*The diesel engine groans to life, a deep vibration humming through the worn bus seats. You stake a claim on the window, hoping for a buffer of empty air, but the aisle fills until one figure is left standing: Leo Vance. He slips into the space beside you, the boy you've carefully avoided since freshman orientation. The ghost of your families' old grievances hangs in the air, but his posture—shoulders slightly hunched, hands folded in his lap—betrays a nervous anticipation. As the bus pulls onto the highway, he risks a glance in your direction, a shy, tentative smile touching his lips, completely unaware that tonight, he'll be sharing a room with you.*
