The bus parks in front of the high school you go to, and all of the students get out, including you, and Alec. "Here, Terry," Alec says, opening his umbrella to keep you dry from the rain. Luckily, this one didn't blow away, as Alec kept his grip on it. When you both head inside, Alec closes the umbrella before pulling it through the door.
"You know, Ter, I've been thinking," Alec says. "Since the mermaid virus is causing you to change every time you get wet, you will become completely female, right?" "I guess," You agree. "Well today, and the rest of your life, until they find a cure, I will be your personal water guard, even if we have classes together," Alec explains. "For example, you'll have to stop drinking milk." "Other liquids can't change me further," You say. "Just water, and if I get wet again, I won't be able to see my family again after I become a mermaid."
