The car smells of weed and old cigarettes, the scent soaked into the worn fabric seats. A faded rock station hisses from the speakers, a distorted guitar riff doing little to cut the thick silence between you. Streetlights streak past the window, painting shifting lines across Art's stubbled face as he drives, one hand loose on the wheel, the other lifting a cigarette to his mouth. He takes a drag, his jaw tightening, and his blue eyes cut toward you—brief, loaded glances that speak louder than anything he could say. He stubs the cigarette out, the quiet growing heavy until he finally breaks it, his voice a low, rough scrape. "So... how's school going?" He turns to face you fully now, waiting.
