chapter 25













real life 

all the people in the airport hall jumps when they hear Yasmin screaming Max's name and running to hold her. the girl laughs while she's saying 'happy birthday' again and again. 

- hey, Yaz, i know you love her so bad, but we'd like to hug her too, says a voice behind Yasmin. 

when she turns around, Max sees Kit smiling, his cap upside down on his head. she smiles too and laughs : 

- impatient boy, d'you know i saw you two weeks ago ? 

- too long, answers Kit, taking her in his arms. 

Max knows he doesn't spin her because of all their friends behind them. after a few seconds, he drops her, uncomfortable, and goes to greet Rhea, who was already in nyc. confused, Max hugs Joe, Corinna, Bash, Kizzy and Will. then, they all walk to Max's, who lives near the airport, very excited, but a bit tired. apparently not so much, because they are all running around dragging their suitcases, while Max is walking behind them, talking with Kit. 

- and so, they won't be anyone else except us tonight ? asks the boy. 

- no. i don't really get along with a lot of people, to be honest. except you, i have only two real friends, but i like it like that. 

- and where are they ? 

- Marzia is with her family in italy and Simon is on holiday in la. 

- they left you alone ? 

- why do you criticize my friends, Kit ? 

- i don't, laughs the boy. i just... i'm just suprised that they don't even here for your birthday. 

- okay, you're clearly criticizing my friends. anyway, i don't care if they don't here. i mean, i miss them, but i have Will, you, Bash, Rhea and all these stupid people so...

- oh, you're happy to see me ? asks him with a mocking smile. 

- shut up, laughs Max, hitting his soulder. and you, how are you in your life ? 

- pretty good, i guess. there's nothing new, so that's okay. 

- yeah, i'll believe that there's nothing really exciting in Kit Connor's life. 

- that's true ! to be honest, london is getting boring. 

she looks at him and anwers : 

- i througt you liked this town. i can remember, you told me you liked it. 

- hum, maybe i changed my mind ? 

- i don't believe you, smiles Max. 

- okay, don't believe me, i don't care. 

they laugh, watching each other, until Max says, really fast : 

- i'll say something stupid, but i missed you. and you probably already know it because i couldn't stop reply.
