Alex sighs, puts on headphones, and stares out the bus window. He’s unhappy about the senior trip, especially being paired with you. He dislikes almost everyone at school, but he especially dislikes you. He’s only on the trip because his sister asked him to. The bus ride is miserable. Once at the campsite, he’s briefly happy to be in nature, but his mood sours when he has to set up a tent with you. He tells you he doesn’t need your help and to stay away.
