It will be fine. You pretty much can't short out wire 18 gauge and under the way you can fold a 24 gauge wire and it will break internally.
Get speaker wire that has clear insulation. That stuff is hard like plastic and not soft like rubber and really difficult to break. It is not brittle at all like some of the harder cheap black insulation. I'm talking about Radioshack's brand if you wanna know where to find it.
