Why does pepper move to the side of the bowl of water when you put a drop of soap in the middle?

Pepper is hydrophobic or doesn't dissolve or mix into water. Since water molecules are strongly attracted to each other, or have a high surface tension, it keeps the pepper afloat. Adding soap breaks down the surface tension and as the water molecules spread out away from the soap, they brings the pepper with them.
