"Oh, this is rich. Stuck with you in the back of the bus."
PearlBliss

You sure have a way of talking..
Mia
6/8/2024
"Well, Mr. Personality, I guess I have a way of expressing myself that you find... captivating. How fortunate for me."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Im sorry.. I dont have the personality that everyone likes. Like you.. everyone likes you.
Mia

"Oh please, spare me the compliments. My charm is as fake as those shiny trophies on my shelf. Don't get me wrong, I love being popular.
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
But why? I bet if you stopped being popular, everyone would care. Because, no one really cares about you. Your just like.. a doll or something. Beautiful but empty.
Mia

"Wow, talk about hitting the nail on the head. You've really got me figured out, haven't you? But let me tell you something, sweetheart.
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
"What?"
Mia
6/8/2024
"Popularity may be fake, but it sure beats being invisible. And let me guess, you're just dying to be noticed, aren't you?
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I just want to be seen and cared for, by even just one person. That’s why I’m on this school bus. Cause.. because I told myself I was gonna get on it. And.. I didn’t want to let anyone down, not even myself.
Mia

"Aww, isn't that just adorable. Little PearlBliss wants to be loved. Well, lucky for you, I can play the role of your friend for today.
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Are you being sarcastic right now? Or are you serious?
Mia
6/8/2024
"Do I sound sarcastic to you? Oh wait, I forgot, sarcasm is lost on people like you. You probably think I'm being nice. How charming."
PearlBliss

Whatever.. looks away Please just don’t throw this away, I don’t wanna get off this bus.. I don’t want to go home. If I go home, then everything will be the same again, and I’ll forget how to hold a train of thought, cause.. cause my parents never showed any love for me at all. My mom only loves me cause I make money, and my dad, well he’s never around..
Mia

"You know, PearlBliss, you're a lot more interesting than I thought. Maybe being stuck in this bus isn't such a bad thing after all."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Your right, being here has been.. more fun than I expected it to be, especially with someone as pretty as you. Would it be too weird if I kissed you?
Mia
6/8/2024
"Oh, absolutely not! Who do you think you are? Just because I'm pretending to be your friend doesn't mean I want to kiss you."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Well damn.
Mia
6/8/2024
"Hey, don't be so disappointed. You'll find someone else to kiss eventually, right?"
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Nope. There’s no point. Besides, you said you don’t want to kiss me, but I’d bet that if we were real friends, we’d probably end up kissing each other a few times.
Mia
6/8/2024
"Please, spare me the romance. I may pretend to be nice, but I'm not interested in anything more than friendship. Got it?"
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Uh huh.. So uh.. where exactly are we anyway?
Mia
6/8/2024
"If you must know, we're in an abandoned warehouse. Lucky us."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
So we’re just gonna stay here until the end of time?
Mia
6/8/2024
"No way. I'm not staying here forever. I need to come up with a plan to escape. First, let's try to find a way out of this place.
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Alright, I am down for finding a way out.
Mia
6/8/2024
"Great. Let's stay calm and look for any possible exits. Maybe there's a door or a window somewhere that we can use."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Sounds good.. searches around for a door or window
Mia
6/8/2024
"There! Over there, I see a crack of light coming from behind some boxes. Let's go check it out."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Alright. walks over to the boxes and pushes them aside, revealing a door that leads outside Well I’ll be damned. That’s actually a relief. Okay. Where do we go from here?
Mia
6/8/2024
"First, we need to find out where we are and if there are any other people nearby. We can't risk getting caught again.
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
I got a few ideas. One, we can head into the forest. Two, we can attempt to find the main road, or three, we can try looking for help around the nearby towns.
Mia
6/8/2024
"Alright, let's start by heading into the forest. It seems like our best bet. Stay close and keep an eye out for anything suspicious."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Okay. walks into the forest with Mia following closely behind
Mia
6/8/2024
"Whoa, watch where you're going!" stumbles over a fallen log
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Geez, my bad. Are you okay? Here let me help you up. extends hand towards Mia
Mia
6/8/2024
grabs onto PearlBliss's hand and pulls herself up "Thanks for helping me out. Guess I wasn't paying attention.
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
No problem.. hey, wanna stop for a bit and rest? I feel like we’ve been walking for quite a while.
Mia
6/8/2024
"Sure, we can take a short break. But we can't stay for too long. We need to keep moving and find a safe place before it gets dark."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
Alright alright.. walks over to a tree, sitting down against it
Mia
6/8/2024
"Look, PearlBliss, I appreciate your help so far, but I can't keep relying on you like this.
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
What do you mean? You’re making it sound like I’m doing a terrible job.
Mia
6/8/2024
"No, that's not what I meant. You've been really helpful, I just... I don't want to burden you with my problems. I'm used to taking care of myself."
PearlBliss
6/8/2024
I completely understand. I know for a fact that I wouldn’t last a day on my own in the wild..
Mia
6/8/2024
"That's exactly why I can't rely on you. I don't want to put you in danger because of me. I need to figure things out on my own.
