-Mac's POV-



I toss and turn in my bed.

Can't fall asleep.. ugh

It's so annoying when your brain doesn't want to shut up and sleep when you want it to.

What am I gonna do for the next 2 months of vacation time? I can't remember the last time I had a vacation.. man, maybe Doc is right, I have been overworking myself to the point that my body can't handle the stress. I feel like this vacation will help me find some peace for myself somehow.

I tightly close my eyes to try to fall asleep but was interrupted by loud footsteps coming up the stairs.

"Ughh What is it now?" I groan in annoyance.

Looking to the door, I finally see Ash come barging in. She quickly turns to me and faces me with a shocking expression on her face. Breathing heavily and staring at me.

"Uhh Are you okay?" I raised an eyebrow. "You look kind of scared, did you saw something?"

Then Ash held up a book in front of her. I squint my eyes to take a closer look at it from my bed, and then I recognized it.

It's my old photos book!

"Hey!" I said, getting up out of bed. "What are you doing with that book?!"

I took the book from her hands out of force.

"This book is personal!" I angrily said. "Why are you going through my stuff?!"

"M-Mac.." Ash said with the same expression on her face. "What school did you went when you in the 4th grade?"

"Uhh Bronx elementary school?" I answered. "Why?"

Instantly Ash gasped and held both her hands over her mouth.

"I-I'm real sorry if I went through your stuff, but I need you to look at this one photo for a moment!" Ash snatched the book out of my hands, quickly skimming through the photos.

"Here!" Ash holds the book way too close to my face and used her pointer. "Right here!"

"I don't have to see that close!" I snatch the book back to get a better view of the photo myself.

Hey, I remember this photo...

"Yeah what about it?" I asked, tilting my head wondering why she wanted me to see this.

Ash gave out a long groan of annoyance as she points to a small girl next to me in the photo.

"Ya see her?" Ash asked.

"Uhh Yeah" I said. "What about her?"

"Seriously?!" Ash said in surprise. "Right there,  in that photo, that girl, sitting right next to you, is me!"

WHAT?!

I widen my eyes as I quickly look back at the photo. I stared at it for a moment, then I look to Ash, then back at the photo, then back at Ash, then back at the photo once more, then back at Ash again.
