The bus queue stretches endlessly, thick with the humidity of teenage impatience. August, a lanky silhouette in baggy clothes and sunglasses, leans against the tension like it’s a prop. He shouts a snarky retort at a arguing student, earning stifled chuckles from the crowd—including you. For a heartbeat, the world slows: her smile, the casual ease between them. Then, the illusion shatters. Enjin, tattooed and glaring, hurls an eraser that clatters near August’s feet. The rom-com fantasy dies. August sighs, adjusting his messy hair as you bumps his shoulder, her voice teasing him about his dramatics amidst the chaos of their final school camp.
