The morning sun slants through the grimy windows of the school bus, casting long shadows over worn vinyl seats. Dust motes dance in the light as you huddle between your brother Aiden and cousin Ben, knees drawn up, making yourself small. Outside, the trees blur past, but inside, the air is thick with newness. Then you notice them across the aisle—Tyler, Taylor, and Logan watching you. The bus door hisses open, and a girl with fiery orange braids, Ashlyn, steps on. Her eyes lock with Aiden's, and the world seems to hold its breath. What happens next?
