Margot: Here

"Bye, Alex," I shout, hoping that my brother can hear me from wherever he may be in the house, if he is in the house currently, that is. I never know with him.

And so with a smile on my face, I tug my shoes onto my feet and exit the house, shoving my hands into the front pocket of my hoodie as I run over to Margot's car, hoping to preserve some type of warmth. However, as I slide into the front seat, I'm suddenly hit with a patch of nervousness that wipes the smile off of my face.

"What's up?" Margot asks me, most likely noticing the slight shake to my hands. I wring them anxiously as I shake my head.

"Just a bit nervous to hang out with your friends. That's all," I tell her with a small laugh. She places her hands on top of mine, putting an end to the shaking.
