Alan looks at the girl as she looks up at him when they eyes met Alan got sense of familiarity,as if he's seen her somewhere but he can't remember where.he reaches out his hand to her to help her get up.the girl smiles and she takes his hand and he helps her up."thank you, who says chivalry is dead"she said with a smile. "it is dead I just helped you up because you fell down because of me"Alan replied in a stern tone.
She chuckles, "Oh I see so you are a person who takes accountability, at least that side of you still hasn't changed Alan"said the girl right before she walks away. Alan turns around and he remembers that she said his name even he never introduced himself,he turns to look for her but she was nowhere to be seen.
Outside the school on the first block Hanako was walking to class when he heard jack calling his name. He stops and turns around,"what's up did you forget something 007?"Hanako asked as he folds his arms and he looks at Jack with a tense expression. "Come on don't tell me you're mad"Jack asked jockingly."I'm just pulling your leg mate, anyways did you forget anything?"Hanako asks as he unfolds his hands and his expression softens.
"no my job ended quickly so I'm going to be staying in echo until they need me"Jack explain as he tries to hide the frustration from the fact that he would rather be anywhere than here. Hanako notices that jack is frustrated and he doesn't pay too much attention towards it. "so they grounded you"Hanako asked and Jack just replied with a nod of agreement.
"Well I think AL will be happy to see you"said Hanako and the two boys continue their walk to class. In class max finished his sketch of a snake girl wearing a bikini. "hey do you remember that David steel was missing for five years?"Faith asked. "I thought he was dead" Max replied he tilts his head in confusion. "No I heard that he was missing in a expedition that gone wrong." Faith explained. "that's hard to believe didn't you tell me that he survived multiple mercenaries when he was 14" Max asked.
"12"faith corrected. Max was a loss for word for a moment."damn he was such a badass"max said with a admiration. "what do you mean was?"Faith asked all confused by what he meant by was. "well if he's missing for this long then he's dead"Max stated. Faith who gets offended by this just kisses his teeth. "I'll believe he's dead the day they find his body"Faith said. Max doesn't say anything he just looks at faith who looks at him back with his usual cocky demeanor and he just let's out a heavy sigh."whatever"he said giving up the topic.
Hanako and jack enter the classroom and everyone's attention turns to them as they stand at the door. Max and faith notice jack who was standing at the door, their faces light up with joy when they see jack they get up from their seat. Everyone else in class especially the girls rush to swarm Jack."Oh my goodness Jack you're back?"one female classmate asked filled with joy."Jack we're happy you're back"another one stated. "how long will you stay this time"one male classmate asked. Jack who's was overwhelmed by this just ignores them as he looks inside the class.
He notices Max and Faith but he didn't notice Alan."hey where's Al"he asked and everyone's mood change as they calm down with look full of fury and distain."oh him I don't know and I don't care"said one female classmate. Hanako looks at that individual with a death stare. "why are you insisting on hanging out with that perverted loser"asked another girl. Jack gets irritated by this, he just squeezes past the crowd and he walks to Maz and Faith." hey man"he greeted with a smile. Faith does a perfect dap with Faith. They hold each other's hand firmly before letting go."look at you I guess life has been treating you well in the City"Faith complimented as he looks at Jack head to toe.
"yeah it was but I'll still take echo's quite over the city"Jack joked and Faith and him laugh. He turns to Max who had a fist pump ready and they fist pump. "heyo Emoji"jack greeted. Max just clicks his tongue in frustration. "Now I remember why I was glad you were gone"Max said as he glares at jack. Jack expression changes as he glares back at max with serious. After a few moments. Max struggling to keep the straight face just laughs and they both laugh."I'm glad you're back chi"said max with a smile. Luna just shows up and she hugs Jack from behind. She brings her head closer to his neck as she sniffs it.
Faith,Max and Hanako just look at this sight in confusion. Jack who seems to be not to bothered by this he chuckles. As he turns and returns her hug. After a few moments they break the hug."hey Luna."jack greeted. Luna steps back with a big smile on her face."Hi"she greeted in a flirty tone as she plays with her hair. "I guess she has a thing for him"Max whispered.Faith just nods his head in agreement. The school bell rings and everyone calmly walks out of class.
Alan was sitting on a bench near the school ground thinking to himself with a serious look. Max and Faith spot Alan when they reach the school ground and walk to him. Alan who was deep in though hears footsteps behind he turns and spots Faith and Max."hey" he said as he stands up from the bench. He looks around and sees some most of the learners are outside."umm is it the lunch break already"Alan asked.
"yeah anyways how do you feel man"Faith asked as he sits on the bench. Alan looks at Max and Faith then he lets out a heavy sigh. "I'm fine man"Alan replied with a stoic expression as he suppresses all of the negative emotion.
Faith who was a long time friend of Alan can tell when Alan is suppressing his emotion. He decides not parsue the matter."Did you know that Jack is in the school."Faith asked as he tries to change the subject. Alan looks at Faith with a intrigued look. Max who was standing next to them decides to sit on the bench and he pays attention to the conversation.
Alan thinks for a bit, he clicks his tongue as he expression changes into a sour one."why is he back now of all time?"Alan asked as he gets suspicious of the case. Wow chill Al"Faith tried to calm Alan down. "I AM CALM!!"Alan yells so loud that everyone nearby turns their attention towards him."Yeah you're definitely calm"Max teased as he looks around and notices the people staring at them. Alan gets uncomfortable and he gets up and walks away from the bench as he goes to the left side of the school.
On his way Alan meets Jack and Hanako.Alan sees Jack who just shows a warm smile clearly showing that jack is happy to see him."heya Al"Jack greeted. Alan first though was to punch punch jack but he suppresses it as he flashes a genuine smile."How long are you staying this time"Alan asked. "umm I don't know maybe Months"Jack answered. After that there was a awkward silence between Alan and Jack. "well anyways have you seen a girl with purple hair"Hanako asked attempting to start up a conversation between these two. "oh Yeah have you seen a girl like that?"Jack asked looking concerned.
"yeah I did, who is she"Alan asked intrigued by this. "she's my sister."Jack answered. "wait you have a sister"Alan asked in shock as he slightly raises his voice. Jack just chuckles nodding his head, "so have you seen her"Hanako asked. Alan moves closer to Jack and Hanako."yeah I did last period but I didn't see where she left"Alan stated. Jack just let's out a frustrated deep sigh. "that girl"Jack mumbles to himself. "huh"Alan said as he couldn't hear Jack"s mumbling.
"it's nothing important chi anyways I heard about yuki man, and I'm sorry."Jack said with genuine concern. "Relax man I'm pretty sure she went of somewhere without telling her parents and she'll be back soon"Alan said bluntly. "Hey let's go get something to eat I'm beat"Hanako said. Three of the fellas walk to the same direction."you know you say that when you're sleepy not hungry"Jack explain. "shut up chi"Hanako replied. And the three of them just burst out laughing.
In the the near distance on the upper floor of the building that was towering over the ground were the three lads were A lady with black hair with small hint of purple with green eyes, she was wearing a spot bra that was tight on her big chest and black tights shorts. She spots the boys and just smiles."well well well look who we have here."said said as she smirks.
