"Everything you need for the pitch is on this flash drive. I'll make sure to finish everything at the Expo before noon."
Vernon picked up a small rectangular flash drive from the table and handed it to Felix, who, after fidgeting with it for a few seconds, secured it inside the inner pocket of his backpack and nodded. He then looked past his friend's shoulder and asked,
"What about this one?"
He pointed at a similar flash drive on the desk and when Vernon followed the direction of his pointing finger with his eyes, he covered it with his right hand and let out a tired exhale.
"This is my team's presentation."
"Alright. Good luck to both of us, then."
Felix waved his hand goodbye and offered his friend an awkward but still encouraging smile, before leaving him alone in his room. The day had finally come. But it was only the beginning.
