Chapter 1
One day Cleo Sertori was lying on her bed doing her homework. She thought about going to the moon pool, but waited until she finished her homework. You see, Cleo Sertori seems like an ordinary girl, but she's actually a mermaid. The only people that know this are to her 3 best friends Rikki, Emma and Bella, who were also mermaids Bella having been one the longest ,her boyfriend Lewis McCartney, Rikki's boyfriend Zane Bennet, Emma's boyfriend Ash Dove, and Bella's boyfriend Will Benjamin. Cleo finished her homework then went downstairs to tell her Dad she was going out.
"Dad!"
"Yes, Cleo?"
"My homework's done; I'm off to spend some time with my friends!"
"Okay dear, have fun!"
"Thanks, Dad!"
Cleo left the house. After that, she went to the dock the closest to where she lives. Then, she jumped off the dock and into the water. Cleo felt that familiar sensation in her legs that she knew and loved. Her legs fusing together and becoming a tail was too comforting for words. With a flick of her tail, Cleo turbo swam to the moon pool, hoping to find her friends. But they weren't there. They're probably at Rikki's Cleo thought as she swam back to land and headed straight for Rikki's cafe, formerly the juicenet. There she found her three best friends drinking smoothies. "Hi guys!" She called. "So what's up?" "You know Cleo, I've been thinking. What if we just tell someone about our tails already?! I mean, we can't keep the secret forever!" "I see where you're coming from Bella, but you know we can't do that!"Cleo said. Besides, how do you guys think our parents would react?" Rikki had a point. If anyone they couldn't trust found out, their geese would be cooked. And their parents would think their daughters had gone crazy. "Guys I know keeping the secret gets harder every day, but we have to try for our sake." "Emma's right, this secret could get us into BIG trouble if told." Rikki said. Then, Cleo checked her watch. "I've got to get to work! Bye guys!" "Bye, Cleo!"
