Just then, he felt something hit him. He looked down as some kid he had never seen before nudged him, and then proceeded to insult his hair! The nerve! "They're called sideburns, and you'll get them someday too," he told him. "Mine just happen to be a lot...longer than others," he explained.
"Hi Alexis!" he called, waving at his Captain as she greeted them. "This is Lucy, the daughter of our house guest, Paul, and my charming step-sister Ezra," he added sarcastically, pointing at Ezra as she slowly made her way over towards everyone.
Anna followed Cale's gaze over towards Ezra and Lucy. Ezra had already started to get under Anna's skin, and they'd only been on the island for a total of...
what?...one minute? Ugh. No way was Anna going to allow that girl to ruin her perfect tropical vacation. "Cale, I can...and
will...hit Ezra Greenboat again. I'm not going to be seventeen for a few more months, so I can still legally attack her. I won't, though. I won't allow her to ruin our vacation," Anna promised.
"Will you take me for a walk on the beach tonight, Cale?" Anna asked. "Then tomorrow we can try surfing or scuba-diving." Anna was about to bring up breaking open cocunuts as another option, but her attention was drawn to the kid who was currently insulting Cale's hair. Oh, no. Cale was very over-protective of his hair. Anna giggled...hair monster. That was cute. "Hey there," Anna greeted. "I'm Anna Greingoth, Cale's girlfriend."
When Cale happened to mention the name Alexis, Anna's head shot up, and she saw her friend and fellow Gryffindor, Alexis Chosen. "Hey, Alexis!" Anna exclaimed. "This place is amazing, isn't it?"

Suddenly, she felt a tug at her arm and the boy was dragging her off. "Ummm, hi Legend. I'm Lucille Samantha Kutcher, but you can call me Lucy!" she explained as he tugged her over to his friends.
"Luccccyyyy," Anna teased, laughing and shaking her head at the girl's comment. "You know how sensitive he is about his hair. Besides, I think it's cute." Anna smiled and reched up to push a stray curl out of her boyfriend's eyes. His hair really was cute...straight...curly...or all over the place like it sometimes tended to be.

To be on a beach alone and you somewhere off in seclusion...like in Sibera or whatever it is," she muttered in annoyance.
She turned to glare at the girl who had just greeted them much too enthusiastically. Bleh. One of Cale's friends, no doubt. "I'm Ezra Greenboat, and I am of no biological relation to him," she told her, glaring at Cale.
"As a matter of fact, Ezra, I would," Anna commented. "So, go! Bye! Fly away, little Gryffindor!" Anna sarcastically replied, waving her arms at Ezra in a "shooing" type motion. "You know what? Leave me alone, EZ-
RA! I have no intentions of arguing with you this entire trip!"
Anna rolled her eyes when Ezra introduced herself as being of "no biological relation to Cale. "
Thank, Merlin," Anna whispered. Deciding that she better stop now before a full-on fight started, Anna turned away from Ezra and back towards the conversation she'd been having earlier.
