CHAPTER FOUR: THE WARNING

"We were awesome yesterday, Tooth!" Sam patted on the girl's back as he came across her in the hallway

"Yeah, we all were." Tooth replied and then the boy left

"Thiana!" Alexa yelled, coming up to Tooth with her twin, "You're super great! Thank you for the help! It was the class' first time."

"Yeah, not bad, Tooth." Alexander added

"It was for the class." Tooth smiled

"Tooth, you were great yesterday. Are you planning to go here next year?" Cimanella asked

"I think so."

"Good! The class needs people like you." then he left

"Someone's getting popular. Nice one, Thiana." Mari said as she strolled by

"Hey, Tooth. I'm really sorry. I did not know what arrow hit you but I'm certain it's not poisonous. Are you feeling right?" Ashton asked worriedly

"No I'm fine. I don't think it made some effect on me." Tooth shrugged

"Good. See you later, Toothiana."

"Hey bird girl."

"Oh hey, Jack." Tooth replied effortlessly

She started walking to her classroom with Jack behind her.

"Well you've got yourself pretty well known." Jack commented

"And you've got a good mood today, what's with that?" Tooth asked

"So what happened to the thing you did last night?" Jack asked

"Why have you gotten so interested in me?" Tooth answered

"You're not answering anything, Tooth." Jack deadpanned

"Why should I?" Tooth asked then pushed the door to their room, only to bump into her classmates

"Hey guys, what's going on?" Jack asked

"See for yourself." Someone answered

Tooth and Jack went to the front of the crowd and saw what they were staring at. There on the wall, were writings in red paint, or possibly blood.

"Hey losers of class freak, since you're all so good with your Foothiana and your Jackie boy, why don't we all have a brawl. At the same ocean, same time, one week from now. No materials, no armors, just powers. Let's see if you'd still be good at the end, or even alive. Sincerely, your adoring fans, the class A mermaids."

"What? This is outrageous!" Tooth retorted, "We could actually get killed by this."

"Tooth, we've got this. We have you." Jack said to her

"But, Jack, mermaids make potions. They can make potions to protect their weak spots and that is not considered armor." Tooth looked worried

"Hey Tooth, we've got everybody to count on. Am I right, class?" Mari shouted

The class shouted back in pure enthusiasm.

"Dude, this has been happening for years now! And we were never confident. Now is not the time to forfeit." Sam stated

"Yes, and according to my calculations, we've got a seventy-three point one four one six percent chance of actually winning." Yolly inputted

"But we've only got one actual water elemental." Tooth muttered

Actually two.

"So? We don't need elementals, Tooth. We need teamwork." Alexa stated, "Am I right, team?"
