Even though Alexis liked life fine so far on the island, she couldn't help being bummed she was missing out on the Princeton summer program. It was great being on a kind of perpetual tropical vacation, and it was great having her dad and Detective Beckett there (with Gran missed quite a bit). And Alexis loved being able to spend so much time with Cooper. She'd always enjoyed school, though, and she was looking forward to being able to go to the island's once the new term started.

Heading into the rec room to try and find a new book to read, she caught sight of a guy at one of the tables who looked like he was working on homework. She was eager to talk to someone about the school, but she didn't want to interrupt him, so she continued on to the bookshelf. Then he stretched, looking like he was getting ready for a break, and Alexis turned in his direction.

"Hey, are you taking classes at the island school?" she asked.
