For nearly an hour Vayla tried to aid Alex in controlling his powers. Alas the boy was too unstable. He had it set in his mind that he was a failure, and so that's what he saw in even his achievements. 

After so many 'failures'- he nearly blew up one of the camps newer additions- the boy simply got up and left. He didn't need a camp counselor or anyone else to show him how awful he felt. 

He sulked into camp, dark hood pulled over his head. He didn't really want to go back to his cabin. He didn't want to be anywhere.
