Pearl, who had been reading books the whole time, finally decided to come out and see what the other two girls were doing. She found Ava engrossed on her cellphone playing games while Akira was in her room singing loudly with her ears covered by headphones.
She sat next to Ava on the sofa, "You like playing games, huh? Can you teach me how we could play together?" She said while peeking into Ava's cellphone. She saw that Ava was chatting with someone instead of playing games.
Ava was startled and swiftly hid her phone under her butt. She wasn't ready to tell her cousin about big brother yet. She was afraid that Pearl might tattle on her to their parents.
"Why did you hide your phone? Are you hiding something? Hmmm, let me see what it is?" Pearl tried to reach Ava's phone under her. But Ava was quick to grab it and run to her room. Once inside, she quickly locked the door, so Pearl could not follow her.
