Bye

A quiet, small-town coming-of-age tale follows a teen narrator as he navigates friendship, family, and the rush of first loves. When a provocative road trip with his closest companions spirals into a reckoning, he must confront the gap between who he pretends to be and who he longs to become. The story unfolds through intimate, candid moments—bus rides, conversations, late-night confessions—that reveal the tenderness and vulnerability of adolescence. As loyalties shift and boundaries blur, the protagonist learns that courage often hides in honesty, in choosing vulnerability over bravado, and in discovering what truly matters to his own evolving identity.
