"Would you look at that, the lovebirds finally decided to join us!" Julian's voice brought a color to Kaycee's cheeks. He wasn't entirely wrong. Her and Sean were late for their camping weekend. A few weeks ago, she, Tahani, Tati, Josh, Bailey, Kenneth, Sean and Julian decided they needed something to look forward to, other than their dance classes. So, they agreed upon going camping this weekend. Everything was settled: where they were going, what they were going to eat and who would bring what. She'd looked forward to this weekend so much that she couldn't get it out of her head. But when Sean called her this morning to ask her if she could come over and help him bake cookies before they went to their camping place, she just couldn't say no. After all, every moment they spent together was a moment to cherish. So, she packed her stuff and went to Sean's. They laughed, took funny pictures of each other and ate dough till their stomachs hurt.

When they were together, it was easy so forget the time.

"I'd shut your mouth if I were you, Julian. If you stop embarrassing Kaycee right now, I'll think about giving you one of the cookies we baked today." Sean's deep voice shook her out of her thoughts. She sent him a thankful smile. After Sean's 'threat', no one made fun of them anymore, who would risk not getting Sean's famous cookies anyway?

********************

It was one of the best nights of her life. One filled with old stories, laughter, dancing and singing (everyone sang off-key, except Sean of course). Right now, they were sitting around the huge bonfire they'd built. While she watched the flames of the fire reflect in her friends' eyes, it occured to her that this was the happiest that she's ever been. All those emotions made her shiver.

"Hey, are you cold? Here, put on my sweatshirt." Sean said in a worried tone.

"Oh no, it's n-"

"Nonsense. Here, the fire will warm me up, it's no problem for me." And before Kaycee could comprehend what was happening, Sean had pulled his 'Lewser'-sweatshirt over his head, leaving him in his T-shirt, and gave it to her. Smiling, Kaycee took it and put it over her head. Of course this whole thing didn't go unnoticed by their friends, who couldn't help but tease them a bit. Kaycee couldn't care less. Sean's sweatshirt felt nice. It smelled like him.

"Don't be surprised if you can't wake me up tomorrow, I'm exhausted!" Bailey's jawnes were contagious, and Kaycee couldn't hold hers back anymore. "Yeah, me too, I'll sleep like a baby tonight!" Suddenly, all the boys except Sean began grinning, while the girls looked a bit guilty. "Oh, I'm sure you'll get a good night sleep, Kayc", Julian smirked. "Yeah, very cosy!", Josh agreed with his friend. Kaycee raised an eyebrow.

"What exactly are you talking about?"

"Oh, nothing Kayc, just saying you look really tired."

" I don't believe a word of what jou guys are saying, you're acting way too mysterious for it just to be 'nothing'. Seriously, what's going on?"

This time, Tati began speaking: "We're really sorry Kaycee, Sean, but, well, we uhm..kind of forgot about you guys while we arrived and immediately began stuffing the tents with our sleeping bag and things like that. Bailey, Tahani and I are sleeping in one and Kenneth, Julian and Josh are sleeping in the second one. That means there is only one tent left for you two to sleep in. Only when we were done unpacking, did we realise our mistake, but then the boys didn't want to rearrange everything that we'd done, saying we put too much work in it already and they wanted to take a nap. And, well, we figured jou guys wouldn't mind, because you've been best friends for ages..."

Tati fell silent, not really knowing what else to say.

'Well, it wouldn't have been awkward', Kaycee thought, 'if I didn't have feeling for my 'best friend' and if we wouldn't have been flirting for at least six months. But there's nothing we can do about it now. Time to quit being a baby and face the facts!'
