"We are fated, to do things,"

Jackie's POV

"Come on people! Let's go! This plane is not gonna be waiting for us!" Mr Tyler was screaming for all of the juniors to get into the loading buses. The school prepared a weeks worth of summer activities at a resort in LA for all juniors.

"Hey, you gonna be okay by yourself?" Wendy reassured me as we leaned against the car door. I looked out at all the students who hopped on all the buses and then turned back to her and nodded while sighing.

"I'll be...fine, I guess," I breathed out before dropping my bags and hugging her tight. 

"I'll miss you Jack," she whispered softly before letting go. 

"I'll be back in a week, Janey. See you later, hater," I chuckled before walking away to the buses and stepping on. 

I walked up the steps and I walked down the aisle, everyone around me sat quietly, some sleeping as it was early in the morning,  some excitedly speaking about the trip, but most just stared at me, lots of whispers circling around the bus. 

Ghost girl. 

Isn't she supposed to be dead? 

When did they let zombies into the school?

I kept walking until I heard a loud thud behind me, I turned to see that same tall black haired boy fall on his face behind me. His carry on bag spilling all that lay inside. He stumbled to grab them all again, his face covered from a black hoodie. 

I looked to my feet and a phone lay on the ground. It must've been his when I picked it up cause there was a photo of him and some girl as his background. I looked a little closer to see who she was and... it was...me?

"Hey um, you dropped your phone," I held his phone out to him as he stood up straight. He looked to my hand and thanked me before grabbing it and sitting down next to who I guess was one of his friends, a tall dark skinned boy.

I could sense he didn't want to talk so I sat in an empty seat and put my headphones in. 

Benny's POV.

She talked to me.

She actually talked to me.

Oh my lord, why didn't I say anything?

Thanks i guess?

Oh god, idiot!

"Benny, my guy, you doing okay in the fat head of yours?" I felt 2 hard knocks on my head. The rest of the older boys sat in front of Kenny and I. Ham knocking on my head before I started knocking his head with my glove repeatedly. 

"Fuck off, Ham, I'm fine," I sat back down and slouched in my chair. I looked and realised it wasn't as loud as I thought it would be, everyone was pretty quiet. I guess it was only quiet cause smalls, Squintz, yeah-yeah and tommy weren't with us, it was just me, Denunez, Bertram, Ham and Timmy.

"Benny hey!" I heard a voice from the front of the bus. We all looked to see who it was and it was only Retta. She walked on with a big purple jacket in her hands, with multiple books sticking out of her side bag. 

"Hey Loretta," I waved back. I could feel the boys staring at me. I knew what they would be thinking so i turned around to them.

"I know what you're gonna say, don't say it, There's nothing going on between us, guys" I turned back to face forward and told myself i was ok.

I started to notice that Loretta would always sit by herself. Did she not have any friends? A million questions crossed my brain, i started to feel dizzy. Why couldn't i unfocus from her? Does she like being alone? Maybe she doesn't want friends. I don't know but this all seemed too intriguing for me. My brain racked a bunch of questions i wanted to ask her. But i had only spoke to her once? Would she think I'm weird for being so intrusive? Maybe if i sleep, my mind would stop blowing up.

My phone lit up in my hand for a second and i went to change the song but something caught my eye. Her. Her sweet smile shining back at me. Her eyes so full of joy as she held her baseball in her mit. I started to remember every time i saw her so happy. When she got excited, she would shake her hands and shake with joy. When she had been with her family. When we played all day and night. I missed seeing her walking around with the brightest smile on her face. Then i realised i had been going through all the photos i had saved of her,   thats when i found a photo from the day. My smile disappeared and i came back to reality. All the memories remained. But not for her..

I looked up to see her sitting in complete silence, not even paying attention to all the gossiping girls who surrounded her. Just staring out the window. I wonder how she felt in this moment. What were her thoughts? Would she be able to have any thoughts? Half of her life had been wiped from her mind.

How it would be to know her again...
