HEALING IN HIS ARMS

★

She topped it with a corset top and one of her numerous black boots.

The chains in the boot were clanging as she climbed down the stairs, hanging her backpack on her right arm.

She only straightened her hair, did a light make-up and her favorite lipstick, and she's still just as beautiful...she has always been.

"Pearl bby!" Her mum rushed to her when she walked past the living room.

"Ma, I'm late already" she said without waiting.

"You have a lash on your face" the woman pulled her back and removed the lash gently.

Pearl hugged her afterwards.

Her mum understands her more than any fuçking body, and that's why she'd always be her favorite person.

"I love you" the woman smiled after they broke the hug, and Pearl replied with a kiss on her cheek before finally leaving.

She hopped in her black convertible car at the driveway and rolled it out of the mansion.

The street air welcomed her skin like an old friend when she opened the sunroof.

Her hair almost became disheveled again, but she was sweeping the waves back with her hand till she got to school.

She drove into Legacy college and pulled up at the wide@ss park.

Immediately she came down and saw her friends waiting for her already, she smiled.

"I'm the last one this morning huh?"

"Yeah, Sofia the last" Morgan replied, and Pearl gave her the middle finger which made her laugh out.

Morgan Young is the gossip queen of the friendship, the funny humorous one.

Beside her, there's Lizzy Greene, the fashion icon who's got the trendiest fashion sense in this whole campus.

"Where's Bekah?" Pearl asked when she got to them, and the fourth friend immediately came out of her car, elegant as fûck.

Rebekah Van Doren, the princess of this island. Her parents rule Terraverde, so she's a royal blood, the richest in the friendship.

"Here I am!" Rebekah winked, hugging Pearl fondly.

"Now we need to talk about what Morgan did last night" Lizzy said, adjusting her fur coat.

"Are you kidding? You guys drank the alcohol as soon as it hit the table, not my fault" Morgan rolled eyes defensively.

"We wouldn't drink if you didn't bring the bottles, bîtch. You know my condition!" Lizzy rolled eyes too.

Pearl and Rebekah began laughing.

Lizzy and Morgan behave like enemies most of the times.

"Can we just go to class already?" Pearl cut in, and Lizzy grunted.

"I have a gist though" Morgan smiled.

"Spill" The three chorused.

"I saw my dad's dîck this morning, and I almost cried for mum. It's small!" Morgan said unfiltered.

"Eew! Gross!" Pearl squeezed her face.

"You're sick, Morgan" Rebekah laughed as Pearl pulled her into the campus.

"Crazy @ss" Lizzy laughed, and Morgan joined her as they sashayed to catch up with the girls.

As they walked deeper into the school, greetings came for the girls from several hallways.

Morgan's gossip mates wave at her almost every minute, and Lizzy's fashion wannabes won't stop saying hi to her.

Rebekah as the princess doesn't need to try, she's always greeted respectfully.

Pearl might be popular like them, but no one relates with her at all.

She got her phone and went online to distract herself, then someone bumped into her.

The phone fell, and she smirked as she looked up to meet the nonchalant eyes of Rook, the crazily tattooed guy.

He smirked too, and eyes widened around them when students saw what just happened.

"Do you have cataract or something? You don't just bump into me and stand there like a moron! Pick my phone!" Pearl snapped angrily, and eyes widened again.

Gasps filled the hallway, and the crowd multiplied, no one wants to miss this spectacle.

Rook is the most feared guy in this whole school. Firstly, because his father is Master X who runs an underground casino.

Secondly, because Rookhimself is the leader of The Titans, a dangerous frat club in the campus.

No one argues with him, else, the outcome will be ugly.

"Pick your fuçking phone for you?" Rook's brows tightened.

"Heck yeah, you knocked it down bastard!" Pearl went closer to him, and he scoffed.

* Her again?

* And it's Pearl this time?

* Gawd, I hate her!

Mouths began running as the scene got tensed.

Rook will never pick the phone, and it's obvious Pearl will not take that.

Her friends just stayed with the crowd, watching.

When something like this happens, it's a waste of time to try to stop her cos Pearl never listens to anyone.

"Pick it!" Pearl glared at Rook again, and he was about to grab her by the neck when the scene changed.

Someone entered the hallway, and all attention turned to him.

Students made way for him, and girls began, wetting their pants and gasping as admiration dazzled in their eyes.
