                                  Vanessa's P.O.V

                It's sunday, which means one thing. Tomarrow is monday, I HATE MONDAYS! Sighing I sat up from my bed and checked the clock. It was 10:43, still too early to wake up. I was going to go back to sleep but I smelled breakfast, my stomach growled. I slowley got up and headed downstairs. My family was sitting at the table. My dad looked up from his newspaper when I entered the room. 

              "Want to do anything today nessa?" He asked with a hopeful smile on his face. I havent talked to him very much since we moved here.

            "Yeah, move back home" I spat back ignoring the looks on my parents looks.

           "This is our home now" my dad said looking at me.

             "It might be for you, but it will never will for me" I wasn't hungry anymore. I walked backed upstairs and laid on my bed trying to go back to sleep. I couldn't, I kept thinking about how much my life has changed in such a short amount of time. I moved to L.A, met an awesome guy but I cant be with him because I don't if he actually like's me for me or if he likes me because of my charm, and i am also a freaking MERMAID! I think being a mermaid is pretty cool, but the baggage that comes with it is what pisses me off, the power is pretty sick though. When I go outside I basically cant touch anything because if I do I will grow a tail, do you know how hard it is not being able to touch water. I cant even get something to drink. I have to look out for pervs because of my stupid 'charm'. Why couldn't I have that charm when I was asking out my crush in Hawaii. My legs were aching right now, I needed to swim. 

             "I am going to the beach" I thought. I put on my swim suit and threw all the essentials into my favorite bag. Towel? Check. Sunscreen? check. Pepper-spray? check (Don't ask). I grabbed enough money for a taxi and ran down stairs.

            "I am going out!" I shouted then shut the door before they could bother me with questions. I called a taxi, It was there in minutes.

           "Where to?" the driver asked.

           "Venice beach" I replied.

          "you have enogh money for it?" 

           I pulled out the wad a cash from my pocket and smirked " I think I do. The guy's eyes widened before he took of towards the beach.
