The New Boy
Maya's pov
My name is Maya Matthews. My land name that is. I live as a normal land girl adopted by my best friend on land, Riley Matthews. In reality, my parents are two of the rulers of Atlantica, along with another couple. Their son Tristan and I are to be wed when we turn eighteen, but because a war to dictate over our united kingdom broke out, I, Marina, was sent to live on land. Tristan stayed behind, only to come on land under a fake identity if his life was threatened as well.
Anyway, I was on the subway with Riley, who wanted to be more like me. My cool and mischievous attitude; though she knew my secret. We were talking as I admired the three rings on my right hand. One, given by my parents, to make sure my legs didn't turn into a tail when I came into contact with water; the other a friendship ring from Riley, who sported an identical one; and the last, my promise ring from Tristan. I missed him so much...
Anyway, Riles and I were talking, and soon the topic turned to boys; and I subconsciously brought my promise ring closer to my heart. I hope Tris is ok... But no news is good news, I guess. My thoughts are interrupted by Riley, who spotted a cute boy, and pointed him out not-so-discreetly. My jaw dropped "Sorry, Riles. He's not on the market." I then approached him slowly. It was Tristan.
