Her point of View
Flashback
Humans.
I see them with joy and fun in their eyes, I always thought they we're scary and as father always said that they're laughing to attract mermaids, he said humans were dangerous....I saw a boy today looking at the water as if he was looking at me , but I know he can't see me because I realize he's looking at the rock near me.
The way he looked wasn't so dangerous for me,
Innocent is the wordI didn't realize that I was getting nearer until he widened his eyes,
He spoke "Wow, you have such pretty eyes!" He giggled
"You're such a good swimmer" he added
"Come here" he motioned his hands
I didn't speak and turned away but I glanced at his energetic smile that I couldn't resist
I went beside him and I thought he would get shocked but instead he just said
"You have a tail! That's so cool well I wish I was born most of the other people and my classmates though have feet" he pointed at my tail
There was a moment of silence
"Wait, you're no human, you are a mermaid! Like the one in Peter Pan" he was on a thinking position and then suddenly he clapped his hands one time
"Why are you not saying anything? , I thought mermaids can talk" he scratch his head
"I can" I said with a low voice
"Woah your voice is amazing" his smile became wider and brighter
"That's enough compliments" I said in a bratty way and look, his smile was slowly fading " Cuz it's your turn to be complimented!" I winked "Your hair color is so different from other humans, it's so good it has yellow and light, dark brown and normal brown" I pointed at his hair
"Thanks" he touched his head and then looked away
"What's your name?" I asked him, he is so interesting ..... In a way, he's not violent or dangerous he's... So nice
"Umm my name is Nathan Evan Hudson" said without a tone with a poker face
"I'll call you Nathan" I pointed at him
"But people call me Evan" he pointed his two little thumbs to himself
"I want to be the only one to call you Ethan" I put my hands together and then grinned
"Ohhhh," he then looked down and kicked the water
"Do Not tell anyone except your parents that you saw me okay?" I furrowed my eyebrows at him
"Yes..... What is your name?" He looked at me for a moment then he spoke
"Coralia Floralia Jewel" I offered my hand, "You can call me Lia"I added ,I smiled at him then we shook hands
"Ok, wait it's time for dinner , Good bye Mer-Lia" he rushed to his house
"Let's meet tomorrow ok? Same place and time!" I shouted and waved
---------------------
"Don't forget about me okay?" I sobbed"I won't you ,crybaby" he said with sparkling eyes
"Next time you'll come , let us race" I tried to become competitive
"I will promise that I will see you no matter what and I will learn how to swim" he tried to genuinely smile
