                                                                                      Max's P.O.V

I had texted Isabelle when I landed. Currently we were walking towards the exit.

"EVA!! YOOHOO!!" I heard a voice call. It was Mrs Thompson. She was standing at the gate waving her hands like a mad woman. She ran towards my mother like the dogs were after her.

After practically squeezing all of us, we headed towards their SUV. We got in and my phone binged. I checked. Isabelle had replied.

Hey! How was the flight love?

-It was good. Tiring I guess.

Oh! Don't worry u don't have to go to school tmrw, so u can sleep ol day long >.<

"Aww, Max is chatting with lover girl." chuckled Riley, startling me. I just rolled my eyes. Harper, was chatting animatedly with my brother Peter. I had no idea what the hell the topic was, but they seemed interested by it.

"Max.. ooh I can't wait for you to see Hailey.. Get your old friendship back.." giggled Mrs Thompson.

Hailey. That triggered thoughts. Memories I didn't want to remember, so I just smiled.

I started playing fruit ninja. I loved the game.

When I finally looked up from my phone I noticed the big house we were driving up to. We got out.

I had this odd sensation of someone staring at me. I whipped my head around to see a girl staring up at me from the window opposite house. Her familiar red hair caught my attention.

I raised my eyes to meet her green ones. For just a second time seemed to stop. She just stared back at me, petrified. And then she disappeared, just like that. It seemed that I'd only seen a ghost. A wisp of a memory that was quickly fading, no matter how hard I tried to grab onto it. Her face, slowly fading to the recesses of my mind.

And mind you, it was a beautiful one too.
