  "Ta-da!!!" Claire exclaimed, showing Jack the newly built tent. "Hehe," Jack awkwardly chuckled, "it's nice Claire,"
"........" Claire stared at him holding a laugh. "What?" Jack asked "are you kidding me? This is just half done! Hahahahaha!" Claire burst out laughing while she talked. All Jack could do was stay quiet and then blushed as Claire was fixing the tent.

•After Several Minutes•

  "There! Now it's done," Claire stood up looking proud about her work. "But why do we need a tent if your treehouse is just 10 steps away from us?" Jack pointed at the treehouse. "First of all it's our treehouse not just mine and second, earlier you said that this is your first time camping. So I thought that camping in a real tent will help you have the full experience!" Claire explained. "You do make a point," Jack lifted his things up.

   "Then it's settled! Put your things inside the tent because we're gonna gather some sticks for our camp fire," Claire pointed Jack's stuff. "Ok," Jack entered the tent and placed his things inside.

  Claire piled up the sticks near their tent, "there, now we just need something to light this up, Jack?" Claire looked at Jack. "What? Me? I'm just 13 years old! What do you expect me to do?" Jack exclaimed, "umm....." Claire stared at him blanked. Gosh why did I just say that? I'm so stupid. Now Claire will think I'm super weird Jack's face started to turn red. As the two of them stared at each other Claire thought, umm... Did I say anything wrong? All I did was ask him 'how we can light the sticks'. Maybe that did offend him. I'm really confused right now.

  They both sat down at each end of the log and for about half an hour silence took over the two.

  Jack looked at Claire while she looked at him too. "So... Let me just get umm... A lighter 'cause I remembered I packed one for tonight," he scratch the back of his head looking down at the ground walking towards the tent while Claire kept staring at him.

  Jack lit up the sticks then sat down beside Claire. "So... Are we cool now?" Jack slowly looked at Claire, "of course we are, we never even fought. You were just shocked when I asked you. But we never fought," Claire smiled "oh good, because I taught you will ask me to leave and quit being my friend," Jack looked down. "I will never do such thing. Jack... You're the best friend I ever had," Claire slowly rubbed Jack's hair as she stared at him.

  Jack looked at what Claire's doing to his hair and blushed while he thought hmm... What a wonderful girl.

After a while•

  Claire snapped out of the moment and said, "I think it's time for us to head inside and rest, don't you think?" she stopped rubbing Jack's hair and put the fire out. "I think you're right, but let's look at the night sky for a bit," Jack looked at Claire. "Ok," Claire nodded and looked up. While she was looking at the stars she said, "the stars in the night are so beautiful aren't they?" Claire's eyes sparkled as she was watching the stars. "They are... Just like yours," Jack stared at Claire, "hmm? Aright this is enough we need to sleep we have a lot to do tomorrow," Claire stood up and walked towards the tent with Jack following her.
