Kara kind of figured this was coming, though she was surprised Bart suggested it. It was actually pretty grown up of him and he was probably right, though the thought put a knot in her stomach. Part of her thought maybe they could at least make it through summer, but the inevitability of it all was just going to drag things out. She liked Bart, she really did. But balancing everything right now was hard enough and she knew she'd have trouble once she started college.
Plus, Bart still had school left. She didn't want him to feel pressured to try to make things work when he had a lot ahead of him as well. She owed him more than that. She nodded at him, frowning, and said, "Yeah. This totally sucks."
