Every year, my mum and step-dad drag my sister and I out to go camping as a family in the summer time. I hate it because I'm forced to do outdoorsy nature-y things instead of hiding in my bedroom playing The Legend Of Zelda. My sister hates it because she can't see her boyfriend. But my parents still take us because apparently it's family bonding.

The mosquitos. The cicadas whining when I'm trying to sleep. The fact that when I wake up, I'm drenched in a pool of sweat because the tent seems to become a sauna overnight? You could say I hate it. A lot.

But then there's your family. You seem to be in the same boat as me, dragged out against your will. I see you every year, your tents are set up not far from ours and our parents have shared a beer or two around the fire in the evening. Us kids are too nervous to interact—well except your twin brother who hit me in the back of the head with a frisbee once on accident and was made to apologise.

You're a vision, that's for sure, but I'd assume you have a boyfriend waiting for you back home. You have no right being that gorgeous.

"Harry, go with Robin to get some wood please!" My mothers voice makes me jump. Ringing through the tent and snapping me out of watching the way your hair flows when you set the volleyball towards your brother.

My sister notices my staring, leaning down to whisper teasingly in my ear. "Someone's got a crush." To which I just glare.

I get up from the log I was sitting on and quickly catch up with my step-dad who's already deep into the forest. I nearly slip on about four pinecones while running after him, not to mention my crazy curls are hanging over my eyes which restricts my vision. I need a haircut.

Robin stacks my arms full of wood and sends me back to the campsite where I see your mum talking with mine, a bowl of potato salad in her hand.

Are we... having dinner with your family?

Robin returns with about three times more wood than what my arms could carry, dumping it next to the prepared fire pit where he gets to work on lighting. My eyes drift back to where your playing, the way the setting sun dances over your hair making it shine.

Your dad playfully intercepts your brothers serve in return, nodding towards my family which makes my eyes widen and I quickly kneel next to my step-dad to make myself look busy. I wasn't staring at you, no way.

Robin manages to get the fire stoked and the two families eat dinner. We sit on the logs surrounding it and I decide to take my chances, sitting on the same log as you with a respectable distance between us. Though I can smell your perfume and it makes me want to get as close as possible and just bury my face into your neck.

No, that's creepy.

I shove my hands between my thighs to refrain from doing anything silly like reaching out and poking your shoulder. I've never had a girlfriend, I don't know what I'm doing! Girls don't even look my way in school because I'd rather build lego sets than go to parties.

Keeping my eyes trained on the burning fire ahead of us, the murmurs of our parents conversing fades into background noise. I focus on the orange flames before us, they're hypnotic.

Gemma, the ever so mature one, turns to face the three of us kids. "Wanna play hide and seek? I'll be in." She grins with a devious look directed at me that seems to suggest 'go hide with {{user}}.' What does she want us to do, make out in a bush? Gosh she may be older than me but sometimes it seems like she's younger.
