She ran down the stairs, not believing she was late for her first day at a new school. Her clothes were a mess, her hair was sticking up at odd angles and she couldn't find her hairbrush. Grabbing her bag, which was almost empty, she ran out the door, not bothering to say goodbye as she knew her dad hadn't come home from work last night. Running down the street, she turned a corner, not realising that someone was standing there, and bumped right into him, making both of them crash to the floor.
"Sorry!" she shouted " i wasn't looking where i was going, and i was running and i didn't see you and i ...I'm sorry." she finished, feebly.
Jack Roberts had been walking to school, listening to his ipod, texting on his phone and plain not bothering to look where he was going, as he knew that everybody else was. As he rounded the corner, like he always did, he felt someone bump into him, sending them both falling to the floor, him landing on his back, the other person on top of him. As his earphones had fallen out in the fall, he could hear her babbling. He looked her up and down, from her messy, black hair, down to blue booted feet. She was wearing the standard uniform for the navy school, even with a few adjustments, so it was obvious at least one of her parents worked for the navy around here. Jack also didn't recgonise her, so she must be knew. How he didn't know about it, he didn't know, but oh well-she's cute.
" Don't worry about it. I wasn't watching were I was going either. I'm Jack roberts. What's your name?" he asked, interested.
"Hello Jack. My name is Riley. Once again, i'm sorry for crashing into you. I'm new, as you can probably tell, and i'm late! Anyway, where are you going? The schools that way? Isn't it?" Riley was forcing herself to be polite, as all she wanted to do was turn around and run.
" I said don't worry about it it. Riley. Thats a nice name. And no, the school is definitely that way." he replied, pointing in the direction he was going in the first place. "Come on" Now he was laughing "I'll show you".
