Bubbles and Bennie met by the lake in the afternoon on the day before they both were leaving for their different college destinations. Bubbles had called Bennie to invite him to meet her.
"Are you nervous about tomorrow, Bennie?"
"Yeah, I am. This is really the beginning of being a grownup. I'm not sure I'm ready."
"I'm scared...but, there's no turning back."
"I agree. But, at least we have each other."
"I think we should start college on a fresh page. I really like you and we had a lot of fun...but let's let it go. Go to college and find new experiences. We'll always have Oswego."
"If that's the way you want it..."
"I do."
They kissed as if it were for the last time.
