FALLING FOR THE BEAST

Pearl pov

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 ?.
