Matt's POV

Ok. She said she doesn't sing a lot. Maybe she's safe. I really hope so, because I'm really starting to have feelings for this girl. Or, not exactly girl, more like... mergirl.

She was so fun to be around. The second time I saw her I came home in a good mood. When she got excited about something, she'd jump around with her tale and do backflips, while squealing "wheeeeeeee!!!"

I want to see her again. But I can't. Because tomorrow, I have to start school. But not just any school, a new school. Where I didn't know anyone.

When I went and saw Athena, she asked me if I wanted to come again. I wanted to, but I told her I couldn't.

"Why?" she asked.

"Because I have to start school tomorrow." I replied.

"Oh... like that place you told me about? Where you go and learn stuff, and how much it.... tortures you?" She asked.

"Well, I was sorta exaggerating about the torturing part. It's not always so bad. You meet a ton of your friends there."

But it hurt to think about the friends I once had, but had to leave.

"But..." Athena started to say. "Your friends are back where you used to live... aren't they?"

"Umm.... yeah." I replied. "That's why I'm not too excited to go tomorrow."

She suddenly set her had on my wrist. It made me jump a little, remembering the dream. But this was gentle, and soft, not sharp and painful like what I remember from the dream.

"Everything will be ok." She said.

Her words were short, but powerful. She said them while looking me straight in the eyes, with her big, bright blue eyes. They definitely didn't have a normal color, but they were mesmerizing...

Suddenly I knew everything would be ok. Don't ask me why, because my only answer will be "a mermaid told me."

****************************************

I couldn't stop thinking about Athena that night. She was constantly in my mind now. Mom would ask me something and I wouldn't be paying attention, because I was thinking about her. Mom thought I was crazy the last two days.

I lay awake in bed thinking about her. She still seemed like a dream. She's just.... a wonder.

The sea was pulling me like a magnet. It was like it was drawing me closer and closer, and the closer, and the more I walked the more I wanted it.

The tide came in gently over my feet. The cold water felt amazing. I went in deeper. And deeper. Deeper until I could duck my head under and swim.

The sea was magical. So much beauty everywhere you turn. I felt free. Suddenly I saw her.

She swam up to me with her long, beautiful tale. Her brown hair swirled around her in the water. She held on to my wrist an started to swim with me. We went deeper into the sea. Everything was 10 times more amazing with her. I wanted to stay.... stay in the sea forever.... till I die....
