Pearl pov
"Mother?" I asked, leaning in the doorway of her room.
"Huh? Oh, yes Pearl?" She stood up from where she sat on her bed, walking to her mirror. I stepped in, comparing us. She was also tall and thin, but nowhere near as thin as I. Her pointed nose was scrunched up in concentration as she ran fingers through her Brown pixie cut.
"I was wondering if I could walk to a friend's house?"
"Yes, of cou-" she stared at me. "You're..."
"Pearl," I finished.
"You... Pearl... want... to go to... a friend's house?"
"Yes."
"Honey, THAT'S GREAT!" I smiled.
"What's her name?"
"It's..." I thought for a moment. "Peridot. Her name is Peridot."
I looked down at the piece of paper Peridot had handed me during Math class.

I sighed. Yellen Diamond seemed nice, but...
Peridot had said her house was big. That was an understatement. The building must've been bigger than the school, and this was only from the front!
I walked up to the iron gate, where beautiful vines twisted and turned almost as if they were real. I pressed the call button, and Yellen's face appeared on the small screen.
"Hello, this is the Diamond household, do you have an appointment? "
"Um, hello, it's Pearl Baroque, from school? Your sister handed me this slip of paper with the address?"
The note was written in Yellow Ink, and decorated with Diamonds, which made the note rather difficult to read, but I kept my mouth closed.
"Oh, you. Well, come in." She pressed a button and the gate swung open.
"Thank you!" I walked up the driveway, checking my watch.

"Oh dear, I hope she doesn't mind!" I said quietly.
"Finally," She sighed when I knocked on the door. "You're early, but you took long enough walking up the driveway."
"I'm sorry, I-"
"Shoes." She pointed to a shoe mat to the right of the door. I noticed all the shoes.
There were yellow ballet flats, yellow boots, green sneakers and boots, and much more. I placed my light blue ballet flats next to a pair of Dark blue ones.
"Is Bella already here?" I asked.
"Yes, don't ask stupid questions." We turned down the hallway to the right and went up to the second floor. I glanced briefly into rooms as we passed.
