Terrance and Jacob both seemed to sit up quickly watching Gigi approach them. Jacob leaned over towards Alexander, gently nudging him in the side with his elbow. [color=teal]“Hey, it looks like Gigi is coming right here.”[/color] Alexander just shrugged, not lifting his eyes until Gigi was already standing in front of him. He finally looked up when she greeted him, an unusual first. He always was the one having to try and get Gigi’s attention, and now she was approaching him first? Alexander seemed to immediately recognize it as odd. But he looked up at Gigi and her offer to share. Shoot, he was the one that was supposed to be sweet and offer to share his food with her! So much for that plan. Jacob quickly scooted over, giving his seat beside Alexander to Gigi. Alex knew he was supposed to be happy right now, as in full of joy for being able to do something so romantic with Gigi, the girl he believed he loved. But why didn’t he feel happy then?

His stomach finally growled loudly, screaming at him to eat already, as he had been neglecting his body. Rather than say anything, Alexander just nodded to Gigi, pulling two plastic forks from his bag. He handed one to Gigi and took a bite. It was absolutely delicious, at least to Alexander it was. He was a sucker for sweets, and this flan almost seemed like it had come out perfect. He watched closely as Gigi took a first bite as well, and he seemed to finally find is voice. [color=khaki]“Does it taste good? I had to stay up late last night perfecting it.”[/color] He was eager to know if she liked his gift or not. He tried to hard to make her happy, and show her they he cared for her. Even if she always pushed him away, he wanted her to know that he would always be there for her. A very small grin seemed to be sprouting on Alexander’s face. He seemed to be getting out of his little mood spending time with Gigi. Terrance and Jacob both nodded to one another, both taking a sigh of relief. They still had to be careful, as his mood shifts could be random and sudden. But usually once Alexander started to show some positive signs, his mood would perk back up. Outside of the month of August, he was an optimist, so it seemed even his occasional depressed spouts had a hard time keeping him down.

When Alyssa, Eva, and Helene finally joined them all, Jacob patted on the fountain for Alyssa to sit with him. Arthur raised his eyebrow, obviously being the last to know anything as usual. It was obvious that Terrance was watching very disapproving, but Jacob recognized this as being the best moment to make an announcement. Everyone was standing on their toes to avoid stepping on Alex’s feet right now, so no way was Terrance going to say something against their relationship. Especially in relation to ‘love and romance’, Alexander could be quite sensitive. [color=teal]“Well, I feel everyone knows now… But Alyssa and I are back, better than ever really!”[/color] Jacob smiled widely, wrapping his arm around Alysa to pull her closer to him, before placing a kiss on his cheek. Terrance’s eyes moved to Helene. He wondered if she was thinking the same thing as him, that it was dangerous for the two of them to be together. Or how their relationship could compromise their deal made. But watching Jacob wrap his arm around Alyssa, it seemed to spark a kind of jealousy in Terrance when his eyes shifted to Helene. He wanted to wrap his arms around her too, have her sit on his lap on the fountain together, run his fingers over her thighs. Obviously, that is lust not love, right? Arthur nodded to Jacob in recognition of his statement. Even with complications, it was better for them, right? Just as his relationship with Eva could be complicated, he wasn’t going to let that stop him from loving her. Alexander turned towards Jacob, a look of surprise on his face and gasping slightly. [color=khaki]“That is so good to hear, Jacob! I knew it wouldn’t last long.”[/color] He gave a thumbs up to the “new” couple.

Alexander’s eyes seemed to bounce around at everyone. There was a calm air, and it seemed to help him relax, as he continued to chow down on the Flan. He turned his attention back to Gigi, his eyes now glowing gold as they usually did. [color=khaki]“Gigi, it is so sunny out, not a cloud in the sky! We are all thinking of going to the beach after the last bell. Would you- I mean. I’d really like it if you would join us. And your friends too.”[/color] Alexander smiled and nodded to everyone else. Arthur was still on board with going to the beach with Eva, wrapping his arm around her hips and holding her close. He still had the image of her prancing around in a bathing suit playing through his head. [color=lightblue]“I expect Helene to join us. You’d better wear something nice and skimpy for me!’[/color] Terrance shot a playful wink towards Helene, running his fingers through his own hair. [color=teal]“Alyssa  and I will be there, for sure, Alexander. You can count on me to come through for you buddy!”[/color] He gave Alexander a friendly pat on the back and Alexander turned to Gigi, eagerly awaiting an answer. Arthur turned his attention back to Eva and nodded to her as a thank you for helping settle her friends for Alexander’s sake. [color=dodgerblue]“I can’t remember. Did we get your bathing suit from your home? I can take you and buy you a new one if you need to?”[/color] Terrance raised an eyebrow at this thought and jumped to his feet. Swimsuit shopping, huh? Sure, most guys hated shopping, as did Terrance. But having an excuse to go to a bathing suit boutique and watch girls walk around, trying on different skimpy bikinis. What guy couldn’t resist that? [color=lightblue]“Helene, do you need to go get a new swimsuit too?”[/color] Terrance’s eyes seemed to light up like a kid’s in a candy shop at the prospect of seeing Helene prance around in an array of bikinis. 

[color=lightblue]“Besides, my muscles grew over the summer, so I may need to find myself a new pair of trunks as well.”[/color]

[color=teal]“I will give you 100 dollars to wear a speedo!”[/color] Jacob piped up and began to laugh out loud. But Terrance just shook his head, smiling cheekily. [color=lightblue]“Easiest $100 I would make then. I’m telling you, I’ll look good in anything!”[/color] Arthur had been so distracted by the thought of Eva prancing around in a swimsuit that he hadn’t thought about himself. Arthur was no longer in his awkward, tall and lanky stage, as he was very slimly athletic with quite a bit of muscular build as well. However, he was anxious at the idea of being shirtless around his friends and strangers. He felt so exposed and unprotected. Damn, now he was actually regretting agreeing to go. [color=dodgerblue]“I may need a new one as well…”[/color] He finally spoke up. In fact, he had no idea where his bathing suit could be at home. Arthur was more of a friend to the cold than to the heat. Alexander clapped his hands together. [color=khaki]“Well, we can stop by the beach shop after school, get some new suits and towels…”[/color] Alexander reached in his bag, pulling out a notebook to write down things he began to list. [color=khaki]“We should pack some snacks, water, plastic baggies for valuables, sunscreen…”[/color] His pen flew across the page of his notebook.

[color=lightblue]“Why don’t we make this a late night endeavor too? Bonfire at the beach. Bring some beers, maybe a few liquors- matches, logs, shovels. Damn. Now I’m [i]really[/i] excited!”[/color] Alexander’s mood was now in full swing on the up and up, jotting down every little thing that was listed. There was definitely some left over alcohol and snacks from the party on Friday for them to bring to the beach. Alexander was happy and cheerful again at the prospect of partying with his friends at the beach.
