Pearl's POV-
(Pearl is 8 and Maddison is 9)
My whole life I've lived in fear and sadness of my Uncle Ricky. He used to come into my room at night and well... T-T-Touch me... I was gonna go to the police but he said they wouldn't listen to a little girl. I stayed at Layla's overnight and her mum dropped me and her at school but I lost Layla in the crowd and bumped into a lot to people... I clutched my bag and waited for class. I've never trust anyone apart from Layla and a random girl I sit next to in English... I walked into class and grabbed the first chair at the back. No one was here apart from Violet. She hated my guts after her boyfriend asked me for a kiss a year ago. Me, Layla and Violet were like peas in a pod until Zac had to interfere! I sat in silence until the other girl I trusted came in, she was so nice to me, nobody really likes a girl who gets good grades and has nerdy friends... But that random girl was the only other person in English who I liked.
"Pearl! Hiya!" The girl walked into class and happily skipped towards me, I let out a giggle and put my worries behind me, for now...
"Hello" I was so tired I reluctantly replied trying not to be rude and forced a smile onto my face.
"Don't force yourself to smile, okay" She sat beside me and smiled.
"Okay... Thanks for understanding..." My voice was a low whisper but she still heard me and gave me a light but still firm pat on the back.
Class soon started making me tune out and lightly rested my head on my arms. The teacher was reading us a book called 'Noughts and Crosses'. I flipped through the pages whilst rubbing my sleepy eyes, I haven't had much sleep because of family problems and trying to fit homework into my schedule at home.
"Pearl! Pay attention!" My head jerked up, hearing my name, I stared at the clock then turned to the teacher.
"Sorry Miss..." I bowed my head apologetically and starred back at the clock, only a few minutes left until I get to stay at my Aunts house...
***AFTER SCHOOL***
"Zac! Go away!" My voice was a little quieter that a yell but enough for some people hear and just stop to stare.
"What's wrong, scared?" He slowly moved closer towards me, every step he took, I took a step backwards until I was pressing myself up against the school wall. Someone... Anyone... Help...
"Ugh! I've about had enough of you you Zac! KYAA!" Suddenly a female voice came from behind Zac, he turned around in shock but didn't have time to react before the girl brought her fist up to his face, knocking him to the ground. Zac let out a painful yelp but everyone soon started speed walking away from the scene. I couldn't see the girls face but she was smiling at me.
"You okay, Pearl? He didn't do anything to you?" That voice... She sounds so familiar... But I can't quite put my finger in it...
"Yeah... Thanks..." I starred at the girl who just stood in the shadows of the school... I couldn't take it anymore I need to ask the girl! "Who are you? And how do you know me?".
"Nyaa! You don't know... Now am sad hehe" The girl imitated a cat for a moment before giggling, then she stepped forward revealing the girl from English. "I can't believe you didn't recognise me... Oh yeah! You don't know me too well, anyway am Maddison!" She extended her hand towards me and I reluctantly shook it.
"Sorry... But I need to be going my Aunt Lily is coming to pick me up..." I quickly gathered some of my scattered property and ran of to the car park, scanning through each row of cars to find Aunt lily. I finally found her car and ran towards it throwing the door open I flung myself into the backseat.
"Shall we go, Pearl?" I gave Aunt Lily a quick nod before starting to buckle my seatbelt. The engine roared with life giving me butterflies, but I could react quick enough before her foot was on the pedal and driving through the school to hers. I wish I could just stay with Aunt Lily, but mother would kill me once I left home to stay with Aunt Lily and well Uncle Ricky had his own way to punish me... Just thinking about it gives me chills. I rested my head in the door, watching the scenery go by. Soon sleep caught up with me and I dozed off, waiting for my eyes to flicker open to life again once I woke up.
