FISH

chapter
two
"Jessie?" I said
knocking impatiently on her house door.
"Hi Annie! How are this fine day?" Jessie's mum
said to me, looking quite annoyed by all the banging I was doing
on their front door.
"Fine, thanks, Mrs Arnolds! Is Jessie in? I need to speak to
her urgently!"
"Yea, she's upstairs doing some homework, should you not
being doing you art homework too?"
"Um, well this is kind of urgent and well, I just really
needed to have a quick chat with Jessie"
I was very annoyed with Jessie's mum right then. I get
annoyed easily. It's annoying. And so was that.
I sprinted up the stairs skipping a few steps along the way, ran
into Jessie's room and shouted "You'll never guess
what, happened to me yesterday!"
"You drowned?" she said sarcastically.
"Okay you got me." I said playing along
"Wow I was only guessing! I'm soooo proud of
myself."
"Okay well, you know the way I told you like last week about
my plan to get James to fall for me? Well I did it and it sort of
worked."
"Oh my word tell me all about it!"
I told Jessie the story and the drowning with expression and
slightly exaggerated, just a little. I told her about what I saw
down there.
"A mermaid?"
"That's the word I was looking for!"
"I doubt you actually saw a mermaid that strangely looked
like your mum, that's just crazy! I know we are best friends
and supposed to trust eachother but I need proof."
"Well I didn't exactly bring a camera with me in my
dramatic 'fall from the boat' incident."
"That's actually not a bad idea! Do you have a
waterproof camera? Because we could just go now and take pictures
if we see anything!"
"Sure!"
"But first you need a shower Miss Annie!" Jessie said
holding her nose and waving her hand up and down,"Did you
not get a bath or shower after your time in the sea?"
"No" I said embarrassed.
"It's okay you can use mine."
I undressed in her bathroom and turned on the warm hot shower. As
soon as the first drop of water hit my long red hair (adapted
from my dad's curly red head), I saw mum in the steam rising
from the water. She looked just like the mermaid I saw in the
sea. Only, in the sea I did not sea her like this, but in the
human/fish form. Maybe in the sea I can't see mum the way I
can in tap water. Maybe it's just in tap water because every
time I take a shower or bath this happens, I see her. I
haven't told anyone about it but I feel complete when I see
her.
I picked up the shampoo and slapped it on my head. I made all
these wacky, weird hairstyles with the shampoo's soap suds.
Then I took some body gel, put it on my legs as if I was a slimy
tailed mermaid (the gel looked like slime). It soon washed off
with the shower caps, fierce water. It was time to get out of the
shower, I got that feeling where you never want to leave it
because the water was so warm, and I knew once I got out it would
all be cold again. But I had to.
I dried myself up took the towel, wrapped it round me and
sprinted straight to Jessie's room where I found her sitting,
finishing her art homework. She looked up at me. My towel fell.
Most embarassing moment ever. Especially when us 13 year olds are
going through quite a lot of changes... She burst out laughing,
because it was so awkward, quickly picked up my towel, I was
bright red.
I will never forget that!
