"Imagine every time you touched water, even a drop of water! You would instantly turn into a mermaid" well that's what Amathaunta better known as Ama (Ema) has to deal with every day of her life. Struggling with high school is one thing, but also ke...

(At school)
Whilst opening my locker a hand slams it shut. Not a angry slam. A weak slam.
It's Alex.
"I'm so sorry Ama..."
"No it's my fault for running away and ignoring you."
"No."
"No?"
"I'm sorry for your loss..."
"What?" I laugh like a small anxious laugh. "You must be thinking of someone else? I haven't lost anyone."
"Carley's dead."
"That's bull sh*t, if your thinking of scaring me it's not working"
"I'm not playing games" Alex hesitates. "She killed her self."
I can't think, Carley can't be dead. She is smart and beautiful and everyone loves her. How can someone so perfect even think of ending it all.

I've ran away from Alex last time I saw him. And I'm sorry for that. But I'm doing it again.
All I can do is run. It's like my heart and lungs no longer exist. And I'm running, running. Can't stop running.
I can't seem to cry. My emotions are so muddled up.
