A little one-shot about Caitlyn and Nate, who I think, while clichéd, would be a cute couple. Review and tell me what you think?

Caitlyn was feeling very under whelmed. Was that even a word? Probably not, but it described how she felt perfectly. After living through all of the Shane/Mitchie/Tess drama, kitchen duty, and Final Jam, the absolute silence was startling. Caitlyn was sitting on the docks, unknowingly on the same spot Shane Gray sat while he played "Gotta Find You" for Mitchie. She was facing out into the middle of the lake, with her feet dangling in the water.
Hearing a twig snap she spun around quickly to see the deer-in-the-headlights stare of Nate Thomas, the youngest member of Connect 3.
"Sorry," he said, blushing slightly. "I didn't know anyone was here."
Caitlyn smiled. "It's okay; I was actually getting kind of freaked out by the silence." She laughed at his confused 'huh?', "After all of the drama that's happened lately? The quiet is… unsettling."
"Oh yeah, I get what you mean. You're Caitlyn, right? Mitchie's friend?"
Caitlyn was shocked. He knew who she was?
"Um, yeah, that's me." She gave a nervous laugh. Why was she acting like this? No boy had ever had an effect on her like this. "Forever known as the best friend."
"Hey, you're more than that. I heard some campers say you made most of the background music for Final Jam. That's pretty amazing if you ask me." He blushed slightly, again. Surely, Caitlyn thought, that's a good sign, right? "Not that you asked me. But it's still pretty amazing." He put his arm behind his head in a cute embarrassed gesture.
Wait, cute? Did she really just think that? Heh, guess she did. She wasn't going to lie to herself, he was cute.
"Anyway, I was passing through and I saw you sitting here. You looked so peaceful I didn't want to disturb you, but when I was going to move that branch snapped."
"Again, it's cool. Um, this might sound kind of forward, but do you want to go hang out with me and everyone in our cabin? Everyone who played in Final Jam is going to be there." It was Caitlyn's turn to blush, as Nate looked her in the eyes (ha!) and smiled.
"Sure. As long as you tell me more about yourself while we walk." He held out his hand to help her up and waited while she put on her shoes.
Caitlyn didn't know what was going to happen between them, if anything. She liked that he was calm about everything. Caitlyn still felt under whelmed, but this time she liked it.
