Who: Johnny and Jacen. What: A bump in the hallway. When: Tuesday Morning. Where: Moses Pearson High School. Rating: Probably low.
Spring was definitely in the air, most notable by the fact that Johnny's cousin so graciously continued to serenade the lunch table with her lovely sneezes. It wouldn't be long before he would be accompanying her to go to the drug store for some allergy medication. Johnny didn't mind. It was all in a day's work really, and truthfully, he didn't like the way Penny was starting to look lately. Or maybe it was just his imagination.
Popping open his locker, Johnny paused to read over a text message from his mother. She didn't worry about him as much as Penny's mom worried about Penny, but she still wanted to know if he'd gotten to school all right. Of course, it was disguised as a joke and not so much a "Are you there yet?" He pulled out his morning books and slammed his locker before answering the text from his mother with the generic "lol".
And just as Johnny was about to look up, he felt the force of someone colliding with him. That someone was also texting or doing something with their phone. His phone. His... "Allen?" Johnny was surprised to see Jacen being unable to walk and text at the same time. It was a hazard to all. "That'll be a hundred bucks for texting while walking in a no texting while walking zone, buddy."
