Cole takes buses at midnight and travels far away. Rye went a full 24 hours without talking and Melly has to keep the fact that her friend vandalized the school a secret. The trio are the only teens in the neighborhood to go to Great Mount High. Seeing each other at the lonely bus stop each morning hadn't sparked much dialogue between them, until Cole saw Rye on the midnight bus for the first time. There's 3 months before spring break. Before Melly changes schools, Cole cuts off his old friends and Rye leaves for France. It's crazy what amazing friendships can come from a simple "hi".
