You tossed your shoes off at the front door. Jennifer and Charlie were waiting with anticipation for you to tell them the details. "So how'd it go?" Charlie smirked, raising a brow. "How did what go?" you walked over and sat on your bed. "Don't act dumb. We saw you with Jeremy" Jennifer winked. A blush crept over your cheeks. "Oh, it was nothing" you brushed it off. You were still unsure of your feelings. Besides.. you rarely even know him. It would be better to get to know the guy first.

"Nothing? Girl did you see the way he looked at you!" Jennifer exclaimed, placing her arms on her hips. She clicked her tongue, disappointed of your answer. "Not only the way he looked at you but he gave YOU his jacket" Charlie squealed "Would you guys keep it down i'm trying to sleep!" Elizabeth whined throwing you guys a stuffed animal. "sorry!" the three of you whispered yell.

"Guys I don't even know Jeremy well enough to date him. I'm not going to waste my time on romance and that's final" you crossed your arms over your chest. You sighed feeling frustrated already from all of this. You had promised yourself you wouldn't get into any boy romance trouble.

Your parents always reminded you that it would drain your energy and it wasn't worth it. Because in the end, you both would break up. Since dating is looking for a lifetime partner and to get married and apparently some boys don't see it that way.

You huffed and grabbed your pijamas from the drawer. "Loosen up a bit Y/n. It's summer! The perfect time for romance" Jennifer wiggled her  eyebrows. You shook your head and entered the bathroom and locked it shut.

As you slipped into your pjs. Your mind ran through the events at the campfire. Did he really even like me? Maybe it was just for fun.. Michael probably told him to do that. You thought to yourself as you brushed your hair out of your face. You placed down the hairbrush. The way his soft hands met yours. His soft hair brushing against your bare skin.
Your mind said it was a crush, yet your heart had a different feeling.

The alarm went off in the room, making everyone sit up with a groggy and tired face. The alarm rang through the room. "Ah shit! Turn it off" Jennifer whined. You reached over and turned off the alarm. The four of you groaned, laying back down on the bed for a moment. You peeked your eye reading the time 6:00 AM.

You scooted yourself at the edge of the bed and sat up once more. You stayed in that position for a moment trying to calmly recollect yourself. It only took you a couple of minutes to finally get up. You grabbed a pair of clothes and a towel and walked into bathroom. You locked it behind you and turned on the knob. Water from the water head instantly splashed against the bathroom tiles.
