I'm not really sure on much about my mermaid history but I do know this.

I think my mom was a mermaid. She never did the dishes or went swimming, and we always only had bottled water in the house. If she touched water, she'd make a mad dash for the bathroom.

I was in the kitchen cooking dinner with Daddy one day when Mommy walked in. I had to be only 4 or 5.

"Mommy! You're home!"

"Hey sweetie!"

All of a sudden my dad turned on the kitchen sink and water sprayed everywhere. THe water droplets hit my mom and she quickly made eye contact with my Dad, speaking without words.

Then, she made a run towards the bathroom.

Five minutes later she walked back in looking perfectly fine.

Any who, I am a level 6 mermaid. As teenagers, we must train for trust, ability, and strength. There are 10 levels. You gain something almost every level. So far I have the power to control the element of water- to move water, boil water, and freeze water. I can even speak to most aquatic animals and some land animals.

I found an old book of my mother's when she died. It had all the mermaid level challenges that I must fulfill. Some are easy, some are hard. Whatever.

So about my situation...

In about five minutes I am dry and have legs. I guess I dried off whle daydreaming, no need to do it myself. I search around for my phone. "Shit" I curse.

"That's a stupid picture Zayn"

"Shut up Harry"

"Seriously guys?!"

"Hand it to me!"

I hated them snapping photos and clicking buttons. I ran over to them. "Give me THAT!" I yell when I see my phone being fought over.

"We were just putting ourselves in your contacts." Niall stated.

"Yea, but you should change your pass code. One, two, three, four catches on easily." Louis smirked.

"What was going on in the back?" Liam asked.

Shit. 'Oh um, I turned into a purple mermaid and fell down after Frankie spilled water on me!' Um, no. That probably wouldn't sound too good.

"Asthma attack!" I yelled to suddenly and too loudly. I don't even have freaking asthma. But I did see Niall's concern after I said that...

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"Just dandy." I said, although I felt far from dandy.

Lou was smiling like an obnoxious idiot over there. The boys exchanged glances, not looking happy.

What the fuck?

"Hello-o? Tension rising or is it just me?" I asked, waving my arms.

"Let's play a game," Louis said slowly, smiling creepily. I looked around.

"What game?" Zayn asked, looking suspicious.

"Find out Brittany's secret." He blurted out. That's when he brabbed a water bottle and dumped it's contents on head.

"Shit Louis!" I yelled. I sprinted to the supply closet in the corner.

My tail emerged. I locked the doors, and I heard Louis laugh evilly while the rest just giggled outside. I did the only thing I do when I'm frustrated.

I cried.

"Gracie, Mommy, Daddy..." 

I cried because I'm embarrassed, because I'm angry. I'm a mermaid, and because of it I can't be normal.

But I mostly just wanted my family here.

"You guys! See what you did!" Someone yelled.

I heard someone- probably the same person walk over here.

"Brittany?" I heard Niall say softly.

"What?!" I said with venom lacing my voice.

"Please come out."

"Why, so you can dump more water on me?" I said in the same tone.

"Of course not. Rght boys?" Niall said, although I didn't think he was talking to me anymore.

"Fine."

I quickly dried myself off using my powers and stepped out of the supply closet.
