That night was restless to say the least.

Every time someone walked in or out of the room I was awaken, the girls' night chatting kept me half awake too.

Anytime I did sleep though it was a light one that didn't do any good to rest me.

Finally in the morning I was shocked awake by some bug walking on my nose; probably a fly that had bumped on it, and I brushed my hand, balled into a fist around my sheet, on it. I snuggled again, wishing to sleep more; actually it would have been nice to just sleep for the next three days, just sleep through the trip as if it had never happened.

But the damn bug came back to annoy me again, and I brushed my nose again, groaning a little in complaint.

Stupid bug!

Stupid camp!

Stupid trip!

Stupid me...

I sighed heavily, trying to sleep again, trying to free my thoughts of Emily and even Daph and mostly Blake, but the damn freaking bug came back to freaking annoy me again and this time I hissed in frustration and opened my eyes, ready to go bug freaking hunting, seriously I would do MAJOR damage to the fly, but instead found myself staring into big gray eyes. Smiling warm gray eyes with just a hint of dark blue in them.

Blake just kept staring at me, folding his arms on the side of my bed, resting his chin on the top of his hands, smirking slightly.

"I need coffee" he smirked more.

I wasn't sure if I should be pissed or pissed.

I turned around, facing the wall, showing him my back and groaned "Come back in another life"

What the hell was wrong with him? Did he honestly think he could just walk in here like this and not have me mad at him?!

But then it dawned on me... it could... I mean he could not even be aware I had been mad at him, was still mad at him...

God I was so pathetic...

For two seconds Blake was silent but then finally said "Fine"

I wanted to cry out for him to stay but I just kept staring at the wall. I wasn't going to just pretend like what had happened yesterday hadn't, I wasn't going to act like I wasn't completely pissed and I hadn't fought tears all night long! But instead of hearing his footsteps leaving, I heard the wood of the ladder squeak.

I automatically turned around and there was Blake, climbing up to get to my bed bunk.

What the...

"Scooch over Pumpkin" Blake laughed at my completely confused face, getting his right feet on the side of the wood, lifting himself up, got on my bed bunk and came to lay beside me.

All the while he was doing that I was just staring at him almost mouth gaping open, completely frozen...

Now the thing was... those bed bunk were small. Like smaller than the usual single beds. And because of the roof in angle you couldn't really sit without having your head pressed on it and your back hunched. So if you went up, you had to lie down.

And that's what Blake was doing, right beside me, settling himself.

I tried to back away against the wall as much as I could, to not make any physical contact with him but it was pretty much useless. My right arm was touching his right arm and the side of my hip his... and damn he smelled good and I had missed that smell last night...

Backing my face away from his as much as I could, trying to not breathe my nice morning breath in his face I mumbled "Huh Blake?"

"What?" he asked, settling his head on my pillow comfortably, smirking with his eyes closed, way too close to me.

Had he been like this with Emily and Daph? With that thought in mind my next words just flooded out of my mouth "Get away?"

Why did it have to sound more like a question than an order though? Because I liked him and I wanted to have him here in my bed bunk with me and that for some idiotic reason it almost felt like I should just be putting the whole yesterday deal out of my head and...

And that was this exact kind of thought, that "Aww let's not make a big deal out of things" that makes you end up in your boyfriend's room with him telling you he's gay!

Blake slightly turned his head to the left and opened only one eyes to look at me, one side of his mouth rising "Gotta be more convincing than that Pumpkin"

I glared at him, and then without thinking about it, pushed him to make him fall off the bed bunk.

When I did that, Blake's body jerked, right hand raised, and then he hurled himself towards me to not fall and his right arm went to rest right on my left side and well he was pretty much on top of me inches from me face and all I could think was "Morning breath, MORNING BREATH!"

"Go ahead, say it"

Morning breath?

"Wh... wha..." I stuttered unable to form a coherent sentence.

He smells good, his body is almost on mine, I want to lick his chest and kiss his lips...

"What's bothering you, just say it" Blake smirked.

That you're like almost on top of me and I trying to not tear off your clothes right now because I'm extremely mad at you?

For some reason I didn't think that's what he wanted to know.

So I narrowed my eyes at him. I was mad at him for pete sake! "Oh and why would I do that? Why would I need to do what you ask?"

"Because you weight what? You're five eight and borderline too thin so I'd say what? Hundred and twenty pounds at the top? I'm six three, hundred and seventy something pounds and I'm squishing you right now. Well barely. So if you don't answer I'll squish more. And trust me, one hundred and seventy pounds of squishing Blakeness can be... unsettling" his eyes were almost evil when he said that last word.

"Get OFF of me!" I hissed, but made no attempts at pushing him off again.

"Answer my question"

"You know what? Some girl in here is bound to come help me out!"

"Everyone is downstairs eating expect for Felicity but she's snoring and probably humping her dark doggy prince of the night and then there's an unidentified girl in another bed bunk but she has those weird night mask and she's wearing earplugs so she can't help you and Daphnee's pretending to sleep and trying to ignore us"

"DAPH!" I automatically shouted.

But I could hear her groaning and tossing in her bed, obviously ignoring us.

"Tell me what's bothering you. Just tell me and I'll get off of you then we can go make coffee and eat breakfast!"

Okay MAYBE I was arguing more and not dropping the point mostly because in a sick perverse way I like our position right now...

Bad Lexi!

"And you know if you answer and come with me I'll let you help us set up the traps for Clark later" Blake added

"Traps?" I frowned.

Blake smirked, his hands still resting on my left side, his upper body still above mine, not really touching though "We brought saran-wrap and duck tape"

"Should I be scared?" I snorted.

I shouldn't be encouraging him but when did I ever do what I should be doing with Blake?

"No but Clark should. I know his night habits now, I heard him go pee twice during the night... well at least I hope that was it..." he answered thoughtfully on that last part.

Gross.

But something else had registered and I wanted to punch him, actually I did try to knee him on the hip.

"Blake? Have you slept?" I sighed, discouraged.

Blake smirked widely "Be more specific"

I rolled my eyes "Did you sleep tonight?"

Why was I doing this? Seriously I should be ignoring him, pushing him off my bed, heck screaming at him and punching him, I shouldn't be keeping up with this ridiculous conversation.

Really, why the hell was I doing this? I was freaking PISSED at him!

"By sleeping do you mean the natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body, in which the eyes usually close and consciousness is completely or partially lost, so that there is a decrease in bodily movement and responsiveness to external stimuli." Blake ranted.

Smartass.

"Yes"

"No"

I sighed again, closing my eyes shortly "This is going to be a thing, with us right? You not sleeping. Seriously Blake what the hell are you thinking, how hard it is to freaking sleep? You. Need. To. Sleep."

Us. Thing.

There was no us, there was not thing... I should realize that...

I should drop this; I should stop obsessing over him I should just stop it all, I was only going to get hurt! Last night wasn't a proof of that? Why was I so freaking weak when it came to Blake?

"And how would you like to have Felicity scream incantation in the middle of the night?"

I frowned "What's that got to do with anything"

"Why do you think my room is soundproof?" Blake smirked.

Oh god, can this boy get any more confusing?

"Your room is soundproof?"

"Ya... hadn't I told you that?"

"Not that I recall... You're diverting." I pointed out.

Blake sighed over me and I had no doubt that if his hands weren't supporting him he would have run them in his hair in that sexy move he did. "I scream when I have nightmares. It's been pretty bad lately and I know the second I sleep right now I'll have nightmares and then I'll scream like a kid meeting Freddy Kruger. SO, with that said, I'm exhausted, the chances of me falling on you asleep get higher and higher with every ticking seconds"

I tried to back away from him, get away but it was useless, the bed bunk was tiny "You're an ass"

Blake legendary smirked lighted his face "Is that what's bothering you? Because it hasn't seemed to bother you lately?"

"What do you want me to say Blake?" I sighed

"I want you to tell me what's bothering you!"

Prick. Idiot. Annoying asshole. Freaking dumbass. A whole list of other names.

"Because you don't know it!?" I hissed at him.

"I do know it" he nodded, still enjoying this.

Oh this had gone too far!

So what? This was amusing to him? My feelings were entertaining?

"Then why do you want me to tell you if you already know the answer?" I almost yelled.

I hate him. I hate him, I hate him!

"I want you to admit it out loud!"

"You're an ASS!" I yelled again.

"Just say it Pumpkin"

"What? You want me to tell you it pissed me off that you talked for god knows how long with a girl, all alone in your room, that it angers me that I have no clue what you and Daph spoke about yesterday, that I hate the fact that it bothers me when it shouldn't because why SHOULD it bother me!?" I started to rant frantically.

Oh god this sounded bad to say, even for me!

Why the hell had I just said that? Why the HELL had I just admit this? What was wrong with me? Saying this was as bad as telling him I liked him wasn't it? And right now I didn't like him. He only got a confession out of me while I got NOTHING!

Nothing!

Blake smirked over me, and then let himself fall back beside me, pushing himself with his hand "See, wasn't so hard to admit now was it?"

I slapped his stomach, hissing myself up on my elbow, glaring "I hate you"

The way I said it, wasn't amused, it was pissed, utterly pissed.

How could he find this amusing!? What kind of prick was he?

Maybe I should just retrieve my pink Swiss pocket knife I had brought in my bag and stab him repeatedly!

And Blake just stayed there, in my freaking bed bunk, and he actually had the nerve to settle in, trying to slip under the covers I had brought; I couldn't find my sleeping bag, and he was smirking!

"You ARE aware that I'm mad at you right now, right?" I glared at him but there was no point, he had his eyes closed.

And his left leg was touching my right under the covers...

Gosh dammit! Focus Lexi!

"Ya" Blake just yawned.

"So what? It doesn't matter to you?!" I angrily snorted in disbelief

Okay I sounded like some hysterical not-even girlfriend! I should just drop it and ignore him... I shouldn't even have asked that question or wait for an answer!

I was pissed yes. But there was no point in showing it to him.

I let myself fall back on my back and stared at the ceiling, thinking about punching him a few times. This boy was making me violent!

"I think I've already mentioned that you're too quick to judge Pumpkin" Blake whispered beside me.

"Oh and THAT'S just the perfect answer Blake, wow!" I hissed at him, raising my upper body again, my face a little over his to make eye contact; his eyes were open now, but I got a little worked up and then hit my head on the ceiling. "Oww, frack!"

Stupid bed bunk!

Stupid CEILING!

Stupid Blake!

I rubbed the back of my head while Blake chuckled lightly, closing his eyes again.

"You know what? Why don't we just sleep, because you obviously look like you need it too and than you can scream at me all you want, even if it's completely misplaced" Blake yawned again

"How so?" I glared.

Blake turned his head to the right and asked loudly "Daphnee what did we talk about?"

"Oh we didn't talk we mostly made out" Daph answered from her bed bunk.

I looked around trying to find something to throw at her.

Blake laughed at my reaction, I guess my face showed a lot of anger or something seriously could I be more freaking obvious! He must just SEE right now how much this bothered me, and the mentioning that it DID bother me that he was alone with other girls...

Seriously all of this sounded just like a love declaration right?

And I hated him for making me say these things, for forcing a confession out of me when he wasn't giving me anything! Was this only a game to him?

It wasn't a love declaration I should be making right now, but a hate one!

"Lighten up Pumpkin, Daphnee and I have common friends that we needed to talk about"

"Ya don't worry Lex, you can have all the football boys, I prefer the cool guys" Daphnee added.

Right now I pretty much just wanted to kill the football player beside me!

"Cool guys! Ya RIGHT!" Blake snorted, shaking his head in disapprobation.

"You know what Running-Back boy, shut up otherwise I'll help Lexi beat you up and I know she's armed"

Blake looked at me one eyebrow raised and I smirked at him.

Daph knew me so well!

"Hmm... that sounds naughty for some reason..." Blake trailed thoughtfully.

"You dumb prick!" I exclaimed and hit him on the stomach but Blake grabbed my hand and started to tickle my side so I just twitched a little, hit my knee on the freaking ceiling, seriously that ceiling had to go, and tried to slap Blake or something but my hand wasn't getting out of his grip and then other one was just trying to stop him from tickling me "Blake I will hurt you! Stop!" I breathed between laugh.

Here I was mad as hell at him and I was laughing... I seriously hated that dumb prick!

"You're already hitting me all the time; seriously I should fill up a complaint or something..." Blake said in a teasing voice.

I glared at him "Die!"

"Thanks. So point being, Daphnee and I had to talk about a few things, which you can ask her all about and as for Emily, see how cooperative I am, I'm bringing it up all by myself! Anyway, I knew her before she started to come to our school, she was going to another one before but she had to change... she's been through crap and sometimes she comes and talks to me because well... I know crap." he explained, in an almost sad voice

"What kind of crap..." I trailed.

Dead brother kind of crap I wanted to add but didn't.

Seriously bringing up things like that just made me sound mean now...

Blake took a deep breath. he was still holding my hand. "Not mine to talk about. You can always ask her too..."

I snorted a little "So what? You're like the therapist of the place?"

"Sort of... I'm observant... unlike someone else..."Blake smirked and then squeezed my hand to stop me from punching him "Now now Pumpkin, no hitting the future Dr. Phil alright?"

I glared again, but it wasn't as filled with anger as it had been anymore "I hate you"

Blake smiled and closed his eyes, placing my hand he was still holding on his chest over his heart "Ya I know. Love you too. Anyway, can we sleep now? It would be awesome"

"Whatever" I mumbled, trying to keep my voice levelled, but it was hard with Blake's heart beating on my palm.

Why was it that I was so bi-polar with him? How could I jump from wanting to murder him to almost melting with his touch?

"Thanks... your bed bunk is surprisingly comfortable, more than mine anyway" Blake smiled, his eyes closed.

And back to the "I want to attack him with my lips" scenarios.

"My bed bunk rocks" I nodded, trying to distract my head.

You hate him Lexi, remember?

Ya probably not...

Blake yawned before answering "Ya it does"

"Question like that," I frowned "won't you have nightmares if you sleep now?"

The corner of Blake's mouth twitch upwards a bit "Well for one thing I won't be waking up everyone in the middle of the night, I'll just be screaming in your ears. And I trust you'll have the decency to wake me up if I do start screaming"

And I was completely softened again "They're really bad lately?" I asked in a small voice.

Blake nodded just a little.

"Is there a reason or something?" I said, my voice still as low.

"I stopped trying to make sense of my head, you should too Pumpkin" Blake chuckled silently, his chest shaking under my hand, and I couldn't help it, my thumb was rubbing his chest, just lightly though, trying to be comforting somehow.

"Would you two shut up!? I'm trying to sleep here!" the unidentified girl from the bed bunks below screamed and Blake and I muffled our laugh.

"I'm sleeping now" Blake mouthed to me, and I smiled at him.

I nodded in agreement and turned my head, to stare at the ceiling again, my hand still on Blake's chest.

Wow... I had SERIOUS problems now...

The whole bi-polar thing... and the "confession"...

Oh crap...

Of course I wanted to slap myself right now. What an idiot!

But what could I do about it... I liked Blake, and when it came to him there was nothing rational about it...

In the end Blake didn't sleep, I only mentioned Blake in this scenario because there was no way in hell I could have slept in my tiny bed bunk with Blake beside me like that; to say I was tense was the understatement of the year.

People had started to come up and they were talking loudly and there was Stacey definite high pitch voice we could hear even when she was outside the room. When we had heard her, Blake had hid his head under the cover. The face he had made was priceless.

So we had finally gotten out of my bed bunk and went downstairs to go eat and to make coffee.
