The Moon's Gift (H2o Just Add Water Fan Fiction)

Darren The Glorious Jerk

Mirabelle gets to school at exactly 8:30am, and the parking lot is filled and buzzing with life. That was one thing you could give Aquagrove High, they had a knack for punctuality. Mirabelle was sure it was because of the school's principal, though she herself had never been on the receiving end of the woman's wrath, she heard the stories, and witnessed a few too. Needless to say, it was nothing to look forward to.

As Mirabelle puts her bike in the slot, she could feel a pair of eyes on her, and when she turns, she sees him looking intently at her. Darren Lockwood. Her worst nightmare, in all his male glory. He was dressed in a sky blue short sleeved button down shirt, which put his bulging biceps on full display, blue denim jeans, that had cuts on his thigh and knee, and white converses on. He was handsome, and Mirabelle hated that he affected her so much. He was leaning on his jeep, surrounded by his jock friends, and his arm around a certain brunette. Nobody else was paying attention to her, but he was, he always was, and she didn't understand why.

Her best guess was that he was thinking up new and colourful ways to torment her. Well too bad, from now on, she wasn't going to let him get away with bullying her. She was done being a pushover. With that thought in mind, she looks at him again, and finds that he is scrutinizing her outfit with a hard glare on his face. When their eyes meet, she shoots him the hardest glare she can muster. His eyes widen by a fraction in surprise, but then he begins to smirk devilishly at her. With that, she turns on her heels and walks away. ' not today Lockwood ' she thinks to herself.

When Mirabelle gets inside the school, she garners a bunch of looks from the present student body. Some were surprised, others impressed, some of disgust, while yet others not sure whether she was a new student or not. She couldn't blame them for staring, this was the first time she'd shown this much skin before, if at all, she'd been known for her sweatpants and baggy shirts combo, anything to hide her figure. Not anymore tho, this was the new her now, and she wasn't changing it for shit. They'd all better get used to it in time, one more than the others.

She gets to her locker, and punches in the code, opening it. As she brings out her books, she looks to the door and sees the very people she so desperately wanted a chance to talk to since yesterday. Emma, Rikki, and Cleo. Those were their names. Emma and Cleo, she already knew, but Rikki was the new girl whom she'd heard had put both Miriam and Antoinette to shame in public. The girl had guts and Mirabelle knew she would be learning a lot in her company, maybe get the confidence boost she so desperately needed. They were laughing at something Lewis had said, gaining the attention of the students around. Many were awed by them, and it was no wonder, each girl was stunning in their own right. One of the added perks of being a mermaid, flawless appearance.

She knew the blonde boys name because Cleo had mentioned it at the party. Yes, the party that Antoinette threw the day before.

Mirabelle had been there, and had seen everything unfold. When Zain and Nathan had thrown Cleo into the pool, she had wanted to go and help but thought better of it because of her secret. When she saw Cleo transform into a mermaid, she was as shocked as Lewis had been. Then she heard footsteps and went to hide so no one would see her. She had heard Emma and Rikki confess, and had seen them use their powers. Mirabelle had been so stunned that even after they left, she stood there literally gaping, until Darren had found her and not so politely asked her to leave. Needles to say, she didn't need to be told twice. The only reason she was at the party, was because she was bored, but how glad she was that she came.

The next thing on mirabelle's agenda was how to approach them. She couldn't just walk up to them and say " hey, I'm a mermaid and I know you are too, so let's be friends forever " she could only imagine how that will end. She had to think of something, the perfect time and place for the big reveal.
