Hey guys! I was wondering why I haven't got any reviews since the second chapter. I'm not saying I'm going to end the story or anything I was just wondering why. But anyways in a few chapters I'm going to accept another character. More information is coming then.


"It was us!" Lyla argued. "How do you know?" Caroline threw back. Lydia was sick of this, "Guys, how about we go there and see what's going on." Lydia suggested.

They went in the water and swam back to land. They went to Caroline's house and turned on the news.


"Hello, Gold Coast! I have breaking news. We all know the big storm flooded 178 houses last night. Reportedly 29 houses were on fire and they all got the flood. More on this story will be tonight at 8:00. now back to you Tim."

"It turns out the world has gone fiasco with nyan cats-"


Caroline turned off the TV, "This is horrible!" she was freaking out about this. "What happened last night anyways?" Lydia asked.

"Here's what I remember," Lyla started, "Caroline was acting really weird when she got to the school and she wanted us to go see the full moon..."

"I didn't want to tell you guys this but I had a vision about the full moon. I just thought I was being paranoid.." Caroline said.

"So I guess we get...moonstruck?" Lyla said. "Yep." Lydia and Caroline answered.


Lydia was swimming. Swimming fast. She got in the moon pool. She thought how dumb the side affects to being a mermaid were. Like not looking at a full moon for example.

Lydia was in the moon pool for a few hours until she left. Lydia's father was standing at the door when she got home. He didn't look happy. "Hey I just got your report card!" he said not so enthusiastically.

"How did I do?" she asked.

"Lydia apparently you haven't showed up to any of your classes so far. Your teachers try looking for you after classes, but they can never find you."

"Dad I'm sorry!-" Lydia started.

"Sorry is not going to cut it this time. Lydia, you could have been homeschooled. I could have taught you. But you wanted friends, and you didn't want an education."

"That's not true! I've been homeschooling myself."

Well now you're going to be homeschooling yourself, at home!"

"But Dad!"

"No buts."


Caroline and Lyla wanted to go for a swim. So they jumped off the dock and went.

Lydia was already waiting for them. When they got there Lydia needed to say it.

"Guys I have to tell you something." Lydia said.

"Yes?" Caroline asked.

"I...I...I... I got a corn dog earlier. Bye!" and with that, Lydia hurried out.

"What was that about?" Lyla asked. Caroline just shrugged.

"I'm sure she'll tell us sooner or later. You know she is a pretty shy person." said Caroline.

"But a lot of the time she's angry." Lyla said.

"Like... You?" Caroline joked.

"Thats not funny." said Lyla.

"Aww, you know it was. Come on!" Caroline laughed.

"Okay maybe it was a little funny..." Lyla admitted.

"Told ya!" Caroline joked.

"You know, there might be other mermaids or moon pools out there..." Lyla suggested.

"Yeah there probably is. I hope we can find some." Caroline said.

"Yeah, but that will probably be 10 years from now." Lyla joked.

"Come on. Let's go." said Caroline as she grabbed Lydia and they swam until it was night time. They were busy hanging on to dolphins while they swam. The dolphins sure seemed to like it.

They did too.

Meanwhile Lydia felt bad for not telling her friends.

But how could she? she wondered.


I feel bad for Lydia right now. but she doesn't want to be homeschooled and I do. I have some really mean teachers and pressure to be organized. I'll tell you how it works out in the end.

Next chapter is called: How Do I Do This?
