Chapter 1 Turtle was getting ready for his first day of fourth grade, when Siline swam into his tiny coral room. “Are you ready?” his mother asked, watching him stuff things hastily into his finpack. “Yeah,” Turtle replied. “Pencils, check. Notebooks, check. Textbooks, check. Finpack, check. Lunch…” Turtle looked up. Just then, Opal came in. They were both smiling. “I forgot my lunch.” he said. “That's a surprise,” Opal said, giggling. She brushed her tail fin against his. He frowned and put his finpack on. Opal brushed him again as he went through the door. They went downstairs and Turtle watched as Siline gently slid in his ‘surprise’ lunch . She looked at her son and said, “ I love you, Turtle! Opal, come here, please.” His sister came from her room and added, “I love you, have fun!!!” Uncle Kelp, who was sitting on the couch, then added, “Make sure to remember to be nice! Especially to teachers.” “ Love you too, I will,” Turtle called as he barely made it outside to catch the bus to Clam Shell Academy. After a few classes Turtle was walking down the hallway ready to enter reading, when suddenly a mean looking student blocked his way. “Where do you think you're going?” he said. “Gosh, you look so weird, why are you so blue? It's SO disgusting!” Turtle was so flabbergasted, he didn't even notice the X-ray fish that appeared next to him. “Go away, Spike! Why are you saying that when YOU smell like a blobfish's breath?” Spike was so shocked, all he could say was: “Just don't get too dirty, you stuck-up puffer fish!” and smirked at Turtle as he swam away. “Are you okay?” the fish asked sympathetically. Turtle was too busy staring at her brilliant blue eyes. “Um, hello?” she asked again. “Oh, sorry!” he exclaimed, coming back to reality. “Thanks a lot! And I'm fine.” “What's your name?” she asked, looking at him. “Turtle,” he replied. “Cool! Mine's Crystal.” she said. “Wanna be friends?” “Um….. sure?” Turtle said. “What class do you have?” Crystal asked. “Oh, reading...” “Same! Let's go!” she said, smiling. Chapter 2 After reading, it was time for lunch, and Turtle would finally know he got. “Finally! I'm starving!”Crystal moaned, reaching into her finpack. “Oh c'mon! I forgot mine!! I'm SO HUNGRY!!!!” Turtle opened his lunch box and found his favorite food, coral and seaweed salad. He found a note that read, Favorite food for my favorite sapphire salmon! Love - Mom, Opal and Uncle Kelp “Who's Opal?” Crystal asked, startling Turtle. “Oh! Sorry,” she said shyly, “it's just, I was looking at your salad, and it looks delicious!!” Turtle smiled for the first time. “It's fine. Here, have some,” he offered. Crystal started scarfing down the food. After a few bites, she realized she'd forgotten to thank him. “Oh sheesh, I'm sorry, thanks for your lunch! It is delicious,” Turtle smiled again. “No need, I'm not that hungry anyway…. I just want to read The Adventures of Coralberry Fin by Miss Fuchsia Ink” Crystal gaped at him, and cried, “NO WAY!! REALLY? I LOVE THAT BOOK!!!! MISS FUCHSIA INK IS AWESOME!” Turtle laughed and continued finding his page where he left off. “Hey, you never told me who Opal is,” Crystal added. “Oh, she's my older sister,” he replied, finishing a paragraph. He put his fin on the place where he left off, and looked up. He searched around the sunlit cafeteria for his sister. It was hard to spot her, since she had fluorescent scales and there was pearl inlaid on the clam shell walls. After scanning the area a couple times, he spotted his sister. She was talking to Spike! Crystal seemed to have spotted her, too (Turtle had no idea how), because she then said: “Oh, that spiny swordfish! Why is she talking to SPIKE?!” “I honestly don't know,” he said. Opal noticed them and swam over, Spike following her. Spike not wanting them to ruin his time with his crush quickly said, “Opal, why are you swimming over to those FREAKS?!?!” Opal gave him a disgusted look and said, “Turtle has a name, you know, and he's my younger brother.” Spike was again shocked, glared at Turtle, and swam away, burning with humiliation. Crystal giggled again. “ Just look at him! He is SO RED!!!” she said between giggles. Opal started giggling too. “Like I'll ever like him again…”
