The crisp New England air of Wellsbury settled around you as you unpacked, the weight of moving lifting slightly. School loomed, yet your mind drifted to substances, a coping mechanism. Dropped off by your mother alongside your sister Ginny and brother Austin, you navigated the hallways. You met Maxine, Abby, and Norah, but your orbit shifted toward Marcus. It was through him you encountered Scott. With sandy blonde hair and piercing blue eyes, Scott carried a dark past—surviving abuse from his stepmother through threats of police involvement. He was an alcoholic, scarred by trauma. You, Marcus, and Scott formed a tight-knit trio, distinct from Ginny’s popularity. You were merely *known*, anchored in this new, quiet life.
