Last time on Starfish:
"What in the world a-a mer-maid!" A human yells from the beach. Oh god I'm dead.
Tobias POV
"Give it back Uriah!" Cristina says. "That's my cake!"
"Oh really I don't see your name on it" Uriah says as he takes a bite.
"Uriah!"
"Why? It's mine now!" Uriah says playfully.
"No it's not give me!" Cris says like a two year old.
"Why don't I buy you ice cream instead Cris" Will says and puts his arm around her.
"Fine!" Cris crosses her arms "But I'm not letting Uriah have any. And I'm getting Chocolate!" Cris says sticking her tongue out at Uriah. Why do they act like 2 year olds all the time. Shauna, Zeke, Will, And I are the only ones who don't act crazy all the time.
"But I want ice cream too! I want chocolate!" Uriah whines. I'm just staring at all of them. Like seriously grow up.
"Fine I'll buy you ice cream too Uri." Will says.
"No Uri doesn't get any!" Cris says.
"Oh, Come on guys. Stop acting like 2 year olds" Zeke says with annoyance in his voice. I can tell everyone is getting bored. I stand up and walk out. This just got boring. I walk to the beach. The beach is literally a few steps away. I walk along the beach lines kicking stones in the sand.
I sit on the sand and look at the ocean. There is literally no other place I rather be then on the beach right now. The sun is falling out of the sky and the water is so alive with secrets no one knows about yet. Yet. I pick up a rock and make a wish. A wish is all I need.
"How I wish I could just swim freely away from this world. Find a new one. A better one." I say. I throw the rock into the ocean and hope for the best. I stand up and walk in the way of the cafe. They'll probably be wondering where I am. Even though Zeke and Shauna noticed me walking out. They never said anything. That's weird they always stop me.
Splash. Water slashes me every where. I'm socked. I look in the way of the nose and see no one. How? What the...
The thing that splashed me has a tail. A very big one. and is swimming every where I walk over to the water. The thing climbs onto a rock a very big rock. The rock is not very far away. The tail is very big and the upper half is a person. A girl. Is a shark eating her? Wait, The picture just got clearer. I never thought I'd say this. But they usually drown sailors with a song. She could be dangerous. But I'm seeing a-
"What in the world a-a mer-maid!" I yell. She looks over at me with annoyance in her face. I look into her eyes. Her beautiful blue eyes. They are not a dark blue but a very light blue. She gets off the rock and swims toward me. Maybe this was a bad idea. I'm about to walk away buy I hear a voice that's as sweet as honey.
"Please don't go" It doesn't seem scary. Well I mean She. She might just be as old as Cristina. The mermaid thing-y drags her tail into the sand "I know I'm not good at making friends but can we talk about this." She says pointing to her tail.
"Um-I-I-I think so?" I say sorta ask.
"Okay make up your mind. I don't have all day" She says with anger in her voice. Not in the same tone as before.
"Okay. Now I can see why you can't make friends."
"Shut it long legs"
"Sorry mam" I say really fast.
"Look I won't do any harm but If you tell anyone that mer-people exist, They wont stop until they find us.
And I could hear what you wished for. Do you want that whole underwater world to go Poof."
"First of all I won't tell anyone and second I don't think it'll go Poof."
"It will, trust me." she says. "Do you trust me?"
"I don't even know your name."
"My name is Bea-"
"You really don't know your name?"
"It's Tris. Tris"
"Okay Tris I've never thought I'd see a mermaid and I don't know the first thing about you but I trust you. But do you trust me?" I have no idea why, but I trust her. There is that something about her that no one else I know has. Other than that tail.
It took Zeke a year before I could trust him.
"I guess so" She says looking at every inch of me. "If you trust me would you like to swim?"
"Sure" I say taking my shirt off. And she just that look. The look that you only get when You know you're doing something wrong but your trying to forget about it. I take my shoes off and jump in the water. As I swim I look at her. Her beautiful eyes are looking at me. The coral is so beautiful down here and just full of secrets. I look around and just have so much fun. She swims up and I follow her. Maybe this is where she wants to show me something. I go up and find a rock. Just a rock.
"Why'd you come up?" I ask
"My dad is down there. If we go to deep. He could hurt you really badly. Or worse." Tris says and climbs onto the rock. I do the same. "I don't want you to get hurt."
"Oh okay." I look down "But why. Why do this. Don't you kill sailors?" I ask. She looks at me eyes wide and her smile turns into a frown. I said something wrong
"Is that what you think of me?" She says arms crossed.
"Um no-No" I say.
"Some do, but that is forbidden in my pod" Pod? I think It's better not to ask. "Wait here"
"Um... Okay?" She jumps off of the rock and swims over to the buoy and picks things off it. Ew what is she doing. she comes back with very small starfish. 3 of them.
"What are you doing with those?" I ask.
"This" She takes them and puts them as earrings. "They say nice things to you. Aw stop it I'm not pretty" She's talking to the starfish. I guess. "Here. Put it on your ear-lob. It says nice things to you. It's like a mini friend. And It's a pet so don't kill it okay."
"Thanks but I don't wear earrings. Can I put it somewhere else?"
"I see a lot of land boys wearing earrings. And plus who are they going to talk to you if you put it somewhere else?"
"Okay I guess. You know I have never had a mermaid friend before." I say.
"And I. I never learned to make friends" She says.
"Well now you have one" I say. And that puts a smile on her face.
"Thanks Tobias"
"How do you know my name?"
"The Starfish know everything"
The Starfish
She's Perfect
