I turned over in my sea shell bed and looked out the opening into the wide night sea sky. The moon was shinning right into the water casting a glow on everything it touched making it beautiful. I wish the moon would touch me and make me into something beautiful I thought before my eyes closed and I was asleep.

It's been a full month since Ariel left us for the human world and things have almost gotten back to normal. Attina has taken the lead for our singing performances and I have slipped back into the back round. Ariel writes to us and says shell visit and we write back our love but continue with our lives which is school, singing lessons, and some free time. My sisters all have interest that they pursue and I feel secluded and faded. How come all my sisters are so naturally beautiful and I am like an out cast? My tail is not the brightest color its actually a quite dull gold with my usual light green bra. My hair is a dark brown that I wear in a ponytail with pearls. My eyes are a kind of bluish green that's not noticeable like all my other sisters. Lastly I am 18 and have never even kissed a merboy. I know pathetic right? But its my life..my life as princess Adella.

This morning we all swam up to get our make up and hair ready for the day." Hey did you hear I am going to the clam clash with Kiash, Andrina?" asked Arista as she brushed her long blond hair into a pony tail with pink pearls and straightened her red clam bra. "Oh my goodness no way! Well maybe Genen will ask me!" exclaimed Andrina. Her pink lace hat floating to the floor as the girls all gasped and fought over who Genen would really ask. I just kept looking in my mirror at the sad expression staring back at me. At least I don't have to fight over whose going to ask me because no merboy ever will I thought critically. I tried to push the thought away and swam out to breakfast.

That day at school seemed normal until a boy with blue eyes and blond hair smiled at me in a way that seemed more then friends right after 3rd period. I swam right to my cubby hole next to my best friends lesli's. "Hey you'll never believe what just happened!" I said as she lifted her bright pink eyes and long flowing reddish brown hair and big pink bow. "What?" she asked. "I think Ryler likes me! He smiled at me! At me!" I gasped and sank to the floor holding my tail and smiling. "Oh…cool." She said and swam off. I was confused as she went to lunch and left me sitting there. Was she jealous? Or is she having a bad day? She's had plenty of guys like her and she's been asked to dances like the clam clash so what's with her? The bell chimed and I quickly swam to 4th period anatomy.

At the end of the day I swam around the student lot where dolphin chariots and squid cycles were waiting for the richest of students meaning of course my sisters were calling my name to get in ours. I wanted to see Ryler and maybe say hello to him but I didn't see him again so I let my tail fall and was about to wallow over to my sisters when Lesli my best friend pulled me behind a clam cart. "Hey sorry about earlier, I feel really bad for swimming off on you like that Adella." She confessed. "Oh hey its no problem, I got to go right now my sisters are waiting." just as I said this and started to swim away she caught my arm. "Wait! It's because I wanted to ask you, will you go to the clam clash with me?" She asked earnestly with her pink eyes wide. "Uhh yeah we can go just us single ladies I guess." I shrugged and sighed at the thought of not pursing Ryler. She laughed and shook her head.

Then seeing my confused expression she replied "Not as my friend Adella, as my date." and with that she blew a kiss and swam back towards the school.

So what do you think? Was it good? Too much of a twist? Please review!
