Chapter 15
The girls were at the gym along with the rest of the class.
-This weekend we'll be having a field trip to MAKO island.-said the couch.
There were a lot of whispers.
-And there will be no exceptions!-he said as he left.
-MAKO? We can't let people go to MAKO!-said Layla. The girls and Timmy and Nabu were in a circle.
-If they find out about our secret…-(Flora)
-Well, you heard him, no exceptions.-said Nabu.
-Well, I guess we'll be going to MAKO right now.-said Tecna-Hurry up, we'll meet you there in an hour!
….
In about an hour, the girls, Timmy and Nabu were at MAKO
They covered the land entrance with a lot of rocks.
-And now, how about a swim?-asked Layla.
-I should get going.-said Musa.
-Yeah, me too.-said Flora.
-Well, I have a project.-said Tecna disappointed.
-No you don't.-said Musa.
-But I…-(Tecna).
-…want to swim. We know.-said Stella-I'm going too.
-I'll join them, bye!-said Bloom as they swam away, leaving Tecna, Timmy, Layla and Nabu.
-Well, are we going or what, come on!-yelled Layla running in the sea with Nabu behind her.
Tecna and Timmy got inside the water too.
They were swimming.
After a while, Timmy and Tecna got out of the water, Timmy helped her get out and now they were lying on the sand.
-It was fun.-she said.
-Yeah.-he said.
-We should do it again sometimes.-said Tecna.
-We should.-said Timmy.
-You know, you're special.-said Timmy.
-Timmy, just because I'm a mermaid it means I'm special.-said Tecna as she-since she was dry now-ran to sea and jumped in.
-I didn't mean you're special that way.-mumbled Timmy.
On the other side of the beach were Layla and Nabu.
-It's really cool what you can see underwater when you're with a mermaid.-he said.
-Well, being a mermaid has a lot of cool stuff to it.-said Layla.
-Layla, don't get me wrong, but you are amazing and I don't mean the mermaid part, I mean sure that's amazing too, but you are great.-he said.
-Thanks.-she said. They kissed.
-I think it's time to get going.-said Layla as she stood up and ran to the sea-Call me when you get back!
…..
Layla got back to the dorm to find Tecna nervously working on her laptop, Musa and Stella doing their homework and Bloom reading something, probably another book from the library.
-Hey what's up?-asked Layla.
No one responded.
-Ok.-she sat down on the couch.
-Great news!-Flora burst in through the front door-I got a job at the café!
-Great!-said Layla.
-Yeah but you need to be careful, juice=spillage and spillage=tail.-said Tecna.
-Don't worry I can handle it.-said Flora.
-Are you guys up for a slumber party?-asked Layla.
-I'm busy.-said Tecna.
-And I have a date with Riven.-said Musa.
-I have a date too.-said Stella.
-Me too.-said Bloom.
-Ok, well, I guess it's only me and Flora. Right Flo?-asked Layla.
-Actually, I kinda have a date with Helia.-said Flora.
-Don't you have a date Layla?-asked Stella.
-Well in difference of you, we don't have a date every day!-said Layla.
-Ok well, let's get going.-said Bloom as the girls left. Tecna got in her room.
-Great. It's just me all alone, talking to myself!-said Layla.
…
The other day the students were going on their field trip to MAKO. They were gathered in front of the school. The girls had a lot of towels with them.
-Is everyone here?!-said the couch.
There were a few 'yes' from the students.
-Good. Let's go. We have a few small boats, just enough for all the students to fit in.-said the couch.
-Excuse me couch, six girls are missing.-said Sky.
-Not my problem, if they want to come they'll have to come on another way, otherwise their grades will fall.-said the couch.
They got to MAKO only to find the girls there.
-How did you come here?-asked Sky as he gave Bloom a peck on the cheek.
-A friend dropped us off earlier.-said Bloom.
They started going around the island, sight-seeing.
They got to the waterfall part.
-I remember this place.-said Brandon.
The couch started walking through the water.
-We can't go.-said Musa.
-Why, it's just a little water.-said Riven.
-But, there may be some…fish.-said Bloom.
-Come on Bloom, it's just harmless fish.-said Sky.
-No!-said Bloom when Sky tried dragging her to the water.
-Actually, why don't you guys go, I need to go to the bathroom and the girls will wait for me.-said Layla.
-Ok.-said Sky as they started passing through the water.
Helia kissed Flora's hand before he left after the others.
-Are they gone?-asked Layla looking at their direction-Good.
-What's your plan?-asked Flora.
-Well, I'll create little rocks from the water, and Tecna will freeze them. We'll just pass by stepping on them.-said Layla.
They did what she said and everyone passed, Bloom was last. Layla and Tecna forgot that she was still passing, so they released the water-frozen rocks and they turned back into water, so Bloom splashed inside.
After a while, the girls noticed that Bloom is missing.
-Where is Bloom?-asked Sky.
-Uh, she's uh…-(Flora).
-Going to the bathroom.-said Stella.
-For 20 minutes?-he asked.
-Yeah.-said Flora.
The girls glared at Tecna and Layla. Timmy and Nabu took the girls aside.
-What happened?-whispered Timmy.
-Layla and I made water-frozen rocks to pass the river and we kind of forgot that Bloom was still crossing…-said Tecna.
-You left her there?!-asked Nabu-People could see her!
-I know, we're gonna go back.-said Layla.
They saw Sky running back.
-Oh no.-said Layla.
-Come on!-Musa started running after him and so did the others.
They weren't that lucky, because Sky was almost there.
-Sky wait!-yelled Flora, but he didn't hear her.
He got to the river and stopped in his tracks. The girls caught up to him.
-Bloom?-he asked. She was still in her mermaid form.
-Here.-Tecna passed her a towel.
Bloom dried off.
-We have to catch up with the others, come on.-said Stella as they all accept Bloom and Sky left.
-When were you gonna tell me?-he asked.
-I'm sorry Sky but the girls and I made a promise that we won't tell anyone.-said Bloom-I wanted to tell you but, there's this mermaid hunter and we have to be alert.
-Riven? Is he the mermaid hunter you're talking about?-asked Sky.
Bloom nodded.
-So all of you are mermaids. It has to be, you all couldn't pass the waterfall.-said Sky.
-Sky, are you gonna tell someone?-asked Bloom.
-Of course not! You know I wouldn't hurt you!-he kissed her.
-I'll explain the other stuff you need to know about mermaids later, right now we need to catch up to the others.-said Bloom.
Author's note
I'm gonna make a break with this story cuz I feel like I'm too pushy and I don't really think the chapters are great. I'm gonna continue writing the story in September. I'm really sorry, but by then I hope all my chapters will be done and I'll send them. In the meantime I'll post a few stories I have in mind. Thanks for reading my story and tanks for the reviews, I'll finish this story this fall!
