*just a disclaimer: since margot is an aspiring song writer and I am not, I'm just going to use Selena Gomez songs as her own for simplicity's sake. They're not going to be in some kind of particular order or anything, we're just going to pretend Selena's songs are Margot's because Selena is Margot in the story. Make sense? If I could write songs I would, but haha I can't. Cool👍🏻 ENJOY AND THANKS FOR READING!!

"Ready for school to start?" Remi said, elbowing me as we found ourselves waiting in line at my favorite coffee place near my house.
"Ugh. Don't remind me," I told her.
"Senior year, Margot. Aren't you a little excited?" she asked.
I pretended to think about it, then decidedly shook my head no. "The sooner I get out of here, the better."
Remi frowned, but nodded. "Don't wish your life away, Margot," she reminded me. I smiled at how she used my own words against me.
That phrase had become something I frequently said after Evan died. I couldn't stand the idea of people saying how they wished they could just skip a part of the life, or how they wished they had a different life. At least you're alive. At least you get to spend another day loving your family and friends. You never know when that could all end. In the blink of an eye.
"You're right, Rem," I said to her.
"What's new?" she replied, and I rolled my eyes.
We both ordered our coffee, thanking the cashier and sitting at an empty booth.
The screen of my phone flashed with a message. I saw who it was and my heart fluttered, and Remi smirked.

the fall • s.m.
Hayran Kurgu"Falling for you is dangerous. I can't control my own emotions, my own movements when I'm with you. If I fall in love, you know what will happen next between us. The fall," I said. There was silence between us for a few moments, and my heart pounded...
