A young 16 year old boy was sitting alone in his classroom. The boy had blue hair and green eyes.
The boys name was Minoru Aozora and he's been bullied for his entire life. Even his parents didn't care about him and just ignored him with his daily struggles.
It was lunch time and Minoru took his lunch from his bag when suddenly a punch of bullies took it.
"G-Give it back, please." Begged Minoru.
"Ha! In your dreams loser, I'm eating this and that's." Said the bully.
Minoru then decided to leave but the bullies didn't let him.
"What's that around your neck loser?" Asked the bully.
"N-Nothing!" Answered Minoru with a frightened tone.
"Oh? Then you probably don't mind if I take it from you." Said the bully.
Minoru then places his hands around the locket he had, but the bully trio grabbed him and one of them took it off of him and then threw it towards the wall and then it broke.
Minoru rushed to pick the pieces up but then the trio started beating him up but then stopped and left.
All of that happened and none of the other students didn't even try to stop them. They were just chatting casually and eating their food.
Minoru quickly rushed out of the classroom while putting the broken pieces of his locket to his pockets and quickly headed to the cafeteria. There he noticed that there were no line so he quickly rushed to buy some bread but the bullies were there too and they then quickly tackled him where he then flew towards the wall and his nose started to bleed. Again no one was like nothing happened. Even the food seller didn't care.
Minoru then grabbed his bag and run to the toilet, while crying, to place paper to stop the bleeding from his nose.
After that he just decided to leave school and head to the port and then he started to cry really loud and he also threw the broken locket pieces to the water.
"Hi there!" Greeted an unfamiliar female voice.
"*Sniff* Huh?" Said Minoru with a confused tone.
Minoru looked around but didn't see anyone nearby.
"M-Must've been my imagination." Said Minoru.
"Look down please." Said the female voice.
Minoru then looked down and saw a girl with long pink hair and emerald colored eyes. She had a pearl necklase around her neck. She also had a backpack.
"Is something wrong? Why are you crying?" Asked the girl.
Minoru doesn't answer and just goes to the other side of the pier. The girl then comes the other side.
"What's your name then? My name is Lillie Hamasaki." Said the girl.
Minoru still ignores her.
"Why are you ignoring me?" Asked Lillie.
"There's no need for me to tell you anything since I don't even know you." Said Minoru.
"I want to know what's wrong since I've heard you crying here alot." Said Lillie.
"Then tell me why are you in the water." Said Minoru.
Lillie then jumps out of the water revealing her lower half belonging to a mermaid.
"I'm a mermaid." Answered Lillie with a bright smile.
Minoru gets shocked and stands up revealing his bloody nose.
"What happened to you?! Did someone beat you up something?" Asked Lillie with a concerned tone.
"O-Oh, n-no. S-Someone just t-tripped me." Answered Minoru.
"That can't be just someone tripping you over! That's more like tackling you!" Shouted Lillie.
"Wh-Why do you sound like you care?" Asked Minoru.
"Because I do care! I've been trying to come to talk to you but I didn't know what to say." Answered Lillie.
Minoru then started to cry so Lillie decided to hug him to make him feel better.
When Lillie let go of Minoru, she heard his stomach rumbling so she took her backpack from her back and took some food from there.
"Here eat up." Said Lillie with a smile.
"Th-Thank you." Thanked Minoru.
Minoru then started to eat the food that Lillie gave him and he found it delicious.
"M-Minoru Aozora." Said Minoru.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Minoru." Said Lillie happily.
"W-Why do you have a backpack with you?" Asked Minoru curiously.
"I sometimes come get some items from the surface that we could use." Answered Lillie.
"H-How?" Asked Minoru with a confused tone.
"We can transform our mermaid parts into human legs." Answered Lillie.
"A-Ah okay." Said Minoru.
They then spent some more time together and when Lillie was leaving, she jumped back to the water.
"Oh yeah, do you come here tomorrow too?" Asked Lillie with a small blush.
"I-I probably will. Why?" Answered Minoru.
"I was thinking that you should start a new life underwater." Explained Lillie.
"H-How?" Asked Minoru.
"By turning into a Merman, but I'll have to ask the ruler of the place where I live." Answered Lillie.
"G-Got it." Said Minoru.
Lillie then dived underwater to head home and Minoru did the same.
When Lillie arrived to the underwater city, she headed to the palace and was greeted by the guardsthat then let her in.
"Father, I've returned!" Announced Lillie happily.
"Welcome home Lillie." Said the king.
"Father, I'd like to speak with you about something." Said Lillie.
"What is it?" Asked the king.
Lillie then explained Minoru's situation and that she'd like to help him.
"Aah, I see. Very well." Answered the king.
"Really?! Yay!" Shouted Lillie happily while swimming in circles.
"Big sis, did you fall in love with him?" Asked a young girl.
"I-I guess I did." Answered Lillie with a blush.
"Are you going to take care of him?" Asked the girl.
"Y-Yes, I'll care for him no matter what happens." Answered Lillie with a blush.
Lillie then swam to her room to wait for tomorrow.
