OK guys I have NOT gotten the review turn out I'd been hoping for.

So what I would really appreciate (and this may sound strange) But I'm DYING for some constructive critism. Not exactly a flame, but just if you don't like the story, I'd like to know what's wrong so that I am able to go back, edit and improve. If you think something seems off PLEASE let me know

Anyways here is Chapter 4…

And DON'T BE SCARED BY THE WORD COUNT, I left a really long authors note at the end of this explaining my new Question of The Day thing I know that you guys will like ;)

"Well 'Mum'," I spoke to my mother in a British accent to my mother when we got back to the hotel "Where are we going first?"

"First, I was kind of thinking we could stay in the hotel? Order some room service and relax? Maybe later we'll go out for dinner I saw a nice little restaurant not far from here.

"Sounds interesting, but I was really hoping we could do some sight-seeing. I saw some interesting places and Suzy mentioned a few interesting places to visit while we were here.

"We'll get to that Mel, I promise, but I just ran into some old friends and things are kind of happening way too fast," My mother gave me a tired look as she sat down on her bed. I figured I would send her some pity.

"Sure, it's fine Mom," I smiled at her, she smiled back. I then proceeded to look out the glass doors that lead to a balcony outside.

"Mom, can I ask you something?"

"Anything Mel," My mother sighed sweetly. I turned to face her, nervously trying to approach the question that had been bugging me.

"What are you hiding from me?" My mother's eyes went wide and she went to say something but I cut her off, "Please don't say 'Nothing' or please don't make up any lies. I want the truth mom; I've wanted the truth for 13 years,"

"Melanie, it's not that simple-" My mother began; she stood up from the bed and started walking towards me.

"Mom it's so incredibly simple!" I felt my voice beginning to rise, but I saw the startled look on my mother's face and lowered my voice "I just want to know. What happened here? In England, in that mysterious boarding school that I have never heard one inkling about!"

My mother sighed and held her head in her hands. She nervously twirled the silver charm bracelet, I had never seen her once take off, around her wrist and then looked up at me.

"I went to the boarding school when I was in the 10th grade. Your grandparents had died when I was 7, and your Great Gran thought it would be good if I went to the school where my father had always dreamed of going, but had never gotten into," My mom just talked about my grandparents. I knew they were a touchy subject for her.

"So you came to school here in England then?" She nodded "Why didn't you just tell me?"

"Look Melanie, I'm a bit tired right now, I'm gonna take a nap before I have to go back to the museum, but tomorrow's Monday and the Museum will be closed so we can go out and spend the whole day together. How does that sound?"

"Fine. Can I at least have my phone back? I want to ask Suzy where some cool places to go around here are," She sighed and dug in her pocket for my phone.

"I'm going to let you have it back for the rest of the trip, but one wrong move missy and I'll snatch it back from you," She gave me a stern stare but her expression then softened and she smiled, "Don't go too far, you don't really know your way around here yet."

"You got it, dude" I smiled and gave her a thumbs up. She laughed remembering our obsession with Full House last year. Every night before bed we would watch an episode. For her birthday, I bought her the complete boxed set of all 8 seasons.

She gave me a thumbs up back and went to go take her nap. Grabbing my bag and swinging it over my right shoulder, I proceeded to text Suzy.

I didn't get a reply right away so I wandered around the hotel for a bit. I came to a really grand dining hall. Like really fancy-shmancy stuff. Chandelier and candle-sticks and angels on the ceiling fancy.

"Excuse me miss, no loitering." A very tall British man with a bright look in his green eyes said smiling at me. I shrugged my bag onto my left shoulder and nodded my head, pushing some stray black locks behind my ears.

"Sorry, I didn't mean-" I began to apologize as the man's expression changed. His nose wrinkled as though he had smelled something foul.

"Of course, Americans," he grumbled "Very well then, out!" He pointed towards the exit as I hurried along "This room is for the use of parties only, I hope I do not have to see you in here again."

"Rude much?" I whispered under my breath. I decided I would explore the area around the hotel. I saw the entrance to a park a few blocks down and decided to walk there. I felt my iPhone vibrate in my pocket, it was a text from Suzy.

Looking for fun places to tour hmm? How about we go shopping!

I felt a shiver run through my spine. I had a feeling shopping with Suzy would not be the best thing to be doing at the moment.

Shopping's not really my thing Suze. I found a park, I'm gonna take a walk if you want to join me.

The park on 42nd Avenue?

I checked the street sign to make sure that was the correct address.

That's the one.

Ok if I come by car it'll take me 5 minutes…do you think I have time to change outfits?

Just get here whenever, K?

Gotcha Mel ;) I'll txt you when I get there

KayKay

I had finally crossed 42nd Avenue and entered through the park entrance. I smiled at how similar it was to the park in my own town. Families playing, kids running, people jogging or walking their dogs. The only difference was the tones of the voices in the air were heavy British accents. Very different then the New Yorker accents I was used to hearing.

I found myself lost in a train of thought when I heard someone call out behind me, "Watch Out!"

I turned just in time to see a boy riding on his skateboard slam straight into me. I fell over and landed on my butt.

"Hey, watch where the hell your going!" I screamed at the boy who had flown through the air, luckily landing on the grass. I got up and brushed away the dirt on my knee caps. I then went over to the fallen kid.

He had rusty blonde hair that was gelled upward and a round face. He was wearing a plaid black and white shirt and baggy jeans which were definitely a big no-no for skateboarding. You'll easily trip wearing baggy jeans. He wore black Nike's on his feet and red beats around his neck along with a puka necklace. He apparently had been wearing a grey beanie also, but it had fallen a good foot away from him after he fell.

"Umm could you not yell at me? My head's kind of spinning here," He said slowly pushing himself up to his elbows and wiping off the grass stains on them.

"Well you should take caution where you're going," I crossed my arms over my chest as he looked up at me with these gorgeous brown eyes.

"Well you should take caution where you're going," he mimicked my American accent laughing and pulling himself up to his feet. I rolled my eyes, taking back that 'gorgeous brown eyes' comment I had just made in my head.

"Whatever," I replied not thinking of anything else to say "Just be careful where your headed next time,"

"Yea, I wouldn't want to run into any feisty Americans again," he laughed again and I just raised my eyebrow at him. He stopped laughing and held out his hand for a shake.

"Sorry, I'm just playing around. I'm Jason. Jason Sweet." He gave this cocky grin and winked at me. I smiled smugly at him.

"What a contrasting name to your personality," I turned around and picked up his skateboard to hand it to him.

"Well what's your name little miss sunshine?" He asked getting defensive. I opened my mouth to reply when I heard Suzy shout from behind us.

"I'm-"

"Melanie!" I sighed as I heard someone call from behind me and Jason smiled. Suzy ran up behind me and gave me a hug, then looking over to Jason gave a puzzled look.

"Jason?" She looked at me and then back at Jason "What are you doing here?"

"You know him?" I asked incredulously "He just ran me over with his skateboard."

"Hey, I didn't run you over Sunshine. You were in my way and I called for you to watch out."

"If you haven't inferred with that probably peanut sized brain of yours, my name is Melanie." I felt my fists clench, getting fed up with this boy by the second.

"I'm hearing words coming out of your mouth Sunshine, but I can't quite understand them. Must be that daft American accent." This boy was really pushing it now.

"Well-" I took a step towards him but Suzy pushed us apart.

"Stop fighting! I've only been here five minutes and you both look like you're going to throw fists t each other," Suzy tried to dispel the tension.

"I bet Sunshine here couldn't hit me hard enough if she tried," Jason rolled his eyes and crossed his arms over his chest.

"You want to test that theory of yours?" I felt my fists clenching again but Suzy held me back.

"Look fighting's not going to get you two anywhere and let's face it you're probably going to be seeing a lot of each other in the next week," Suzy explained.

"Why?" Jason questioned "I figured this would be the first, and hopefully last, time I would have to see her," He looked me up and down and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Yea, who is he?" I was equally confused. Suzy crossed her arms over her chest.

"I'm not telling either one of you until you apologize," She said sternly, looking at both of us. We both stared at each other.

"Fine," I was shocked to hear him be the first to back down. He held his hand out towards mine "I was just playing around, sorry I ran into you."

I sighed and grabbed his hand to shake it. It was cold, but had a warm feeling to it "And I'm sorry for making a big deal out of it,"

Suzy smiled and clapped her hands "OK guys, Jason, this is Melanie Martin. Melanie, this is Jason Sweet," I nodded my head at her and she just stared at me expectantly with her hazel eyes and smiled.

"And this explains who he is how?..." I waited for an explanation.

"Oh, well I don't know if you remember at breakfast but my Mum mentioned some of the kids our parents used to go to school with," Suzy explained and then pointing at Jason said "Jason here, happens to be the son of Eddie and Patricia Sweet. Or I like to call them Aunt Trixie and Uncle Ed,"

"You know they both hate those nicknames," Jason said and Suzy just smiled and nodded at him "Well anyways, how do you know Sunshine here?"

"Please stop calling me Sunshine!"

"Nah, I think it suits you," He gave me this lopsided grin and I just rolled my eyes, annoyed, yet smiled back at him.

"Well, anyways," Suzy started "Melanie happens to be the daughter of somebody else who went to boarding school with our parents. Did either of yours ever mention a Nina Martin?"

Jason looked down for a second to think "I don't think so, but Mum and Dad haven't talked about school in forever. I mean maybe once the name came up…but I'm not sure. Martin is a really common name,"

"I know, it gets really annoying. But yea we've pretty much established that my mom has wiped off her history in England from the face of the earth just as your 'Mums and Dads' have wiped her off," I complained. I hated the fact that this whole thing was so secretive.

"We'll figure it out eventually Mel. But for now, were off!" Suzy said dragging me by the arm. I looked at Jason giving him a questioning look. He shrugged his shoulders at me smiling and then saluted at me as he turned around and got on his skateboard.

"Off to where?" I got a bit nervous as I saw a crazed glare in her eyes.

"Shopping!"

So yea, it's taken me FOREVER to update this but don't worry, I'll start updating them a lot sooner!

For those of you reading this and liking the plot line, reviews really motivate me to write faster (Ehh? Ehhhh?)

I thought this particular chapter was quite long, I edited a BUNCH of times so it would be perfect, but I always manage to get something wrong…

Oh and there's this new thing I'm going to be doing:

So every time I update this story from now on, I'll be asking a question. It might be a personal question or an informational question. Now if you get the question right, or if you have the best response to a question(i.e. Funny, interesting, informational) You will win:

1.A Dedication in the next updated chapter
2.A Favorite Author + (if you have an account)
3.I will read your stories and you can choose one for me to give a shoutout to when I update this(if you have an account)

And MY personal favorite:
4. If you have a one-shot idea (or two-shot if it has potential) that you want to give me, I'll do my best to write it for you!

This last one works a little differently though. In order for me to write the one-shot, you have to get my BONUS RIDDLE. Which most of the time is going to be kind hard-ish but you guys are smart so I'm sure you'll get it!

So the FIRST question of the day IS:

When is Brad Kavanagh's Birthday?

(Most of you will probably just look this up online, but for those of you who knew it off the top of your head, Kudos to you!

And the BONUS riddle is:

Some months have 30 days, while others have 31. Which month(s) have 28 days?

So good luck! And since the first question is informational, the first person to answer it wins the dedication/Author +/Shoutout and the first person to get the riddle wins all that PLUS the oneshot (If they want it)

Hope you enjoyed!
