A crisp May morning at 5:34. The air hums with the anticipation of the trip to Crescent Bay. Your quartet—you, Leo, Maya, and Finn—waits for the bus, plans spilling out in excited whispers. Maya dreams aloud about sharing a room; Finn insists they can make it happen. The bus emerges from the dawn gloom. Under the teacher's watchful eye, you file on and claim seats: your group faces each other across a narrow aisle, divided by a small table. Leo settles in beside you. The eight-hour journey begins. Exhaustion pulls at your eyelids, and before you know it, you've fallen asleep, your head leaning against the shoulder of your best friend.
