 Gale's P.O.V

     I was walking home with my head down. Vanessa rejected me. I dont know why i was like this, when this does happen I usually just bounce back. For some reason I couldnt get her out of my head. I looked at the time. It was around six fifty, it was a saturday. I sighed, spring break was over and school started on monday. "Nothing's more fun than six hours of pure torture" I thought sarcastically.

    I turned on my street and then walked into my house. It wasnt anything special, one story, three bedroom, one bath. My mom, my older sister cairre, and I each got our own room. I didnt see my dad often, he probley was  on another "buissness trip" when he acually was with some chick in  figi or something. My mom and sister know too. I try to convince my mom to get a divorce but she dosent listen. She always says that if she gets a divorce than we would have no food or no place to live, but I know deep down she still loves him, she just wont admit it.

     My room is pretty simple, a bed, shelves, desk. Nothing special. I collapsed on my bed, trying to go to sleep. There was something weird about vanessa. Like for example, I was walking her home and some sprinklers went on on a lawn and she ran across the street. When I asked her about it she just said, "I just didnt want to get wet" and then changed the subject. Do girls usually do that? I am not sure. When it comes to girls I am kind of clueless. After that thought I fell asleep, only to have the strangest dream,

       I was in the middle of the ocean, I then panicked because I wasnt a good swimmer, but I was floating just fine. I looked around. It was so peaceful, the was setting and the water was like glass. There was a ripple in the water and a fin. My mind came to a conclusion, "shark. Straight adrenilene pumped through my veins. I tried to swim away but I was stuck in that place. I started hypervenilating. A head then popped up next to me. It was vanessa. She smiled but I saw the fin behind her so i tried to warn her but i couldnt speak.  I looked through the water and saw that her legs werew not legs anymore, there was a fin. I looked at her and stutteered, " m-m-mer-maid, your a m-mermaid", After that it all went black.
