Shark!

HOW CAN THEY TREAT ME like I’m the bad merguy?” Pearl muttered as she swam past the statues in MerPark. She felt like kicking the marble sculpture of Poseidon. “I was only trying to help Wanda. She’s the one who had to sleep with a scary skeleton.”

Pearl was so deep in thought she didn’t see the big gray-and-white snout sliding up behind her. “And why does Kiki get a great room when she took my necklace? None of this makes any sense! I’m going to tell my mother when I get home. She’ll fix this mess.”

Suddenly a massive mouth with three thousand razor-sharp teeth opened right in front of Pearl.

“Oh my Neptune!” she screamed. Pearl was so petrified she couldn’t move her shimmering tail one bit.

The teeth belonged to a great white shark that was at least twenty feet long. He looked fierce and mean, and Pearl knew she would never get the chance to complain to her mother. She would never get the chance to complain to anyone ever again. She was sure she was about to become this creature’s lunch!

But then Pearl saw something that made her mad, so mad she reached out and banged the shark—hard—on the nose. “How dare you!” she shouted.

Surprised and startled, the shark snapped its jaws shut and backed away. But Pearl wasn’t done. She wanted what was in the shark’s mouth: her pearl necklace! “How did you get that? You give me my pearls back right now!” she yelled, and reached her hand out to snatch them.

The shark shook its head and opened its mouth again. In one huge rush, it zoomed toward Pearl.

“Help! Help!” Pearl screamed, and lunged sideways.

The ocean was a blur as she dashed back to Trident Academy as fast as she could. The shark chased Pearl, snapping at her tail.

Pearl didn’t have time to think. When she finally burst into the school, she paused to catch her breath. Surely she’d be safe in Trident Academy.

But the shark didn’t stop. It burst into the tremendous shell and came dangerously close to Pearl.

“Someone! Anyone! Help!” Pearl screamed into the massive empty entrance hall. But no one heard her cries. Everyone at Trident Academy was still in the cafeteria, eating lunch.

Pearl kept racing away from the shark, toward the girls’ dormitory.

She was swimming into a dead end, but she had no choice.
