Alex's feet barely made noise as he ran down the hall to Scott's room, early enough that none of the other kids are awake but Alex is already fully dressed except for his shoes. He pulls himself up onto Scott's bed, watching him sleep for a few seconds before dropping onto his chest, obviously trying to wake him up.
"Scott, come on. It's snowing out there." He practically shouts right by his ear in his excitement, their faces only inches apart if he does actually open his eyes.
