Rikki's Pov

I was at my trailer finishing up my lunch, which was a sanwhich my dad made for me while I was thinking about Emma, Bella and Cleo.

I honestly don't know why Emma would freak out like that. She didn't seem mad when we were talking on the beach so why did she all of a sudden jus blow up? And the fact that she called me a bitch was even worse. Never in my life have I ever heard her say that.

I stated thinking about the situation and how it would feel like if I was Emma. Ya, maybe the necklaces were the thing that made her mad, but still. You wouldn't just get mad over a bunch of stupid necklaces, right? But then kinda thinking about it, those lockets meant a lot to me, Cleo and Emma so maybe it was rude to switch it out for a crystal.

It was all so confusing and I just needed to get my mind off of things. I know the exact place; mako. I left my empty plate on the table and started heading for the beach as to where the cliffy rocks were.

There weren't many people on the beach but I still didn't want to risk my chances by diving into a public place. I was starting to see sand as I entered onto the beach. There was a nice gentle breeze and it wasn't too hot nor cold and it was a great time to swim and get my mind off of things.

It was about a 5 minute walk to the cliffy rocks until I heard something.

"Hey stranger!" I heard the familiar voice as it ran through my head.

Immediately I knew who it was. I turned around to see those big brown eyes, some-what short brown hair while he was wearing a black shirt and some blue jeans; it was Zane.

He had a smile on his face as I saw him run up to me. The least thing I wanted to do was to talk to my ex-boyfriend at a time like this. I didn't respond and just casually kept walking down the beach.

"Hey!" He said once more as he finally was walking along side of me.

At this point it would kinda be impossible to avoid him so I hoped he was just saying hi and would go away.

"Hey." I responded causally, not in a excited tone.

I didn't really want to add more to my sentence since I didn't want to carry on a full conversation with him. Me and Zane were still in that awkward stage of being ex's to friends. He still had that smile on his face while walking aside of me. I don't know why but I always made Zane so bubbly and happy when I was around him.

"Hey, whats up?" He said as he was walking aside of me.

"Oh nothing much, just the same-old same-old." I said trying to stop the whole conversation so he would walk away already.

I just wanted to go out to mako already! I was about 3 minutes away from the place to where I dive into but trying to avoid Zane wouldn't be easy.

"And by that you mean going off to Mako?" He asked with a bigger smile on his face.

"Ya, sure whatever." I said getting annoyed from him.

"Don't you ever get lonely out there?" He asked nudging my arm with his elbow.

I rolled my eyes and started walking a little faster but he still kept up with my pace.

"I always have Bella and Cleo." I said now getting more annoyed.

I don't exactly know what Zane saw in me. Why he liked me so much. Why did he want me back? I mean, I was certainly not the nicest person to him while going out with him for the last month of our relationship and I was certainly not nice to him now.

Plus I could never go back out with Zane again. I still have that clear image in my head. At Will's diving competion, When Will came up out of the surface of the water, that's when I saw it, Zane and Sophie rubbing their lips all over each other. I still sometimes want to slap Zane in the face for doing that.

He obviously still doesn't understand that I don't want him back. I wont ever go back out with him because he first of all ,cheated on me, second of all, never cared about me, and third of all, he had secret meetings with Sophie. Was he doing that because he was seeing Sophie and going out with her behind my back? From this day on I still don't know about that, but there is one thing for sure; going out with Zane again, was not an option anymore.

"So are you meeting Bella and Cleo out at Mako right now?" Zane asked while keeping up at my fast walking pace.

Thinking about Bella and Cleo made me think of Emma and the whole fight. The least thing I wanted to do was think about the fight and Zane mentioning about it was getting on my nerves.

"No." I immediately responded in a upset voice.

Zane just stared at me excepting me to add more to it.

"I'm taking a break from the whole mermaid club." I continued as I finished my sentence.

"So you going out there all alone to Mako? I mean, if it were me, I would get pretty lonely out there. Are sure you couldn't use some company?" He asked with a cheeky smile on his face.

"I'm sure." I responded as I rolled my eyes at him while giving him a serious smile.

That's when I arrived to the rocky cliffs. Unfortunately, Zane was still with me and I haven't gotten rid of him yet.

Soon enough I was walking away from him, going towards the cliffs of the ocean.

"Rikki, wait." I heard him say before I dove into the ocean.

"What do you want Zane. I asked immediately.

At this point he was annoying me so much that I just wanted to slap him.

"Look, maybe you know, we should hang out, maybe just talk. Maybe go out and get something to eat?" He said with a nervous smile.

"Zane, I'm not going on a date with you." I quickly snapped at him.

"No, no, no, that's not I meant. You know, just hang out. As friends?" He paused as I looked at him with a serious face.

"I mean, we are friends… right.?" He asked looking a little nervous from the question he asked me.

I honestly didn't know how to answer the question. I wouldn't exactly consider Zane a friend yet.

"I don't know, I really don't want to talk about this, ok?" I said and before he could respond, I quickly dove into the ocean.

"I could feel Zane grab for me but he wasn't fast enough.. I felt the ocean touch my skin and face as hair let loose in the water. I felt my tail grow and before I knew it I was off to Mako.
