Her mom signing her up to be a counselor at her old summer camp ("I don't care if it's for extra credit, mom!"). 2. That children are this annoying ("no, you can't have another stupid cookie"). 3. Sharing a cabin with Grace Upland ("who's like, a total bitch"). 4. (Sure as hell) that she really doesn't mind it ("like, at all"). 5. Something else, but that's for later.

Even in their school, which is rather accepting, it's not like things are exactly easy for them, what with gender roles in place. So Alexa and Noah do what they can to explore what makes femininity, what makes masculinity, and everything in between. [ gypsea's femininity challenge ]
