Uzma "Uzi" Nicole Doorman was your average human girl- well, sort of. She liked dying her hair and dressing in clothes others dubbed "weird". But she was content with them

And her dad. Oh, her dad. Ever since her mom went missing years ago, he's tried to shelter her- she was only allowed to go to school this year after years of begging to stop being homeschooled

Plus, living near the beach wasn't bad- she got to see a certain boy- a boy her dad would NEVER approve of

Why?

"Because he's not human.

He's a mermaid

"Noah!" Uzma called out, the blond mermaid with green eyes looking at her cheekily from behind a rock, two more mermaids- Vivian and Journeé- behind him, there yellow tails flicking in the water
