FALLING FOR THE BEAST

Pearl POV

School ended quickly with me not attending much, I felt down but mostly positive, at least Jacob spared me today which is so rare and then, I'll earn money through the information of miss. Kim, just thinking about it made me hurry to his place, I walked out of school and slowly trekked, till I saw Jake with his friends entering a bar, in the evening, safe but not good at all, what should do, should I go help ? , I crossed the street, and just as I was about entering Jake came out again, and we bumped into each other, "sorry" I muttered, I didn't expect him to come out quickly, "it's nothing, do you work at this bar now, you're way too young for that !" Jake replied his voice hoarse and eyes red, was he really heartbroken, curse Sam how could she break such a boy like that, so heartless. " No!! , I don't work here, my parents won't agree, actually I saw you going in, so I was afraid you'll get drunk or beaten, so I just followed out of concern, nothing else!" , he stared at me for a while and smiled ruffling my hair "I see, thanks, but I just didn't feel like drinking anymore, why should I vent and cry my heart out, when the other party don't deserve it !" I widened my eyes what does he mean, does he not like Sam." I have got to go, I'll be late" "sure, bye, let's see at school tomorrow!" he yelled as I ran, I swiftly turn still running and nodded before waving and turning back to run to my destination for the day, Alex's house. And as usual, he was throwing a party, we lived nearby, just a few blocks apart. I yelled "Alex!!!, Alex !!!" my voice was drowned by the music, I've made up my mind, I must earn the money I deserve !!! , I climbed his fence and quickly got in as his fence wasn't so tall, I got in after jumping down only to see what ruined my teenage innocence, boys with bare upper body dancing and swimming in his swimming pool, with girls in bikinis, and high heels, I closed my eyes with my hands, he hasn't hosted such a party before why now, it must had been his friend, Dave, ideas, I quickly traced my footstep to the living room, only to see it rowdier than outside, I walked slowly, why people made way, maybe because I look off with their dress codes, I just wanted to see Alex and get my money, and I finally saw him, he was talking with his so-called friend Dave. He took a quick glance at me and then retracted only to turn back and smile, while I waved in return as he walked towards me, I saw Dave,, but I chose to ignore, he isn't someone to be friends with.

IN HIS ROOM

" So what's up, did you run here or what ?" Alex smirked, he was so ravishing when he did that, with those blonde hair and blue eyes, don't get me wrong I just love handsome guys. No wonder Lola said I have some kind of charm or spell to be able to keep handsome guys around me, like Jake, Jacob, Alex, although they're handsome, they're also my friends to put it out bluntly except from Jacob !. " I have hot news, senior "I saluted with my hands on my head as I Holt and stood chest out. He laughed and sat by the bed, as he laid down, with his hand supporting his face. " So what's the news ?" . I squatted to his level and whispered "miss Kim... I mean your sister …" " She's not my sister !" " Ooh, my mistake, sorry !" " Miss Kim seems to be dating a teacher in my school "Alex sat up and asked curiously" who? " Then it was my turn to smirk, I stood up straight and said nonchalantly" I get paid for my service, who knows if I spill the beans I might go home empty "I moved a few steps from him, and he gave me a dark look before, putting his hands in his pocket and then bringing out a ward of cash and placing it on the table "now tell me !" " just one question, one question okay, what's miss. Kim to you if not your sister ?" " none of your business! " It was the first time I saw him angry, so I nodded took the cash "it's the gym teacher at our school, his name is Evan, he used to be in the army before he retired, because his arm injury relapsed again" I said and walked away, I didn't want to stay here any longer, I also don't want to go home, it's so frustrating, 'should we go meet Lola' little me asked 'no, I haven't forgiven her yet !' ' okay, I won't forgive her either' . Soon I arrived at the gate of my house, this home wasn't a home for me, it's so ironic to call it one.
