Taking the utensil from Alexander, Gigi took advantage of the moment to stare at the pastry on her lap. It was so shiny, moving slightly as she pressed the plastic fork into it. As she carefully parted her piece and chomped on the fork, she could taste how smooth and sweet it was. It wasn't particularly sugary, though it hit the spot at the moment. As Alexander asked if she liked it, she nodded eagerly, although said nothing and choosing to continue to eat. Every bite seemed better than the last, the taste lingering on her tongue after she devoured it. From an outside point of view, no one could tell if she actually liked it, but the amount of effort and speed she was putting into eating it was astounding. Eva bit her lower lip to suppress a giggle, but she was glad to see Alexander light up. As Jacob made his announcement, she grinned, though she caught the rather solemn look Helene had on her face. It was rare to see Helene so serious, though the redhead seemed to be lost in her own thoughts.

What was it about seeing Alyssa and Jacob together that annoyed her so much? It was probably the fact that Alyssa held Helene's past against her but seemed to accept Jacob without a second thought. Still, as she watched them, she knew it had 'bad idea' written all over them. Her eyes inadvertently met Terrance's, who seemed to share her disapproval, but she knew they had different reasons for it. Oh well, there was nothing she could do about it. And that thought seemed to drag Helene down into a dark place she hadn't been in in some time. No, going to that place wasn't a good idea right now. She did, however, catch Gigi's look, who seemed to share the same mindset as Helene, but was in a better mood due to Alexander's treat. Ah, he hit her sweet tooth, so she was pretty happy right now. Hey, maybe Alexander stood a chance after all. Helene felt herself smile a little, resigning herself to the thought that she was alone and would probably just stay that way.

Gigi missed a lot of the conversation until Alexander addressed her again, at which she perked up. He wanted them all to go to the beach together. Hmm, it had been some time since she hit the water. As everyone else seemed to agree, she just gave a short nod and went back to get another bite, only to see she had finished. Crap, she hadn't quite savored the last bit like she usually did, and she had to restrain herself from trying to steal whatever Alexander had left.

Helene snapped back to normal at the mention of shopping, her eyes scanning the group somewhat mischievously. "[color=lightsalmon]Then we're hitting the mall after school![/color]" She announced.

"[color=orange]You have like, eleven swimsuits,[/color]" Alyssa pointed out.

"[color=lightsalmon]Then I need one more to make it a complete dozen![/color]" Helene brushed her off, a glint in her eye as she watched Eva and Arthur. Eva noticed, clinging onto Arthur tighter as Helene approached her. "[color=lightsalmon]I'm thinking this is the year we get Eva into a two-piece, what say you?[/color]"

Eva almost disagreed, though she looked up at Arthur for a second. She wanted to say no, but that's what he would want, right? What a conundrum. Instead of answering, however, she spotted Gigi looking longingly at the Tupperware, and a light bulb went off. Sorry, Gigi! "[color=pink]Only if Gigi does,[/color]" She said, watching as she successfully pawned Helene's attention over to the dark haired girl.

"[color=orangered]What?[/color]" Gigi looked around, confused. "[color=orangered]Do what?[/color]"

"[color=orange]Good job, Alexander, I haven't seen Gigi this distracted since she tasted my sweet sixteen cake,[/color]" Alyssa joked, temporarily parting from Jacob to join Helene. "[color=orange]What sort of swimsuits do you prefer, Alexander?[/color]"

"[color=lightsalmon]There's only one answer for that: bikini![/color]" Helene declared.

"[color=pink]Uh...there are more kinds of swimsuits than that...triangle tops, halters, bandeaus, tankinis...[/color]" Eva pointed out.
