ROMEO'S POV
Clifford and Evanda entered shortly, we played video games and I must say Evanda was very bad at it like wtf!
We run out of snacks so I had to go get more from the kitchen, the lights in the kitchen were off when I entered. I had a hard time finding the switch, I turned it on and got the shock of my life. Pearl was in there this whole time! I was so embarrassed!
"Sorry for scaring you, I was honestly curious on how you'd find the switch", she said hilariously. I run my hands down my face and bit my lower lips. " Why are you in the dark tho?", I asked opening the fridge to get some water. " It's something I usually do, I'm kinda used to it ", she said with a smile. "Why are you here tho?", she asked. " We erm.. we run out of snack. You?, why are you here? ", I responded.
" I couldn't sleep, you were all over my mind ", she said almost in a whisper. I coughed and took a sip of my water. I really wanted to give in, I wanted to hold her, it felt like the perfect opportunity. But on a second thought, that would mean losing my friendship with the guys. Pearl is very pretty and damn attractive but I'm not like that in love with her. I wasn't willing to give up the guys for her, I grabbed the snacks and made my way out. I was very surprised when she help my hands, I stood still and was even more surprised when she hugged me.
" I know you like me Romeo, the way you look at me says it all. The eyes don't lie.", she said still hugging me.
I pulled out from the hug and looked at her, fuck! She was crying. Why the hell was she crying.
" What's wrong Pearl?", I said wiping her tears with my hands. " You're going to turn me down ain't you?", she said stepping back. I stepped closer to her and hugged her, we stayed like that for a while before pulling out of the hug. Our nose touched in the process and before I could take another breath our lips touched. I felt my heart miss a beat, that was my first kiss!!
" Hey Romeo wake up it's morning, you have to go home ".
What the hell, I opened my eyes and realized I was dreaming.
" You seem lost, is everything okay?", Xander asked. I was indeed lost, because what the hell. Why would my first kiss be in a dream. " Can you drop me off on your way?", Xander asked after realizing I wasn't going to answer his previous question. I simply nodded, grabbed my stuff and made my way out. On my way I met Pearl, she smiled at me and waved, I forced a smile and walked out. I waited for Zander for a while before he got into the car. " Are you okay dude?", he asked again. "It's just.. I had a dream about erm..", I couldn't finish my statement because he concluded. " Don't dare say Pearl, she's off limit", he said as if threatening me. " She's so attractive, I'm trying so hard", I said without looking at him. He remained quiet for a while before telling me to try harder. I dropped him off and went home to prepare for school.
When I got to school, Pearl and her friends were waiting for me at the car park. I got out of the car and walked towards them. " I want to have a conversation with you Romeo, but I'm running late for a class. I was wondering if we could meet here after your basketball practice", she said. " Yeah sure, see you later", I said and walked away. On our way to basketball practice Clifford suggested we go to the library after practice, because he needed help finding a certain book for an assignment. I wanted to tell them I had plans after practice, but what are they going to think if they realize I just went to meet up with Pearl? I had no choice but to ditch Pearl. After practice we went to the library, it took us long to find the book. It was as if the book was playing hide and seek with us argh! When we finally found it, we sat on the chairs in the library. I placed my head on the table, my head was bashing! " Congratulations Romeo, you passed the test!", they said in unison. " Wait do you mean the rest was to find a book?", I asked clearly pissed. " No, the test was to choose us over my sister ", Clifford said with a smile. " I still don't understand ", I said. " Pearl was the test, you were to choose between meeting her and coming with us, but you chose us", Xander explained. I stood up and walked out angrily, what the hell! When I got to the car park Pearl was there. " I see you passed!", she yelled. " I'm really disappointed in you Pearl", I said and drove off.
