' mouth.
Smoke was almost visible coming out of Mr.James' ears.
Pearl
( Shit, I almost forgot that I'm in class, shit. )
Pearl
( I'm dead meat... )
Luca
Excuse me, sir. I know the answer.
Luca
It's a law that states arrested person shouldn't be kept in prison longer than a specific period unless a judge in a court of law has justified it.
Mr. James
Yes, absolutely correct! I'm so proud having such a brilliant student in my class!
Pearl
( He saved me. Lord, thank you. )
Luca winked at her before she rolled her eyes.
Luca
Heey babie, won't you thank me with a kiss?
Pearl
Dream on, white-haired..
Luca paused before his mind arose a question.
Luca
Did you try the game?
Pearl
It was cool, I'll say.
Pearl
I even talked to two men.
Luca
Oh yeah, mennn..nice. I see.
Luca said, forcing himself into a smile.
Pearl
There's nothing to be jealous upon, Luc!
Pearl chuckled out as she hit the guy softly with her elbow.
The guy sighed as he let go of the annoyance.
Luca
Anyway, my username is luckyluc.
Luca
Add me when you open it again.
Pearl
Let's text HIM..I can't help but do it. What's wrong in doing it anyways?
Pearl
I will text him with a different ID– an ID without my photos..hehehe.
Oh, believe me, you're the most silly person around.
¯\_༼ •́ ͜ʖ •̀ ༽_/¯
Pearl
( Damn, he replied instantly. )
0cas_p_erfx
💬 Oh btw, I'm a 14 year old. Don't you catch weird feelings on me. Aight?
Pearl
( What the- Do I sound like some girl who would look for dîcks online?! Oh c'mon, I have a boyfriend. )
