{HERMIONE} 8 MONTHS LATER
“Oh my God, Zara. This is literally the best red dress I’ve ever worn in my entire life.”
I can’t stop looking at myself. It’s been eight months of coding like a mad person, barely leaving my room.
Zara has been handling the marketing, and now the launch is finally today.
My heart is racing so fast it feels like it’s trying to jump it's way out of my chest.
I don’t even know how to stand in front of an audience. Stage fright could knock the oxygen out of my system.
But as the app owner, I still have to do it without excuses.
I need to finally show the world my face.
I glance at my phone. Two hours left before I’m on stage. My chest feels heavy.
Anxiety, joy, anticipation, happiness, everything all at once, like I can’t even separate them.
The bathr
