I jump onto my ilu and lead the way to the reef. It felt like ages since I had been there.

I looked to my side and soor Neteyam riding his ilu with Tuk in front of him. It made me smile to see how loving he was towards her.

"Here" I say as we approach the reaf.
I disconnect my tendrils and get off my ilu and into the water .

I take a breath in and dive deep under to see the wonders that surround me.

Anoung appears from behind me and
Signs 'look at how they swim' I look back to see Neteyam and Lo'ak struggle to keep up .

'They are trying' I sign back

I wave at Neteyam and when I got his attention I sign 'this way'

He gives me a confused look and surfaces.

I glance at Anoung who rolls his eyes and carries on swimming.

I follow him and begin to swim through the reef.

I surface for a breath and join Lo'ak and Neteyam.

"Slow down , you guys are too fast!" Tuk says paddling

" We don't understand this finger talk" Lo'ak says

"Well them tomorrow we teach you" I reply

I look to see the sun slowly setting.

" Come,we have to get back before its dark" I say taking a hold of Tuks hand

"That was fun" Neteyam says sitting down next to me on the sand of the beach.

" Yes , I love the reef" I say getting water out of my hair

"So, do you miss your home in the forest" I ask turning to him

" Sort of.. but I also-" He was cut off my mother yelling me name

" Oh uh sorry I better be going" I smile and run up the beach

" Yes mother." I say approaching her

" Sit with me child" She simply said
I sit down next to her and wait for her to speak .

" I soor you talking to that boy" She says meaning Neteyam

" Yes father said to welcome them " I reply looking out into the Ocean

" Well, I don't want you talking to that boy. Only when in lessons but not otherwise . Those Navi are bad news and I will not stand to see you with him." She says firmly

" Oh, uh yes of course mother" I say standing up

" Is that all?"

" Yes it is all, night daughter"

I walk away from mother and onto the rope path.

I ignore Anoung when he makes a remark to me . I ignore when Neteyam waves goodnight to me I simply go into our hut and sit in the corner .

I thought it would be easy staying away from Neteyam but I always seem to being drawn closer to him.

But what Mother says is always right. I will keep my distance and interact as little as possible.
