Need help with 3rd step in final challenge in Sass

The task is: Define a box class. Use the square mixin to give it a height and width of 10px, and set the border to red.

Attached is the code I wrote. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. :( Please help!

/* Write your SCSS code below. */

@mixin square($size, $color: black) {
  .#{$size} {
    height: $size;
    width: $size;
  }
  .#{$color} {
    border: 1px solid $color;
  }
}

.box {
  @include square(10px, red);
  }
