Once we got back from our 'walk', we all ate supper and they gave us quite a lot to eat. You could see all the mischievous faces from a mile away when the counsellors congratulated us on finishing the walk. Maybe it was just because I knew we were lying and that's why I could see the held back laughs, because the councillors definitely didn't notice.

Then we were forced to go to sleep straight away because we were supposed to be tired and we have to swim tomorrow. Nobody is allowed out the tents or we would all get in trouble so we did as told and got ready for bed.

I am currently lying in my sleeping bag on top of the mattress and facing away from Wyatt. I don't know how to feel about him because we did just meet but he is also really, really hot.

Even though I am lying in the sleeping bag, I feel like an Eskimo inside the tent and my hands are so cold that they have gone numb and I can feel my whole body shivering, even my teeth are chattering. The weather at night is such a drastic change compared to the day but I still prefer the cold over the hot.

"Coco?" Wyatt whispers and I just mumble out a 'yes', concentrating on keeping warm.

"Are you cold?" he whispers, noticing that I am shaking. The tents are quite small which means that Wyatt's mattress is right next to mine.

"No." I lie. He stays silent for a while and we both just lie in the darkness, I try to stop shivering but it's harder then it looks.

I hear something being unzipped, "Come, share with me." he says and I turn slightly with a frown, realizing that he means I must share a sleeping bag with him.

"I won't fit with you." I state. "Plus, I think we need to take a step back." I say, voicing the thoughts that have been on my mind since he told everyone that they can't touch me.

"Of course you'll fit... But what do you mean?" he whispers and I can tell that he is genuinely confused.

"I mean, we should just be friends. The whole 'nobody touches you but me' thing is hot but I hardly know you. Can we just be friends, at least for now?" I ask. I hate when everything goes to fast in a relationship because then the feelings go as soon as they come.

Well, you know, not speaking from experience but from movies - it's still a valid point.

"Come here," Wyatt says, holding open the sleeping bag and shifting so there is space for me. I get out of mine with a sigh and get into his, only because it's better than hypothermia. He zips up the bag and I cuddle in closer to him, enjoying the warmth from his body.

"I'm sorry about all of it. I'm fine with being friends but that's not going to stop me from liking you. I'll try, I've just never had a girl friend before. So, I'm not used to it." he explains and I nod.

"Which type," I ask, "girl friend or girlfriend?"

He stays quiet for a moment and I lie in silence, waiting for him to answer. He moves slightly and puts his arm under my head so it's not as tight in the sleeping bag. He wraps his other arm around my waist and I lean my head half against his chest. How does he always smell so good? Is it natural? It just smells amazing.

"Um, neither." he tells me and that surprises me, I would have expected someone like him to have had millions of girlfriends.

"Why not?" I ask. I really should mind my own business but what fun would that be?

"I believe in love at first sight, and I've never met a girl I've fallen in love with like that before, so I've never wanted a girlfriend- until you. But also, I go to an all boys school so it's hard to have either type." he adds as a side thought and I just nod, not answering. I was only half listening to what he was saying, the other half was just enjoying how warm he is.

"Not saying I haven't met a lot of girls, just none that stayed... I guess..." he adds, breaking the silence.

"So friends, right? Step back?" I say and I feel him nod.

"Yeah, friends..." he repeats but there is a hint of uncertainty to his words.
