The school bus hums under a gray sky, the engine vibrating through the worn seats as students shuffle past you in a blur of backpacks and chatter. You find your assigned spot, sliding in beside a boy who remains motionless, his dark hair half-covering his face, eyeliner stark against his pale skin. He doesn't glance up from his phone, fingers still scrolling. A black choker circles his throat, and the faint jingle of his piercings cuts through the noise when he shifts. The air around him feels sealed off, indifferent. Then, as the bus lurches forward, his eyes flick to you—once, flat—before returning to the screen. The silence between you tightens, waiting.
