One nice bright sunny day on Peacville beach,a group of preteens went out to have fun on the beach.
'' Lanes are you coming into the water?'' Corey asked gently grabbing her arm.
She said,"Uh,not really Core,I don't like the water much."
'' Oh come on Laney!'' said Corey as he firm,ed his grib on her hand more.
She said,"No Core,I think I'll stay on the beach to make sand castles."
'' Awwh whats up with you! You don't ever seem to like the water!'' Corey said.
"Well,I'm afraid of it Core!"she told him.
'' Here I'll teach you!'' Corey said as he grabbed her arm and started dragging her near to the water.
She said,"Hey,let go Core,this isn't funny!"
Laney then got her arm free and sat down on the sand
She thought,"Whew,that was close,if they found out my secret,they'll think I'm a freak!"
But unknowing to her she had just said it out loud. '' Lanes what secret? Your not a freak!'' Corey said.
She then said,"Uh,it's nothing!"she said nervously.
He then sat down next to her as he said '' Lanes whats wrong? Somthings been troubling you ever since we got here!''
She then said,"There's nothing to worry about Core,really!"
Corey then looked at her with puppy eyes. Laney sighed.
She said,"Let's say that I'm not very big on swimming."
'' And I'm kinda hate solt water!'' she added.
He said,"Well,is there another reason why you won't swim?"
'' Its a secret'' Laney said nervously as she was trying to hold in a blush from how close Corey was to her.
He said,"And why did you say that it would make us think you are a freak,which you aren't?"
'' Over reacting I guess!'' Laney said nervously.
He said,"Well,I along with kin and Kon would never think you're a freak,your pretty!"he said and then blushed after what he said.
Laney started blushing abit at his comment ''pretty'' and giggled light to herself.
He said,"You okay Lanes,your face is beginning to turn red!"
'' Yes I'm fine!'' she said. '' Good then lets swim! I will teach you!'' Corey said.
She said,"But Corey!"
Corey grabbed her arm and started dragging her towards the water. As she saw the water her heart started beating.
She struggled to get free of his grip.
'' We'll if your so shy to swim we can go over there behind the rocks!'' Corey said as he took her there. Once they we're there and laneys feet almost touching the water.
She thought,"Oh no,I got to get away from the water or else they'll know!"
'' Almost there Laney! Don't worry I won't let you drown!'' Corey said calmly.
She said,"Let me go Core!"
Then her foot touched the water.
She said,"Oh no!"
She quickly dive in and hide behind a rock
She then felt her feet transforming.
And hjer hair got let down
to long just above her hips.
Corey started swimming towards her.
She was then transformed into a mermaid and she then swam for her life.
More behind the rock. '' Core! Don't come any closer!''
He said,"Why not Lanes?"
'' Please Don't!'' Laney said in a sad tone.
He thought,"I wonder what's her deal,why won't she let me go to her?"
He saw her starting to cry and decided to go to her to see what was wrong.
He then went wide eyes at what he saw and thought,"So that's why she didn't want to go into the water,she's a mermaid,she looks beautiful!"
But then he thought '' Wait shes a MERMAID?'' '' Yo-ur a mer-ma-i-d!'' Corey said. Laney still kept crying abit and put her head down onto the rock.
She thought,"I knew it,now Corey thinks I'm a freak of nature,now he'll never want to see me again!"
