Just a quick update: I will include a character from H2o Just Add Water but I'm not changing the status to a crossover because she wasn't a big character and I will adapt her and give her most of her personality. Thanks for reading!

Swim Safely

~SammieNel

Cam's P.O.V.

My alarm beeped obnoxiously next to me. The snooze button was so tempting but I couldn't be late to school again. One more tardy would get me into detention.

I groggily dragged myself out of bed and pulled the first pair of shorts and shirt that I laid my eyes on; I didn't care if they matched.

I was out all night with Nixie, and all we did was swim until it felt like my fins were going to fall off.

The corals were beautiful and filled with hundreds of different colored fish that were all shapes and sizes. Even though the sights took his breath it wasn't his favorite part, being with Nixie was. The entire time while they were swimming my hand was woven tightly into hers, in fear that we would drift away.

After we couldn't swim another meter, Nixie led me back to Rita's Grotto. I pulled myself from the water and dried myself off. The pain wasn't as bad as the first transformation that I had but it still caused me to cringe in pain.

According to Nixie, my transformations will hurt less and less each time as my body learns to accept the new magical energy.

I snapped myself back into the present, now fully dressed for the day I was out the door. I said a quick good-bye to my mum and little sister and walked down to the café.

I spotted Zac from across the restaurant and slowly made my way over to him, I wasn't exactly sure if I was forgiven yet.

I cleared my throat and Zac looked up from his seafood omelet, "Can I sit?"

"Sure." He replied with his mouth still full of egg and prawns.

Carly came by and picked up Zac's empty plate, "Can I get you anything Cam?"

"Seafood omelet would be great." For some reason I was craving fish, it must have been from the merman thing.

"Now you can't make fun of me for eating so much seafood all the time." Zac said with a smirk.

"Hey, hey. You've gotta give me a chance to get used to this," I lowered my voice, "You've been a fish for five months. I only grew my fins yesterday. Cut me a break."

"Sorry, sorry. It's just a new idea for me to." He threw his hands up in surrender and laughed. Then all of a sudden the smile faded from his face, I twisted around to see what his was looking at and caught the glare that Evie was giving him.

"What happened between you two?" I prodded.

"She found out that the other night I didn't change back and decided she wanted to break it off. She'd rather date a normal guy." Zac said, his voice lacking the joking tone he had only seconds before.

"I guess that means you and I are both in the same boat now. You have Lyla and I have Nixie." I tried to cheer him up.

Carly came by and placed my breakfast in front of me.

"There is nothing going on between us!" He replied in a harsh whisper, "Besides she isn't interested in me."

"Oh yes she is! You are so clueless." I said with a bit of a snort.

"You think so?" Zac asked hopefully.

"Absolutely."

"And should I ask her out?"

"I don't see why not."

A new kind of happiness filled Zac and his face turned a bright pink.

I glanced at my watch and practically jumped out of my seat. "We have to go! We're gonna be late!" School started in 15 minutes!

We ran (literally) all the way to Suncoast High and made it into our biology class just in time for the tardy bell to ring. Instead of our normal teacher at the front of the class, Ms. Santos was there.

"Good morning everyone!" She said a little to cheerily for a biology class.

The class mumbled a pathetic response. But at least we tried.

"This morning we have a special treat: We have a guest speaker coming in to talk about following a career in marine biology! She has worked not only here on the Gold Coast but in oceans all around the world and she will be sharing some of her everyday life and some of the amazing discoveries that she has made. So, class, may I introduce Dr. Linda Denman."
