Cold (Pearlet)

1

Violet Chachki. She was simply stunning, but there was nothing simple about her. She wears designer clothes and top notch jewelry. Eyes turn her way when she walks down the hall. Even though she doesn't let it show, she loves the attention. She loves it how she can start a fight with a simple wink towards a boy on the go and his girlfriend will instantly get jealous. They wouldn't dare fight her though. She has got all the power and she knows it. Even the teachers know it. Everyone is at the mercy under her feet. Literally anyone would beg her to step on them or spit them in the face and it would be like a blessing from god. 

She looked rich, smelled rich and her body was worth millions of dollars. In a room full of tens she was grand price. Hearing people talk about her with wide eyes as she walked them by was like the sweetest melody to her. 

She was making her way to the bathroom and decided to stop by a group of teens smoking in the actual smoking area. She gave them a fake smile and eyed one of the girls up. "Got a cig?" The girl reached into her pocket with a shaky hand and pulled one out and lit it up before handing it to Violet. "You're so beautiful!" The girl blabbered out and Violet winked at her before walking off grimacing. She kept walking puffing at the cigar until she made it to the bathroom where she smudged it against the sink. The room smelled like weed and it was coming from one of the bathroom stalls.

Violet chuckled and shook her head before finishing touching up her face. It was flawless and didn't actually need any touching up but she needed the excuse to enter the bathroom in the first place. "Pearl?" She turned against the cubicle where the smoke emerged from and she heard some coughing and the unlocking of the door. She let herself in and sat on the toilet lid accompanied by Pearl Liaison on the floor. "Hey princess, wanna smoke the real stuff?" 

Pearl extended her arm towards Violet who gave her a stern look. "I'm not your princess, you pig." She snatched the blunt out of Pearls hand and Pearl just giggled at Violet. "Aw don't say that. You know you love me." Pearl winked and leaned her head against the wall of the bathroom stall. "You wish." Violet handed back the blunt and flipped her silky black hair back. "If not, then why do you keep coming here? There are others who would hand you free weed ya know?" Pearl raised an eyebrow at the pretty girl and put the blunt back to her lips. 

"It's closest to my next class" Violet answered unbothered. She did actually kind of like hanging out with her. She was the one person in school who treated her as an equal. She would never admit that though. 

Pearl sighed and scratched her neck before taking one last huff of the weed. As she tilted her head Violet could see those awful marks again. She knew that Pearl didn't have the same family life as she did. She didn't know her parents that well and she lived alone. She also knew that Pearl had an unfortunate taste in men. They left bruises and burn marks all over her pale skin. It made Violet sick to her stomach. "Why don't you leave that guy?" Violet looked at Pearl through her thick eyelashes. "Who?" The much higher girl asked with a wide smile. "The one that left those marks." 

Pearl attempted to see her own neck but failed due to human anatomy. "Oh... He was just a bad hookup." Pearl laughed and shook her head. "Is my Princess worried about me? I'm flattered." Violet just rolled her eyes and gently punched the blondes arm. She took a deep breath and looked down at the floor. "I'm serious, Pearl." Pearls smile faded and she played with her black nails. "I know." She whispered under her breath. Pearl was different from Violet but they still kind of got each other.

Pearl was a laid back, artsy girl with ashy blonde hair and tattoos all over her arms. She was liked by many but befriended by few. Everyone got along with her but she still seemed lonely in the crowd. She would look like she was enjoying herself at first glance but if you looked closer you could tell she wasn't happy. She was hiding it under her stoner facade. Violet knew as she had been watching the other girl from afar for some time.

Pearl was insanely pretty, she was very flirty but always unbothered by the people chasing her. She didn't want anyone longer from one day. But whoever she wanted she got. Violet wasn't like that though. She knew that if she gave in to Pearls charms she would be ignored the day after. She doesn't want that. At the same time, she knew she treated Pearl like shit and that maybe one day she wouldn't want Violet around anymore. That scared her too. 

"You look pretty today, Princess." Pearl gave Violet a sheepish smile again and placed her hand at Violets soft lap. Her fingers rubbing circles on her skin. "I'm not your princess... but thanks." Violet pushed Pearls warm hand away from her lap but the girl just placed in right back there. Violet couldn't help but crack a smile at her silliness. "You're such a bitch, Pearl." 

"I know."
