HYT 777

โ€œGet in.โ€ Iโ€™m fourteen years old and my Catholic school uniform doesnโ€™t feel like a fantasy. Iโ€™m alone at the city bus stop near my house and thereโ€™s a chill in the air that has nothing to do with the weather. โ€œNo, thanks,โ€ I say, so polite despite the fear beating in my chest. โ€œMy bus is coming.โ€ โ€œGet in,โ€ he says again, leaning over to open the passenger door. His car is dirty with a stained beige interior, and I want nothing less than to sit in that car.
