Love hurts a Luxray

[justify]Alex: "No-Anna!" Alex said, just below a shout as she raced in to attack the ghostly figure, head on by herself. To their surprise, the attack didn't even faze the ghost whatsoever.

Just as soon as the mysterious man had reveiled himself to be a girl playing a prank in disguise, Alex was relieved that he didn't need to deal with more than one thing at once. He took Anna by the shoulder, opposite of him, and stood close by her, at the same time wondering why a ghost was doing there and what it wanted.

It was also really strange that it didn't try to hurt them, at all. It didn't even move for that matter. He was examining it with his eyes at a fairly good distance where he and Anna stood, not wanting to intrude on its private space if it even cared. He even tried using x-ray vision but to no avail, found nothing. It was just very odd. He had absolutely no clue of what to do. "What should we do about our little ghost friend?" he asked, looking to everyone else who was there until Zack came out.

Zack: He stepped out into the hallway where a few others were standing, including Shade. Alex was the first person he saw across the hallway and standing beside his brother was that same familiar girl from earlier from on top of the roof.

Zack wondered why they were together...or still together anyway from when the girl, what was her name again? oh right, Anna he thought to himself, the one who had gone after Alex to ask what happened and where he was going.

Then he noticed a not-quite-solid person amoung them. His body tensed. His brother had seen him come out of the room but said nothing. All he did was give him a look that Zack already knew what it meant without needing any words.[/justify]

Shade watch the two brothers exchange looks, amused. 'hm..brotherly love?' She wonders, smirking at the three, but was taken aback when Hex suddenly, and swiftly, stood beside Zack in a defending manner. 'Why would Hex do this...' A thin eye brow rose considerable high, surprised at her friend's action. But a smirk played at her lips once more at the sudden thought that came to mind. 'Unless...' She giggles, then remembering Hex's fears. It was strange that a strong, and determined girl like her was afraid of things that werent human. Even the smallest of spiders can get her to jump.

Hex watched the two give each other looks. She scowls at her guilty ridden heart, and swiftly ran out of the classroom before standing beside Zack. Making eye contact with the eldest of the two, she swallows. "Before you yell at him, I just want to say it was my fault!" She paused before continuing. "I-I distracted him from his cleaning, and held him back. P-Please don't yell at him.." Hex asked, lowering her head slightly. Though she was tremendously confused about the situation. 1st of all, why was she defending him? 2nd of all, she barely knew him in the first place! Maybe a few accidents in the halls, but nothing personal. and lastly, why was there a ghost in the middle of the hallway...? Hex blinks noticing the blurry figure herself before taking a step back in fear. Sure, it didn't seem much harm, but the thought of a ghost being there...was just scary! An audible gulp was heard from her, but she stood her ground, trying to ignore the presence of the ghost.

[justify]Alex: Alex was surprised as the other from behind Zack came out, went over to him, and said not to punish Zack for staying late at school, that it was her fault. It also surprised Zack, according to what his face expression said. He smiled at her. "What makes you think I'm going to do something to Zack? I was only looking for him because I was worried. Besides, he's my brother. I would never hurt my brother, only scare him sometimes I do," Alex chuckled. "And are you Zack's new girlfriend? I'm kidding," he said as he petted her head gently while pulling Anna in closer to him with his hand that was already wrapped around her far shoulder. Now that Anna was positioned in front of him, both his arms wrapped around her front. He looked back at the others. "As I was saying, what are we going to do with our little ghost problem?"

Zack: Zack didn't say or do anything as his brother explained his reason for being there. He didn't even look away but when Alex mentioned girlfriend, Zack went wide-eyed and then looked away to hide his blushing. He knew that his brother already knew he was hiding it. Then he went back to his normal state when the subject was changed.[/justify]

Hex felt blood rush to her cheeks when she was told that he wasent going to...punish him. 'How embarrassing..' She thought looking downwards, but she didnt expect the next line. "And are you Zack's new girlfriend? I'm kidding," Her eyes widen, and her face turned flaming red. "e-eh..." Not sure what to say, she just peers away until she heard Shade's snickering. "u-uh...um...shut up!" Hex cries, hitting Shades head, causing her to flinch. 'this is really embarrassing...!' She thought, not wanting to look at Zack's face. She never was told this, and teased, most boys thought she was unlovable.."As I was saying, what are we going to do with our little ghost problem?" Hex looks at the eldest sibling with much thought. "Its not like it will go away...maybe it likes it there?" She said, until Shade interrupted. "Pfft..! Likes it here? in the school? What are you the ghost whisperer?!" Shade began to laugh comically, hysterical tears flowing from her. "and haha you being his girlfriend, now thats a story to be told-!!" But before she could continue any longer, she was kicked hard and she flew down the hallway near the ghost. This was Hex's "small" temper that she developed from the constant teasing she got from Shade. With a huff, she retorts. "Then you try to do something shade." "Nah, i mean we can't really attack it...actually i dont think we can touch it at all..' She replies, suddenly calm and serious. When it came to helpless creatures and opponents, shade can't help but feel soft.

[justify]Alex: Alex smiled as she blushed in embarrassment. "Hey, don't bully her about it," Alex told Shade. Then he turned back to Hex. "It's okay, I'm not against the idea. You really should try going out with him, he's not bad in my opinion," he suggested, glancing up at the just as shy and embarrassed Zack. "Unless you don't want to...that's certainly alright with me too."

Zack: He wanted to say something like shut up but he decided against it because it would only bring more unwanted attention to himself. He kept his mouth shut instead and stayed in back of the crowd.[/justify]

Hex peers at him, and looks downward, unsure about herself... But she smiles softly and looks up. "Heh, I dont think im his type" She jokes half-heartedly.. She been in these situations sometimes and it never ended well.

Shade looks at Hex with concealed concern. Hex was always shunned upon, when boys find out about her little feisty side. Though she saw nothing bad about it, she was just defending others... "Hey I bet Hex can do better then the little electro squirt~" She jokes, grinning at the luxuray siblings. "heh"

[sorry for the short post V.V]

[justify]Alex: "Don't say that about yourself now, you're a great person, right Zack?" Alex said confidently, looking to his younger brother for some help in cheering her up about it.

Zack: Zack hesitates for a second and then gave them his answer. "That's right. You're not a bad person, Hex. I don't know what happened in the past that may have made you think that way about yourself but I think you should let it go to pass..."

Alex: "See?" he puts in before moving on. "Now that that's out of the way...I don't think we should literally get rid of it but maybe we can try talking to it? and find out why it's here...so, anyone brave enough to try?"[/justify]

[justify]Alex: Alex was impressed by her courage despite her fear of ghosts. "Don't worry, I won't it eat you," he half chuckled.[/justify]

Hex merely smiles softly and looks at Zack. "I guess...heh thank you." She replied softly before hyping up once more, not wanting to continue this strange feeling. "well! Who knows Anna boys can be rather viscous, carnivorous really when they see cute things like you~" She teased, while Shade scoffed. "Psh they have no control of their hunger~!"

[justify]Alex: He gave Anna a quirk smile before watching intently but calmly as she volunteered to try speaking to the ghost. Of all else, he really wanted this talking to the ghost idea would work because if it didn't he did not know what else to do, nonetheless have this drag on any longer than it should.

Zack: The younger of the Array brothers, who apparently at the back of the crowd was getting rather annoyed and tired. He wanted to just forget about the ghost, go home, and go to sleep. Why can't we just zap the thing gone and get on with it already? Zack thought with annoyance.[/justify]

Bump ~

OOC: Okay! Have fun wherever it is you'll go!

[justify]Alex: If he had been sitting on a chair, Alex would be on the very edge of it, caught in the action like watching a thriller or horror movie. When Anna finally spoke though, he face-palmed himself with his imagination. "Anna, you didn't need to say that last part..." Alex quickly dismissed it. I just hope the ghost doesn't decide to attack us for that one, he thought, readying himself to jump in if it did, to protect her.

Zack: Ughh! Zack's patience was wearing dangerously thin.[/justify]
