"Oh sorry!"

I said whilst quickly running through a family photo. I turned around but still continued to jog along the beach, turned back to see who I had interfeired with, and someone caught my eye.

"How do i know him?"  I whispered under my breath, to myself. 

I turned back to the direction i was jogging, and then turned back again, 'what beautiful long blonde hair' I thought, still trying to recognize where i had seen him! I turned back and continued with my jog again, veered off of the beach and sat on a bench along a footpath. 

To be honest, I quite like being by myself at a beautiful place like the beach. It gives me time to think and reflect without having to speak my emotions, which is like trying to explain the taste of water. I took in my surroundings, watching couples, bike riders, joggers, children and families walk past and enjoy the beach and the beautiful summers day. I looked slighlty left to see the same long blonde hair boy approaching me.

"It's not just you, I cant work it out either" he said to me while taking a seat next to me. 

I took out my earphones and looked him in the eye. 

"Pardon me?" I said pretending that I didnt hear him say it.

"It's not just you! I want to know how I know you, and I want to know how you know me" he explained to me. 

I was confused how he knew what i was thinking, and he is thinking the same thing!

"Well go on! tell me your name." he said  with a smirk on his face, looking me right in the eyes.

My thoughts took over; 'Ugh his eyes! they are so beautiful, and oh his hair... it's perfect!' I got lost in his eyes and completley forgot to answer his question. how embarresing! 

"um..." I was about to say my name, when i got cut off...

"You don't know your name?" he chuckled to himself, trying to pay me out. "I guess i will start, I'm..."

"Max" I cut him off. Wow, I do the dumbest things! He knows his own name, i didn't need to tell him. "Oh and me? I'm Olivia" 

"So tell me Olivia how did you know that?" he asked me, emphasizing my name. He looked confused although pleased that I somehow knew him. 

I have never liked my name so much, untill he said it. I am so embarresed, honestly I am hopeless at talking to boys, how on earth am I even meant to explain how i know him, when I dont even know the answer myself? I need to talk to people more often, maybe find some friends. 

"Honestly, I don't know" I said raising one eyebrow making it obvious I was trying to think.

and then it hit. 

"19th of October 2014, Tom's party." we both said at the exact same time. "you remembered?" we both asked, again in sync.
