Waiting for James

I was heading back to my cabin from the lake and my talk with Chey and saw Xavier by the door.
"Whats wrong Xavier?"
I asked with a look of concern on my face. I hadn't seen him all day and to admit it I actually missed the guy, he was like a good friend to me now.

I didn't know if I should tell him about Chey but I decided to tell him if he asked.
"It was good I just went for a swim and decided to come back to my cabin."
I realized I was blushing and looked away so that he wouldn't see. I had had a very fun day that day at the lake and I couldn't wait to go to the strawberry fields.

I realized that he was having a hard time to ask me that question and I felt bad for him.
I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Listen, if you like her go for it and just see what happens."
I realized that I was thinking about what I had done and I decided to tell him so that it would make him feel more confident.
"Earlier at the lake I met a girl named Chey..."
I was having an equally hard time telling him.
"She was really pretty and i was nervous to be around her alone...but as I was alone with her I realized she was really cool and that I really liked her."
Now for the hard part...
"I kissed her and it turned out to be a good idea because she kissed me back."
I took my hand off his shoulder and looked into his eyes waiting for a reply.

I forced a smile at his lame joke but after a while I couldnt help but laugh.
"Oh my Gods Xavier!!!"
I didnt stop laughing for a full minute and after I was feeling really good.
"I needed that Xavier thanks."
He really was my best friend that I met at camp...even if I had only known him for a short time.
