Chapter 2 First Day of School

Lyla's POV

One Month Later

"Lyla", I heard somebody say as they shook me. "Lyla!"

With that my eyes shot open and I saw Sirena and Nixie.

"Good", the latter said. "You're up."

"Why did you wake me up", I asked.

"It's our first day of land school remember", Nixie asked. "Now come on! We'd better get to Rita's house."

One Hour Later

Sirena, Nixie, Mimmi, Ondina and I arrived at school.

Since it could be a long time before we convince the pod to come back, we decided to try and live on land more. And we thought a good starting point would be to go to land school.

I was wearing a white, sleeveless top under a purple, short sleeved button up top that was buttoned up most of the way; dark grey, knee length leggings; white trainers and a purple backpack.

My hair was straight and loose with one braided strand pulled to the back of my head.

Sirena was wearing a baby pink, sleeveless top with thin straps; a baby blue, knee length jean skirt; white trainers and a baby pink backpack.

Her hair was in tight waves and loose with a braided strand on each said of her head pulled to the back.

Nixie was wearing a black, knee length dress with a button up torso; white trainers and a black backpack.

Her hair was wavy and loose.

Mimmi was wearing a navy blue, sleeveless top with daisies on it; baby blue jean shorts; white trainers and an ocean blue backpack.

Her hair was wavy and loose.

Ondina was wearing an olive green, short with top with a pocket; baby blue jean shorts; white trainers and a green backpack.

Her hair was very curly and loose.

"This is so exciting", Mimmi said happily. "I've always wanted to go to land school!"

"Not me", Ondina revealed. "This is a waste of time."

"Then why did you come with", Nixie asked.

Before anybody could answer, I heard somebody call my name.

I turned around and saw Zac.

He was wearing an olive green and dark green, horizontally striped shirt; light blue, knee length jean shorts and olive green sneakers with white laces, white tips and white soles.

"Greetings merladies", he greeted. "Are you excited for land school?"

"I'm not", Ondina repeated. "This is a waste of time."

"Then why did you come", I asked.

"Because she wanted an excuse to spend time with Erik", Mimmi stated.

"Shut up", Ondina demanded causing everybody to laugh.

However...our laughter stopped when we saw Evie.

"Let's go."

Evie's POV

I watched as Zac and the mermaids left.

"What was that about", Carly asked

"Things have been awkward between me and them ever since I broke up with Zac."

"Why did you break up with him anyway", Carly asked.

"When he found out that he was adopted, he wouldn't let me comfort him", I revealed. "But he let Lyla."

"I'm sorry E", Carly said.

"It's okay", I stated. "It's over now."

HotXbun: Oh boy.

Challenge: Tell me what you think is going to happen next.

My Answer: Honestly? I'm not even sure yet.
