My name is Allison Clay and I am a 14 year old mermaid. I wouldn't say that I'm popular, more like... adopted by a very famous boy band. One Direction. Yes, the British/Irish boy band. I go to school like any other teenage girl, but I'm not very liked. That is, until I was adopted a month ago...

ONE MONTH EARLIER...

"Today is your lucky day!" said Niall, looking at me with a bright smile,"Your getting adopted!"

Louis walks in with a stack of paperwork. "Lucky," he said, "You will be her official guardian." Niall had a giant smile on his face.

"Yea! we will have so much fun, Allison!" I hope, I said mentally. Niall Hops off of my orphanage bed. "See you in a minute, Ally!" he said and walked out of the door with Louis.

Ally is what my mom used to call me. I try to hold back my tears. I will not cry, I told myself. No, no, no.

Harry strides into my room and stops at the edge of my bed. "You alright, love?" I like it when he called me love.

He hops onto my bed and holds me close. I can't hold them in any longer. My face overflowed with tears. "Shhh, it's okay, don't worry, Allison, Shhh." He held me close to his chest as I cry my freaking eyes out. I'm probably staining his shirt with my salty tears. "Harrehh! Where-" Niall said before coming in.

"Shhh, Niall!" Harry said, holding his hand out.

"We have the paperwork filled out, can you carry her to the car?" he said, sounding tired.

"Sure, Where's Louis?"

"RIGHT HERE!!" Louis pops his head in the doorway.

"SHHH, Louis!" Sorry, Louis mouths. Harry picks me up and carries me out to the car. Soon, I was fast asleep...

AFTER THE CAR RIDE...

I woke up in a soft bed. My orphan bed was very hard so this felt like heaven. Someone knocks on the door. Niall.

"Come in" I say. He walks in and sits on my bed. "Do you like your new room?" he asked holding his arms out dramatically. I haven't even noticed the room I was in.

"Go ahead, explore." I start with the mirror and desk. I found a small note taped to the mirror. 'From Zayn, with love.' How sweet!

I found a brush and a whole make up bag with all sorts of things in it. "Wow, this- I love it!" I said, almost squealing with joy. Across the room were some instruments. A guitar and a piano. There was also a small note stuck in between the guitar strings. 'From Niall, Rock out!' I guess I will have to call him dad. I laugh at the thought.

"Thank you, Niall. How did you know I could play?" I ask. He shrugged, "Lucky guess?"

Next, there was a closet. I opened it and looked in. It's a walk in closet, full of new clothes! On the door, I found a third note. 'From Harry, Looking good!' And I read the bottom. 'P.S., look under your bed!' So I did.

A laptop, how thoughtful!! On the far side of the room, pointing towards the bed is a flat screen Tv. Another note tapped on the Tv read, 'From Louis and Kevin, be yourself.' These boys are so sweet!

I also find a stuffed tiger on my bed (also from Louis) And finally I check out my night stand. A lamp, a clock, and... An iPhone! I open the last note tapped on the phone. 'From Liam, We love you!' That was my Favorite. I never thought I would be loved again... thank you, Liam!

"You guys are so thoughtful!" I hug Niall and he hugs me back. He stands up and salutes me. "Just doing my job, captain!" I laugh, and he chuckles.
