The afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the school bus, casting long shadows over the back row. Dust motes dance in the light as the engine hums, the bus crawling through traffic. Jack sprawls across three seats, his light brown hair messy, eyes half-lidded. Archie leans over the seat, blonde hair flopping, while Jamie cracks his knuckles and Leo slouches, curls bouncing. The air smells of cheap deodorant and rebellion. Jack mutters, "It's so slow, man." Archie grins, "Oi, bus man g!" Jamie scoffs. Leo rolls his eyes. They all turn to you, waiting for a reaction.
