Chapter 12

Musa was in the school's yard.

-Musa, I really gotta talk to you.-said Riven.

-Than talk.-said Musa.

-I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date?-asked Riven.

-No.-said Musa walking away.

-Please, just one date.-he said.

-No!-said Musa.

-What about Friday then, why did you kiss me?-he asked.

-You kissed me!-said Musa.

-And you kissed back!-he said.

-That was a mistake ok? Now bye!-said Musa walking away.

-But, it seemed different then!-said Riven.

-It wasn't, ok? Now leave me alone!-Musa ran off to sea and jumped in the water.

She got to MAKO, she found Flora and Bloom there too.

-Hey guys.-said Musa.

-Hey, what's up?-asked Bloom.

-You know, same old boring stuff, what about you?-asked Musa.

-Likewise.-said Bloom.

-Well, not exactly.-said Flora blushing.

-What is it? Come on spill!-said Musa.

-Helia asked me out.-said Flora.

-Who?-asked Musa.

-You know, long black hair, my crush, shares a dorm with the Specialists.-said Flora.

-I thought that was a girl.-said Musa the girls were laughing-Kidding, good luck on your date.

…..

Bloom, Musa and Flora came back to their dorm. The others were there (the girls and Timmy)

-Hey what's up?-asked Bloom.

-Riven's onto us.-said Tecna-He ran some kind of a research about mermaids and saw that we're running away from water and he's got a picture of a mermaid's tail.-Tecna showed them a picture of one of their tails diving out the water.

-Wait, that's my tail! I was there yesterday at that time, I jumped in the water and he must've took a picture of my tail!-said Flora.

-Girls, we have to be on alert and that means no swimming!-said Tecna.

-Great! No swimming, again!-said Musa.

-It's only for a while.-said Bloom.

-I'll go out.-said Musa.

-You're not gonna swim are you?-asked Flora.

-Chill, you think I'm that stupid?!-asked Musa.

-But be careful, he knows the secret spot as well.-said Timmy.

-Ok, ok! I'll just go to the café!-said Musa.

Musa was at the café sitting on a table, when she saw Riven getting inside. He went straight towards her.

-Hi.-he said.

-Hi.-said Musa.

-Musa, can you please give me one chance, just one date, that's all!-said Riven.

-Why do you want to go out with me so much?-asked Musa.

-I like you ok?-said Riven.

-You know, it's not such a bad idea.-said Musa. Riven's face lit up.

-Under one condition, no mermaid talk, I heard you're talking about mermaids on and on, stop that, and none of my friends should know we're dating.-said Musa.

-That's two conditions.-said Riven.

Musa glared at him-Ok, ok!-said Riven.

-Good.-said Musa as she smiled.

-So, how about we go out tonight, to the movies?-asked Riven.

-Ok.-said Musa-Well, I gotta go back, I'll meet you here in two hours?-asked Musa as Riven nodded.

Musa was ready for her date and was about to go out.

-Where are you going Musa?-asked Stella.

-The café. I'll stay there for a while.-said Musa.

-Ok, we know you're going for a swim, just be careful and be back by curfew!-said Tecna.

-Ok mum!-said Musa as she got out.

The next day Musa over slept and the girls who thought she was awake, woke her up five minutes before class starts.

-Come on hurry up! We'll all be late!-yelled Tecna.

-I'm frying!-said Musa with the tooth brush in her mouth.

-What are frying, fish?-asked Layla and started laughing.

-Layla, this is serious, if we're late, that means detention, and if we get detention, that means there's no time to prepare and buy stuff for the full moon tomorrow!-said Tecna.

-Ok stress head, I'm ready! Come on let's go!-said Musa going out of her room.

-Honestly, why did you over sleep?-asked Flora rushing.

-I came home late, I lost track of time at MAKO.-said Musa, also rushing.

The bell rang and the girls were still rushing. They got to their first class, but were five minutes late.

-Good morning, Miss G.-said Stella sheepishly.

-Ladies, you're late! Detention! Tomorrow afternoon you'll be helping me with cleaning my office.-said Miss G.

-Miss G. can we help you the day after tomorrow?-asked Bloom.

-No! Tomorrow!-she said-Now go to your places!

The girls went to their seats.

-Now what, tomorrow's the full moon!-whispered Tecna.

-Why did you come late, you know Miss G. is really harsh!-said Timmy.

-Well, someone here overslept!-Stella glared at Musa.

-Sorry!-said Musa-You should've woke me up!

-You shouldn't have been late in the first place!-said Layla.

-Not so funny now is it Layla?-asked Tecna.

-I never said this is funny!-said Layla.

-Well you were laughing!-said Tecna.

-It's not my fault, it's Musa's!-said Layla.

-Well Flora should've been more careful with the swimming, maybe then they wouldn't have a picture of her tail and I wouldn't have to swim in stress!-said Musa.

-Oh come on! You were stressed you couldn't swim so you went swimming! It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard!-said Flora.

-And besides, you can live for a few days without swimming, you weren't a mermaid your whole life!-said Bloom.

-Enough! Do you want detention today!?-yelled Miss G., since their whispering was too loud.

….

The girls were in the cafeteria, quietly eating.

-Musa can I talk to you?-asked Timmy as he and Musa went aside-What were you doing with Riven yesterday, you should stay away from him, he's a mermaid hunter, he's dangerous!-said Timmy.

-Timmy, it's my decision. I was on a date with him.-said Musa.

-A date?! You and Riven!? You almost killed him and now you went on a date with him?!-Timmy was shocked.

-So?-asked Musa-Look, you can't tell the girls, they'll be worried, ok?

-Ok, but you'll have to tell them once.-said Timmy.

-And I will, just after this whole mermaid hunting situation dies down. But I especially can't tell them now since they're angry.-said Musa.

They got back to the table with the others.
