Anyway let's get back to this day and age. So I'm sixteen years old and I live in a cave in a small mertown under the sea with my father and my two sisters. I have one older sister and her name is Summer, she's nineteen years old. My little cousin lives with us too, her name is Autumn and she is twelve years old. My dad has raised Autumn since she was little so we see her as a sister, my auntie abandoned her when she was born but father would never tell us why..
I feel sorry for my father sometimes, he's stuck in our cave with three bickering, angry, hormonal, excitable merteens. It must be tough.
It was a bright and early new day on the reef, all merfolk and fish were swimming around carrying on with their usual business, while father set us all down for a chat.
"Now girls, a sad day is slowly approaching" He said hanging his head in shame, me and my sisters stared at each other confusingly.
"What is it daddy?" Autumn asked, his head shot up quickly and he looked at her.
"The day your mother died is coming around. And on this day I don't want any of you going out or swimming off. I want us all here to mourn together, okay?" Father said bluntly, we all nodded quickly.
"Ugh great, that's me stuck in all day" Summer mumbled to herself, I looked up at her angrily.
"Are you kidding Summer? Mum's death day is soon and you don't even give a toss" I said angrily while rolling my eyes.
"We shouldn't be hiding in the cave crying all day, that's what I'm saying" Summer huffed as she swam out the front door, I folded my arms in anger.
Summer is nothing like anyone in our family. She likes to do things her way and her way only, it's quite annoying if you ask me. She looks a lot like mum when she was Summers age, father showed us pictures of them on their first ever date.. It looks like Summer, exactly. They both have the same long dark brown hair and silver tail.
We all have our mum's freckles, especially Autumn. It's really cute. Autumn also has brown hair and a silver tail, but her hair is very short.
As for me, my hair is incredibly long and pink. Yes.. Pink. I've always looked different from everyone in my family and everyone on the reef. Sometimes I wonder if I'm even from this family. But my tail is also silver, just like fathers too.
- Summer's POV -
I'm sick of my father bossing me around, I know that's what fathers do. But I'm nineteen years old now and I should be aloud to make up my own decisions.
I sat at the very edge of the reef, looking out at the open seas. I felt upset and angry at the same time.. Which is weird.
"Hey" A low voice said behind me, I jumped up from the sea plant I was sitting on and turned around. It was a hot merman!!!!
"Oh hello" I said while putting on my best flirty face, he looked uncomfortable.
"Uh, why are you sitting out here alone?" He asked while swimming closer, I sighed.
"I don't know, I'm just really tired of being bossed around" I mumbled, his eyes widened.
"Me too! My mother won't let me do anything, it's quite annoying" He said with a slight laugh to his voice.
"Same! My father treats me like a baby when I'm really an adult" I whined, he agreed and we laughed together.
"Do you wanna go out sometime?" He said quietly a moment later, I looked up at him in shock.
"Sure!! I mean, okay" Play it cool Summer..
"Okay, I'll see you on Sunday at lunch time.. Here?" He said, I nodded quickly.
"It's a date!"
