×Gemstones and Pearls×

Pearl was finishing writing the daily school announcement for tomorrow.

She and her two friends work in the school news report club or the PET.post for short, why its called PET? Well because those are the initials of each member. Pearl, Etho and Tango.

Tango looked up from his computer.
" Something's brothers you Pearly..?"

Pearl stopped and shot him a look.
" I don't know what you're talking about." She returned to writing.
Tango rolled his eyes."Sure.."

Pearl heard the squeaky noise coming from Tango's chair's wheels getting closer .( She and Etho tried to convince Tango to change the wheels or the chair but he said he likes the chair as it is, )

A moment later Tango was next to her. Looking over at her desk.
" And the "I don't know " definitely doesn't have to do anything with that girl from the architecture class." He raised an eyebrow.

"How do you know..!?" She mumbled, her cheeks turning pinkish .

Tango smirk. " Well a little brid told me someone got a date."

"ETHO!" Pearl yelled annoyed. Speaking of the devil - Etho walked to the class, holding there cups of coffee.
"Uh ..bad timing?" He asked shyly.
Pearl hid her head in her hands and sighed, Tango on the other hand burst into laughter.

Etho joined them at Pearl's desk. After everyone got their coffee Etho said:
"So... It's about Gem asking you out isn't it?"

Tango took a long sip and nodded.

" Well I hope you said yes. I don't want to deal with sad Gem when I get home." Etho did a little spin.

Pearl (now her head was resting on the desk) looked at her lovely friends.
" I thought Etho you were the caring cousins not the complaining one."

"Ouch ." He said dramatically.
A small smile appeared on Pearl's face.

"So? Did you agreed?" Now was Tango's turn to be annoying. He started at Pearl, he reminded her of a curious little kitten.

Pearl rolled her eyes.
" I don't know Tango. Take a guess."
The answer was obvious just like the fact that sky is blue but what a friend would Pearl be if she hadn't also love to annoy her friends a little.

" Hmmm...Let me think.." Tango spun around on his chair a few times.

" I know! You would definitely choose one of Ethos frogs over your biggest crush. She's gonna be so sad Pearl how could you!" Tango giggle and Etho gasped.
"Nooooo! My poor froggies!!! "Etho started laughing as well.

"Yes! I'm gonna steal your frog Etho" She smiled.
Not the three of them were laughing their breaths out.

— Few minutes later —

Gem was waking at Pearl quite a bit now. She was supposed to meet her as soon as she finishes her work, so Gem waited for her patiently.
Well until she decides to check on Pearl.

"She couldn't forget... surly she didn't forget..." Gem said to herself. She asked Pearl to go together after school and Pearl seemed very excited to go.

Gem found the classroom the report club was in. She could hear laughing coming from it.

Gem knocked on the door but it seemed like no one heard it over the laughter, so she walked in.

" Hey Gem!" Etho noticed her first and as he spoke the voices went quite.

" Hello, sorry to interrupt your very important meeting but I need to take Pearl" She said.
Pearl gasp.
"Oh I'm sorry Gem! I didn't realise what time it is."
Pearl packed her thing quicky and soon she was standing next to her .

"See you later guys! " Pearl waved.

" Don't worry will finish out conversations tomorrow." Tango smiled mischievously.

Pearl rolled her eyes and took Gem's hand .
"Let's go. I've already made you wait for me ."
Gem giggle.
