"But how was your date" Neteyam whisper's sitting down next to me
"Omg!! It wasn't a date" I groan laying back on my bed
"Sure it wasn't" he replies with a chuckle "what did you talk about" he asks laying back next to me.
I turn to him our faces only inches apart "none of your business" i whisper.

The next dayI woke up early this morning at the sound of waves crashing out in the ocean

The next day
I woke up early this morning at the sound of waves crashing out in the ocean. I decided to go for a walk on the beach to waste time, it shouldn't be long till lessons anyway. I sneak out of the hut trying not to wake anyone and I make my way down to the sand. The sun is still rising, it's so beautiful.

"What are you doing princess" I turn around it's Neteyam.

"Are you following me, you creep" I joke
"Nah, why are you up so early, if I tried to wake you up this early you would slit my throat open" he chuckles
"Maybe I should" I say turning back away from him.
He laughs and comes to stand next to me.

"Do you like it here?" I ask looking up from the water
"Yeah, it's nice i guess but it's not like home" he responds
"Yeah, I just feel like I don't fit in" I sigh
"Don't say that y/n" he says holding my hand
"Plus I think you did better than all of us yesterday in the swimming" he laughs I laugh too.

"Hey lovebirds lessons are starting!"
Ao'nung shouts his with his friends and Zueki. Did Zueki see us holding hands? He already thought we were in a relationship.

"We better get going" Neteyam whispers to me walking over to the group and I follow behind him dropping his hand, he turns and looks kind of disappointed.

"Today we will find you an ilu" tsireya says excited. Neteyam looks to me grinning and I smile back

"We should get started, it may take a while to learn to ride them" Zueki says
Everyone agrees and we go to the water.
"Everyone get into your groups from yesterday" tsireya says, I walk to Zueki and he waves. We walk out further into the water. Zueki tells me about the ilus and I find one and make a bond with it.

"What are you going to name it?" Zueki asks
"I think I'm going to name her after my little sister" I say stroking her head
"What was your little sisters name?" He asks
"(Your Choice)" I respond smiling
"It's beautiful" he says placing a hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks" I say with a smile.

"Do you wanna go for ride?" He asks signaling for his ilu
"Sure why not" I respond and we hop on our ilus.

About 1 hour later
"Bye" I say to Zueki as I walk away from him back to the sandbank
"Bye hopefully I'll see you later"he says
"Yeah hopefully" I wave to him as he rides off.

Neteyam walks up to me
"Ooh someone has a crush y/n" he mocks Zuekis voice, horribly
"Shut up" I groan
"Nah it's fine, I know your pretty heart will only ever be filled with love for me" Neteyam jokes putting his hands over his heart. We laugh together.

"Oh! y/n follow me there's this place I want to show you that I found the other day" he says grabbing my hand and pulling me with him.
