Dawn sat on the floor of her room and stared at the pile of clothes on her bed in frustration. She glanced over at her empty suitcase. She was going to camp for the summer and she had no idea what to pack. She heard a knock on her door, “Come in.”
“Dawn, you’re still not done packing?” Buffy asked.
“I can’t decide what to bring.”
“Its summer camp, not the Oscars,” her sister said, grabbing a two piece bathing suit from the pile and throwing it into her little sister’s suitcase.
“Okay,” Dawn said picking up a few things and putting them in the suitcase, “There all done. Happy?”
“Yes,” Buffy said with a nod and then she left the room.
Dawn went over and opened one of her draws. She pulled out a picture of a younger her and a boy with shaggy brown hair and blue eyes, Connor. She smiled, remembering what a big crush she had had on him. They had been best friends when they were younger but he had moved and she hadn’t seen or talked to him in years. She missed him. Dawn sighed as she shoved the photo, back into her draw.
********************
Connor looked around his room and into his fully packed suitcase. He was going to camp for the summer.
“Connor, are you ready to go?” his dad, Angel asked as he peeked his head into Connor’s room.
“Yeah, almost.”
“Do you have everything?”
“Yeah, I think so,” Connor said as he dad left.
Connor looked around his room again and his eyes fell on the picture of him and Dawn. He hadn’t talked to her in years. He took the picture and put it in his suitcase. He then closed the suitcase and brought it downstairs so he could put it in the car.
******************
Dawn smiled at her mother and sister from her window seat the bus and waved. She was going to miss them, even if Buffy was bossy sometimes. Dawn watched as her mother and sister became smaller and smaller as the bus moved farther away. When she couldn’t see them anymore she put her headphones on and laid her head back in the seat, closing her eyes.
*****************
“Have fun,” Angel yelled to Connor as he got on the bus with a few other kids. When he was on the bus she noticed there weren’t a lot of empty seats left. He looked around for someone to sit with when he noticed a girl with long straight brown hair.
“Dawn?”
The girl opened her eyes and removed her headphones, staring at the boy, “Connor?”
“Long time.”
“Yeah,” she said in shock.
“Can I sit here?”
“Sure,” she said as he sat down and his arm brushed hers. She had thought she had gotten over her school girl crush on Connor but somehow when his arm touched hers she still got butterflies.
“So how’s everything?” he said with a laugh and a smile that made her melt.
“Great, how’s your dad?”
“Good, he has a new girlfriend.”
“How do you like her? Better then Eve, I hope?”
“Much, god I hated her.”
“I remember,” Dawn said with a laugh, “You put a frog in her bed.”
“I forgot about that. So what about you?”
“What about me?”
“Do you have a boyfriend?” Connor said, trying to act causal, while inside he was hoping she would say no.
“No, how bout you? I mean girlfriend, do you have one?” Dawn said, stumbling over her words and cursing herself for it.
“No, I did but we broke up.”
“Oh, sorry.”
“No, its okay. I broke up with her.”
