AN: Hi…Thanks everyone for reviewing. I thought I'd give a quick answer.
When it comes to my grammar; English isn't my native language and I'm still trying to learn. If you spot an error in my language please tell me what it is so I can learn ;)
I try to update as often as I can but sometimes it's hard.

The rest of Christmas break wasn't that much fun since everyone was at different places doing different things. Me myself was in my room drinking bucket loads of tea while planning the next tea party. It was my time to decide and I wanted to do something big and exceptionally awesome. But coming up with something big and exceptionally awesome isn't always that easy... I pondered it for a good while. I thought about it for days and just before school was about to start again, I had gotten a completely genius idea. At least I thought it was.
~~
I picked up Cat outside her house at seven. She was practically beaming as she gave me a big hug.
"How was Christmas break? I asked her awkwardly as she stepped back.
"I went to visit my uncle and uncle!" Cat explained. I already knew that though, because she had told me before she went. "It was so much fun!" She jumped into a long ramble in which she told me every little detail of her holiday, stopping once in a while for one of those little giggles.
I listened patiently even though I can admit I got kind of tired after a couple of minutes. But I didn't want to interrupt her because I knew she wouldn't like that, and I wanted her to be in a good mood. After driving for about twenty minutes I pulled over. We were in the middle of pacific coast highway, on a small little viewpoint facing the sea.
"The ocean!" Cat yelled out. "I love the ocean!"
I chuckled. "Yeah, I figured you'd say that."
She giggled and climbed out of the car and I smiled before starting to get the tea out of my bag.
"Please have a seat." I said formally and motioned towards the hood of my car. She climbed upon it. "Tonight we're serving raspberry tea, a lovely sweet taste sensation."
She giggled at my little act and I started pouring the tea into our cups, the pink her-cup for Cat and the purple him-one for me.
"I climbed up on the hood of my car as well and sat down next to her, looking out over the ocean listening to the waves as they clashed into the cliffs below us."
"Don't you think it's beautiful?" I asked and she nodded.
"What if we see a mermaid?" she said drawing an exited breath as she looked out over the water, as if she was expecting to see one jumping out of the waves just then.
"There's..." I caught myself mid sentence. I was about to say there was no such thing as mermaids but if she wanted to believe it, I wasn't going to stop her.
"There are a lot of clouds out." I said instead. "That means there is a big chance we'll see one. I heard they like to show themselves on nights like these." I motioned towards the sky to really make her believe me, and I think she did.
"Really?" She said, beaming.
I nodded, slightly wondering if I had taken it too far. She would probably be devastated if we didn't see any mermaids now.
I sipped my tea and looked over at Cat, she had her eyes fixed on the water and was drinking from her cup very slowly. I didn't say anything, just kept watching her as she scouted for mermaids while the sky slowly darkened.
After a while I got bored, I was pretty sure we weren't going to see any mermaids and I figured this wasn't even half as much fun for me as it was for Cat. That was when I remembered I had brought the guitar. I jumped of the hood and walked around my car to get it.
"Robbie, where did you go?" I heard Cat yell.
"I'm right here behind the car!" I shouted back and she giggled.
"Kaykay!"
I came back and crawled up to sit beside her again.
"Oh a guitar!" She clapped her hands together, smiling widely.
"Yep! Do you... uh… want to sing something?" I asked her as I wiggled my eyebrows suggestively. I could practically see how the wheels in her head started spinning as she thought. It took her a good while so I started playing a few chords at random as she pondered.
"That's pretty, what song is that?" She asked me and I stopped playing, looking up at her.
"Uh... No song... Just random chords." I said and she smiled, tucking the red hair behind her ear.
"Play them again..."
I started playing and she bobbed her head along with the music while giggling lightly.
Suddenly I had an idea and I started humming a melody to the chords I was playing. Then I put in some lyrics.
"Here we are me and Cat.
Looking for some mermaids, how cool is that?"
She giggled loudly and clapped her hands. "Do more!"
"And we're gonna drink some tea from our awesome cups.
It's our favourite thing to do and we're never gonna stop!"
I played it over and over and after a while Cat joined in and we sat together singing the peculiar little song for a while. Our voices mixed together perfectly and once in a while you could hear the sea as it hit the rocks way below us. As we sung the sky got darker and big clouds were rolling in. We were too caught up with the singing that we didn't even notice and just as we were about to sing the song for probably the 15th time, a loud thunderclap was heard and Cat screeched.
I put down the guitar and looked up at the sky which had grown quite dark during the time we had been there.
The thunder boomed once again and Cat jumped. She looked terrified and she was looking up at the sky anxiously.
"Robbie, the thunder scares me." She said weekly and I looked at her. She looked so small and week.
I wasn't sure what exactly to say to her so instead I just grabbed her hand to reassure her that she was safe. I think it helped because I could feel her body loosen up a little and she smiled weakly at me.
"Let's go home." I said just as the first raindrop hit my forehead.
A minute later the rain was pouring down and we were soaked before we even had the time to collect all of our things from the hood of the car and get inside it. When we got inside we sat in silence for a while, listening to the raindrops clattering on the roof of the car. It was a peaceful sound. I had always loved it. The thunder was loud now and it boomed once again. Cat whimpered a little so I took her hand again and squeezed it.
"I don't like the rain right now." She said gloomily.
"Oh come on... It's pretty cosy. And we had fun, right?" I asked, looking at her to see if she was going to wipe the frown off her face. After a while it slipped off and she looked me in the eyes smiling slightly.
I looked right back into hers, and for a moment I think I got lost in them. They were just so deep and the color was so pretty. The effect of them together with the clatter of the rain was almost hypnotizing. And the most amazing thing was that she was actually looking back into my eyes too.
After what felt like an hour, but was probably only like a couple of seconds Cat broke the silence.
"Too bad we didn't see any mermaids." And her frown was back.
I chuckled.
"There's always other times."
~~
"Hey guys!" I said as I walked over to Tori and Andre who were chatting casually by Tori's locker. It was the first day of the new semester, and just to prove that I could do it, I had gone without Rex.
"Oh, hey Robbie." Tori greeted me. She was looking really pretty, just as always and she was smiling widely as I approached them.
"Guess what!" Andre said. "There's a new student in our class."
A new student? This could get really interesting. I hadn't been through a lot of new student situations. The most recent one was Tori, and there was no lie in saying that it turned out great. I hoped it would be just as good this time.
"Really, who?"
"She's an exchange student from England." Tori explained. "Her name's Sky."
"Cool!" I said. It sounded good, so far.
"I bet she's a dream girl. A piece of smoking hot salmon." Andre exclaimed with a dreamy look on his face and Tori punched him lightly in the shoulder.
"Easy there boy." She chuckled.
"Do they even have salmon in England?" I asked just as Beck and Jade came over to us.
"What's up?" Beck said as he placed himself and Jade, whom he had his arm around, between me and Andre.
"Apparently there's a new student from England in our class." I said and Jade groaned, she really never seemed to be able to take anything other than in a negative way.
"What's wrong with people from England?" Tori asked.
"Jade had to spend the whole holiday with her mom's English cousin and her daughter." Beck explained.
"And It was not a pleasant experience." Jade continued between gritted teeth.
Andre chuckled a little while Tori furrowed her eyebrows and turned away slightly from Jade.
"Well. I think it's exciting and I think we should make her feel at home." Tori said, crossing her arms as if to say that no one could change her mind. She really can't stand not getting what she wanted.
"Make who feel at home." We all turned around to see Cat coming over.
"Hey Little Red!" Andre greeted and we chimed in with our own hellos."
Tori told Cat about the new student and Cat seemed to be just as excited as all of us were, with the exception for Jade who wasn't excited at all.
I really wanted to meet the new student. English people were nice, they had awesome accents, and after all, England was the country of Tea. And that couldn't be bad. Because. Let's be honest. I love tea!
We all sat down in Sikowitz's classroom but as he begun the class, no new student could be seen. I looked around desperately to see if there were any new faces in the class. Hopefully hot, as Andre had expressed earlier. But it was just the same old people there.
Suddenly the door flew open and a boy stood panting in the room.
"Hello." He said and the British accent caused everyone to stare. "I'm sorry I'm late. I couldn't find my way."
No one was saying a thing. The classroom was for once in complete silence as we looked at the boy.
"Everybody, this is Sky. He's a new student." Sikowitz explained as he pulled Sky into the room, a big smile on his face. Suddenly Jade snorted loudly.
"But... you're a boy!"
AN: So what do you think about this one? You may tell me in a review if you like. Otherwise you can just not do it. But it makes me happy.
We'll see when the next chapter is up :)
