"Ava, you have to be quiet! They'll hear you-"
Tears started to spill from my eyes, blending in with the rain that dripped down my face. I shouldn't have come here. The last time I followed someone I made accidentally noise and got them killed. I ha...
It was Saturday morning at 11am, and I was running around the house like a lunatic trying to get myself together before the Marvel's driver picked me up at 11:30am. I had accidentally woke up late, so I didn't have time to eat a proper breakfast. I took the fastest shower of my life, doubled the lotion and swiped on deodorant. I grabbed whatever I could find in my closest that was slightly better than casual. I put on:

I snapped a mirror selfie to send to my friend Kiana from back home. I really missed my friend, especially on days I needed to dress up. Kiana knew fashion like the back of her hand. Anytime I ever had to dress up for something, she was there helping me put a look together.
Kiana: Ayeeeee! Looking good girl! Where's the dress from? Me: Forever 21 :) Kiana: Super cute! Good luck with the interview!
"Ava, the driver is here!" Melissa yelled from another room. I snatched my resume and transcript off of my dresser and shoved them into my purse.
"Ahem"
"Ahem what?" I asked, barreling through the living room towards the front door. I was pulling my jean jacket over my shoulders when I felt Melissa tap me. I turned around to find her smiling ear to ear, arms outstretched. I groaned, stomping into a hug, causing her to giggle. "What? It's just a good luck hug!"
I pulled away, giving her a sarcastic smile. As I walked outside I heard her shout "You're going to kill that interview Ava! I believe in you!" I gave her a thumbs up, closing the door behind me. I walked up to the gray Lexus RX 350 where a tall man with graying hair and green eyes was holding the back seat door open. I thanked him as I stepped in. The inside of the car smelled like fresh strawberries and mint. He got in the driver's side, handing back a white aux cord. "You can play whatever you'd like miss"
"Thank you" I said, plugging my phone in. I pulled up Spotify and played Love Mode by Joakim Karud. "You can call me Ava, by the way"
"It's nice to meet you Ava. I'm Peter Lynch, the Marvel family's chauffeur"
"Great to meet you, Mr. Lynch. How long have you been driving for them?"
"About a decade now" he said, pulling onto the main road. We sat in silence listening to 'Love Mode' until it was over. I played 'Dreams' next, then 'Dizzy'. About 25 minutes later we pulled left onto a side street, then right onto a long, winding driveway. We pulled up to the largest house i'd ever seen in my life.
