The TV lights up the room at one o' clock in the morning. Jake is in the tent next to me and Madison is sleeping in her room. If you haven't caught on yet, we're having a sleepover. Whenever I sleep over, Jake and I camp out... In his living room.

Madison and Jake have these tents that are box-shaped and have holes on each side for an entrance. The tents can connect together, lining up the hole entrances. So Jake and I lay down next to the holes connected so we can talk throughout the night. So we can actually get some sleep, we drape blankets over the tents to keep warmth in and lights out.

I'm just laying down in my tent, watching TV, wondering if Jake is still awake. Earlier, his parents walked into the living room, so we had to pretend to be asleep.

As if reading my mind, Jake's head pops into my tent and his voice is a whisper. "Lexi? You awake?"

I smile. "As you can see, I still am."

"I need to tell you something." He says as he crawls into my tent. "It's about who I like."

"Ooh!" I squeal. "Spill! Who do you like?" Usually, I know who Jake likes, but for some reason there's something different about this girl.

Jake smirks. "Sorry, still can't tell you. But, I do need your advice. I want to tell my crush that I like her, but I'm afraid she won't feel the same way." He says with a bit of desperation in his voice. "How should I tell her?"

I think about his situation for a second, then speak. "I think you should just tell her. It's okay if she doesn't like you back; You can move on, but she's gonna have to go by everyday wondering what she missed out on." Jake smiles, but it fades. I then realize I'm talking like he's already been rejected. "Although, I bet she'll feel the same way. You're a great guy, Jake. You're sweet, funny, cute, a little self-centered, but you still put others before yourself."

That brought back Jake's smile. "Okay. I'll tell you who I like." He pauses. "I like...." Jake takes a deep breath in, and his lower lip twitches as he says, "I like this girl named Sonia."

"You're lying." I accuse with a smug expression on my face.

Jake puts a small, sad smile on his face. "How can you tell?"

"Jake, I know you." I smirk. "Plus, your lower lip twitches whenever you lie."

"Okay." Jake says. "I'll tell you the truth. But don't get mad, okay?" I nod and he takes in a deep breath again. "I like you..." Jake watches me closely, trying to read my expression. At first, I'm stunned, but then I just realize that I feel the same way. "So...?"

"So... what?" I ask, confused.

"So, do you like me back?" Jake asks, a little impatient.

Like I said before, I do, but I'm not ready to tell him yet. "Can I give you my answer tomorrow?" I ask, a little scared about how he'll react.

Jack gives me a sad smile again. "Always gotta make me wait, huh?" He sighs, and crawls back into his tent.

A small pang of guilt hits me, but I brush it off and wrap myself in the blankets that cover me. As I start to fall asleep, something moves my tent. I freeze and pretend to sleep. I feel something soft on my cheek and it sends chills down my spine. I wait a few seconds, then open my eyes to see Jake's back turned to me to exit out of tent; Jake just kissed me on the cheek! I scramble out of my blankets, wrap my arms around him, and kiss Jake's cheek. "I like you back."

The End.
This daydream is during a sleepover, and someone confesses his feelings.
