Scales: Mermaids Are Real Page #2

she was very kind also like you.

What else?

She had a laugh.

Oh boy, when you would get her

going, oh my god.

I remember one time, she got an

entire room laughing...

and I don't even think they knew

what was funny.

If she were alive, do you think

she would love me?

She would love you.

She does love you...

when she protects you

in her own way.

The day that your mom left us...

well, that was the day

that I got you.

That was the happiest and

saddest day of my life...

all rolled into one.

Do you think my dad's

out there somewhere?

I don't know, honey.

I suppose if he was, I wouldn't

have ended up with you, huh?

Ow!

Ow!

Hey, sorry, did I hit you?

What are you doing here?

I'm not stalking you

or anything, I swear.

Then what are you doing

at my house?

Can't we take a walk?

Where?

I guess I didn't think

this through too much.

Uh...

Fine, wait there,

I'm coming down.

Do you want to sit down

or something?

Don't do that.

Do what?

Treat me like I'm a special

case.

All right, so we're walking.

What?

Nothing, you're... you're

really pretty.

What?

Nothing. Thank you.

Are you laughing at me?

No, sorry, I laugh

when I'm nervous.

I make you nervous?

When we're walking alone,

yes, a little bit.

You have nothing to be nervous

about me, Siren.

So why did you move here?

It's kind of embarrassing.

Well, now you pretty much

have to tell me.

My dad says he's chasing down

a cure for me...

but it never gets anywhere.

I mean, if he'd asked me, I

would have told him not to move.

Oh, okay.

Don't... don't take that

personally.

I just... I feel like

I'm a burden sometimes.

We're kids, we're supposed

to be a burden.

It's like our right.

My dad's a bit intense, I guess.

I just never know

what's real with him.

I mean, he's convinced there's

a way to really save me...

but I don't know, he drove away

my mom trying to find a cure.

My mom's gone, too.

I'm sorry.

It's okay, just don't treat me

like I'm a special case, either.

So, where are we walking?

Honestly, you're the local.

I don't have any idea

where any of these paths lead.

Well then if we follow this path

back, it should take me home.

Okay, yeah, that one I knew.

Goodnight!

Goodnight.

Hey, wait up.

Are you wearing my present?

Yeah.

Good.

It wasn't cheap, you know.

Hey, Siren.

Hey, Adam.

That was really fun yesterday.

Yeah, it was nice.

I like your necklace.

It really catches the light.

Thanks.

Anyway, I'll see you around.

Siren, stay away from him.

Why, do you have a crush on him?

No! I mean, yes.

I have a crush on him,

so stay away.

I'm coming over for dinner

tonight, okay?

I'll have to check with my mom.
