Ruby leaned her head back against the seat. "Yeah, pretty much." She said, agreeing with Stevie. When the bus stopped to pick up the next student, Ruby cursed quietly, seeing her cousin, Micah, and his mother. Her eyes narrowed as she watched the two hug before Micah got on the bus. "Surprised you could let go of your mother's skirt for the whole summer.” She muttered, just loud enough for Stevie and Micah to hear as he passed by the seat she and Stevie were sharing. Micah glanced at her, a slight frown tugging on his lips, but didn’t say anything as he continued down the aisle. Ruby rolled her eyes, running a hand through her hair. She couldn’t stand her cousin, though truthfully it wasn’t really him she couldn’t stand, but the relationship he had with his mother, the kind she always wanted with hers. When she left the house this morning, everyone was still asleep. They didn’t even bother to get out of bed to say goodbye to her even though she’d be gone the entire summer.

Micah hugged his mother tightly as the bus pulled up at the curb. He hated leaving his mom for the whole summer, but it couldn’t be avoided since this camp was mandatory. ”I’ll write you.” He assured her, since they weren’t allowed to have cellphones at camp. They probably weren’t allowed video games either, but he hid a few in his clothes anyway. There was no way he could survive the whole summer without his games. He turned and got onto the bus, smiling when he saw his cousin. ”H-“ He started to say as he approached her, but stopped, hearing her words. A slight frown tugged on his lips, he loved his cousin and wished they could be closer, but for some reason that he couldn’t understand, she seemed to hate him. He sighed quietly as he walked down the aisle to sit in a seat near the back, though not too far back as he spotted Bon, knowing it was best to stay clear of her as well. He sat down and leaned his head against the window, watching as his house got farther and farther away.
