★SWEET SCENT OF HERS★
Pearl stared at Romeo silently as he said those words
Romeo suddenly cleared his throat and moved away from her
"What I'm trying to say is that,you should focus on your studies now and leave guys out of it. I heard you took the fifth position in the test,study harder" he gave her a knock on her forehead
"Ouch!! Chérie!" Pearl screamed and rubbed her head
"That will make you remember everything I said" Romeo said and Pearl pouted
"Knocking isn't necessary" She muttered
Romeo smiled and kissed her head
"I'm sure the pain is gone now" he said and Pearl nodded
"I'm leaving" She said and ran out of the room
Romeo sighed and rough his hair before walking into the dressing room.

BETSY'S PLACE**
Betsy entered April's room and met her pacing around
"What is it this time?" Betsy asked
"Thinking of the best way to deal with someone I hate so much" April said
"And who is that?" Betsy asked
"You should know already,I'm talking about Pearl. And it's even annoying that you're crushing on her brother,can't you just like someone else? I hate his sister with passion,gosh!!" April fell on the bed
"Think about your life first,you're the last In your class girl!" Betsy snapped at her before going out of the room
"Who care?! I'm going to deal with her! She will regret ever messing with me!" April shouted,throwing her legs in the air

CAYDEN'S MANSION**
Pearl walked out of the bathroom after taking her bath,she entered the dressing room.
She put on a jogger and tank top,she wore the bedroom slippers and walked out of her room.
She went downstairs and entered the kitchen,she opened the fridge and brought out a chocolate cake. She dropped it on the table and went for a glass of milk. She turned back and met Romeo eating the cake already
"No!!" She screamed and Romeo coughed out,almost falling from the chair
She immediately rushed to him and rub his back
"Are you okay?" Pearl asked
"Seriously? After I almost died??" Romeo scoffed
"Why would you eat that? It's mine" Pearl replied
"Can you even finish everything?? You will become fat" Romeo said
"Why? You don't like fat girls?" Pearl grinned
"No I don't,I love you this way. You look perfect" Romeo said and Pearl smiled
"I really look perfect?" She asked and Romeo turned away
"No you don't" he said,and brought out a bottle of water from the fridge.
He turned and found Pearl trying to get on the counter but wasn't tall enough.
He dropped the bottle in his hand and moved to her front
"Do you need my help?" He asked
Pearl immediately nodded and raised her arms up,but instead Romeo carried her by the waist. A lights gasp escape Pearl's lips as he placed her on the counter.
"Thank you" She smiled and took a bite from the cake
The cream stained her bottom lip
"Now see what I meant when I said you're a kid" Romeo teased
Pearl chuckled and tried wiping it off,but Romeo was faster. He wiped the cream off her lip with his thumb and lick his thumb
"Are you that hungry?" Pearl laughed
Romeo gave her a knock
"Ouch!" She screamed
"Don't call me to put you down" Romeo scoffed and moved away from her,he started going out of the kitchen
"No,Chérie please don't leave me,I'm going to cry" Pearl called
Romeo turned back
"Must you always bribe me with that?? Why did I even tell you I hate seeing you cry?" He groaned
Pearl laughed
"You're stuck with me brother,finish what you started" She said
Romeo stared at her for a while before looking away and bite his lips
"Hurry up,I'm leaving" He muttered
"Are you going to study? Put me down,I'm done. But are you not going to eat something?" Pearl asked
"Watching you eat,I am filled already" Romeo said
"Wow,why does that sound romantic? You should use it for your girlfriend not me" Pearl teased
"I already did" Romeo replied and Pearl's eyes widened
"You have a girlfriend? You didn't tell me!!" she shouted
"That's because I don't have a girlfriend" Romeo said and Pearl laughed
Romeo carried her and dropped her
"Thank you" She said
Romeo walked out of the kitchen
