y/n's pov

What had been looking for Alex turned into a nice walk. I wasn't sure how long I'd been outside, maybe something like an hour, but I hadn't found him.

Watching all the living people go about their days was interesting, but it was super uncomfortable when they walked through you, so I did my best to dodge them.

That was until I jumped out of the way of one guy and bumped into another. Like, actually bumped into.

I rubbed my head in pain and the guy groaned.

It took me a second to realize what happened.

"Oh my God." His eyes were wide. "I'm so sorry."

"You're a ghost?"

I looked the guy up and down. He was around my age, maybe a year older, and had bleach blonde hair that messily hung down his forehead. He had brown eyes and wore a band t-shirt under a jacket.

"You're a ghost?" He raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah." The guy and I just stood in the middle of the footpath.

"Don't I know you?"

"Uh... I don't think so?" I scratched my head. "I'm Y/N."

It was like something click in his mind. "I do know you!"

"Oh?"

"Yeah, you were in that band." He snapped his fingers a few times. "Sunset Curve!"

I laughed. "You know Sunset Curve?"

"Yes! I used to love you guys. I was even going to your show the night you guys..." He coughed awkwardly before holding out his hand. "I'm Noah."

I grabbed his hand and shook it.

"Um, you haven't seen my friend Alex anywhere, have you?" I asked. "He was upset earlier so I wanted to look for him."

"No, but I can help you look if you'd like?" He offered.

I smiled. "Yes, please. That would be great."

"So, how long have you been a ghost?" I asked as we walked. "Sorry if that's rude or something."

"Don't worry. I've been a ghost for about 23 years now?" He counted on his fingers. "Yep, 23."

"Wow. The guys and I have only been actual ghosts for a few days. Before that we were in this dark room for apparently 25 years." I laughed a little.

"Jeez."

"Yeah, and this girl Julie plays our CD and boom we're here." I waved my arms around. "And she can see us! It's so-- Alex!"

I spotted the blonde boy sitting on a bench nearby. He was staring at a guy who was skateboarding away from him.

"Y/N, hey!"

I ran up to him.

"What are you doing here?" Alex looked behind me. "And who's that?"

"This is Noah." He waved at Alex, who waved back. "He's my new ghost friend."

"I made a new ghost friend too!" Alex said excitedly. "His name's Willie."
