Chapter 5
Emma was packing up, Ash came to her.
"What now Ash?" Emma said in a annoyed tone.
"Oh, sorry to bother you. But you promised me, the date", Ash whispered in her ear.
Emma's eyes widen. She totally forgot about it.
"Oh, right. The date. Ash, I would love to go, but I can't", Emma said.
Ash looked hurt. "But why? You promised Emma," Ash said.
Emma had no words. But she had to figure out more about Mcbeth.
"Sorry Ash. Rikki made a friend. She is Charlotte's cousin. Something about her doesn't feel right, maybe next week", Emma tried to explain.
Ash turned his head and left, he already had enough.
Emma left the juice net and headed towards Rikki's beach house. Everyone was there, even Mcbeth.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late", Emma said.
"Its ok, Em", Rikki said.
Mcbeth was talking to Cleo and Bella. She turned to Emma as she walked by.
"Why were you late, Emma", Mcbeth said.
Emma tried to find her words, but nothing came out.
Mcbeth stood up. "I'm so sorry. But mother Anderson wants me home. I will see you darlings tomorrow", Mcbeth said.
After Mcbeth left, The girls ran in the ocean and swam off to Mako Island. Emma was behind, usually she was in front beating Rikki in a swim race, but not this time.

If Emma keeps on staying away, Mcbeth might steal her friends.
Bella, Cleo, and Rikki were chatting about teen stuff, while Emma trailed off in her thoughts
