Two Mermaids and One Direction

Chapter X

Emily's POV

Last night was fun, but when Britt got to the part of her date about it raining, Cassie and her both started acting weird. Like their was some secret they were keeping from me.

Weird...

Cassie's POV

When Brittany said it started raining, I immediately started freaking out. I might've been hyperventilating if it weren't for Emily being there.

The next morning she told me all about what happened

"... and I tried to run but he was to fast for me. Before I knew it I had fallen to the ground with a tail and top replacing my dress. All Louis could do was gape...", she ranted on.

"What did you tell him?" I asked fearfully.

"I told him how I had turned at 14 and I didn't know which one or if both of my parents were mermaids or mermen. How we had about 10 to 20 seconds before we transformed. How we could control the elements and talk to mammals of the sea: whales, dolphins, you know. How we could hold our breath for extreme amounts of time and go to deeper places in the ocean than a human and swim at miraculous speeds. How water made us stronger and healed us faster..." she explained

"So basically everything?" I asked incredulously.

"Umm yeah... pretty much" she said looking down. "But he won't tell anyone! I swear! I made sure of it by threatening to burn him alive if he did..." she said with a small smile.

"Aww, look at you! Threatening people! I'm really starting to rub off on you, aren't I?" I smiled and laughed "but wait, did you tell him I was a mermaid, too?" I questioned worriedly.

"Well he asked if there were anymore mermaids, and I said of course there were more I just didn't know any", she said.

I was relieved until she said "but I'm not a very good liar so I'm not sure if he believed me"

"Great!", I yelled sarcastically. "Now I have to be even MORE alert around water than I already am if I don't want him to find out!"

"Ugh, lovely, just great, perfect", I rambled on.

We were all chilling at my house. We were on the back deck with a perfect view of the ocean. I was grilling steaks while Britt sat by Louis and Em sat by Niall on the couch, and Zayn sat on one chair and Harry sat on another chair that was by the grill.

Liam wasn't here yet- he said he had to go get something or- someone.

"I wonder who this mystery person Liam's bringing with him is?" Emily asked. The rest of the boys had taken a liking to her.

Speak of the devil; Liam came out back leading a girl behind him.

She had naturally dark looking skin with an olive complexion. Her light brown hair was flat and board strait and came just below her shoulders. Her eyes were a a pretty hazel color that seemed to stare into your soul. Her small lips curved slightly upwards. She was average height with a few curves she did not show off. She wore an old pair of cut off jeans, turned into shorts and an orange t-shirt with some old tan sandals. Did she have any fashion sense?!

Well she was nothing special but Liam seemed to like her so we did too.

"This is Lynn Young. She's 16 and my new girlfriend" he said smiling

Wow she's young, was the first thing I thought. I'll be going into my first year of college next year; she'll only be a junior in high school! Britt and Em will be seniors.

"Cassie Widimer, I'm 18", I said.

"Brittany Obregon, 17"

"Emily Pearson, I'm also 17"

"Harry Styles 19"

Niall Horan, I'm 19"

"Zayn Malik, 20"

"Louis Tomlinson, I'm the oldest-21!"

"He also acts the youngest", I giggled.

We all smiled warmly at her but I couldn't help but think of Lily- my best friend, who should be grilling with me and sleeping over and staying up all night with Britt and Em and I. Who should be helping to keep Brittany and I's secret...

 Zayn's POV

I was walking down the street, kicking rocks, hands in my pocket, looking down at the ground.

Everybody seemed to be in love, ugh. Brit with Lou, Em with Niall, Liam with this new girl- Darla, and I can tell Harry and Cassie like each other, even if they won't admit it. God, he needs to ask her out already... but what about me? I guess I'll always be a... 9th...? wheel...

I looked up when I bumped into someone- a girl, a beautiful girl.

She had curly, dark brown hair with red highlights. Her hair came to the middle of her rib cage. She had olive skin and bright hazel eyes. She was wearing camo capris, camo hunting boots, a camo jacket rolled up to her elbows and her hair was in a low ponytail.

She had just slammed the back of her truck shut and inside I could see a dead buck, some dead squirrels, and a dead rabbit. It looked like she had just come back from hunting in the woods nearby.

"Oh sorry, I didn't see you there"' she smiled at me

"Oh no, it's my fault;I wasn't paying attention to where I was going" I rushed out.

"I'm Taylor Pinacaso, and you are?" she raised her eyebrows at me.

"Zayn, Zayn Malik", I stumbled over my words. "How old are you?" I asked her.

"17, how old are you?" She replied.

"I'm 20", I said, still staring at her.

"Well, uh, I gotta go, but, um, here's my number" she said, handing me a piece of paper "Call me sometime" she said getting in her truck.

I blinked a few times

"Yeah! Okay! I will!", I yelled but she was already too far away to here me.
