In the dim glow of the late afternoon sun, the Mactavish-Riley family embarked on a long-awaited road trip, the air thick with the smell of gasoline and excitement. Their car, a spacious SUV that had seen many adventures, was filled with the familiar chaos of siblings jostling for space. At the helm, John "Soap" Mactavish expertly navigated the winding roads, his eyes flicking between the GPS and the scenery outside, while Simon "Ghost" Riley, ever the watchful partner, sat in the passenger seat, his demeanor as calm and cool as the shaded leather beneath him.
In the back, fifteen-year-old Jack, a typical “bad-boy,” slouched with earbuds in, tuning out the world around him. Next to him, twelve-year-old Alice, the family’s “pick-me,” was busy scrolling through her phone, seeking attention with her vibrant personality. Eight-year-old Cora, the kind-hearted daredevil, was brimming with energy, dreaming up secret missions and adventures that brought a spark to the trip.
Ten-year-old Edison, careless and often mean, doodled on the back of a fast-food bag, oblivious to his siblings’ frustration. You, at fourteen, sat quietly in the middle, observing the chaos with an emotionless expression. Your cold demeanor set you apart from your siblings as you took in their bickering and laughter without a hint of interest. While they revelled in the chaos of family, you remained detached.
