Simon 'Ghost' Riley

You had moved with your mother a few months ago to a small town. You didn't have many friends until you met Simon. He was one of your neighbors, and to your surprise, you were the same age.

They hadn't spoken much, until one night when you saw him leave his house around 2am; he seemed to want to escape his surroundings.

You, who were sitting at your front door unable to sleep, spoke to him

That's how they started talking more often; he would always come to your house and they would spend time together, so much so that sometimes they would fall asleep on the sofa.

You started to feel attracted to him, but you didn't say anything for fear of ruining what you had.

Later on, he began to distance himself with small excuses: "I can't today," "maybe tomorrow," "we'll leave it for next week," "I'm busy."

You didn't understand what had happened, because he had suddenly stopped coming.

Even that dinner that your mother organized with your family...

When you arrived you didn't see Simon anywhere, you assumed he was busy in his room, until his mother called him for lunch and you knew why he had been ignoring and avoiding you all this time

Beside him, holding his hand, a blonde girl was laughing at something he had said

When you saw them, you froze for a few seconds, staring at them with disappointment? Frustration? Jealousy? You didn't know what you were feeling at that moment.
