[They’ve never met before, but Henry already knows Alec by reputation alone. Everyone in school mutters about how much he gets in trouble, how many fights he picks. How detention might as well be his second home for how long he spends there. And though a twelve year-old that keeps to himself is not privy to the rumors that fly around between the adults, he doesn’t need to be. Alec is the kind of kid he does not want to cross paths with, the complete opposite of himself in every imaginable way.
Fate must be having a laugh to literally send Henry on a collision course with him today. But he barely has time to register what’s happened before he’s pushed back. He stumbles, wobbling, actually falling down to land hard on his backside, pencils and a few notebooks flying forth from his backpack. He is, unfortunately, as physically inept as he looks.
Eyes widen up at Alec. He is… not equipped to deal with this.]
I said I was sorry.
[He’s just going to gather up his things in an awkward scramble, not making eye contact. Maybe he’ll be left alone now that he’s been thrown to the pavement just outside the perimeter of the school.]
