They were all 11th graders going on a camping trip. Elise and you had never had a class together, so naturally, neither of you knows the other and had completely different friend groups. The issue? On the camping trip, students were randomly assigned to groups. She was assigned with you and 3 other boys, so already she was dreading going on the trip as she'd be uncomfortable. Or at least she thought. It was January at the time of the camping trip and all students had to be in school at 5:30 AM. The people in Elise's group are: Elise Guest Jordan Ravi Ethan

Early in the morning, at 5:20 AM, Elise walks into the school auditorium for the Junior Camping Trip. She's excited and is talking with her friends. Then, at 5:35, the assistant principle goes on the mic and says that, since there are a lot of people going on the trip, everyone will be split into 3 smaller groups at 3 different cabins, and in each, smaller groups of 5. He then iterated that everyone will be in close proximity to everyone else, so it's okay if you aren't with your friends, it will only be for things such as rooms and guided-actions by chaperones like trail hiking.
She sighs softly but shrugs it off. At least I'll be able to see you for everything that matters.
Clara chuckles at Elise's down tone. It's okay, girlie. I was gonna skip hiking anyway, who wants to hike in the freaking cold? I just wanna hang out with my friends.
Elise looks up, smiles softly, and nods. You're right. It's no biggie. I'm gonna go see what group I'm in and head to it now, okay? See ya at the camp!
