Picture above is Alicia in mermaid form.
I wake up the next day to 5 new texts.
I read a group that's Zach, unknown number (probably Alicia) and me.
Unknown number-Hey it Alicia.
Zach-Hey.
Alicia-I found something. Meet at beach at 10?
Zach-👍🏻
I text back on the group saying Okay.
I look at the other texts.
Chris💕-Everything OK?
I don't respond to Chris. Instead I check the time.
9:30.
Shoot.
I shoot up and look in my closet on what to wear.
(Outfit shown below. I'm too lazy to describe Lol)

I tell my mom I'm going to hang out with friends and head out the door

I tell my mom I'm going to hang out with friends and head out the door. I haven't told her anything yet. It's too soon.
Just as I'm about to leave, Emily comes up to me.
"Where ya goin?".
"With some friends".
"Can I join?"
"No" I say as walking out and slamming the door in her face.
"I'll find out what your doing!" she yells after me.
I'm running now.

I finally reach the beach where I see Zach and Al already.
"Took you long enough" Zach mumbles.
Al slaps him on the shoulder.
"Sorry, I woke up late".
"No shįt".
I roll my eyes at Zach.
He walks off and I'm guess we should follow.
"He's grumpy because of his mom" she says when Zach is a distance ahead of us.
"What with his mom?" I ask.
Before she could answer, Zach yells for us to hurry.
When we catch up to Zach, we duck into a cave.
"So, what did you find?" I ask.
"That when the 'others' were wiped out, not all of them were wiped out. They sent them to prison. But In a nuclear war in 1810, everyone got distracted and next thing you knew, BOOM, everyone in the prison is gone".
"So that mean..."
"That means, they reproduced, and came back to mermaid population".
"So why didn't they kill them again?".
"Ah! Now that's the good part!".
Zack and I cock our heads.
"Go on..".
"Now, because of so many others, it's hard to tell which is which. And they can't just kill everyone right? So the others are completely safe right?".
We stare blankly at her.
"Wrong! Because of new technology, they are making a system where it will scan you, and it will tell you if your an other or not".
"When will this system be made?".
"6 months or so".
My heart drops.
If Chris is a other..he's going to be killed..
Gulp.
