After everyone arrived, Alex made his way up the sandy bank, with Peggy by his side. She huffed and groaned about everything she could spot or think about. But he didn't mind. People have to let out some steam if they need to. Even if it meant all day then so be it. Peggy was his friend and telling her she's done wrong would be.. wrong. And besides, there is nothing Peggy does that is wrong. In fact mostly everything her sisters argue about with her are wrong. They just make it seem right cause they are older.

A lot of people started to settle in so Alexander wanted to set his stuff up before anyone could, they were too dumb to realize that if they'd shut up they could pick a good area to stay at. As he put his stuff down, Peggy came and threw her stuff down beside and onto of his.

"Sorry about that lex, can I please stay by you?" She dropped her arms and groaned. Alex stood up all the way and crossed his arms.

"Sure?" He laughed to himself. With that, Peggy started setting up her stuff with Alexander.

"Hey Alex.." she started working slower and alex peeked at her keeping the same pace.

"Ye peg?" Peggy smiled at the name and put her hands on her knees. She's always so curious and onward with things. She is definitely the fun one out of the three. And alex would surely love to spend time with her til the end.

"Would you consider me a friend now?" Alex smiled lightly and looked her in the eyes. Her eyes read that she was nervous and exited. Though she looked as if she wanted to do more than set up her camp area.

"Of course, besides I need some of those" he laughed.

"Great!" Peggy bounced and hopped over to where Alex guessed as the Schuyler sisters.

She said something to the two that made them disappointed and mad.

Alex laughed at that and began setting up His stuff. He almost feel on top of everything by the big force of it. Besides, he was really small for his age.

Before Alex could get up a boy came over. He had freckles all over his face and curly brown hair. His eyes were also a bright green.

Alexander looked up at him before standing all the way up.

"Hey, you okay?" He asked politely.

"Yes I'm fine.. thanks" With that, alex started shoving things into other things and plopped down on the sandy area beneath him. He couldn't really get his tent set up the way he wanted. And it bothered him, knowing a guy was standing by him watching his stupidity. Getting mad over a small subject is so childish in a way.

The taller boy laughed and sat beside him. Alex felt the heat in-between them, and didn't hesitate to look at him with a 'oh my gosh' look. Or so, a surprised look.

"Sorry if I'm Interrupting anything but I'm John laurens" the tall southerner politely offered Alex his hand in which he took while staring at his eyes. He was so onward about meeting new people. Would he care to expose his whole body to alex to?"Need help?" He asked. Alexander slowly nodded then wanted to mentally slap himself for that, but it's just that he's so cute and hard to resist. He couldn't possibly be rude to someone that looked a day over eighteen and surely got for Alex's type. Not that he's interested. Is he? Sure John was nice, but Alex didn't want him wasting his time on such a thing. Maybe he had better things to do, like, I don't know. Do his own?

"Y-you don't have to." Alex half whispered. The silence filled the air, except the wind of course. John turned to Alexander and smiled softly.

"It wouldn't be harm to me" he said then started setting up Alexanders tent.


After they were done, John wiped the sand off of his shorts and turned to Alex who was standing there."If you need anything don't hesitate to ask, ok?" John said assuringly and Alexander nodded while sitting back on the ground, grabbing his backpack and throwing it in the whole of them tent sloppily.

He watched John walk away and lied back on the sand. Why did he have to crush on someone, when this place is supposed to bring friendships . Not relationships. He put his hands on his face and groaned loudly in them. It's so difficult.

"Welp, I didn't just watch that." Alex heard the familiar voice of Peggy walking over with a oh of chips and a towel. Alex sat up and she sat beside him sharing her chips.

"It's hard being gay sometimes." He frowned. Putting his hand under his chin and his elbow placed on his knee. The sun was setting and the view of the ocean was beautiful and calming. You could hear numerous screams and yelps of excitement . But Alexander wasn't exited. What for?

"It's hard being les.." Peggy said softly.

Alexander's gaze stayed on the water. The sunset reflecting off of it, making it look like the wallpaper of his computer. Oh god, how he wished he could be on that thing right now. But he had to leave every electronic device at home. It was against the rules and way out of line anyways. He could loose it in the ocean or sand, or worse.

Alex look at the sun and quickly told the time in his head.

"Imma go to the tent now.." he rubbed his eyes and stood up, walking to the tent. Peggy stood up and walked to his part.

"Mm, goodnight ham ham" she smiled and went to hers, dragging her blanket and carrying her chips.

She wanted to be as far away from her sisters as she could. But she wouldn't have any friends to be by. So she stayed by Alexander. The sad thing is, is that her sisters were close to him. Considering the fact that they like him. Idiots.

Alexander laid on his air mattress, starring at nothing in protocolar. Thought flooded his mind. Hopefully tomorrow is different. Maybe more friends. More fun, eating too. Maybe more everything he hoped for when he saw John.

It pained him to like someone right away. Or maybe it was just that type of 'like' where you think someone's cute. Whatever the reason is. Hopefully it leaves.

It's bad enough everyone in New York, back home, is bisexual or isn't straight, mind you. 

Hopefully.. just hopefully.

Alexander's eyes got heavier within minutes and he ended the night with these thoughts.
