"Oh no," I thought, "Oh no, no, no, no, no." I repeated over and over again. He saw me, he saw me! Oh gods, I feel sick.
We locked eyes and stared at each other which seemed like a millennium. The he slowly raised his hand and waved at me, with a ridiculous smile on his face. "Hey there!" he yelled over to me. "How'd you ge over there?!"
I froze.
Should I answer him, or swim away? Oh god, oh god, oh god.
And of course...I panicked. I waved back, ever so slowly. A tiny wave, nothing big.
"What are you doing out there!?" he shouted over. "I-..." I began, but stopped myself.
What should I say? 'Hi, my name is Christian and I'm a fish person...?'
No, that would be stupid, but...I couldn't help myself.
"I'm, uh...swimming!" that works, I guess.
"Oh...! Well...want to come up here and talk or something!? I got time if you do!"
H-He wants to talk to me? Me?! I could feel a small blush on my face. I wanted to talk to him, but...huff, stupid tail. 'Gotta think fast' I thought as I looked around, noticing a small cliff.
"Over there!" I yelled over to him, swimming over to the small cliff, keeping my tail under the water, unseen.
He stood there for a sec, then ran over to the cliff, bending down to meet my face. Smiling a stupid grin.
This could be interesting.
