Adjusting

(The News)

No ones POV:

Rikki Chadwick was sitting in math class, trying to tune out Mr. Turner who was droning on and on and on about the slopes on a graph. When Mr. Turner turned to rikki and asked

"Miss. Chadwick, give us a point on the graph with the slope 3/1."

"no thanks" Rikki said causing the whole class to burst out laughing. Just then the phone rings and Mr. Turner turns to Rikki and says:

"The principal wants to see you in his office" Causing a people so talk in hushed tones about what they think she did.

"what Ev's" Rikki said not really caring


(No ones POV:)

"Principal Lincon, Ms. Chadwick is here to see you" said Ms. Leva, the school Secretary.

"Alright bring her in" He said just wanting to get this over with

"hey Greg" Rikki greeted

"hello ms. Chadwick" the principal greeted ignoring the fact that she called him by his first name "please sit".

"OK." Rikki said a little weird-ed out

"look Rikki I'm gonna need a favor from you that will do the school administrator and the whole district alot of good." he started

"urgggg, what" she complained aggressively

"we would like you to go to new york for a student exchange program that we are starting." he started

"for how long?"

"a year." he almost whispered knowing that she hates moving since she already does it enough.

"WHAT!!!!!!!!" Rikki screeched "you can't do that. my life, my friends, my boyfriend and Mako island are all here you cant just take me away from all of that and ship me to new Looser"

"it's new york"

"i know what i said and what i said is true. I'll be the new looser again. I'll be the freaky weird chick!" she yelled but with the last statement she chuckled remembering that Zane called her that about a year ago when trying to get her to go out with him.

"i under stand that but ..... wait what about Mako" Rikki's eyes widened when she realized she had said Mako Island

"it's like the only place i have to be alone" she said 'wow i truly am the queen of lies' Rikki thought

"OK well anyway we really think that this would be a great opportunity for you to venture out and go to new places"

"I've been to enough places and im ventured enough but i love it here and i hate opportunity's "

"well i and the school administration thought it would be good for you so we tried to call your mother-''

"my mum left right after i was born" Rikki interrupted almost groweling

"OK well i am truly sorry about that but we called your father and explained that it was full scholarship so I'm sorry that you don't want to go but you are going to New York."

Rikki's POV:

I wanted to kill him but decided that i didn't want to go to juvenile, so i just screamed

"i hate you" at the top of my lungs and ran out of the principals office, once i got into the classroom still red and fuming with anger. I looked at Zane's paper, a pop quiz on slopes which is so stupid considering i learned about them in like 7th grade (a/n im in seventh grade and we are learning about them) i couldn't take the anger anymore so without thinking, i just yelled out:

"I'm not going, i grabbed my bag and ran out of the classroom, noticing that i had nowhere to go i just sat in a scrunched up ball with my head buried in my knees.


(Emma's POV:)

Rikki just yelled out that she's not going. where isn't she going? does she not want to go to biology? well whatever's going on im still worried. I give Mr. Turner a pleading look and Mr. Turner gives us an approving look to go see whats wrong with Rikki. So Zane, Ash, Lewis, Cleo and I all stand up and walk into the hall.

I stopped dead in my tracks when i saw Rikki sitting there with her head on her knees and she sounded like she was, Crying? I'm beyond worried now because Rikki NEVER cry's.


(Rikki's POV:)

I look up to see Zane, Emma, Ash, Lewis and Cleo staring at me

'great just great they all saw me cry' i thought

"Hi" i managed to squeak out they all look at me simultaneously before Zane asks

"Where aren't you going?"

"America" i shyly whisper

"what" they all yell

"some stupid higher than us school directors want me to go to New York City"

"really?" Cleo asks

"yeah, and that's not the worst part, they want me to go for a year."

"what" Zane asks sadly and all i can do is nod. Just then we all spot Mr. Lincon coming down the hall with a couple of papers, ugg i hate him.

"hi kids" he said

"hi Mr. Lincon" we all say

"OK, so bye now, i expect Ms. Chadwick has told you all the news"

"yeah" i say quietly as Zane helps me off the ground

"OK well i and all of your teachers agreed that they wont need to give out homework for the last three weeks of school and as even i know you don't learn anything in the last three weeks. so as long as you study for finals you don't have to come to school.

"cool, sweet, awesome, net-o, fine, Thank you" we all said (BTW Emma said the last one)


Zane, Ash and Lewis went on Zane's Zodiac(a type of motorboat), while Emma, Cleo and I swam to Mako island (since we're mermaids). Once we swam right through to the moon pool and the guys slid down the rocks, which we all helped smooth out so they're as smooth as a slide. Em, Cleo, Ash and Lewis tried to encourage me how great New York would be while Zane and I were complaining how we didn't want me to go. Which lead to Emma yelling at Zane saying he wasn't helping and i yelled at her telling to not yell at Zane. we all calmed down abit and apologized, even though two of us still didnt want me to go. I swam to shore and walked back home to take my defeat and start packing since i was leaving in 3 weeks when my last final was over.
