H2O: Just Add New Girls
Story Backround: Takes place in season 3, after Lewis leaves and after Will finds out about the girls. Try to figure out the rest.
Disclaimer: I don't own H2O, (sadly) But I do, however, own the OCs, Mary, Jessie, Anna, and LeeAnne.
Small Notes: This is my first FanFiction. There will be a Part 2. Please, please review! I really want to know how I did what you guys think of my first fanfic! ;) Based on reviews, I may or may not make this into a small little series of stories. Sorry about any line errors with seperating character point of views. Most will be fixed soon. Sorry if it's A LOT more messed up then I think it is, I'm new at this. But I hope you like it anyway. Enjoy :)
So, you know how they say all stories have humble beginnings? Well… I think this one is an exception.
This story is just… different. It started with mystery, an assignment, curiosity, disagreement, power, and a little hatred thrown into the mix.
Yeah… Sorry 'bout that one…
But still. It's a cool one. It's very… awesome.
And it all started with Anna, Jessie, LeeAnne, and me, Mary.
It's hazy how it all got started, but I think it was because of our school musical.
"Ok everyone! We have NO practice in December. That's not good, because after we get back from break we'll be out of practice. So I'm assigning you rehearsal groups!" Mr. H said. He's our director.
Oh please, I thought, it's not going to work out for everyone, and if he thinks it will, he's crazy. Besides, I was only a singing shell as part of TheLittleMermaid. Big deal.
"You'll have four members in a group. Three actors and one crew. Don't volunteer with certain people if you know it won't work," Mr. H boomed. But LeeAnne stood up and cut him off.
I picked up my water and started to take a sip.
She jumped up and pointed at me and shouted, "Jessie and I are sisters! Plus, Anna and Mary live in our neighborhood. It'll work perfectly! Right, guys?"
Well, at this, I nearly choked to death on my water and almost did a spit take.
Oh no, I thought from the distant crew section, here we go again. This came to my mind when LeAnne stood up and interrupted Mr. H.
"Jessie and I are sisters! Plus, Anna and Mary live in our neighborhood! It'll work perfectly! Right, guys?" is what she blurted out.
Oh gosh. Eyes started turning to me. I hate you LeeAnne, I thought bitterly.
I hate attention. When the spotlight's on me, I go stiff. My mom says it's an "Anna-thing" and I'll get over it. Don't think so. But back to the situation at hand.
And LeeAnne wasn't helping. Loud-mouth LeeAnne is what they called her. And they were right.
But I think I knew someone who hated this even more than me. And that would be Mary.
No one else could probably tell, but Mary had a look on her face, one of true… well, it was a combination of rage, fury, upset, humiliation, and a lot of other things. But it was true.
Almost a year ago, LeeAnne and Mary had a falling out. For some unknown reason, LeeAnne decided to hate Mary and torture her for nothing. That's all I'll say of it. But I guess that's how the populars get their kicks.
But now, I think she regrets it. She's been kind of nice to her lately. And trying to wiggle her way back into Mary's life.
But Mary's not budging at all. I respect her for that. But LeeAnne's persisting. And it's really amusing.
So I could already see this all heading south.
Fast.
"Great idea, LeeAnne. You're all now a group!
Great.
I stomped all the way home with the rage and mortal terror that filled me. The thought of just being in a group with LeeAnne made me feel bad.
I threw open the door of my boathouse home and slammed the door behind me. I dropped my bag and plopped in a chair. I sighed.
"Hey," Will said. He had come up behind me and startled me. "How was school?" Then he saw my face. He brushed a stray blond hair away from it. "What's the matter?"
"Nothing." I really didn't want to talk about it.
But he persisted. "Something's wrong. What is it?"
I spilled. "Mr. H put me and LeeAnne in the same rehearsal group over the month. SHE'S the one who volunteered us for it in the first place," I sighed again.
"Aw, I'm sorry, kiddo. Is there anything I can do?" Will asked, being the good older brother he is.
"No, no, it's fine. I'm mature. I'll handle it," I replied.
He gave a half smile, ruffled my hair, and then walked away.
I love Will. He's the best brother in the entire world. He takes care of me, tells me stories, and plays games with me. We look a lot alike with our blond hair, blue eyes, tan-ness, and tallness. He's my best friend, really. We tell each other everything. But lately, I feel like he's not telling me something. I try to put it to the back of my mind and remember the good. But it's getting harder…
Whatever.
"I'm going for a swim," I called to Will, "I won't be long." I get my love of water from his free-diving self, too.
I didn't even change my clothes. I opened the door, ran out of the boathouse, and dove off the dock.
I hit the water. It felt nice and cool. I stayed still as I sank deeper and deeper into the clear blue water.
When I stopped sinking, I slowly opened my eyes. My mouth slid in to a smile and I started swimming.
This is what I love.
"I can't believe she did that!" I yelled. I was totally mad at the moment.
"Calm down, Jessie," Anna eased, "Just relax." Even though I could tell she wasn't psyched either.
"But seriously, she knows Mary doesn't really like her. Why would she do that?" I was just glad we stayed back and had ditched my sister. I got enough of LeeAnne at home. Maybe we should stop by the Benjamins', ya know, make sure she's ok?" I mused.
"Eh… Not a good idea… I think Bella just walked in," said Anna as we passed their house. She glanced at the water to see a head that belonged to Mary pop up. We waved.
"Yeah, you're right. Plus, I don't want to disturb her swim. She's like a fish in that water." I chuckled.
"Yeah, no wonder she ended up being The Little Mermaid in our musical," said Anna as we saw Mary submerge again.
"Hey!... Guys!... Wait up!"
I froze at the voice. A shrill one that could only belong to…
"So what's up?"
LeeAnne.
"Nothing, just walking," I tried to say it in an annoyed tone that really said Leave us alone.
But she's not going to take the hint, is she?
You're right.
"Cool," she went on. "So, I think we should get together and rehearse tomorrow. Good chance to get started."
"Yeah, LeeAnne, see about that…" I was cut off by her incessant phone ringing.
"Oops, got to run! I'll catch you guys later!" She flipped open her phone and began squealing to whoever it was. What a priss.
Anna must've read my expression. "Oh come on, she's your sister! Lighten up a little. Deep down you love her…" I didn't reply.
Well… I did.
"So then I was like…" My thoughts cut me short, "Shelly, I'll call you back," I snapped my phone closed.
My mouth peeled into a somewhat evil but sincere grin. Finally, I thought, now Mary HAS to spend time with me. Maybe she'll actually start to like me again.
My hope went away. I doubt it though. I mean, seriously what's her problem?
That's when the anger started coming.
We used to be friends and everything. It was always the four of us or just Mary, Jessie, and me. We were always together.
But then something happened. I don't even remember what…
But whatever. Pcht. Her loss. Who needs her anyway? I'm so much better than her anyway. SO HA!
But I wasn't so sure of my statement...
