Production Log – Entry 7
Just got back from Max Hastings’ house. It felt strange being there, like walking through some kind of crime-scene reconstruction; it looks just the same as it does in those Facebook photos Naomi and co. took of that fateful night five years ago. The night that forever changed this town. Max still looks the same too: tall, blonde floppy hair, mouth slightly too wide for his angular face, somewhat pretentious. He said he remembered me, though, which was nice.
After speaking to him . . . I don’t know, I can’t help but think something’s going on here.
Either one of Sal’s friends is misremembering about that night, or one of them is lying. But why?
Transcript of interview with Max Hastings
Pip: All right, recording. So, Max you’re twenty-three, right?
MaxWrong actually. I’m twenty-five in about a month.
: Pip: Oh.
MaxYeah, when I was seven I had leukaemia and missed lots of school, so I got held back
:a year. I know, I’m a miracle boy.
Pip: I had no idea.
MaxYou can have my autograph later. : Pip: OK, so, jumping straight in, can you describe what Sal and Andie’s relationship was like?
MaxIt was fine. It wasn’t like the romance of the century or anything. But they both thought :the other was good-looking, so I guess it worked.
Pip: There wasn’t more depth to it?
MaxDon’t know, I never really paid attention to high-school romances. : Pip: So how did their relationship start?
