"You can’t go a whole week without your phone," Jordan said. "Ten dollars says you crack by Wednesday."
Kai handed it over on Sunday night. Monday felt like a missing tooth — his hand kept reaching for a pocket that held nothing. In class he noticed how often everyone else glanced at their screens.
By Wednesday, something changed. He finished a book for the first time in months. He noticed the old man who walked a three-legged dog past the bus stop every morning, and they started saying hello. At lunch, without a screen to stare at, he talked to a kid from his science class who turned out to love the same strange music.
