My TEENAGE MERMAID

Chapter 1 [ Dream ]

Chapter 1

"Once upon a time there was a little mermaid named Ariel. She was the youngest daughter of the king of the sea, King Triton, but she was always dreaming of what life could be like on land" A mid-thirty woman said while glancing to me and back to the book she's been reading with a smile on her face that made me smile too. She had the same blue eyes like me but it turns into gray when she's upset and I don't like when her eyes turn gray. I like her blue eyes rather than her gray.

"Ariel loved everything to do with the world above. She had a huge collection of things that had fallen off of the humans boats into the ocean and trinckets that had gone down with sinking ship." she continue. A knocked on my huge wooden door disrupted us. The door soon open revealing a man on his mid-thirty. His wearing his typhical suit, seems like his just done on his work. He had this smile that glued on his face when he see us. His dark brown eyes turned light whenever he's smiling or happy, and a blonde hair that I got to him. Mom had a black hair like Dada, my grandfather.

"Hey sweetie" he said and bend over to me as he kiss my cheeks. I giggle as a felt his lips against my cheeks. He turns to the woman beside him. "Hello hun" he said as he kiss her on her lips.

"Ewww! That's grosssssss!" I said interrupting them and I fake puking in front of them.

I heard a giggling sounds from both of them. I pout and narrowed my eyebrows. "Stop laughing mom! Dad!" I whined

"I'm sorry sweetie" Dad picked me up and nuzzled his nose on my neck. I laughed hard, Daddy's always knew were my ticklish spot is. Mommy laugh at how cute 'her words' we were on her sight.

"Hun put the princess back on her bed" mommy said. I looked at mommy and asked what about the story?

"It's late now sweetie" said daddy that made me frowned, they both knew I like this story. They both knew that I like this Disney story. Is it not pretty obvious on my room? It's full of Disney princess but it's more on Ariel stuff even my bed and pillows were covered of Ariel and her friends Flounder and Sebastian. The walls is colored by purple with a bluish touch that looks like the colour of a mermaid tail. So why they want me to go to sleep now. The Little Mermaid is like my sleeping pills, it's what dada said.

"Hey sweetie don't frown. What about we watch you tomorrow for your swimming competition? Sounds good, eh?" my eyes get wider at the thoughts of them watching me to compete tomorrow. I abruptly looked at them "You'll both watch me tomorrow?" I asked onced again it still not syncing on my brain tho.

"It's what your Daddy said, isn't he?" mom respond while smiling. I squeaked and jumped on my bed because of excitement. This is their first time watching me to compete on swimming. Oh my Gosh I can't wait for tomorrow.

"Now go and sleep now princess" mommy said I nodded and say goodnight to both of them after giving them a goodnight kiss on their cheeks.

I woke up feeling a tears on my eyes that flew down on my cheeks. I stretched my arm on the air like I'm going to reach the ceiling. It's my daily routine since then. This only proved that I'm still alive. I put down my arm and rested it on my belly while my other arm is on my face covering my left eye. That dream again huh? I thought. I looked at the digital clock beside on my bed it's 11:15 am it's said. I sleep late last night so no wonder why I woke up early in the afternoon and else thanks on the maroon curtains that penetrate the sun rays on my room plus the air-con. I stepped out on my bed and proceed to go to the bathroom. I took a ten minutes to wash my body. After cleaning myself I wore my usual colour dress code a black tank top pairing with my tight jeans and a combat boots. I put some light make up on my face then I pony my hair on a tight ponytail. I grab my backpack and my phone that lay on the leather couch besides on my huge bookshelves.

As I walked on the downstairs I saw an old man sitting on the soft couch in our living room. Why he is here? I thought. I make my step a bit louder just enough for him to notice my presence. As I predicted he looked on my direction with a smile that always glued on his face. I rolled my eyes and walked headed to his front.

"Why are you here Dada?" I repeated what I just asked to myself awhile ago.

"Well Good morning to you too my Queen" Dada said still smiling even I gave him my now usual cold shoulder. He instructed me to sit down, so I did. Suddenly his phone on his pocket vibrate. He looked at me giving me a look of give me a minute. I sighed and nodded to him. He walked not far away from me as he answered his phone. This give me a chance to studied him. Dada is a big guy like Dad he stood at 5'11 while mom is a tall woman too but not enough to reach Dad and Dada's height she stood at 5'9. His black hair is turning white at the top of his head that you can see it from far. He's wearing a light blue long-sleeved and a black pants pairing with his brown shoes. His eyes were exactly the same like mine. Dada's still the same like before but except on his hair, I thought . I leaned my head on the couch and put my right leg over my left leg. I closed my eyes and wait till Dada's done talking on his phone.

After in a few minutes I felt someone sat beside on me. I opened my eyes and looked at Dada. I can tell something's bad happened base on his emotion. He look sad, the thought that happened a few years ago came back on my mind. This is my second time I saw him like this. "Dada what happened?" I asked resting my hand on his shoulder. He sigh before he looked at me. He smiled at me but I knew it's a fake one. Whenever he smile it can reach his eyes but this one is not.

"Nothing my Queen" he said I arched my eyebrow not really convinced on his word. Why he's lying on me? I asked myself. "Don't worry Queen it's nothing serious" he assured me but still I wasn't convinced. I nodded and gave Dada a side hug. I know there's something wrong with him after the call but I wish it's not serious like what Dada said.
