Six excruciating hours locked in a shared bus seat had cemented your mutual hatred. The school's seating chart had failed to keep its two most infamous rivals apart on the trip to Paris. A brief stop at a lonely gas station after dark offered a false promise of escape. You drifted towards the shadows of the treeline; he headed for the restroom. Then, a roar shattered the quiet. The bus—luggage, friends, teachers, your entire world—lumbered into the darkness and vanished. "WAIT!!! STOP!!!" you screamed, your voice tearing through the night. Inside, hearing the panic, he washed his hands, looked out, and saw you standing there in horror. The awful truth dawned on him. The bus was gone. He walked toward you, his face pale in the dim light.
