Dragonball GT: Desperation

Camino stood at the doorway to her classroom and watched her walk to her desk. She looked at the white, stuffed teddy bear sitting on her desk and frowned. She picked up the letter and read over it.

Camino crossed his fingers and after a moment, she lowered the paper and folded it into a square. She sighed and looked around the room. He pulled back so that he wouldn't be visible to her.

He leaned against the wall and she suddenly came out of the door. He gasped and recoiled in surprise. "Pan?!"

She smiled. "I have to say that I'm flattered, Camino. This was very sweet of you, but...as I've told you before I'm not interested in you. You're a sweet guy and we're good friends. Let's just keep it that way, okay?"

She handed him the stuffed bear and the letter. She gave him a quick peck on the cheek before disappearing inside the classroom again. Camino stood in the halls of the main building of Satan University, holding his gift and love letter that had been thrust back at him. He felt like such a fool.

Surely, any other guy would have given up on Pan by now, but Camino just couldn't keep her out of his mind. And he was determined to keep trying until she accepted him.

He went to his car and threw the gifts inside. He looked at the bear for a moment before closing the car door. Ion was leaning against the rear door of Camino's car.

"Rejected again?"

Camino scowled and walked away from Ion.

"Hey!" Ion ran after him. "I was just asking."

"Can we talk about something else?"

"Like what?"

Camino turned on him. "I don't know! Anything but that!"

"All right," Ion said, as he and Camino began to walk down the halls again. "I'm meeting Scatter and Bra at an ice-cream parlor. Do you want to come? Her friends will be there. Who knows, you might even find one your type."

"I doubt it."

"Why's that?"

"Pan's the only girl for me."

Ion sighed. "Come on, Camino. She says she doesn't like you. You should move on to the other fish in the sea. I hate to see you hurting, but Pan's mind isn't going to change anytime soon. Trust me."

"You're wrong."

"You can't force someone to love you."

"I'm not going to force her," he said. "She's going to love me sooner or later. I can guarantee it!"

He walked down the hall, leaving Ion standing there alone. Okara came up to him and he put his arm around her shoulders.

"What was all that about?" she asked.

"Camino, has finally lost it."
