" Then where the hell is Daniel Davis? '' Lucas growled, making everyone freeze in their spot. " he.... he is not here? '' Michael looked around and noticed there was no sign of Daniel. He quickly fell on his knees and apologised, " I am so sorry Lucas' ' he begged with his head low.

" Find him now! " Lucas ordered and turned back to sit on his chair.

An hour later Michael returned with his boys following behind him. " he is no were to be found. '' he spoke with his head lowered.

Bang! Lucas kicked the chair before him, making everybody shiver. " get lost, all of you. now! " he growled and everyone vanished one by one leaving him alone on the rooftop.

" Daniel you were lucky today " he smirked, pushing his hair away from his forehead.

" Why are we here? " Pearl asked. Everything was alright when suddenly Daniel dragged her into the woods which was situated at the back of their school building. She couldn't understand a thing. He even refused to answer her question.

" Let's go now " Daniel grabbed her hand and led her out of the wood. She was like a small bunny following behind him.

Pearl tugged on his sleeves, making him stop in his tracks. " What now? " He asked , looking at the tiny girl before him, her face was red from running and her hair was messy from the wind. He raised his hand and tugged a strand of hair behind her ear and his hand was slapped mid air. " Will you answer now? " she was frustrated and wanted to know what was going on, " didn't he say that they were safe in her room? "

" Lucas was looking for us so we had to hide. " He spoke so casually as if he was not talking about the bully but instead about his buddy. Pearl rolled her eyes and they reached their classroom.

Pearl opened her big eyes even wider than the classroom before her. It was nothing like a classroom. It was like a luxurious room. Even the desk and chair were so beautiful and fancy Pearl couldn't believe her eyes.

Daniel smiled looking at the adorable girl before him he rubbed her back and pushed her forward. " Let's go, you are standing in the way " his words pulled her out of her thoughts and she turned back and saw that she was really standing in the way blocking the entrance. Some students stood behind her praying that she would move forward. " I am sorry " she quickly got out of the way and the students relished a sigh of relief.

Pearl and Daniel sat on the second bench near the window. " this class is so big we can play soccer in here, '' she whispered in his ear and he chuckled in response.

Pearl felt very comfortable with Daniel. She felt like they knew each other for a long time.

After some time their class teacher entered and introduced himself and asked everyone to introduce themselves.

" Hello class my name is David Brown I will be your class teacher for this whole year. "After he finished his introduction he asked the students to introduce themselves. " let's start with this row here " David pointed at the first row and a fat girl stood up from her seat and spoke, " hello my name is Nancy " everyone clapped and the process continued.

" I am nervous " Pearl whispered and Daniel rubbed her head to console her, " it's okay. "

" the lady and the gentlemen there can you stop showing you love affection, please? there are some single people here as well " David joked and the class Interrupted with laughter everyone turned their face towards them to have a good look at the couple.

Pearl lowered her face and her cheeks were red, from all the attention she was receiving, Daniel on the other hand smirked casually.

" He is so handsome, " someone from the student said. " The girl is so cute they make a cute couple, " someone else added.

Pearl was more than embarrassed hearing this.

" Okay class, let's not disturb the couple and proceed with our introduction. " David smiled and the class laughed again.

" I am tired " Pearl placed her tired head on her desk. She was so tired both mentally and physically, " come let's grab something to eat " she was half dragged half lifted towards the canteen.

Pearl sat on her chair looking at all the dishes in front of her. " Are you going to eat all of these? " she pointed a shaky finger at the food before her, it was too much for the two of them to finish.

" Why not? " Daniel placed a tissue on her lap and passed her a spoon. " Eat now, " he said.

Everyone around looked at them with jealously.

Pearl filled her mouth with a lot of food that her cheeks bulged and she couldn't chew properly. Suddenly they heard a commotion around them and a group of tall boys entered the canteen.

Daniel grabbed his fork tightly looking at the tall boy entering the canteen.

All the girls felt like fainting seeing such a handsome boy before him. He had a smirk on his face and his thick black hair was roughly pushed back. He was the perfect example of a combination of evil and handsome. He was devilishly handsome.

While girls drooled over his handsomeness, boys gave him a jealous look.

Lucas entered ignoring all the girls who were ready to throw themselves on him. His eyes were just focused on the couple who sat at the corner. He couldn't see the girl's face as she was looking down. Just then Pearl raised her face and met with his cold eyes, his glance was so strong that she choked on her food coughing violently. " Here you should eat slowly " Daniel passed her a glass of water and rubbed her back. Pearl eventually calmed down.

Lucas stopped in his tracks. He couldn't see her face as Daniel was covering her. He moved forward to take a good look but Daniel looked at him and gestured him to go back, Lucas smirked, " it seems she is very important to him " Michael whispered.

" Who was he? He looked so dangerous, " Pearl couldn't help but ask. Daniel looked at her and helped her wipe her mouth. " Stay away from him " he warned her and saw her small face filled with confusion.

sigh!

" He is Lucas Whitlock " he informed her and saw her face turn pale. " the... the bully? " she asked and saw him nod.

Pearl remained quiet and started pondering at the fact that everyone turned quiet when he entered the Canteen. Everyone looked at him with respect and fear.

Black eyes which were narrowed as if he didn't care about anything in this world, a sharp jawline which was like a razor that was cutting into every girl's heart. He was no doubt gorgeous but his heart was evil and black Pearl looked at the boy before her. Dark brown hair and delicate features he was as handsome as Lucas but these two were completely different from each other. " fallen in love with me already " Daniel commented he saw her looking at him for the last ten minutes, " shut up " Pearl spoke with flushed cheeks. She hid her head and started eating again.

" What do you want to eat? '' Selina moved closer and tried to touch his hand but Lucas stopped her. " you know her? " he pointed at a girl. She was busy stuffing her mouth with food. Her long hair was pulled in a high ponytail and her Cherry lips looked so kissable that even she wanted to look at her. " no '' she replied and saw him looking at her with so much interest that she felt jealousy raise in her.

" go talk to her and ask her name " Lucas wanted to know everything about her " just who is she " he thought in his head. Selina looked at him as tears filled her eyes.

" Hi , I am Selina D'cuz. " Selina extended her hand before her and saw Pearl looking at her with her big eyes.

Pearl looked at her and extended her hand as well but her hand was grabbed by Daniel before it could touch her. " What do you want, Selina? " Daniel looked annoyed. He stood up and stared at her with his cold eyes. " I just wanted to say hi " Selina smiled which didn't even reach her eyes. " It's okay Daniel " Pearl whipped her mouth and stood up and extended her hand forward. " hii, my name is Pearl Hart. Nice to meet you " she introduced herself and Selina was shocked to hear her voice it was so soft and sweet. Selina tried to hide her jealousy and smiled back, taking her hand and shaking it. " See you around " with it she turned back.

The bell rang indicating that the lunch break was over and everyone went back to their classroom. " I am so full " Pearl rubbed her plumb stomach and walked with much difficulty. " It's all your fault " she looked at him and pointed her finger. " Help me now " she extended her arm for him to take and they slowly made their way towards their classroom. " You look like a pig, " Daniel said looking at her, she couldn't even walk properly.

Pearl rolled her eyes and with a lot of struggling they finally reached their class. opening the door they were welcomed by David's shocked face. " students, don't you think it is too early for this? " he pointed at the plump stomach of Pearl and the hand which was holding it. "Sir, it's not what you think " Pearl tried to explain, " she eats a lot " Daniel's careless voice came from behind and David released a sigh of relief.

Pearl walked happily she was very happy her first day was so good Daniel followed behind her with his bag on his back and Pearl's bag in his hand, that stupid girl refused to lift her bag and threw it at him. he left with no other choice had to pick it up and now she was happily running, " you are so slow " Pearl stopped and looked at the tired boy behind her. " Come fast, " she said again. " Thanks " Pearl pulled her bag from his hand and closed her door on his face, " bye " came her cheerful voice from the other end of the room.

" idiot " Daniel smiled before entering his own room.

After reporting everything that happened today to her mother except the teasing part of course, Pearl fell back on her bed, " oh I am so tired " she closed her eyes to rest, as soon as she closed her eyes she was greeted by those black eyes and that handsome face smirking at her. Pearl opened her eyes, " he is hot " she rolled on her stomach, " but dangerous " she thought.

She rolled again on her back and stared at the ceiling until she fell asleep. Unknown to her, someone else stood up the whole night thinking about her.

Lucas looked out of the window and a letter wrapped in a pink envelope with a cute red heart printed on it was resting on his window. He picked it up. " nonsense " he raised his hand and threw it into the dustbin without even opening it. He knew it was a love letter from some random girl who wanted to be with him without knowing the consequences.

he pushed his hair away and a face with puffed up cheeks flashed into his mind, " Pearl Hart " he smirked and leaned back in his chair unintentionally thinking about her.

Pearl opened her eyes and saw it was already dark outside. She sat on her bed and noticed she was so tired that she didn't even change her uniform. She quickly changed her uniform and ran in her bathroom to wash her face but ended up taking a shower.

" ah nice " she relaxed when the cold water touched her body and she washed up quickly. Putting on her shorts and tshirt pulling her hair in a bun she sat on her study table to revise her course, " I have to do the best " she reminded herself and continued to study till late that night.
