RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGG!
Kori Ander's alarm clock rang. She got up, and got into the shower. She shampooed her long, flowing red hair. She dried herself off, and put on a pair of white capris and a pink halter-top.
Walking out the door, she jumped into her red convertible. She drove to the Coffee shop, got out, and went inside.
"Hey guys," she said.
"Hey Kori," Tara and Gar said.
"Where's Raven?" Kori asked them.
۞۞۞
"I'm gonna be late, I'm gonna be late," Raven murmured, running down the alley. She was already making up excuses in her head. 'My alarm clock didn't go off,' 'I slept in,' 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…'.
All this thinking caused her to not know pay attention to where she was running, and before she knew it, her foot was caught is a hole, her ankle twisted, she fell to the ground, hit her head on the pavement, and everything went black.
The next thing she knew, two sturdy hands were lifting her into a sitting position. She opened her eyes to see a boy, about her age, crouching on the ground helping her up. He had spiky black hair and gleaming blue eyes, brighter than the sky.
"It looks broken," he stated, plainly.
"What?"
"Your ankle, I think it's broken. Where were you going in such a hurry?"
"Work. I was going to be late. Now I most definitely am."
"I can help you get there," He offered. "Here, let me just wrap you ankle." He tore off the bottom of his shirt and wrapped it tightly around her ankle. He helped her stand up. "So, where am I taking you? I'll give you a ride on my motorcycle."
"Um…. Murray's Coffee Shop." She said.
"Oh, I was headed there anyway. Oh and do you think maybe I could get a job there? I need money to pay my rent, and your bus girl spilled water over all of my applications."
"Probably. We can always use some help." She replied as he helped her onto the motorcycle.
He started the motorcycle, and the rode off.
"What's your name?" He yelled over his shoulder to her.
"Raven Roth," she responded, "You?"
"Richard. It's nice to meet you, Raven Roth."
"Same."
