Chapter 2- On Holiday
~Taylor Henderson~
I wasn't born a mermaid. I guess you could say it was fate. See I loved the ocean way before all of this stuff happened.
I didn't even know what made it happen. All I remember hearing was singing, seeing the full moon reflected in the water of my bathroom sink and then everything got hazy. The next day, I woke up in the bathtub. Then I had a tail the color of purple and dark blue.
See, it's not easy being a mermaid. Obviously! High school is no walk in the park. Water is everywhere. That means it is easier to transform.
I go to Seaside High with 3000 other students waiting to learn. And expose my secret! It seemed like as soon as I got my new powers and tail I had to avoid water much more. I didn't realize how much water I came into contact with until I had to start avoiding it. It was so hard! It seemed like I transformed at least once a day!
That's why I was glad when the summer finally came. Then I wouldn't have to make sure my secret wasn't out.
Then my parents demanded I get a job.
I hated the idea. Why should I get a job? Isn't the summer meant for sleeping in? Obviously they didn't think so.
So I made my way to the local café that served coffee and sandwiches. And I got a job.
I waited tables and took orders all for a couple of dollars a day. I figured at least it would keep me busy for the summer and I would have some money to throw around or save up for college.
I rode a bike to work everyday to keep in shape. It was fun to ride around and see the ocean on my way to work everyday.
When I got to work, I began working around the tables, taking orders and cleaning them as people left. It kept me busy.
I set down a cup of iced coffee for one snobby girl and she shrieked at me.
"What is this?!" She screamed, looking from me to the cup and back again.
"Well, that's an iced coffee, what you ordered" I said, standing taller.
"I did not order this! Ew! Take it back! Now!" She screamed. She picked up the coffee and threw it at me. It burst all over my clothes and my body. I screamed in shock and ran into the bathroom, closing the door just as soon as my tail appeared.
Well I'll be here for awhile. I thought.
