Just add Water: A Tail of Frienemies

Revealed

Bella pov:
The girls and I were at Emma's house  to discuss something about our mermaidness.
So what is this about, Rikki asked.
As I Told you I needed to talk to about our mermaidness,Emma said.
Yeah, I replied.
It's going totally out of hand, I mean Byron has been asking me so many questions that I don't have answers to, it's just freaking me out, Emma said
This is new, Rikki said as she sat down.
Well this has been happening to me too, Will has been asking me so much things that I don't even know where to start like, what should I do, sometimes I feel like they should know everything about us, I sighed.
Me too, Emma said
No, Cleo will Kill us, Rikki said.
Easy for you to say that, you boyfriend already knows about us, Emma said.
Yeah, it's not fair on us, I said.
Well it wasn't exactly fair on Cleo when she found out that she was a mermaid, she went through it alone, and you both are giving up after 6 months, Where's the spirit in that,Rikki said.
I know it's not fair on her bit we have to do something, I said.
Rikkis right we can't tell anyone, Emma said as she got up and drank some water.
We can't just reveal these secrets that Cleo kept for years now can we, Emma added.
You're right, I said.

The Next Day.
Bella and Will are on the beach walking around.
Hey guys, Byron  said as he walked towards us with Emma
Hi, I said.
We were hanging out you wanna join, Emma asked.
Yeah sure, Will said.
We all talked for awhile until Will popped up a proposal.
You wanna go for a swim, Will asked.
Can't I'm going somewhere after this, I said.
Yeah me too, Emma said.
Mind if we go then, Byron asked.
No, go ahead, Emma said as we both sat on a rock.
Do you remember the last time you and Will went in the water together, Emma asked.
Yep, 6 months ago before the last day of school we woke up early and went diving together, I said.
Yeah I remember that, We went on a double date, That was the last time I ever went on a swim with Byron, Emma said.
Soon after the boys came in and we started talking until they both leaned towards us to kiss and we both leaned in until their hands which were wet touched us.
Umm, sorry we go to go, I said as Emma and I ran towards the water.

No one pov:
What was that for, Will asked Byron who was sitting on rock.
I don't know, maybe they didn't want to kiss us, Byron sighed.
I don't know, I have a feeling they are hiding something from us, Will said.
So it isn't just me, Byron confirmed.
It's like when they touch water they disappear in a snap, Will said.
Maybe it's got something to do with water, Byron suggested
Yeah, we can ask Zane too, maybe Rikki is also acting weird, Will suggested.
No, I've seen them together they have been swimming, Byron said.
So maybe he knows something, Will said.
Maybe, but let's focus on the girls, Byron said as he bagan to walk again.

Later that day
Will pov:
Byron and I were on the beach and then we saw something we never thought would happen.
We saw Emma, Rikki and Bella talking to Cleo.
Is that Cleo, Byron said in shock.
Yeah, I haven't seen her in a While, I said
Yeah, She's so hot right now, that dress suits her perfectly, Byron said.
Byron snap out of it, I said.
Yeah yeah sorry, He said.
What are they doing talking to Cleo, I asked.
I have no idea, maybe they caught her aquaphobia, He said.
We saw them swim in water, I said
We then saw Zane walk up to us.
Zane, come here, I said.
What's up, He said.
Has Rikki been acting weird recently, Byron asked.
Nope, not on my side, Zane said.
Like don't you feel like she is hiding something, I said.
No, Why, He asked.
Bella and Emma, two water lovers hate it now, Byron said.
Maybe they just wanted a break from it, focus more on graded this year, you know normal stiff they never did, Zane said.
But they quit swimming, I said.
Maybe they hate it now, He said.
We saw them swim in water, I said.
Maybe they don't want to swim with you, He said.
They are talking to Cleo, Byron said.
Maybe they regret doing all those things to her and now are friends, Zane said.
You are of no use, Come on Byron, I said.

Zane pov:
Right after Will and Byron left I ran over to the girls.
Girls, I shouted.
What, Rikki said.
They are on to you, I said.
You mean on to like they think we are mermaids, Emma said.
Not exactly, but they know somethings going on, I said.
Great, now how are we going to hide that, Bella said.
Well good luck with that, Cleo said as she walked away.
Cleo come on, aren't you the one who always tells us to keep this a secret, Emma said.
True, Cleo said.
Come on how did you deal with this, Bella asked.
I avoided it, Cleo said.
How did you avoid it, I asked.
You know, there was these 3 girls who used to call me aquaphobic, so I simply ignored it. Other than that I had nothing to hide as no one had any sort of relationship with me, Cleo said.
The three girls rolled their eyes while I let out a chuckle.
Let's get to the point shall we, we can't let them Find out about us, Rikki said.
So what are we going to do, Bella said.
Avoid them, I said.
What, Don't be a Cleo, Emma said.
No, he is right, avoiding them is the only way so that they don't find out, Cleo said.
See one of you agrees with me, and  she also happens to be the smartest one here, I said.
Maybe they are right, Rikki said.
Cause we are, Cleo said.
Well, you Don't know what's it like to avoid someone, Bella said.
Hello, I had to avoid the entire world, Cleo said.
Your case was different, Our case is different, Emma said.
Do what you want to, just Don't let them Find out, Cleo said as she walked away for good this time.

Will pov:
So we tell them to meet us on the beach and then we start asking them questions, I said.
Got it, Byron said
We called the girls and they arrived soon.
So, Byron and I realized that you guys aren't yourselves lately, like you have been hiding something from us, I said.
What, Bella said.
Like you used to enjoy swimming but you don't now, Byron said.
Well, we swim occasionally, Emma said.
Not with us, I said.
Okay, is this a Q&A, Bella asked.
Of course not, we just feel like you are hiding something, I said.
Well whatever you think, it's not true, Emma said as she and Bella walked away.
Somethings wrong, I said.

Emma pov:
I can't believe this, I said.
They are really suspecting us now, like a few days ago Will asked me what the deal is with me and Water, like what shouod I say, when I touched water I sprout a tail and become a mermaid, Bella said.
Byron has been asking me about this non stop, I said.
What do we do, we have to keep this a secret, what if Willl tells Sophie or Byron tells Miriam, they both will surely tell the entire world making us experiments, She said.
As we were talking a got a text and so did Bella, so we took out our phones from our pockets.
It was from Will
Please meet Byron and me at my place, we are so sorry, I read.
Should we go, Bella asked.
Yeah, I said.

Few hours later
Bella and Emma were at Will's.
Bella pov:
Hey, Will said.
Hi, Emma replied.
So, we are really sorry for what we said earlier, Byron said.
So no more of the water and us thingy, I asked.
No more, Will said.
Thank you, Emma and I both said.
They both then held our hands and in a second they took two glasses filled with water and poured it on us.
Seriously, Emma and I exclaimed.
We quickly jumped in the water and they followed us.
After a few second we grew tails and then they were in shock.
Emma and I exchanged looks for awhile until we wentback up.
We can explain, I said.
You better, Byron said.

So let me get this straight, A few months ago you both went to Mako Island and turned into Mermaids, Rikki, Zane, Lewis and Cleo know about it but they aren't one themselves.
And Cleo is allergic to water so she can't go in it, so she is teaching you both how to be an aquaphobic, Will said.
That's about right, I said.
I still can't get how Cleo is allergic to water like who Is, Byron said.
Apparently her, Emma said.
So they know about it, Will asked.
Yeah, I said

After Awhile
They found out, Cleo exclaimed.
Yeah, I said.
But they don't know about you three, Emma said.
But they know about us, and that creatures like us exists, Cleo shouted.
Cleo, look at the bright side, now they both Don't have to lie to their boyfriends and they don't know about you me and Rikki, Lewis said.
Okay, yeah umm, from now you will lead them away from us, not leave there sight, so that they maintain the secrets, do whatever you lovebirds do, but do not let them leave your sight unless they are sleeping or at home or at school, Cleo said.
Okay, I said
