The next morning we woke up early. The tent was like a sauna. We got up and outside to blasting sun. I stretched out. I looked over to Phil cowering in the opening of the tent.

"Come on Phil, you're not a vampire." I laughed.

He stood up and out, "Wow" He held his head.

"This, my friend is a hangover."

He rolled his eyes, grabbing his sun cream and following me to the others. They were talking to four girls.

"Hi Dan, Phil, this is Clara, Niamh, Rachel and Dee" Chris introduced us.

We smiled to them. Phil hugged them all while I awkwardly waved.

He then sat down and started to put sun cream on his face. I could see he was missing bits of his face while others were white where he hadn't rubbed it in enough. "Phil. come here," I reached out to wipe his face. He moved away, using his ninja arms to block mine. "Really Phil? Really?" I went to try again. He stood up.

He showed me his ninja arms and backed away from me, lightly hitting me with his hand. "Oh it's on!" I tackled him to the ground.

"Now, now children." I heard Chris laugh.

Phil rolled round and grabbed me so I was lay on top of him, his arms not letting me go, I was trying to wriggle and kick away from him. Phil was probably stronger than me and I knew that so I had to use my secret weapon. I got one arm free and started to tickle him. He immediately let go, "Dan, stop Daaaannnn" He squealed.

I straddled him pinning his arms above his head with one hand. With the other I wiped in his sun cream. "Daannnn I'm not a 3-year-old I can do it myself." He moaned.

"Yeah but you have missed patches and you'll only moan later when you get burnt." I said to him as if he were 3.

I finished rubbing it in then let him go. He walked off in a fake huff, making me smile.

Dee (I think that was her name) came up to me later in the day. "You and Phil are so sweet together; I wish I had that good a relationship."

"Yeah, Phil's my best friend." I smiled.

"What you mean you're not… oh sorry it seems that I misread… I thought… sorry." She blushed.

I realised what she had thought. Me and Phil, I smiled to myself, "Aw that's fine. I'm pretty sure Phil is as straight as a barge pole." I laughed.

"Hmm,"

"What does that mean?" I asked.

"And you?"

"What?" I creased my forehead.

"You said that you're pretty sure Phil is straight. What about you?" She asked.

"I don't know but like I said, Phil's straight so even if I… It just wouldn't." I shook it off, why were we even talking about this.

"It's just it seemed like he was really flirty with you earlier, PJ and Chris said he's not like that around them." She shrugged.

But that's how me and Phil always acted, it wasn't unusual was it? Yeah we'd been messing around more and somehow spending even more time with each other, but we'd always acted this way… been this way.
