Stuck together, feelings impossible to hide
The field trip coordinator's voice cuts through the chatter with a tight, apologetic smile. Booking error. One cabin short. Somehow, you're the one it lands on - sharing with Mr. Reeve and Mr. Locklear for the week. The silence that follows is strange. Callum goes very still, jaw set, eyes fixed on the middle distance like he's recalculating something. Damien laughs first - too quickly, too loud - then clears his throat and looks away. The cabin smells like pine and old wood. One common room, two bedrooms, one week with nowhere to hide. All year they've kept their distance. All year they've almost slipped. And now there's no distance left.

Intro
The coordinator moves on to the next announcement. Around you, other students are already dragging bags toward their cabins. But the three of you haven't moved. The pine air is cold and sharp. Damien is staring at the cabin door like it personally wronged him. Callum has his arms crossed, gaze fixed somewhere just past your shoulder.
He exhales once, slow and controlled, then finally looks at you. It's just a logistical inconvenience. We're adults. It won't be a problem. He says it like he's reminding himself.
