C6 Special Pearl

"It’s not your fault, you just have a lot of enemies for being too beautiful, by the way, can we be friends?" he asked, and she pulled away from the hug.

"I am sorry I hugged you without your permission. Sure, we can be friends after all you did for me." She mumbled, avoiding his gaze.

"Friends?" he asked, extending his hand to her. She took his hand and shook him. They felt a tingling sensation in their hands.

"I will never forget what you did for me today." She beamed and let go of his hand.

"It's no big deal; it's a guy's job to help a girl in need. Anyway, you are welcome," he said, smiling widely at her.

The driver ran to them, and Jace waved her goodbye as he walked out of the school. Her driver escorted her to her car and opened the door for her. She entered the car and it drove off.

The next day,

Pearl is at home. She was unable to go to school after what happened. The door bell rang. She jumped down from the bed and ran to open the door. She opened it. At the front door was her mother.

Gift worriedly hovered around her.

"Pearl honey, what's the matter with you? Are you sick? Why didn't you call me? Why didn't you go to school today." She stated

"Mum, I'm all right I didn't go to school because I was so tired from all the activities at school yesterday. I assure you, there is nothing to worry about." Pearl assured.

"You can't be missing school like this. You just started schooling there." Gift stated, glaring at her.

"I know mum, mum, can I ask you for a favour?" Pearl inquired, batting her lashes. Gift sighed.

"What is it, honey?" she inquired, raising an eyebrow.

"Can you order a new set of uniforms for me?" Pearl inquired.

"What happened to your old one? Is everything alright? Why are you asking for a new pair of uniforms?"

"Mum, yesterday at school in the cafeteria I sat on a chair that had a nail on it, it ripped my skirt in half. That's why." Pearl said, avoiding her gaze. She put her hand on Pearl’s face and stroked her cheek.

"Are you ok? honey do you got hurt, your face don't look bright today did something bad happened to you at school yesterday?" she ask worriedly.

"No-no, I am fine, mum." She stuttered.

"That's a relief, now get some rest, hun." She said, leading her to the bedroom.

Pearl laid down on the bed, Gift covered her with a pink duvet and kissed her on her forehead.

"Bye honey, I will be back to check on you this weekend. Remember not to stress yourself too much. I will send you the pair of uniforms tomorrow morning." She stated.

She walked out of the room and shut the door behind her.

Pearl's POV

I have never felt the way I felt yesterday in my entire life. I just wished it was all a dream, Jace came to my rescue, just thinking about him makes me blush. and it's fire when he touch my hand yesterday. I looked at my hand and smiled widely, I thought I should give him a call. Oh no, silly me, I don't even have his number. I will ask Nicole for it. She should have it. I said and dialed her number. She picked up the phone on the first ring.

"Hey girl I was just about to call you I heard what happened to you yesterday. Are you hurt? You are going to tell me the details in school tomorrow, I heard Jace came to your rescue. I envy you, Pearl. You are so lucky to have such a super star like Jace helping you. Tell me was the experience breath-taking or what?" Nicole inquired, I opened my eyes wide in surprise.

"Wh-what so the news is out? Anyway, text me Jace’s number. I want to call and thank him." I stated.

"Bestie that's not a big deal I will send it to you right away, I forgot to ask why you were not in school today. I was worried sick about you I was about to call you when you called, I missed you a lot in school today. Henry, followed by Jace and Martins, asked of you, girl you are a big shot." She beamed, making me blush, so they came to look for me.

"Really? you make me feel special." I whined, stroking my hair backwards.

"What are you saying Pearl? You are special in my eyes and in theirs. I just hope you don't get more trouble since your first day in Riverdale was a bad experience, I am sorry girl, I hope you are alright. Did you get hurt? I heard all the terrible things they did to you, who did such a disgusting thing to my bestie? I am going to teach that person a lesson." Nicole stated in a cold tone.

"Awwn, no need to worry about me, I heard from one of the guys that attacked me saying that it was Lovely that sent them, but I am not buying it. Why will a criminal easily say their boss's name? Something is not right." I muttered.

"Wh..What? Lovely. I am going to teach her a lesson tomorrow."

"No Nicole I don't want you to fight Lovely because, of me, I am alright." I assured.

"Ok, if you say so, bye girl, I am feeling sleepy." She mumbled and hung up.

I rested on the bed staring at my phone continuously and beeped. It was a text from Nicole. I checked it and it was Jace’s number. Here goes nothing. I took a deep breath and dialed his number. I put the phone in my ear and closed my eyes tightly.

"Hello, who is this?" he asked in a soft tone.

"It’s me, Pearl Godswill, the girl you saved yesterday." I beamed.
