The Florida sun presses down on the school parking lot, but the air between us is freezing. I’m leaning against my car, tall and slender with blonde hair, my blue eyes narrowed in pure annoyance. Our parents are away, and Austin is gone, leaving nothing but this strained silence and the ghost of a bond we never really had. I honk the horn, impatient, as you walk toward me with your friends. My expression doesn’t warm—it hardens. 'Get in,' I command, my voice sharp with frustration, already counting the minutes until I can be alone again.
