Chapter One- Oblivious Reunion

James Armstrong looked up from his steaming mocha to glare at the door as it opened, setting off the chime. As he turned his glare towards the person who had just come in his facial expression changed to surprise.

A young woman, around the age of sixteen, stepped through and closed the door. Looking around she caught James' eye and smiled. Her dirty blonde hair ran down to her waist covering the print on her ripped denim jacket and her white Ramones shirt which was tucked into a pair of black high-waisted jeans with rips going down the legs.

Blinking Josh tuned back into the conversation his mates were having. As usual it was something rather weird. Josh, Ben and Ryker were talking about a girl. An ex-girlfriend of some guy, whose sisters' best friends' brother, got caught up in a shootout. But James' attention was soon reverted back on the girl, who at this point in time was being handed a hot chocolate by the boredom filled guy behind the counter.

As she turned around, her eyes drifted towards the booth that was being occupied by the guys. She slowly walked over in a shy manner, looking directly at James.

"Hi… I'm Max or Maximum… It really depends on what you wish to call me, and I don't mean 'call me', that's silly because you don't… have my… number. And now here I'm blabbering on, dammit." She let out a little laugh and scratched the back of her neck grinning slightly. "So anyway, do you mind if I sit here... Everywhere else is full."

"Sure, why not." Four pairs of eyes flashed towards him; one pair grateful and the others in shock. "Thank you so much!" She plonked herself down next to the ginger, who was sitting there awkwardly, "So… You know you can continue your conversation. Just pretend I'm not here or something, I really couldn't care less."

James let out a little laugh as he held out his hand, "The names James Armstrong." Max eyed off his hand before letting her eyes trail up his arm, and, as a faint blush appeared on her face, she shook his hand saying that it was nice to meet him. James soon continued introducing everyone else, the skirmish ginger being Rocky Steineckert, the tall guy bouncing around in his seat was Josh Young, and the last one, who was just staring at her, was Ben Daniels. Hearing the last name Max's eyes widened slightly but it went unnoticed by the four men.

The conversation continued between Max and James as the other three started talking about previous matters.

As Max took the last sip out of her now cold drink and looked over at the guys who were fighting over a chip. Laughing she looked over at James, catching him glancing at her. "Well I better get going, my mums probably about to send out a search party… Anyway it was nice to meet you all, wouldn't mind bumping into you again." She got up and went and put her mug over on the counter then came back to grab her wallet off the table before saying goodbye once again.

'That was K-unit…' Shaking her head she looked down at her wallet noticing a small bit of napkin poking out of the top. She stopped to take a look at it, taking it out she flattened it in her hand and read; Long time no see Cub -Wolf. Her eyes widened as she spun around to look back into the café looking at the man she now knew as James, who laughing to himself. 'Well, that's awkward.'
