Molly hurried through the hall. She couldn't believe she'd forgot to set her alarm...but she had been pretty tired last night, for some reason.
She wasn't watching where she was going, and she slammed right into a boy who was coming around the corner, also not watching where he was going. They fell to the ground .
Molly blushed embarassedly, looking into to see who she'd bumped into. They didn't know each other that well, but she'd seen him around. His name was Jon something...
Jon was equally embarrassed.
"Sorry, it was...my fault," they both said, reflexively.
Jon looked at her. He'd never seen her before. But he didn't know every student at school. He might have walked past her in the hall at some point.
"I was late," Molly said.
Jon struggled to his feet, then helped her. "I'm Jon," he said. "I think I've seen you around," he tried.
"Molly," she said. "I've seen you around too," she said. "I don't think we've really ever talked though." She laughed a bit. "I don't think you'll forget my name now."
He probably wouldn't. But he had bigger problems right now, unfortunately.
"I'd better get to class," Molly said. "Maybe we'll bump into each other another time," she said. She laughed again. "Umm...not really bump though." She smiled and hurried off to class.
Jon paused for a moment. Why couldn't bumping into her be the something interesting? I get the school's biggest nerd girl turned into another Sarah McMillan. As if one wasn't enough.
