It was super late when we all walked back to the chalet. Rick and I led the group, with Zach and Gabrielle stopping every few moments to kiss or disappear into the shadows. Jakob and Amber walked a ways behind, their heads pressed close as they murmured to each other.

We reached the door to the chalet and, after checking the coast was clear, crept in like a bunch of misfit ninjas. Gabrielle laughed and grabbed my hand as we raced up the stairs as quickly—and quietly—as we could.

Amber’s room was first, so we dropped her off and bade her goodnight.

Gabrielle took her time snogging the face off Zach outside our room, leaving me and Rick to smile awkwardly at each other.

“Jeez, man, you could have done that outside and saved us all this embarrassment,” Rick said, smacking his friend on the shoulder.

Zach and Gabrielle separated, grinning like idiots at each other.

“Goodnight, then,” Gabrielle said in a dreamy voice. She waggled her fingers in a wave then darted inside our room.

Zach punched Rick good-naturedly on the shoulder as he walked past him, heading for the stairs.

“Thanks for sitting with me tonight, it was nice getting to know you,” I said. My stomach fizzed and I couldn’t tell if it was because I was nervous about what Rick expected of me, or because I was starting to like him.

“You, too.” Rick stepped forward. He placed his hand on my waist and dipped his head to kiss my cheek. As he pulled back, he winked and turned to follow his friend to the stairs.

I pressed my fingertips to my cheek, a smile spreading across my face.

The door to the bedroom swung open and Gabrielle popped her head out. She grabbed my arm and hauled me inside. “Get in here! We have to talk about tonight.”

We flopped down on my bed and pulled the sheets up over our heads. “You like Zach, then?” I asked her.

She shrugged. “He’s a good kisser, and so good-looking. What about you? Are you into Rick?”

I released a long breath as I thought about her question. “I think he’s nice. Gorgeous, obviously. But I don’t think I’m really feeling it.”

“Poor Rick,” Gabrielle said, pouting. “Oh well, at least you have something nice to look at all summer.”

I blinked at her before we both dissolved into giggles. One of the other girls made a noise in her sleep, so we clamped our hands over our mouths to smother our laughter.

This summer was set to be spectacular.
