A New Beginning

Meeting you

(A/N: my writing gets better later in the book as I was baby writer when I started writing this. Also this book in the process of being rewritten, read newer chapters to find out more)

Pearl's POV

I recently just moved in with my dad and I think I'm much happier, never hit me or anything.

I got up out of my bed and went to go get changed. It was 11am and I still haven't changed yet. I got black crop top with the words 'Eat Ass Smoke Grass' on it and black short shorts with rips. Everything I own at the moment didn't fit me anymore, everything was too big for me. It had been over 2 years since I started starving myself. I had been to the hospital when my health got really bad, I'm starting to get my health back, slowly. Anyway I need to stop being so depressing.

I ran down the grand stairs to see that my dad already left for work. Got the whole house to myself, what do I do? Masturbate! Nah not in the mood. I'll just go get food with a friend. (Why do I write these XD)

I thought about who I should call, I didn't have great friends. Most of my friends were druggies or just not very good squids. Like someone you would see in an alleyway. I decided to call my friend Amber, she's a pretty emo squid.

*Ring, Ring*

"Hey."

-"What you need?"

"Wanted to see if you wanted to grab some grub."

-"Eh, didn't eat today so sure."

"Ok you know where to meet."

-"Pearl that place is near octolings."

"We go there all the time and were still fine! See you in 20."

I hung up the call and put my phone in my pocket.

I liked going to that place. I would scream loudly when I was alone. I always had a very loud scream. Anyway I grabbed my crown I always wore and my platform black boots, I put them both on and stood up.

I started to walk out the door and headed to meet Amber.

It's been more then twenty minutes and she still isn't here. She probably ditched, that fucking bitch. Oh well, I'll just walk around for a while.

Marina's POV

I was so excited to see the concert. Well it was more of a battle but King Octavio was definitely gonna win! I sat down by myself, Jamie hadn't died that long ago but I still miss her.

The battle began, but then after a few minutes I heard a song. I-I don't know what song.

"This changes everything." Was all I was able to say.

I had been running for who knows how long! I didn't want to be there anymore. I had taken off my goggles and had my busted keyboard under my arm. I liked music a lot but I had to focus on engineering till now, now I just wanted to focus on what I wanted to do, not what I was told to do.

I left through a sewer, not a grand moment of mine but I was finally on the surface. It's beautiful...

I was in a field sort of area and I walked around for a while before I decided to just sit down and put my keyboard on my lap, I pressed a couple of buttons and started playing a demo for a song I named Ebb and Flow. I started singing the lyrics, in Ocatarian of course.

I sang for around around 30 minutes till I heard a creature chirping, what was that? While I'll was listening to the creatures chirp I heard rustling and something come from the bushes. An Inkling?

"Your voice is... beautiful." The inkling said staring at me.

"Thanks?" I blushed a bit.

"My names Pearl, you?" She asked me holding out her hand to help me up.

"Marina, I'm Marina." I took her hand and stood up picking up my goggles from the floor. I look down at Pearl who seemed to be surprised because of the height difference. "You seem pretty young. Are all Inklings as short as you?" I asked, my eyes big with curiosity.

"Umm, I'm 20 and most Inklings are taller then me. You should know that, I mean you have to be an Inkling." Pearl put her hands on her hips, narrowing her eyes at me.

I laughed nervously, "Hahaha Yep." My tentacles were swaying in different directions, I am so scared. If this Inkling knows... She will probably hurt me.

"Why you dressed in Octoling gear, and have those goggles." She said pointing to my goggles.

"I-uhh-" I stumbled backwards falling onto the floor then curling up in a ball and my eyes started watering, "Please don't hurt me. I don't want to fight." I cried into my knees.

"I'm not gonna hurt you!" She said with a sorta shocked tone. I felt something rub my back and realized it was Pearl's hand, she sat down next to me.

"But don't you want to hurt me? Send me back to the underground?" I questioned. She was weird, I liked it about her but don't Inklings hate us?

"No why would I want to send someone as beautiful as you there?" She replied giving me a playful smile.

"Wha?" My cheeks heat up and I brought my face up to look at her, she was really pretty.

"Sorry!" Pearl quickly apologized and looked away from my eyes. She was blushing?

"I-I'm not a lesbian." I muttered.

"I-uhh didn't mean it like that." She looked back at me.

"But you are very beautiful." I told her in Octarian hopping she doesn't know the language.

"Uhh what did you say?" She looked into my eyes and scratched her cheek.

"Nothing, do you sing too?" I asked her changing the subject.

"Well kinda... I can show you." She took out something from her pocket and was looking at it, like she was trying to find something. "Here, listen." She said putting the object down on the grass, it was playing music.

Well more of screaming. After it finished Pearl picked up the object and put it away, "Do you like it?" She asked embarrassed.

"Those were some pretty big words, but it was nice." I smiled when she looked back at me.

She sighed in relief, "Thank you, ya know maybe we should start a band." Pearl offered looking at the floor.

I have no where to go, plus this inkling might be the only one that wont hurt me. She's also really cute, oh my Cod so cute actually. "I like that idea." I told her picking up her face with my hand.

My hand was on Pearl's cheek now, we just stared into each others eyes. We both leaned in and started kissing, Her lips were so soft. Both of our eyes were closed and she had one arm around my neck, the other around my waist. I moved my hand that was on her cheek to the back of her head, I tilted my head a bit to enjoy it more.

After what felt like forever we both broke apart. Why did I enjoy that? I'm not a lesbian...

"Marina?" Pearl was speaking to me.

"Y-yes?" I snapped out of my thoughts.

"Let's head back to my house, kay?" She said and grabbed my hand and started running with me back to her house...
