Emma:

It's Sunday I decided to swim at the ocean today I lay out my beach bag and towel. I dive into the water to practice for swimming regionals.  Something weird starts to happens.

I feel all tingly. I look down at my body only to see a tail. I big scaly tail. I must be dreaming.

I text Cleo and the same thing happened to her and Rikki. In the group chat we made. Rikki kept making this joke that we are mermaid's. I told her that it wasn't funny

Later we meet at Cleo's house. Talking over each other about what happened to us. Then Rikki makes the same joke.

Rikki-" we look like mermaids."

Emma-" I've I told you before your not funny mermaids don't exist that's just to weird" I say.

Our friend Lewis knocks on the door Cleo quickly shut that down, but asks about mermaids, me and Rikki glare at her.

I explained to Cleo that she's not taking this seriously. I feel Rikki looking at me. Actually staring, she's not even hiding it.

It could just be in my head but as I continue to talk, I'm glancing back at her making eye contact. But out of the corner of my eye as I say.

Emma-" look some thing very strange has happened to us. We don't know how and we don't know why."

I can see Rikki smirking softly out of the corner of my eye.

Rikki-" any volunteers"

Part of me seeing Rikki as rebel everything that I'm not. But at the same time comforting. It's odd that I feel this way in the short amount of time that I've know Rikki. She makes me smile and have feelings that I've never felt.

Rikki and I go to the beach together. On the way there we stop by my house to get swimming clothes.

Rikki-" Oh I don't have anything on me"

Emma- " That's ok you can borrow one of mine" here".

I give Rikki one of my pink bathing suits paired with black bottoms. She doesn't seem like a pink girly type of girl.

I do this just piss her off.

Rikki-" Thanks". She rolls her eyes and smiles.

Emma-"no problem"

Rikki-" so uh I guess I'll go to the bathroom then"

Emma-" why"

Rikki-" to change?"

Emma-" oh..right. Well you do that I'll just change in my room."

A few minutes go by and Rikki knocks at the door.

Rikki- "can I come in?"

Emma-"yeah" I yell back.

As she opens the door I try my hardest to stop myself from staring.

Rikki-" ta-da!"

Emma-"Wow it looks great on you"

Rikki-" really?"

Emma "Yeah. I want you to have it"

Rikki- "why"

Emma- "it looks better on you then it did me"

For a moment there was an awkward pause between us.

Rikki-"So uh.. I guess we better go to the beach."

Emma-" yeah you're right"

We talk on this big rock. Rikki is confident in going into the water. I just go with it. On the way into the water.

Rikki puts her hand in mine. I hold it back tightly. Hopefully not to the point where she'll notice.

Rikki-" about ten seconds right?"

Rikki-" about ten seconds right?"

Emma-"Yep"

I look deeply into her eyes. I see a side of Rikki that I've never seen before..soft and comforting.
"1234..5"

We both turn into mermaids. We fall flat onto are stomachs. For a moment it felt like time was frozen Rikki smiles at me  and I smile back.

Butterflies filled my stomach apart of me wonders. Does she feel the same? What is this feeling I'm having?
