Mermaids And The Vampires Who Love Them

Senior year was supposed to be perfect: water polo captain, champion diver, head of debate, and maybe, just maybe, a date with Finn Reefcraft. But then, my parents dropped a bombshell: a new school, West Marin Heights, and it's not just any school. It's for supernatural beings. Now, I'm stuck with mermaids, werewolves, fairies, minor gods... and vampires. Everyone knows mermaid blood is like vampire crack. Can I survive a school full of bloodthirsty creatures, or is my life about to get a lot more complicated?

Honestly, I can't believe my parents are making me change schools in my senior year! I love South Pacifica High where I'm the captain of the water polo team, a champion diver, and head of the debate team. Okay, I've never been out on a date, but now my chances for ever finding a boyfriend have dropped to zero.

I was lying on my hammock in my underwater bedroom cave, weaving seagrass into a basket for charity and daydreaming about Finn Reefcraft's perfect torso and bad boy grin, when my mom swam past the heart-shaped fissure in the wall of my bedroom. The last thing I wanted to do was endure another interrogation about why I wasn't doing my algebra homework, so I rolled out of the hammock to hide underneath.

As I twirled through the water, I managed to cut my finger on a sharp-edged blade of seagrass. The water tinged pink. I sucked on my finger to stop it, grimacing as the taste of metal coated my tongue. Of course, I gagged, though. Blood is so disgusting.

Suddenly, Mom swam into my room through the strands of shells in the doorway, appearing out of nowhere like a pop quiz. My heart raced, and my hair shot off orange sparks. (Uncontrollable sparking hair is so embarrassing. I'm the youngest of seventeen brothers and sisters, yet I'm the only Fishwater fingerling with this super-fun genetic anomaly.)
