“Kate?” I heard from downstairs.

“Yeah, just come up,” I replied. It was my friend Kim coming over. We had been friends for years. I’m sixteen, she’s seventeen, and we had planned a camping trip for the night.

“Hey! So have you organised everything you’ll need?” she asked me.

“I think so; it’s only one night. I’ve got a new outfit, boots, underwear and a waterproof jacket because let’s face it, we’re in Scotland after all. Last week was dreadful!” I told her. She laughed and told me that was true.

She already had the tent and sleeping bags in the car. There was a cool bag in her hands that her parents had given her. She was driving us there as she had passed her test recently. We were so excited! I’d made up sandwiches for us, plus we had loads of snacks and drinks sorted out.

“I’ve told Jordan and Colin that we’re going,” Kim said. Jordan was her boyfriend of a few months and Colin, his best friend.

“Cool, what did he say?” I asked.

“He wants them to come too,” she said, laughing.

“I said I would ask you first, though. It’s our weekend after all,” said Kim.

I sighed internally. Ever since she got with Jordan, he came everywhere with us. I barely spent time with her on my own anymore. Not that I really minded overall. Jordan was really nice, and he was funny too. Though wherever Jordan was, Colin was.

While I had a good laugh with Colin, I could tell he fancied me. He was not subtle about it, and I just wasn’t sure if I was as interested in him as he was in me.

“Fine, they can come, but I AM NOT sharing a tent with Colin,” I laughed.

“No way, they’ll bring their own tent, and we’ll have ours. It will be so much fun,” Kim giggled.

“Right, I’m all sorted,” I said. We went downstairs to get all the food packed into the cool bag. I grabbed a bottle of wine from my parents’ rack because they had so much they wouldn’t notice. Then we headed off.

Jordan and Colin were meeting us there. As we listened to music in the car on our way up to the woods, all I could think was how much fun tonight would be.

When we got to the campsite entrance, the barrier was in place. We called Kim’s parents, and they checked online; the campsite had closed due to all the rain last week! We said we would find somewhere close by and hung up.

“Well, this is shit; bloody rain ruining our plans,” I said. I was so annoyed.

Kim was quiet, and I asked her what she was thinking. She looked up at me with a grin on her face.

“Kate! This is perfect! The whole campsite to ourselves. We’ll just park the car here, walk in a bit, and find a dry patch! What could be better than knowing we won’t have to worry about anyone else!” she squealed excitedly.

I couldn’t help but laugh. Kim always did find the best outcome in any scenario.

“Oh my goodness, you’re so right! What will we tell our folks, though? I’m sure yours have called mine to tell them about the campsite issue,” I said. Our parents talked far too often for our liking.

“We’ll tell them we drove further along the road until we found one that had space. You text your mum and tell her you tried to phone. Say the signal was bad and not to worry if they don’t hear from us.” Kim grinned.

“Okay, okay, I’m a terrible liar, so no way she would believe that if I called her anyway,” I said. I sent the text off. We opened the car to unpack, and just then the boys pulled up.

We told them the plan, and they exchanged a look and a smirk. They did indeed have their own tent. Jordan had brought some beer, and Colin had swiped a bottle of vodka!

We put on our wellies, grabbed our bags and tents, and started walking. The car park was flooded, and the ground was so muddy and wet! We had walked for about 20 minutes, and the boys were starting to say that this was a bad idea. Then I noticed it. The ground was getting more solid under our feet and less wet.

“Look! The ground is far better now. Let’s keep going for another 5 or 10 minutes,” I said.

“Yeah, come on, guys, we’re nearly at a good bit!” shouted Kim.

Jordan ran up behind her and kissed her, saying it better be worth the walk!

Another few minutes and we were at a dry clearing. Finally! We all looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Kim and I got the tents and sleeping bags set up while the boys went to gather some wood for the fire pit.

We were just starting to worry when they appeared. It was tough to find wood that wasn’t wet, but they had managed to find just enough. They laid it out and were arguing over the best way to start the fire.

“I was in the scouts, and you need 2 wee bits of wood,” said Colin. They get rubbed together.

“Yeah, and that stone thing - where will we find one of them?” asked Jordan.

“Guys,” I tried to interrupt. I was holding out the lighter I had brought. It was no use, though, and they kept bickering. Kim rolled her eyes at me, and I laughed.

We had newspaper with us and now wood, so I started building the fire up. Jordan noticed first and said they would have done it.

“I’m capable of putting a fire together; I’ve even got a lighter,” I said, getting it out of my pocket.

Colin laughed and said it was a good job well done. After the fire was lit, we settled in for a relaxing evening.

We ate, poured drinks, and laughed and laughed. Kim was sitting in Jordan’s lap, and Colin and I were sitting on a couple of the big rocks meant to act as seats. I realised I needed the bathroom and wandered along a little trail off the clearing until I found a tree.

I squatted down beside it and relieved myself. As I stood to pull my underwear back up, I heard the brush of some leaves. I glanced up and saw Colin watching me. He held up his hands in apology and started backing away.

“Didn’t realise you had come down this trail, Kate. I’m sorry,” he said.

“Yeah, right,” I answered in retort as his gaze followed my hands pulling my jeans back up. I shook my head at him and went to walk past him when he grabbed my hand. He brought the other one to my neck and pulled me tight against him.

“Tell me you don’t want me, tell me to stop,” he said breathlessly as he leaned down to kiss me.

I don’t know if it was the fact he had taken me by surprise or the slight buzz I had from the drinks, but I didn’t stop him.

Our lips met, and I felt heat flood through me. I wrapped my arms round his neck and kissed him back. I moaned slightly as his tongue entered my mouth and his hands found my hips. We kissed for what felt like a lot longer than a few minutes when we heard shouting.

“Where are you two?!” Jordan and Kim were both shouting at us. I glanced up at Colin and bit my lip shyly. He smirked down at me. He told me he had been waiting ages to do that.

We wandered back into the campsite. Kim grabbed me and said we were playing a drinking game! Two truths and a lie. If your lie is figured out, you have to drink the whole beer. Kim wasn’t allowed to guess mine, and I wasn’t allowed to guess hers. We knew each other too well. Same with the boys.

Colin went first, and Kim got his wrong. Then Colin asked me mine, and I could feel my face getting red when I told my lie. He guessed right.

“I told you, I’m a terrible liar!” I exclaimed as I started to drink the beer.

“Down it, down it,” they were chanting. As I got to the last couple of swigs, I laughed and spilled the remaining beer over my T-shirt.

“Oh my gosh,” I coughed and laughed at the same time.

“Take it off!” shouted Colin. I shot him a look and said it would dry in no time, being round the fire.

Kim and Jordan both had to drink their beers. Colin decided to drink all his anyway since he was the only one with a full beer now. The enjoyment continued and the night went on.

“I think I’ve had enough,” said Kim after another few drinks. She said we should get to bed. She grabbed my arm and shouted goodnight to the boys.

“Right, what happened with you and Colin down that trail?!” She enquired immediately. I told her about our kiss, and she squealed!

“I knew it! I told Jordan something happened,” Kim said.

“I think he saw my ass; he was watching me pull my underwear up,” I told her.

“Ooh, he was watching you - kinky,” she laughed.

“Shut up! I said, pushing her lightly.

We started to get undressed. We were halfway through getting changed as the boys passed by and shouted night to us. Kim looked at me with a sly smile.

“Do you want to tease them a bit?” she asked.

“What do you mean?” I said.

She giggled and lay down on top of the open sleeping bag. She pushed the blankets away, pulling her panties down. I was totally dumbfounded. I didn’t know what to do or where to look.

Truth be told, I’d always known Kim was attractive, but seeing her like this was something else. Not the same as just getting changed in front of each other.

“Kate, don’t be embarrassed. Come lie down with me,” Kim said.

I took a breath and walked over, lying down next to her. Our eyes met, and I felt that same heat as when Colin had kissed me. It was pure lust.

“Touch yourself,” Kim said, smirking at me.

I shimmied out of my jeans and shivered from the slight chill and from the wave of desire that went through me. I glanced over at her, and she giggled. She put her hand over her pussy and started moaning as she touched herself.

Another pulse of desire swept over me, and I pulled my panties down. I trailed my middle finger along my pussy lips. I closed my eyes and sighed.

“Kate, look at me,” Kim said.

I looked at her, and she smiled, leaning towards me. When our lips touched, I couldn’t help the moan that escaped me. Kissing her and us both touching ourselves was such a turn-on. She pulled back and said we should moan louder.

“We should let the boys know that there was definitely something going on in this tent,” she giggled.

I laughed and said okay. This was so not something that I would have usually done, but I was loving every minute of it so far. It was just a bit of harmless teasing after all.

Kim rubbed her clit harder and started moaning so loudly. I followed her lead. I groaned as I swirled my finger over my clit and teased my wet pussy entrance with my other hand.

“Mmm, Kate, kiss me,” moaned Kim louder than necessary. I leaned over and kissed her, our tongues massaging each other.

I was so caught up in the moment that I didn’t even hear the tent unzip.

“Oh fuck,” said Jordan. He was standing at the entrance to the tent with his hand gripping his cock through his boxers. Colin was standing next to him. His eyes were dark as he looked us over.

I gasped and started to cover myself up, but Kim stopped me.

“Kate, don’t stop. We’ve teased them with our moaning. Maybe they could watch?” she said.

I could feel my face reddening, but the thought of them watching us filled my body with heat. I could feel myself getting so wet. Why was this turning me on so much?

“Okay,” I said without protest. Kim leaned over to kiss me as the boys stepped inside the tent. She started touching her pussy again, and I could hear how wet she was. Emboldened by her confidence, I slid my hands back down to my own soaked pussy. Kim whispered to me that she was so turned on. I whimpered in agreement as we began to kiss again.

We could hear the boys groaning, and Kim pulled away to look over. My eyes followed, and they were on their knees at the bottom of the sleeping bag. They were both naked. Their cocks were in their own hands, and they were stroking themselves. I closed my eyes. The heat within me was almost too much to bear. I rubbed my clit faster now as I slid two fingers inside myself with my other hand.

There was a loud moan, and I glanced up to see Colin furiously wanking himself. Our eyes met. Then we simultaneously looked across at Kim and Jordan. Kim was smiling at me, and Jordan’s eyes were all over the place. Her body, my body, looking down at his own cock as he stroked it. The tent was full of heat and arousal. I could feel myself getting so close.

I gasped and moaned. I felt Kim lean in to kiss me again, and as our tongues met once again, I reached my climax. Wave after wave of pleasure came over me, and I realised Kim had an orgasm too. There were stuttered groans from Jordan and Colin as they came.

“Fucking hell,” Colin said, and we all laughed.

Kim leaned forward to clean up Jordan’s cum-covered cock. I looked away. Colin cleared his throat.

“You want to clean up my mess?” he asked me. I nodded, unable to speak. I slid over so I was on my knees in front of him, and started licking up his cum.

“Well, that was fun!” Kim giggled as she lay down on the sleeping bag. Jordan was nestled in behind her. I lay down on my sleeping bag next to her and felt Colin lie down behind me. Kim turned to face me and said goodnight.

“Goodnight,” I replied. I closed my eyes and wondered. How did our night of camping turn into this? That was the last thought I had before falling asleep.

When I woke the next morning, I realised that I was the first to wake up. I grabbed my clothes and boots. I left the tent and dressed quickly. I was still quite shocked at what had transpired the night before. I got a bottle of water and sat down by the remnants of the fire, thinking.

I heard movement in the tent and some chatter. Kim and Jordan appeared next to me.

“Some night, eh? Drinking and being alone out here were definitely a bad influence,” said Kim.

“Yeah, totally,” I laughed in agreement. I had been thinking about how good it felt to kiss her.

Colin woke, and after an awkward hello, we started getting organised to leave the campsite. We trekked back to the cars quietly. Colin said he had a hangover. Kim and Jordan walked together a bit ahead. I trailed behind them all, concentrating on my footing.

I knew there would not be a repeat of anything that had happened, and there wasn’t. I also knew I was already feeling more open about sex, and that has only become truer with each passing year.
