FLASHBACK
Caleb and i were hanging out in our cave one summer day. IT was the day before my 13th birthday. I did a cartwheel, and then i fell in the water. There was a ring at the bottom so i swam down and grabbed it. When i put it on, i grew a beautiful pink tail. Whe ni came back up, Caleb saw it and we dicided to keep it a secret. I hid the ring from my parents, and didnt go in the water with it on.
I am wearing my ring now. Whenever someone asks me about it i justr say that Caleb gave it to me for a birthday and i are about to jump in when a bunch of people run up to us.
"Hey! Are you guys new? i havent seen you before. My names Christina, this is the screw"(read an at bottom) she says motioning around her.

"Four are you a mermaid?" He looks shocked, then notices my ring too. He nods. "We should so swin together sometime." i say "Ya that would be fun." he says, then leans in and kisses me. i kiss back.
"Beatrice! What the hell do you think your doing?! You just fucking met the guy and now your kissing him! We are so talking when we get home." Caleb yells at us. i pull away and we are both blushing. After a while we decide to go home after exchanging phone numbers.
