[i]‘I’m walking on sunshine whoa-’[/i] “Oh!” The last part came out as more of a surprised squeak as someone collided into her back and she stumbled forward, well more of forward and up, right into the staircase. A sharp pain flared up through her shin and the girl slowly climbed back to her feet, scooping up her book and holding it close to her chest as she pulled her headphones out and caught the last part of someone speaking.

“[i]Or that Klutz.[/i]”

Elle turned slightly to see some boy she’d never seen before standing before her. He seemed really freaked out. The girl glanced down at her shin, blood oozing down a sharp cut in the middle of her shin which must have been caused by the sharp edge of the stairs and staining her sock a deep red. Her mind quickly processed the situation, figuring it must have been him who had knocked her over, intentionally or not it didn’t really matter. Elle’s face softened eventually and she shrugged slightly.

“It’s alright.” The girl assured him in a gentle tone. “It was just an accident right? No harm done.” However she couldn’t help the small wince crossing her face as she began walking back down the hallway towards her dorm room, she’d have to clean and patch up her leg and change her socks, probably soak them to make sure they didn’t stain. Her skirt seemed to be untouched though, which was good, today was laundry and she was out of clean, ironed uniforms. “See ya around okay?” She gave him a small passing wave and another smile as she passed, suppressing the urge to apologise. Not that she had done anything wrong, it was just a habit.
