Star-crossed

A/N: This is my attempt at an AU John Smith/Rose Tyler fic. Please review. I want to know what you think. This is just human stuff. Aliens are mentioned, but there is no Doctor. Hope you like it. I need ideas for this story.

Chapter 1

Rose Tyler had had a rough life. She was a high school drop out. She had been hurt by her boyfriend, who had put her so far into debt, she was still paying it off at 21. She was working two jobs at different cafes. All she ever wanted to do was sing professionally. Today, she was heading down the street to her job at Tina's.

"Oi! Watch where you're going!" Rose cried. A man had run into her, causing her tea to spill on her.

"Miss, I'm so sorry. This was a complete accident. Let me pay for another tea." The man said.

"It's alright. Really, it is. You just startled me." Rose answered. She got a good look at the man. He was tall, skinny, spiked brown hair that defied gravity, and soft brown eyes. He was gorgeous. "My name's Rose Tyler."

"Hello, Rose Tyler. I'm John Smith." He gave her a silly grin.

"Hold on, John Smith. As in, the singer, John Smith?" Rose was shocked.

"Yes. I suppose so. I should like to talk again. Next time, under better circumstances."

"Alright. I'll give you my number." Rose scribbled her number down.

"Here's mine. I'm guessing you're on your way to work?" John asked.

"Yes, I work at Tina's." Rose said. "I'm a waitress." She still could not believe this.

"Ah, yes. The manager is Miss Donna Noble. Correct?" John asked her.

"Yeah, she's lovely." Rose looked at her watch. "Oh my gosh! I'm late! Sorry, I have to go. I'll call you."

"Okay. You better. Hey, and before you go."

"Yes?" Rose asked.

"Tell Miss Noble that you were star-crossed, on the way there. She'll understand, and won't dock your pay." John smiled.

"Okay, thanks. Goodbye, John Smith." Rose started walking towards the café.

"Goodbye, Rose Tyler." He had already taken a liking to her.

A/N: So how was it? I'm dedicating this story to my good friend Margaret. She loves the story, so this is for her. Updating soon.
