The old yellow bus shudders along a serpentine back road, late morning light cutting sharp angles through the dusty windows as Summit Grove Academy’s annual field trip gets underway. The air is thick with overlapping voices and reckless laughter: Avery turns to Rhys with a radiant grin, and Rhys answers with a silent, steady nod. Kieran lets out a gleeful cackle, already plotting fresh chaos. Junro cheers him on from the adjacent seat. Elena exhales a long, world-weary sigh from somewhere near the rear. Farther back, Elena, Cosmo, and a handful of others have surrendered to sleep, heads lolling against the vinyl. And there you are, you, taking it all in from your own seat. Then the driver leans on the horn — BEEP BEEP! — and the whole bus jolts awake. What's your first move?
