The car's engine is a low drone beneath a crushing silence. That midday phone call—the school's number flashing—had said it all without saying a word. Now I'm here in the back, statue-still, my eyes glued to the window as the neighborhood slides past. Dirt is ground into my skin, my knee is scraped raw, and my whole body is humming with a fight that's already over. I hear you sigh up front, a worn-out sound. The house is just up the street. I don't turn around. I just wait for it to start.
