Chapter Two :
Dreamy Mermaid.
Two more days till the whole play concert, the clock was ticking fast. Maddie was up, changing into her uniform. In her pjs' in pink, Meryl got up and changed her uniform, and placed all her clothes practice choir in her bag, and sat at the table for breakfast with Maddie, and her mom. Her dad was away for business.
" Morning! " Meryl greeted.
" I'm full, we are gonna go now, right Meryl? "
" Okay. "
The girls waved and trotted, the time was 6.35am. Maddie was looking a little pale and was coughing.
" You alright? "
" Sure, just a little coughs. " Maddie sniffed.
The girls walked to the gates, and Maddie just passed out. Meryl was worried and carried her on her back, and lended their neighbour's skaters.
" Oh.. Choir.. no nevermind. "
The clock was ticking as the prefect was about to write those names..
" Oh, come on! "
Meryl rushed as fast as she could, and raced. Meryl knocked into some pupils, and aplogized. She knocked on the nurse's office.
" I need help! Hurry.. " She panted.
" The doctor's here.. Miss Sakura, pls excuse yourself. "
" I will be back later. "
Her classes had ended already, History, Science and Mathematics..
She panted and changed into her choir practice clothes, she was an hour late..
Mrs Douggal was outside, tapping her feet. And ran in to conduct. With a very bad face.
" I'm sorry, I'm late! "
" NO EXCUSES! OUT, you are out of the play! "
" Gimme a chance, pls! "
" NO. "
Every student stared, and murrmured. Some of the girls even sneered and laughed.
Meryl felt unhappy, she needed a FRIEND, after school, she didnt talk to Maddie about it, worrying what will happen, she hailed a taxi for Maddie to go home.
She lied that she had extra maths lessons, instead she went to the school playground exercise room, and swinged real hard sobbing.
A gentle shadow, and a guy came up to her also on the swing swinging away.
She looked at her handphone picture, and closed it.
That guy talked to her.
" Are you sad too? "
" Yah, I missed all my lessons, and my friend is sick.. and I lost the singing part of the play becos of my latefulness."
" Wow, thats tragic. You alright? "
" I dont know.. "
" Anyway, wanna come with me for some fun? "
They trotted and made friends with each other, and went to the fun fair, they even toke some pictures together. They arrived at the fun fair stage, and..
" Sing, come on sing. I wanna hear it. "
" But, I cant! "
" Just a flashly one. "
' I wanna sing, sing with the stars and with you alone. '
' You alone, standing and always here for me, I am grateful. '
' I wanna swim in the melody of oblivion to forget my past and be born anew with you.. '
Suddenly, Meryl stopped and stood with tears in her eyes. She sweared never to touch music, before all her friends and families..
" Whats wrong? " Kai asked.
" Nothing.. I wanna go home. "
" Okay, I will walk you home. "
" Thanks, Kai. "
" After tomorrow is the day, do ur best. I will be there. "
" Okay. "
They walked to Maddie's house, and he left with a goodbye, Meryl walked to the stairs and took a bath and sighed, and began dreaming..
A mermaid and a prince, just like Mermaid Melody, will she be the one? She dream and dream, she will find her Kaito, and fell asleep.
Maddie secretly put some miso soup for her in her room, and clsoed the door.
" Rest well, my dear friend.. " she whispered.
