No Holding Back

"Are you okay, Captain?" My best friend and co-captain, Everly, asked. "You seem distracted.""I am a little bit, Captain." I replied. "I am just trying to process the fact that today is our last competition of our high school careers.""You are not the only one going through that, I promise." Everly said, gently, wrapping her arm around me. "However, the best thing that we can do right now is to go out on stage with our team and give it our all like we always do.""Agreed." I said, as my best friend and I embraced in a side hug. As I finished getting dressed in my outfit, and did my dance makeup, I felt confident and excited. After all, my best friend, dance team, and I had a dance to show off that Everly and I choreo-graphed and put together.
