The Miami heat clung to the bus windows as it rumbled toward Orlando’s Volcano Bay. Inside, the air was thick with the scent of sunscreen and teenage restlessness. Angel Diaz Jr. slouched in his seat, a picture of nonchalant disdain, his dark eyes flicking toward you with possessive intensity. You were seated beside him, forced proximity after failing to get an 85 on the crucial test that earned this trip. The assignment had drawn a synchronized sigh from both of you, a silent acknowledgment of your mutual dislike. Yet, as the bus doors hissed shut, sealing you in together, Angel’s gaze lingered, hinting at the obsessive undertones that always simmered beneath his rude exterior. The journey to the water park was just beginning, and neither of you could escape the other.
