Chapter 2

Cari: Hey Logan. We need to meet up. Like right now.

Logan: Sure is something wrong?

Cari: Not anymore.

Logan: huh?

Cari: Meet me at our spot on the beach.

I hung up. He is going to be asking himself sooooo many questions on the way over.

*Meet up with Logan*

Logan: Whats wrong? You sounded so, I don't know, just different on the phone.

Cari: I know. Sorry. I just want to tell you….or, really, show you something. We are always honest with each other and I really trust you.

Logan: I trust you too ( He added his little half smile at the end of that. I could just die. It doesn't help that hes wearing a tank and board shorts. His muscles are everywhere. I cant concentrate)

Cari: Great! But, I haven't been 100% honest with you. Ive had this secret now for two years and Ive never wanted to tell anyone. And…

Logan: Whatever it is, you can tell me. I will listen!

Cari: And that's why I want to tell you. You deserve to know.

I stood up on the rock we were sitting on. People usually aren't around this side of the beach but I heard laughter and splashing. I was about to sit back down.

Logan: Don't be scared babe just tell me.

Cari: I want to but we have to be alone for ….

Two kids then ran by in the water and continued on down the beach. The water splashed up onto my legs.

Cari: Oh great! ( And with that I ran into the ocean but not before Logan could run after me and grab me around the waist)

Logan: Whats wrong? Where are you going? (He giggled a little, nervous I think)

Cari: This is what I was going to show you and I wanted to take my time doing so but the water splashed me and now….

There was a huge flop sound and there I was on the ground. Logan, sitting beside me. Since a wave had just rolled in he had no idea what was going on. He couldn't see my tail until the water had slowly gone back into the ocean.

Logan: What? Wait is…what?

Cari: Yes, I have a tail. Im a mermaid. And I really trust you and I want you to know why im always running off. I thought maybe I should finally just…..

Logan: Cool! I really never would have expected that to be why you run off but…

Cari: Wait youre ok with this?

Logan: Believe it or not, I am. I mean this is you and I like you and who you are. I feel like, I don't know. I trust you and I really love you. So I imagine that this is something we could work with.

I couldn't help but smile. He kissed me on the cheek and I had him help me get to drier land. We sat in the sun and chatted while I dried off.

Cari: Come on. Lets go to the CafeNet and hang with Ella and Zoe.

Logan: Sure but, aren't there like, water factors there? You cant get wet! We cant risk it. (Oh man, he was getting protective of me. Im screaminngggg in my head right now…happy of course!)

Cari: I know. But uh, before you knew about me I always went to the CafeNet. Its ok!

*CafeNet with everyone*

Ella whispering to Zoe and Riley: Oh here they come. You think he knows?

Zoe: Shes like, beaming with excitement. I think so.

Cari: Hey guys. Did you go for a swim yet?

Ella: Nope not yet. We went back to my place for a bit because my mom called. Would you like to come with us for a swim now?

Logan: Uh you know what? She cant actually. We were going to go for a walk and we were going to that like right now.

Zoe: So, I guess Logan knows?

Riley: Couldn't have made it anymore obvious really.

Logan: Knows what?

Luke –walking over-: Hey Logan, haven't seen you around in awhile. You girls going for a swim?

Logan: They might. But Cari and I are actually going for a walk so, well see you later.

Everyone got up from the table and just giggled. We all walked out of the Net.

Zoe: Nah, shes going to come for a swim. Come on Cari.

Cari: Logan, hahahaha. Just follow us.

*At the Shore*

Logan: Cari come sit back here with me.

I just ran straight for the water with Ella and Zoe. I could hear Logan freaking out. He actually might be running after me.

Logan: Are you CRAZY? (The three of us girls turned around, waited, and then turned into mermaids. Luke and Riley grabbed Logan while we all cracked up laughing.)

Riley: Jokes on you buddy!

Logan: Wait. Seriously? All three of you?

Luke: Yep all three of them. Don't worry, shes in good hands.

Riley: Welcome to the group! Its about time Cari told you.

For the next few hours we just sat and talked. About everything. We told Logan everything about us and how we found out about ourselves.

Logan: I want you two (luke and riley) to make a promise with me. These girls trust us with their secret and there is so much of their lives that's unanswered. From this day forward, we will do everything in our power to help you girls out to figure out exactly what happened to you, Zoe and Ella. And where exactly you, Cari, come from and who your real family is.

Luke: I agree with you. I promise!

Riley: Ya, sure, I promise too.

Cari: Seriously? Aw guys.

Zoe: And so, the search about ourselves begins!
