Just add Water: A Tail of Frienemies

Just add Books

Emma pov:
We head back to my house and with the book and start reading it.
The book was incredible, it didn't get wet and the writings were amazing.
This is the first time I'm reading a real mermaid book made by one real mermaid, Bella said
I think its our first time reading a real mermaid book which was made by a mermaid, Rikki said.
Come on read it!read it, Bella and Rikki exclaimed.
Alright I'll read it calm down you two, I said before I started reading.

Chapter-1- Introduction.
If you're reading this you know the impossible is possible.
You are a mermaid, with great power.
You think you know everything while you know nothing.
This book has secrets that no one can no about not even your family.
Your abilities are extraordinary, and people would tend to show this to the whole world and expose our secret.
This is why I'm here, to help you.
I turned into a mermaid when I was 9 and am the first one is existence.
I have studied this place like no other and have learned secrets along the year.
Of course I'm not going to be here forever, I may never get to help you in person, that's why I'm writing this so no one would have to go through this alone.
Here are some precautions you need to take about reading this book:
☆Read this book somewhere no one would look to avoid questions.
☆Keep this book at its place when you are finished reading it so no one finds it.
☆Never let a human look through this book, If anyone asks just tell them it's not yours and that the person who lent it to me is very stubborn and doesn't want me to give it to anybody at all.
The last one is the most important rule for the book as we never know who people really are.
With the help of this book you will get to know each and every secret of Mako Island.

Wow, Rikki said.
If this was the first chapter I can't imagine what the next one will be, I said.
She put rules in the first chapter itself, Bella said.
But all in one it is a great book, I said.
It is, Rikki said.
So Em, When is your family leaving for the resort, Bella asked
First thing tomorrow morning, and they will be gone for a month, I said.
So you have this whole place to yourself, Rikki said.
Yep, I was thinking we could keep the book here at my place as no one will be here, I said.
That does make sense, Bella said.
Fine with me, Rikki said.
Hey, it's getting late I should probably head home, Bella said.
Yeah Me too, Rikki said.
Ok, Bye, I said.
Bye Em, They both said.

*The next day*
Bella pov:
I wake up to see many messages on my phone.
I open them up and saw that it was from Emma and Rikki.
I quickly read all of them.

Emma

Rikki

Your messages woke me up!!!

Emma

Rikki

Emma

Rikki

Emma
I would but I can't, but you go.

Rikki

Emma

Hey girls I just read your messages.
First of all I can't believe that Rikki woke up before me.
And Second why are we meeting at 10???

Emma
@BellaHartley did you just wake up?

@EmmaGilbert yeah I just woke up

Where is Rikki??

Emma
She went for a swim at 6:30 or something but she should be back by now.
Anyways We are meeting at my place for the 📖 and to hangout.
And I can also show you both my secret spot where I am keeping the 📖

Rikki

Emma
@RikkiChadwick So if anyone hacks us they will not understand.

@EmmaGilbert Why will anyone hack us and we don't understand Emojis anyways.

Emma
You know what I'm talking about now hurry up its  already 9:30!!!

We are coming, now I need to get ready Bye.

I quickly get ready and head to Emma's.

As soon as I reached Emma's house Rikki was there too and we all head upstairs.

So you both ready, Emma said.
Yeah, I said.
She went to one of her chairs and took out the cushion and under it was a secret compartment where she had kept the book.
Em, you sure this is the best place to keep it, I mean like your parents must know this place and maybe Elliot does too, so what If they look in there, Rikki said.
Don't worry about that, We didn't know about this when we bought the chair and after that In a few days I realized it but I didn't tell anyone, Emma said.
Okay good, no one will find it here, so  can we read the book later and talk abit first, I said.
That's a great Idea, Come on let's go downstairs, Emma said.
Hey you got anything to eat I'm starving  , Rikki said.
Yeah there are some muffins on the counter and Yogurt in the fridge, help yourselves, Emma said.

We had been talking alot until the door bell rang.
I'll get it, Emma said as she went upto the door.
Zane hi, She said.
Hi Emma, I'm here for the documents which your parents were supposed give to my father, Zane said.
Oh yeah I forgot about those, my mum gave it to me before leaving, they are in my room I'll go get it, Emma said.
It's fine I'll get it, it looks like you have got some company, Zane said looking towards Rikki and Me.
Umm, okay fine, they are on my desk,Emma said.
Great, Zane said as he went upstairs.
We kept talking and then Zane said Found them,Bye girls,He said.
Bye, Rikki said.
We talked for awhile but till we knew it it was almost lunchtime and I had to go home.
