"Valentine! We found a girl and brought her on the boat!" I ran out to the dock and froze. Her eyes were diamond blue, her hair was long, blonde, and curly. She looked like the most perfect girl I had ever seen! And she had her eyes on Alex. As did Alex. They walked twords each other and my pain started. I jumped out infront of Alex, trying to get his attention. "Alex! You love me remember!" I said in a very loud paniced voice. He kept focused on her and pushed me out of the way. I fell to the ground and looked back up to Alex. She kept her eyes focused on what she wanted to steal from me too. I shook my head and screamed. No one looked at me.

Day after day they spent every second together, they were a perfect couple. But as they did so, I sat in corners, watching them. Crying. Wanting ym Alex back. I would cry until I fell asleep almost every single night. I didn't understand how someone could promise forever, then turn around and leave you. Every time I saw them, I died a little more inside. No one reconized my pain. Alex and that girl pretended I wasn't even there.

On Alex's birthday, while he went to the rest room she walked over to me. She leaned over to me since I was sitting in a chair and smiled. "Alex is mine now, I stole him from you so you'd be miserable. Looks like I won this one." She snooted and walked away. I was shocked, she didn't even love Alex! I wanted to tell Alex but, he wouldn't believe me. When he came out he said her name, "Eva!" Well no wonder he's inlove with her! She's got it all! Beautiful face, beautiful hair, and a beautiful name! It made me angry to think I couldn't be as pretty as her.

Over the next two years they stayed together, we were all 15 at the moment and Eva was still the life of the boat. I only seemed to be a ghost. Alex had taken some notice back in me again. And he started spending time with me and watching me while Eva and him hung out. She would try to see what he was looking at and she'd smack his shoulder and walk away. Hoping he'd chase after her. But he just sat there, he didn't even lift a finger. When she left he walked over to me. "Val, I still love you." He said as he got on one knee and held my hand. Eva walked ina nd heard it all "Alex! We're over!" He stood up and yelled back, "I don't care Eva! You are a BRAT! A stuck up pretty brat that thinks she's little miss princess! You made me pretend to be desperatly inlove with you for two years! I want Valentine not you!" He yelled, she cried and jumped off the boat. Everyone ran to see if she was okay. She came to the surface, "I knew she was a mermaid." I said as we all watched her splash her tail at us and swim away.
