1. Cold

Swiftly as it could, the room turned cold.  I shivered, wishing my sweater wasn't outside in my truck.  I gathered my arms around me, all others in the room seemed oblivious to the frosty bite the air now held.
"Hey"  I look up, not expecting to be the one addressed with the word of hello.  "You look cold."
"Yes.  I am."  Insecurities rushed towards me like soccer moms upon the opening of a store-wide sale.  Who was this person, why was he talking to me?
"I has gotten a bit chilly in here, hasn't it."
"Yes.  It has."
"I'm Derrick."
"Lilas."
