" No trust me, I look at a bag of chips and gain ten pounds. But I keep telling myself that I still have four months to get a summer body. That's a lot of time."

She laughed softly. I smiled.

A comfortable silence went over our table like a blanket.

"Anyways..." Olivia started.

I took my glass of water and felt the cold liquid slide down my throat.

" Don't you think that the merman is hot?"

I spewed the water from my mouth.

Nearby tables turned around and looked at us with a weirded out look.

I mumbled apologies underneath my breath as I used the napkin to clean the mess I made on the table.

I looked back at Olivia.

She had the curious look on her face, like a child wondering about the wonders of the world.

Except, in this case, it wasn't normal.

" Olivia?! What the heck?!" I cried out, embarrassed.

She looked at me as if she was offended.

"What? Have you seen him? He looks like an Abercrombie and Fitch model. Hell, he may be hotter than all of them"

My eyes widened.

I think this would be a good time to mention that this girl was not boy crazy, but a boy maniac.

" He's not even human! Who knows what he could do to us?"

" That's the thing! With him, it's like Twilight... but a wet version. That's what she said by the way." She winked.

I slammed my head into my hand in disappointment.

This girl.

" So, what do you think?" She asked again, trying to make me cooperate with her.

" I am not answering that question!" I cried out.

She backed away a little into her chair and raised her arms in surrender.

" No need to get offended, I'm not going to make fun of your little fantasies." she teased.

My eyes widened and blood rushed to my face.

" See? You're even blushing! I knew it" she exclaimed.

I looked down in disappointment and sighed.

Olivia was impossible.

When she noticed my expression, she sobered up.

"Fine, we can talk about something else..." Olivia said, slightly upset.

"Thank you!"

" Your welcome," she said with a smile.

I shook my head.

She needs a doctor.

" How are the experiments with the merman though?"

I glared at her slightly.

" I thought we were done with that topic.," I said coldly.

" Just answer my question, Ice Queen," Olivia whined slightly.

" Why are you so curious about him anyway?" I asked.

" You still didn't answer my question!"

I sighed again, in defeat.
