• "Time to get up!" Paton got out of bed with a questionable look on her face, as if you had just told her a joke she did not understand. When you looked at her straight in the eye you saw she was kind and happy the kind of thing that makes you want to walk up and say hi, yet you saw one memory that haunted her you just couldn't tell what it was.

    She pulled on her clothes, tucked her long black hair behind her ears, grabbed her backpack, and ran off to the car. The ride to school was the same as usual but something her mother said had caused her to think about something else. She didn't even know what she was doing when she got out of the car. The only thing that got her out thinking was when she bumped into a boy. As they bent down to pick up their stuff that was scattered all over the floor they both said, "Sorry," at the same time. They looked up into each others eyes and did not stop for even the school bell.

    This boy was tall, very strong looking, he had black hair with red in it, and was dressed in only black. The tall boy finally said, "Hi I'm Z," but Paton was still lost in his eyes. He helped her get her stuff together. Then Paton spoke, "I'm sorry for running into you." Z only smile and said, "I hope it happens again."
