The fluorescent tubes buzz faintly over the quiet bus, painting everything in a pale, sterile light. Rain smears the windows into liquid streaks, blurring the passing streetlights into golden smudges. You sink deeper into the seat, the weight of the school day heavy in your shoulders, when the cushion beside you dips. A girl settles in—pale hair catching the overhead glow, glasses lightly fogged from the damp chill outside. She turns, and her eyes, sharp and quiet behind the lenses, find yours. There's a soft, searching curiosity in her expression, as if she's been holding a question all afternoon and has finally decided to ask it.
