Girls Rule 1

A Story by suuyuwriteyunu

A short, unfinished story I wrote when I was 12.

Girls Rule!

Part 1

Merina

Hi, I am Merina, Merina Pace. I am half-human and half mermaid. I have a sister named Mimi. Well, the interesting thing about being a half-human and half mermaid is, you can turn into a mermaid or a human whenever you want! Right now, I am in human form, but if I want to be a mermaid, I could just think I am a mermaid and then, "POOF!!", I am a mermaid. How cool is that! What makes me a half-human and half mermaid person is that my mom is a mermaid, and my dad is a pirate.

A lot of Saturdays, I and Mimi will go to dad's old house to go play. And a lot of Sundays I go under the sea to my mom's castle to visit my grandma and grandpa. My mom's a mermaid princess. That's why she has a castle under the sea. Oh, and by the way, my mom's castle is in the pacific ocean.

Last year, I moved from my mom's under the sea castle onto the land. I went to Pearls School when I was still living under the ocean. My best friends were Ellie and Amanda, they are both mermaids too.

Ellie was a competitive mermaid, but she has good sportsmanship. Every year on sports day, there is this game called "Ocean Pony Riders". That's her favorite game. She always wins in the game. The game "Ocean Pony Riders" is when players ride on seahorses, and who first reaches the crystal ball (which breaks easily but now changed into a sinking beach ball) will win the race. Whoever wins the race will get a crown made of seaweed. Ellie has tons of seaweed crowns in her room. Another interesting fact about Ellie is that she loves the word "splash". I don't have an answer to why she likes the word "splash" because I didn't have time to ask her. But if I did have time to ask her, I would forget.

My other friend, Amanda, on the other hand, loves school. She studies all the time, she also finds that reading her star book is interesting, I find that super boring. Her favorite letter is the letter "A". It's not that complicated why she likes the letter "A". There are a lot of A's in her name, and she always gets an A+ on her pearls test, which I always get a C+, the test is really hard! I am not jealous of her or anything, but I am happy for my friend that she got an A+ on every pearl test she took. Amanda is also looking forward to helping save the ocean. Whenever she finishes studying, she would ask me and Ellie if we can come to help her pick up trash on the ocean floor. And of course, we always said yes, but sometimes my mom doesn't let me, so it's a bummer.

Lunar

I am the princess of the moon. The greatest moon princess that has ever lived, Lunar Moolun. I have a twin sister, Flare. As you all might know, Flare, the Princess of the Sun, is such a messy monkey! When I and Flare were little, we used to be best friends. We played together every day, and we never fought. Well somehow when Flare grew up, she became soo messy that I can’t stand her! Well, I am still not sure if I became neater or did Flare become messier. But I know that after the day Flare changed, I didn’t like her like I used to.

Well now in the present, I have to share a room with her. It’s always been fine sharing a room with her when we were little, but now, NO way I am going to share a room with her! Good that we separate the room into two halves, the left side is Flare’s side, and the right side is my side. My side of the room is closer to the door. Flare’s side of the room is closer to the toilet.

As you all know, I am the neat girl in my family, so when I opened the door to my and Flare’s room, I was happy for a second, and then my happy face became a frown. You know why? Because when I open the door and see my side of the room, it was really neat and I love it, but then a second later, I look at Flare’s side of the room and it was too messy, I can’t stand it! That’s why it became a frown. Well, here’s a secret. Flare doesn’t really let me go to her side of the room, but I do that a lot. I like to sneak in to clean up her things. I just really can’t stand it! Almost every morning when I woke up, I would slip on one of Flare’s books, yes, our room is not that big, our beds are close to each other. Flare always reads a book before bed, and when she finishes, she just throws it in between our beds, that’s the problem why I slipped.

Enough about Flare, more about me. I have a pet cat named Twinkles, she is the most adorable thing ever!!! I feed her every meal, she loves any food in the brand called “Whiskas”. I also bought her a new scratching post yesterday. Twinkles is a Persian cat, I like Persians because their fur is soo fluffy! l like to comb her grey fur with her very own pink brush. She also has a skirt, but she doesn’t really like wearing skirts, not like me, I love wearing dresses, skirts, and gowns, they’re just soo pretty. I also love to sing, or hum songs. My favorite song is Into You, by Ariana Grande. I listen to that song every single day, the song is just so good!!!

Flare

Everyone, don’t be surprised, this is my normal handwriting. I think everyone can read it except my sister, she can’t read anything I write!! She is so weird. I think sometimes she can be super duper pooper scooper annoying. Like when I’m just minding my own business and then suddenly, she pops her head into mine and shouts over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over, (you get the idea,) just to make me keep my books. And this is exactly what will happen next, she would ask me why I like things not put away, and I would always answer because when things are put away, I can’t find anything! And then she’ll say, NONSENSE!!! And she’ll start tidying my beautiful books in the can’t-find-anything-shelf shelf. But when she’s not looking, I would get all of the books out of the shelf, including hers, and lay them all on the floor. Sometimes I think that she is a perfect girl in every way, except that her listening skills are not yet fully developed. She doesn’t really listen to me, she’s kinda selfish sometimes, and she also always likes to hog the spotlight. Sometimes I imagine her as a teacher and what a horrible teacher she would make. She also complains about my handwriting and my grammar, which I think is totally fine. Let’s talk about me now, I do not want to go for another page full of how naughty Lunar (A.K.A my twin sister) is. I like playing on my guitar, my favorite song to play on it is Jingle Bells, I don’t know why but it always feels like Christmas if you’re in MY world. I also like my room to be dusty, when the dust goes in my eyes and it tinkles, that’s the best part. I also like climbing on trees to see the view of our city from above, it is super beautiful, trust me, I saw it, and I'm gonna tell you one thing, the real picture is way better from the town's map because the town's map is just red and blue lines showing things and where it is and there's also only black outlines and the background is a light brown color. I definitely don’t get how adults read from that thing! I can’t even spot my house on that map! It’s just too confusing! Well, my mom always has a map like that in the car. I guess that’s why we always get lost when mom’s driving the car! She always depends on that un-understandable map! I would rather let Lunar drive, at least she doesn’t stare at that map when she rides her moon bike!

Lightningale

Hello everyone. I’m Lightningale. I know this is getting really boring, but that’s about to change because the amazing Lightningale’s here! Live and on your page! I can control lightning just like how it’s stated in my name. But that’s not the cool part about me. The cool part about me is that I am COOL. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is a really clear explanation of why I am really cool. By the way, I also have a pet nightingale, because it rhymes with my name and it is literally the coolest pet anyone can have! I know some girly girls don’t like eagles and nightingales, and they prefer dogs and cats, but I’m not those gossip girls, of course not! If I have a statement about something, I just say it, sometimes even in a crowd. Not like the “gossip girls”, they gossip about every single thing they think about. I just say it because I don’t care. I don’t even like school and it’s starting, Again!!! But just that I’m moving to a new school, but still, I hate this school cycle! My mom says that the school cycle will stop when I get a job, but then a job cycle will begin. Uhh, why do I even have to follow everything mom says! ‘Cause, she’s my MOM!! That’s why it bothers me a lot. Now, back to the amazing Lightningale!!! I can shoot lightning from my fingertips, that pose is called, “shots”. That’s what my old teacher, Mrs. Hollerbottom taught me. Her name is so hilarious, right? Hollerbottom! And her name also matches her personality! She hollers, and she has a big bottom! No offense or anything, Mrs. Hollerbottom!! Hahaha! Anyways, if you’re wondering why I didn’t even mention my friends in my writing is because I don’t have any! But no worries, it doesn’t bother me at all. I’m always a loner at school. But I don’t care because I don’t need friends. They’re just a distraction in your life that slows you down, at least that’s what I think! Well, if you think I’m wrong, that’s fine, because I never had the experience of having friends anyway, and I don’t want to. I think I’m better off alone. (BTW, I also don’t really like writing. So I’m gonna stop now.)

Merina

Tomorrow is a really exciting day for me and my little sister, Mimi, because tomorrow is the first day we are going to go to our new school! So it’s like our first day to go learn in a school that is on the ground, how cool is that! It might not be cool for you, because you live on the ground for your whole life, but it’s a big change for me and my sister. We’ve always been comfortable learning underwater, but we kind of want to try something new this year. So my sister and I succeeded in convincing mom and dad to let us move up onto the ground for a year so we can try learning in a school that is normal, for people, not for mermaids though. My father approves of that right away. He says, “Trying something new is like going on a brand new adventure! And we pirates love adventures! Arrr!!” Well, convincing mom is a totally different thing. She is really attached to her hometown, which is underwater. And sometimes half-human mermaids have a little bit of trouble breathing outside of the water because we don’t normally breathe in air, we breathe in water. So my mom is kind of worried about that stuff. But my dad reassured my mom that everything will be fine if we’re with him because he’s ‘super dad’, a weird parent excuse but yeah, it worked. And he also told mom if we started having breathing problems, he’ll take us to the ocean right away. And that’s not a problem because, as a pirate, he lives on a broken ship on the seashore. But it is actually really far away from our new school so he rented an apartment for us to live in for this year, and that apartment is just four blocks away from our new school so that’s a good thing. I just can’t wait to experience going to a human school which is actually outside of all the water! Not going to lie, I am actually kind of bored with having water surrounding me all the time. And having air surround me for one year is worth it. (That’s because I don’t want water surrounding me for like, one year I guess?) The day before yesterday, my sister and I went “back to school shopping”. I think that’s how you say it, but yeah. It was super cool! We get to go to a shopping mall called, “Walmart”. At Walmart, we went to buy super cute school supplies. All of the school supplies we bought had mermaids on them, that’s because I and Mimi went straight to the mermaid section. We bought pencils, pens, markers, gel pens, tape, notebooks, binders, folders, paperclips, paper, erasers, a pencil case to put all our stationaries in. My pencil case has two zippers, which means that there are two pockets to put my stuff inside. Plus, the pockets are super big! Way bigger than the shell cases that we had back in Pearls School! My pencil case even has water inside! If I tip it over to the right, the shells and starfishes inside all tip over to the right. If I tip it over to a direction, the shells and starfishes tip over to the direction I tip my pencil case too. How cool is that right???? Oh, I can’t wait till the school bus comes to pick me up for school tomorrow! I just know that tomorrow won’t get any better than this! Only if I made friends so easily at my new school and I have a really good day there at my new school, and that we won’t have homework on the first day of school! That is just only how the day can get any better than this! By the way, What’s the name of my new school? Oh, look! The school bus is here! All aboard, the bus from the future that will definitely blow your socks off!!!!!

Lunar

Guess what just happened to me!!! Such exciting news I can’t wait to tell you! Mrs. Mcarthy, our principal, just called mom and guess what she said! She said, “Mrs. Moolun since your kids had been outstanding students last year, I would like them to tour the school for two new students at Calmazonia High. The new students are Merina Pace and Lightningale Hike. Please agree to this because I really appreciate it.” And of course, my mom said yes! Are you wondering why I wrote down the exact words Mrs. Mcarthy said, well that’s because I was kind of, sort of, but not intentionally, eavesdropping on mom! Don’t tell anyone I just wrote that! I shouldn’t have eavesdrop in the first place! Eavesdropping is such a bad mannered thing to do, for a princess or anyone in the world! But, when mom’s on the phone, I always stay to listen and write the things she said in my diary, because lots of times, it’s about how good I am at school! And because I did it soo many times it became a habit. But mom still told me later anyway that I was going to give a tour to the new students! Eeeee!!! When I was done ‘eavesdropping’ on mom, I quickly ran upstairs to read it. I didn’t even know what I wrote in my diary, I just wrote random words that mom was saying. But then when I finally read what I wrote, I was soo shocked! I, Lunar Moolun, the princess of the moon, the best moon princess in the whole entire universe (of course), is getting promoted, and that her first assignment for tomorrow is to give a grand tour to the new students of Calmazonia High! Aaaahhh!!! This is such exciting news! I have never been asked to give a tour to a new student, but in this case, TWO new students!!! Sadly, someone just had to pop in, WITHOUT knocking, to interrupt my beautiful thoughts, guess who? Who would it be except Flare? We do share a room so she doesn’t need to knock but, how rude! And that’s not all, she was standing there for so long and she didn’t even tell me. Her hands were up, holding her phone, she was taking a video of me screaming and hugging my diary! I bet she was going to show that her friends tomorrow, not like she has any, but I was steaming mad! Why would she do this to me?! I marched over to her and we had a really long talk.

Flare

Tomorrow is the first day of school! Such a tragedy, I hate going to school! I went outside for a walk and I picked out some sticks and twigs for my next prank on Lunar but I was interrupted by a loud sound, it was like someone dropped something, and then another person tripped over the thing that the first person dropped. But, you get what I mean, it was really really loud, so I went to peek at the window and guess what I saw. The most hilarious thing that had happened to me this whole summer, not including the pranks I pulled on Lunar of course, but this is even better than the pranks that I pulled on her! Lunar, little miss perfect slipped on her own prank that she was supposed to prank me! But of course, I won’t fall for such a lame prank! It was just a small skinny transparent string taped from the walls of the living room to the living room couch. It was supposed to make ME, not Lunar, slip when I walk into the living room. But it was such a classic prank! A real prankster like me would have noticed that a million years ago! Well, I did notice it when I was going to the living room, so I didn’t trip over and I crossed over the string safely. Good job me! But unlike me, Lunar tripped over her own prank! Crazy! She should’ve known because she was the one who set it up! THUD! I have no idea why mom didn’t notice that, might be because she’s on the phone. And there she was, lying on the ground, her enormous butt in the air, and her face squished onto the floor! It was such a funny moment that I had to take my phone out to take a picture. But too bad I got carried away laughing my guts out of me that I forgot to take my phone out to take a picture of her, too bad, just way too bad! But a minute later, I stopped laughing because something else caught my attention and it was unbelievable! And unreal at the same time! Is she a rebel or something! What is she doing there, behind the couch, writing something in her diary, and staring at mom! Could it be? Is the perfectionist princess (my sister) SPYING on my MOM?????? I never thought she would do something like this, and that this situation is getting really suspicious yet really interesting at the same time! So I snuck back into the house to spy on my sister, who is spying on my mom, who was still talking on the phone. I snuck behind the pole close to the couch Lunar was hiding behind. I listened closely to mom’s conversation on the phone, but I also paid attention to what Lunar was doing, I am a multitasker, so, yeah. I kind of regret spying on Lunar and mom because the news I heard from mom’s phone conversation ruined my weekend. First, today became the best thing that happened to me this weekend, now it’s turning quite the opposite. The person mom was on the phone with was Mrs. Mcarthy, our school principal.

Lightningale

Tomorrow I will be starting a new school and I am NOT excited about it. Have I ever mentioned that I ABSOLUTELY HATE school? Uhh…… You have to follow all the rules that the principal, or are they called teachers, or was it, mister, Nah, I don’t care. As I was saying, you have to follow the rules that the principal/teacher/mister made! (I’m just doing that because I don’t know what they’re called.) Oh and I wanted to tell you an amazing, (but also it made me soo worried that I, Nah, nevermind what I did, let’s just go on with the story.) As I was saying, I wanted to tell you about an Amazing Discovery I made! It’s that nightingale CAN’T eat BISCUITS. So, what happened………….ummm………..should I tell you……...yeah, I guess because that’s the only thing that is on my mind right now. So, it was a Saturday night, I was walking into the kitchen to get some food. (I’m trying to make it suspenseful, but it’s not working, so I’m just going to stop.) So, one Saturday night, I walked into the kitchen to get a popsicle. Then, I saw something Horrible in the kitchen, Bobby!!!! (he’s also my bigger brother who likes to tease me a lot soo, yeah.) Bobby was in the kitchen too! He was scurrying through the kitchen cupboards trying to find something. One thing I know about my brother is that If you SEE my brother is doing something, even though you know what he’s doing, you can assume that it’s a bad thing. Back to the story. While Bobby was busy scurrying through the kitchen cupboards, I quickly ducked behind one of the kitchen counters and hid there so Bobby wouldn't see me. I stretched my arm, wait… which arm? Oh yes, my Right arm and I grabbed the fridge handle and pulled it as slowly as possible so I wouldn’t make any sound. I tiptoed closer to the fridge and that was when Swish! Bobby turned his head around to look, I quickly hid behind the fridge door so he wouldn’t see me. There was a super long pause there that I can’t wait any longer so I decided to grab a light blue colored popsicle and lick it. Lick, lick, lick. I licked the popsicle three times and then Bobby decided to run away. (Just to be clear, Bobby didn’t run away because of my licking sounds but because he was done doing whatever he’s doing.) When Bobby was getting up to walk out of the kitchen, I saw something in his hands, an unopened pack of biscuits. I said to myself, “This is getting pretty suspicious!” That’s because Bobby never eats biscuits, and besides, those biscuits were MINE!!! He’s trying to steal again, didn’t he! When I said to myself, “This is getting pretty suspicious,” I might have said it a little too loudly because Bobby heard me. And also, he eventually found out my hiding spot and I had to run away, WOW! I wrote soo much, and it's super detailed, why did I write this much, it’s disgusting me out! I'm not even in the middle of this story. Well, let me just continue then, but now less writing and fewer details about the story. Okay, so, I was licking the popsicle when I saw Bobby in the corridor. I decided to follow him because I wanted to know what he was going to do with my biscuits. So I followed him into the corridor, (well I was heading that way too because my room is in that corridor, so is Bobby’s room, but I’m pretty sure he’s not headed to his own room. I saw Bobby going into MY Room! Actually, to be honest with you, it was pretty predictable that he wasn’t going in HIS Room, but he was going to MINE, because he likes to barge into my room all the time to do something I don’t like, like that time he let nightingale lose, and he flew all over my room, pooping everywhere and ripped lots of my furniture because he thought it was prey. I mean, he always does things to Nightingale and I absolutely do not like it. And one time, I wanted to get him back so I went into his room, and things might have got a little bit out of hand because I accidentally zapped his room to dust… so I decided that I’m not doing it EVER again. But this time, when I went into my room, I was too late, he was already doing something to Nightingale! He was feeding him, BISCUITS!!!! Well at that time, I didn’t know that nightingales can’t eat biscuits so I didn’t have anything to worry about. But then Nightingale started choking, it was like something was stuck in his throat! I was soo scared that he would die that I accidentally zapped lightning onto Bobby and it hit him right on the wall! (the wall had some cracks in it too!) I still have to learn how to control my powers since I don’t really know how to control them yet, I think you can already tell. I was soo mad but also soo scared! It was like a mix of emotions that I can’t do anything about. I was mad because of Bobby and I was scared because I was scared something bad would happen to Nightingale. Then both mom and dad came in and dad called the vet to get nightingale, while mom tried to calm me down. I don’t know what got over me that time, well I’m always like that soo, yeah. But at the end, I found out that Nightingale just choked on one of the biscuits, Not that because he was allergic to biscuits, so I might have exaggerated a little when I was writing on the first page. I’m going to stop now because all this writing is giving me a headache!

Lunar

Today is the First Day Of School!!!! I am soooo excited!!! I can’t wait to meet the new students since I’m getting to give them a tour around the school!! Today I woke up at 7 o’clock and brushed my teeth, showered, combed my hair, put on my favorite lip gloss, got my backpack and my purse, and did all that in 31 minutes! And yes, I did time myself. Then I went down to the kitchen to eat. Of course, Flare definitely wasn’t awake yet because she is such a sleepyhead, she could sleep till noon! I ate my favorite cereal which is ‘Puffalicious Princess’. The cereal has like, a lot of shapes on it. There are crown/tiara shapes, dress shapes, high heel shapes, a princess’s face shapes, bow shapes, etc. By the way, the shapes I’m talking about are the shapes of the cereal. When I was done eating breakfast, guess what, Flare isn’t even awake yet! I don’t want to brag or anything but, I’m way more responsible than Flare. It was like, super late already, (well that was what I thought at that time), and Flare is definitely going to make me be late for school again and I hate it when she does that! I didn’t know what to do now that I already finished all my responsibilities so I just chilled on the couch and browse on Instagram for a very long time. Then when I eventually got bored of scrolling on Instagram, I decided to watch a movie. It was a mystery movie so I gasped and made a lot of noise that it woke my mom up from her sleep.

She asked me, “Honey, what are you doing up at this time of the day?”

And then I said, “I’m already prepared for school, and mom, can you wake Flare up for me because if she doesn’t wake up now, she’s going to make me late for school again.”

But then she said, “Lunar, Honey! It’s five o’clock in the morning! And the school doesn’t even start till eight o’clock! I think you set your alarm wrong again. Please go back to sleep.”

Then that’s when it hit me. The reason no one disturbed me while eating breakfast, watching the movie, and when I was doing my hair because I woke up way too early! I have set my alarm clock wrong again, and that happens a lot of times already. I think I’m getting a little forgetful. Oh no. That’s just going to make me look old, and I don’t want to be old like a grandma! Oh no. Oh no! I’m freaking out right now! Why do I freak out so much?! I don’t know! Ahh!!! Now I’m freaking out even more! Even writing about this is freaking me out! And my mom is also constantly telling me to go back to sleep right now, so I better listen to her before she gets even louder and louder. I’ll have to change back into my pajamas again! Ughh! So boring! I really have to try to remember the right time to set on the alarm clock now! Oh no. Now, mom is starting to yell, better go! I’ll write later, I promise!
