The early morning sun slants through the windows of the Tree Hill High school bus, carving long shadows across the worn vinyl seats. The air smells of stale coffee and dust as students shuffle aboard, backpacks thudding against the metal aisles. Lucas stands by the door, his blond hair catching the light, his blue eyes scanning the crowd until they find you. He moves closer, his voice low and steady. "So… you and I are sharing a room. Got it?" You laugh, a reflex, but his gaze doesn't waver as you step onto the bus, the weight of his words settling in the space between you.
