Under the sea
I flopped myself onto my feather mattress.
I was so tired of school. I just want a break. Hi my name is
Cristy Andrews I'm 12 years old and am so totally sick of flunking
tests. I picked up my paper . We had just studied Marine Biology
and of course we had a test. There it was in bloodshot red a big
fat F. I was pretty used to it, but this F made my feelings sink.
I felt like an anchor sinking down, down, down...
"Cristy!"
My mothers voice woke me from my thoughts. "Cristy, Cristy Andrews
your dinner is getting cold." "Coming." I called. I ate
my dinner quickly without a word. "I'm going to bed." I said as I

I dragged myself up the stairs lazily.
I stripped my clothes off and pulled on a pair of plaid boxing shorts and

sharp annoyed voice. "Of course you are. If you aren't who
are you?" He asked. " Hello, I'm Cristie." I was really
annoyed and sick of all these questions. " Are you Ok? Do you
need a doctor?" He asked. " Ok, Ok. Lets start over here.
If I'm Lizzy then who does that make you?" I asked . " Lizzie
you don't know your own father?" He said. "You're not my father.
My father drags around the house all day in his dark blue bathrobe."
I said thinking of my father. " Lizzie your missing the point.
The point is that you are supposed to be at that meeting in a hour."
He began swimming toward the castle. I had no choice but to follow...
