Kaya was 6 years old at the time. she attended Arcadia elementary school where popularity and looks didn't matter.

Kaya had lots of friends but one of her friends was a mystery to her back then.

"hey you... boy with the book"Kaya said

he said "I have a name you know"

"Well I don't know your name and you're reading a book"Kaya replied

"What are you reading anyway?.. your book looks like one of those books adults read" She continued.

"The ravens."the boy said shortly. "Wow! that's so cool I wish I could a book like you!"she said amazed

Kaya sat next to the boy sitting behind a tree. She gazed at his face as the sun slipped through the trees and hit his face. "why are you staring at me?" The boy snapped.

"you look pretty. your eyes look like the sea." She grinned. "stop staring. My parents said that staring is rude"the boy said annoyed

He continued "Aren't you going to ask me for my name?"

"Well you didn't ask for my name. so why should I ask for yours?" She snapped

"because I already know your name... Kaya. Don't you want to know my name?"he replied

"Fine. What's your name?"She said

"Lee. My names Lee"

Present day

His name I remember his name. Wait! we were friends back then and he still remembers.

Class is over. The odd boy is waiting outside my class. He's smirking at me. "So do you know my name?"

"Yes I do. Lee" I said. "you remember my name. I'm glad you used to call me boy with the book."Lee said jokingly

"Looks like I win." Kaya said. " What do you want?" he grinned

"I don't know yet? " I said confused. "Well..." Lee reaches over and takes off my chunky glasses. "that's so much better"he snickered

he tilts my head back and slightly opens his mouth and says "you look prettier without them"

Did he just say I look pretty. No one had said that in my life. If only he were Brett I would've been swept away.

"Are you seriously that blind. I mean I've seen people with glasses and your glasses are thick,chunky and ugly. You should wear contacts" he said concerningly

"well... contacts hurt and I don't like wearing them"i snapped back

we started walking out the school to my house. It's been a while since I brought someone over to my house especially a boy.

"hey. have you heard tales about mermaids" Lee asked. "Are you talking about Ariel the little mermaid if so I've heard of it before"

I replied

"No. That's not what I'm talking about. it's said that if you capture a mermaid it can grant you three wishes." he whispered
