It was a little warming at first to see most of the gang together again, save for Helene and Alyssa. Of which, it seemed both Terrance and Jacob were acting strangely. Did they know something that Arthur didn’t? Not really. Terrance was still internally fighting over his feelings for Helene, that he tried his damn hardest to keep under wraps. He was also slightly frustrated at being cockblocked by Jacob’s eldest brother Isaac the night before. Damn that smug punk for wanting Helene. Jacob wasn’t done with her yet, and he definitely wasn’t ready to pass her on to someone else. Jacob on the other hand was internally conflicting with the fact that he and Alyssa had gotten back together, and no one knew yet besides themselves. He wanted to tell everyone, but at the same time he grew very anxious about rekindling their flame. In his heart he knew it was what he wanted, and it was the right thing to do. But considering this new alliance with Helene, having Alyssa too close could jeopardize a lot of things. Though, at the same time, Jacob felt he could trust Alyssa to keep her mouth shut and not expose anything to her father.

Alexander’s mood seemed to continue on the up and up when Eva mentioned going to the beach was a good idea. Even Arthur seemed a bit excited at the idea. Mainly seeing Eva in a bathing suit. Sure, he had already seen her naked plenty of times. But there was something about having her run around in a skimpy bathing suit that got his mind going. He didn’t like the idea of other guys oogling at her. But at the same time, he wanted to flaunt to everyone that she was his, and no one else’s. [color=dodgerblue]“Beach sounds perfect.”[/color] Arthur rested a hand on Eva’s shoulder, shooting her a very small grin.

When Gigi approached, it seemed as if Arthur completely missed her ramblings and how exhausted she seemed to be from running. All he could focus on was presenting her with his gift, and trying to convince her to go to the beach with them after school. When his eyes landed on Gigi, he felt as if a warm wave was already rushing over him, and he was continuing to walk on air. But before he could finally open his mouth, Eva was pounced on, and just as quickly, Helene and Alyssa were at one another’s throats. Almost just as instantaneously, Jacob and Terrance both hopped on their respective girls, holding the other back and away. [color=lightblue]“Woah, woah! Helene! Not here! Don’t start a fight!”[/color]

[color=teal]“Yeah, Alyssa. What has gotten into you two?”[/color] Terrance and Jacob were both significantly confused as to what could be causing the two to fight. But it seemed Terrance was the first to try and fit pieces together. The Swedes knew who Helene was and her family, and they also knew what Alyssa was and her family… so where they fighting over that? Terrance grew nervous at the thought of Alyssa exposing all of them, after Jacob made the dumb decision to tell Alyssa just about everything. That was when Terrance’s eyes shot up to Jacob, who was holding Alyssa around her waist to pull her back. Why was she not fighting Jacob for holding him? And why was Jacob so casually holding onto her hips?

More puzzle pieces fell into place, and everything clicked. They made up last night. And with this revelation, Terrance not only let Helene go, but held back her friends so she could move freely. [color=lightblue]“Do what you need to Helene!”[/color] Arthur stayed his distance, simply analyzing the situation for what it was. But something else felt off to him, and he turned his head towards Alexander he stood beside him. He looked like a statue, frozen in place and holding onto the little package for Gigi. The only thing that had changed was again, the disappearing smile and the dulling eyes. Oh shit. [color=dodgerblue]“Terrance.”[/color] He called his attention, quickly nodding his head towards Alex.

The fighting and aggression being taken out in front of his eyes seemed to trigger a depressive episode, as Alexander’s shoulder slumped and he let his package drop onto the ground, where it rocked back and forth a bit. Terrance and Jacob both witnessed this, and their eyes shot back towards each other, exchanging a relatively ‘oh no’ look. [color=lightblue]“Alexan-“[/color] But he couldn’t get out the rest of the name when Alexander 180’d on his heel, and ran towards the main building, not looking back. [color=lightblue]“Shit.”[/color] Arthur watched as his friend took off too, not completely sure if he should chase his friend or give him space. He wasn’t good at comforting Alexander when his episodes would start. That was primarily handled by Terrance and Jacob. They had to maintain some kind of peace and simple life around him or he would fall off his rocker. And as of this morning so far, they were failing significantly. 

Arthur walked picked back up the little package before any ants could begin to infiltrate the container. On the top was a sticky note with “Gigi <3” written on it. Arthur popped off the top to find Flan, probably big enough to share with two people. He closed the lid back looking at Gigi. He wasn’t sure if now was the right time to hand it over. Perhaps he should just hold on to it till lunch, and give Alexander a chance to present it to Gigi himself. However, Arthur wasn’t the most gentle person. He handed over the container to Eva, figuring that she would be careful enough with it, that it wouldn’t get destroyed. [color=dodgerblue]“Hold onto this for Alexander, would you?”[/color] Terrance stepped away from the brawling girls, prepared to chase Alexander. He turned his attention to Eva just for a second.

[color=lightblue]“If anyone can get them to stop fighting, it is probably you… For Alexander’s sake, please settle your friends. And convince them to come to the beach with us.”[/color] With that, Terrance ran away after his puppy dog friend.

Alexander had found himself a corner between some lockers to collapse in. It was often overlooked by most passerby students. So it was the perfect place for him to sit, knees to his chest, and face tucked in between them. He wrapped his arms around his legs and squeezed them tightly. As if he could just curl up into a ball and squeeze himself smaller, smaller, smaller, until his entire body would just vanish. But unfortunately, he was still here, and his body continued to shake. Why were they fighting? Why weren’t they just getting along, like normal friends? Are they not friends anymore? Is everything just falling apart? Terrance finally caught up to Alexander and crouched down on his knees by the shaking boy. He raised his head slowly to look at Terrance, the tears welling up in his dull, gold eyes. [color=lightblue]“Hey, buddy. Are you okay?”[/color] This was a stupid question, as it was very obvious that Alexander was anything but okay. Alexander shook his head, his eyes just scanning the floor. [color=khaki]“Why is the world cruel?”[/color] Was all Alexander seemed to squeak out before getting choked up. Terrance sighed and rubbed Alexander’s back. [color=lightblue]“I don’t know… But you have to keep your head up. You don’t want Gigi to see you like this, do you?”[/color]

Alexander’s head seemed to perk up a little, but it didn’t clear the clouds from his eyes. Alexander shook his head, and wiped his face before getting to his feet. But even though he was standing, it was obvious to anyone that knew Alexander that something inside him had shifted. This wasn’t the same loving, happy-go-lucky, romantic Alexander. This was depressed, apathetic Alexander. Terrance and Jacob had failed, and Terrance knew it was going to take a lot of effort to get him out of the rut. [color=lightblue]“Let’s just get you to class, alright? We don’t have to go back to the courtyard.”[/color] Terrance patted Alexander’s back, and they made their way to homeroom.
