I woke up, half in, half out of my sleeping bag. Crystal's head was right by the door and Tori had the pillow on her head. I chuckled to myself, grabbed a hoody and my wellies and slipped out of the tent. I noticed Logan sat against a tree. I walked over,

"Morning" I smiled,

"Morning"

"So what are you doing sat leaning against a tree, is this a normal thing to do when you go camping?" he smiled,

"It's my normal thing, the others don't usually wake up until like 11am, I can never sleep so I usually go for a walk then chill out waiting for them against the tree, just thinking and listening you know. I could think for years" he told me,

"Well do you mind if I join you?"

"Not at all," I smiled and plonked myself next to him. We kind of just chatted. He still wouldn't tell me about the Sanchez's or Trent. Though I had doubts that they actually hated each other anymore and that they were all just putting it on for some weird reason. Like Logan said, the others crawled out of the tents at 11am on the dot,

"Told you" he said.

"Morning you two" Tori said cheerfully,

"Morning Tor'" I replied,

"Morning"

"How long have you two been up?" Crystal asked, tying up her hair,

"Not long" we lied,

"I'm so tired" Brad yawned. We all laughed. It was then all hands to the gun, Crystal took charge and set us all jobs. She started up the fire, Brad and Logan were going to the cars to get the sausages, rolls and beans out of the cool box and Tori and I were getting the pots and metal roddy things to stab the sausages on for grilling and cooking. I wasn't entirely sure I wanted to eat any food we cooked though.

I have to admit, we did all right. Obviously they'd all done this tons of times before. Crystal cracked open the beans into the pan and cooked them over the fire. Then we all held our sausages over the fire to cook them. Took quite a while and I wouldn't eat mine until Logan tried to make sure I didn't die. He didn't, so I ate it. So basically we had sausage baps and beans and orange juice cartons. I feel very proud that I actually ate it all and cooked it all. It was great eating breakfast in the forest around the camp fire with my friends. Afterwards we all washed somehow and changed. Around midday we zipped up the tents, made sure everything was out of the way and headed to the cars.

"Shall we go to the cinema first, then the arcade before having dinner?" Crystal asked,

"There's a cinema and arcade in town" I said surprised, she laughed,

"No, it's in the next town, about 15 minutes away, it's way bigger and has everything"

"Oh...I was going to say"

"I think we should take a vote" Crystal announced.

"Is she always so bossy?" I whispered to Tori,

"Always, you get used to it though" she whispered back.

"But you girls will vote for something girly, let's choose 3 films, then vote on them" Brad complained then said, "Humming bird, G.I Joe Retaliation, Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters"

"They are all action in some way" Crystal said,

"But G.I Joe Retaliation has Channing Tatum in it" I told her,

"Oh, okay, G.I Joe" She said,

"Yeah same"

"G.I Joe" I said,
