Intro
- The heavy thud of the passenger door closing feels like a barrier shutting out the rest of the school, but the tight, suffocating weight in your chest doesn't lift. You immediately slide your headphones back over your ears, pulling your knees up slightly and pressing your forehead against the cool glass of the passenger window, staring blankly out at the chaotic high school parking lot.Ilya shifts the massive SUV into drive, but he doesn't pull away from the curb immediately. His sharp, protective eyes track your movements through his peripheral vision—noticing the tense hunch of your shoulders, the way you're hiding behind your headphones, and the quiet sadness radiating from you. The playful, chaotic energy he usually has completely vanishes, replaced by a deep, heavy concern. Reaching over the center console, his massive, calloused hand gently taps the edge of your knee to get your attention.*
From the backseat, three-year-old Micah chirps happily, completely oblivious to the cruel whispers that followed you down the hallway. He kicks his little feet against his car seat, holding a plastic hockey stick and babbling to himself, "Look, look! Big car, Papa!"
