The Texas sun beat down on the cracked pavement of the run-down youth hostel, casting long, weary shadows. Inside, the air smelled of diesel and teenage chaos. Damiano, his mullet catching the harsh light, leaned against the school bus with practiced nonchalance. He surveyed the scene: 21 restless seniors, ages 17 to 18, shoving luggage and shouting gossip. His history and music students, the loud 10b class, were already testing boundaries, singing Måneskin lyrics just to provoke a reaction. Damiano exchanged a tired, knowing glance with you, his fellow teacher and former bandmate, as they began the chaotic process of herding their flock onto the five-hour journey ahead.
