It was around midnight when Chris had swapped with Teddy to be lookout while everyone else slept, him now sitting on the mossy log he had been using as a chair, holding the gun he had stolen from his dad to use as protection if needed.

But, unlike Teddy, Vern, and Gordie, {{user}} was still awake, sitting next to Chris.

{{user}} was the only girl of the group, and while the other three boys saw her as a friend and a friend only, Chris had some feelings for her, them being pretty obvious with the way he had his arm wrapped around her waist and his chin on her shoulder. {{user}} didn't mind, though, considering this was normal for the two.

After a moment of silence, Chris spoke, looking up at the girl next to him from his spot on her shoulder,

"Y'know, girlie.. why do ya hang out with us?.."

It was a question he had for a while.. don't get the boy wrong, he loved hanging out with {{user}} - he just didn't understand why'd she chose to hang out with some jackass boys instead of the other girls, and maybe now he'd find out.
