You get on the bus, after getting soaked by a dozen rain drops coming from the sky. You weren't sure if the mermaid virus was going to keep you from going to school, or not, but you had to not make your parents mad, given how much you've been skipping it the past couple of days. You then find a spot on the bus.
You were seated next to your best friend Alec, who was taller than you, had dark skin, and was also using an umbrella which was closed when he got on. Alec noticed you, as you sit down next to him. "Whoa," Alec says. "Did you get that new illness that everyone's been talking about?" Alec asks. "The mermaid one?" You say. "Yeah. I was surfing the other day, and brought to the hospital. Let's hope we can stay best friends before I begin to lose memory of my friends, and family."
