	Alex just sat by as the others arrived to the house. He gave a slight nod to Jethart. Alex knew the aggravation younger siblings could be but he had been on the other side. Alex picked up another cookie as who he assumed was Jamie walked in. Alex had only been told a brief description about the guy when Ariel told him about the trip in the first place. Alex started to stick the second cookie in his mouth when Gia showed up and gave them all hugs. Alex froze a little because he wasn't particularly fond of physical contact. He heard Jace before he saw him. When the guy patted Ariel on the head and she swatted the hand away Alex smirked. However, when the flirt pecked Lizzy on the cheek Alex flinched. The young man quickly looked around to make sure no one noticed and from what he could tell no one did. When Lizzy asked if the cookies tasted alright he simply responded by continuing to eat them. Alex did internally groan as the final member of the group, Cass, came in.

	They quickly got to business as Ariel quickly got Jethart to pick a destination. Alex thought this method of choosing could be interesting and quite fun. Hopefully, no one would accidentally pick some place out in the middle of no where. As the location of Minnesota was announced Alex just mentally shrugged. He really didn't know what their was to do there, [color=cyan]"All I think of when I hear Minnesota is hockey and the Mighty Ducks. What is there to do in Minnesota?"[/color] He made a quick statement just to get the ball of conversation rolling since the guy who picked the place walked out of the room and instantly started reading something.

	After saying this Alex retreated into his own mind to mull over the group that had gathered. First was Ariel, who he called Little Mermaid. Out of all the people in the room she was the person he was probably closest to and that's saying something. She is one of the few he can open up to and just talk. She understands that he doesn't like talking about things the way most people do and when they do talk it's not just things like how ones day is going. He also watches her YouTube videos despite not liking the same kind of music to the extent that she does. He even reads her blog from time to time but hasn't told her that. He can tell she is hiding something from people but has no idea what. By his nature he will probably never ask mainly because he has his own secrets and feels if she tells him hers that he should tell her his. Which he won't do. Not because he doesn't appreciate her as a friend but because he doesn't want to load her down with the pain he feels inside.

	He then turned to the older sister of one of his better friends. Alex met Lizzy, who he prefers to call Momma Jones due to her motherly nature, and her brother because of Ariel. Alex started spending time with Josh mainly because he clicked a lot better with those younger than him. Alex felt that most his age would always forget him or just ditch him. With kids though they tended to look up to Alex not just because of his height though. Alex always loves to be that older brother type. With Josh and Ariel every now and then saying something about Lizzy, Alex really doesn't know what to think about her. Alex does feel like the two of them are somewhat like the mother and father of the group yet not. She will be a soothing yet authoritative hand depending on the situation, and he will, really only if asked, give the fatherly like advice while making sure they don't get everyone in trouble. Alex usually leaves the chaos control to Lizzy though opting to only intervene when things get really bad.

	Next was Crass Rowley. He knows it's Cass but deliberately calls her Crass. Not to be mean or anything like that but because that is just how she acts. Alex knows she isn't unintelligent, but he still calls her Crass Rowley. The only reason he even spoke to the girl at all though was because they had similar friends. So he would at times go out of his way to be kind even if she wasn't. Unless she did something really bad, which hasn't happened yet, she would never be able to get anything that seemed unkind to come from Alex other than the nickname by which he calls her.

	Alex looked in the direction of Flirts McGee. Jace to those who don't get it. Alex didn't despise the guy, but he couldn't say he liked him either. The guy was cocky and rebellious. He was disrespectful to authorities and he also flirted with almost any girl he saw. That last part is more of Alex being upset with himself that he can't flirt at all and this guy just walked in and gave Lizzy a kiss on the cheek. All-in-all Alex thought Jace was a somewhat decent guy despite his attitude because the guy actually seemed to care about his friends. So, as long as Jace didn't hurt one of their common friends Alex had no real issues with him.

	To Alex Gia, or Geez Louise for no real apparent reason, is one of the friends that can get him to do stuff other than sit around being lazy all day. If he was at a party it was more than likely because Gia found some way to get him there. Alex sees Gia as a younger sister in a way. In due part to two main reasons. She is slightly similar to his actual sister, Sadie but without all the annoying parts, and he just wants to look out for her and make sure no one hurts her. That is a benefit of having Alex as a friend. He'll look out for ya.

	Then there is Jethart. Alex doesn't talk to him much for obvious reasons since both are just naturally quiet, but when they do speak Alex calls him Jay-Jay the Jet Plane. Only on account that most call him Jet. Alex and Jet are slightly similar in quite a few regards, but Alex just doesn't push the issue of trying to talk to him. Alex believes that if the guy wants to get to know him that he will come speak to him. So, their friendship seems to just be loosely based around their common friends. Alex would like to know him better, but he just doesn't want to risk it.

	And then last, but not least, because Alex preferred being considered least at most times, was Jamie. The only person in the room Alex had not met before a few seconds ago. It's usually hard to not make first impressions the main thing you look back to in terms of a person, but despite what Ariel told him about Jamie, Alex didn't like his attitude or demeanor. Alex didn't like people who were considered 'Playboy's' or those who seemed arrogant and cocky. It seemed as though that this was what the guy was. Alex would do his best not to be mean, but he made no promises yet.

	Once Alex was done with his inner monologue he looked around and said, [color=cyan]"So, we ready to hit the road or is there something anyone needs to do last minute?"[/color]
