You bumped into her at school. Idk what happens next so you do it

You were walking by the river, until you saw this mermaid. You thought she looked good, so you decided to stay around for a while.

She’s your classmate. Pairings for a project is tomorrow. Everyone except you and her have paired up already. She’s your last hope. Lucky for you she’s talented and smart but she’s shy. Good luck! (Oh yeah you’re a boy to keep a stranger to lover story sorry girls)
