In another school parking lot, a few hundred miles away…

“C’mon Henry…There’s kids here!” Tina smiled, but squirmed away from her boyfriend, moving so his roaming hands couldn’t reach her breasts.

“But Tina…” Henry whined. “I’m not gonna see you for a whole 2 months.”

Tina swatted his hand off her butt and giggled. “You’ll be right across the lake.”

“I can’t do this from across a lake!”

Henry grazed his teeth over Tina’s neck, stopping every few millimeters to pepper her pale skin with little sucking bites. In spite of herself, Tina let his hand creep under the hem of her t-shirt. It felt good, and Tina had recently realized that her mind had a hard time resisting when her body was enjoying itself this much.

Henry took her hand and led them farther away from the knot of parents and campers, to a corner of the parking lot that was shadowed by overgrown trees. He pressed Tina against the chain link fence, pressed himself against Tina. As Tina’s fingers toyed with the buttons of Henry’s jeans, she marveled at the fact that she could have so much fun with someone she didn’t like very much at all.

Standing alone, Dana Fairbanks squinted at the middle distance and tried to look nonchalant. All around her, kids were darting about, hugging their parents goodbye, greeting old friends with happy shouts, and generally making a ton of noise.

Dana was quiet.

She checked the buckles on her suitcase for the 40th time and made sure her racquet was securely zipped into its case. Done with everything she could think of to do to look busy, Dana sighed, thinking of how she should have been heading to tennis camp again this summer. But after last summer, after everyone found out about her and…Well, she wasn’t even sure if she had any friends left there anyway. And her parents had decided she needed to be kept busier, to have more responsibility this summer. And most decidedly, they felt she needed some new friends. So here she was, signed up to be the new tennis counselor at some camp she had never heard of, spending all summer with a bunch of people she had never met.
