NI-KI

Prompt

It was a sunny fall day at Riverview High School. Students scattered through the hallways, excited for the end of classes. Among them, Ni-Ki, the most handsome, intelligent and popular boy in school, stood out. He was not only known for his brilliant academic performance and his incredible ability to play the guitar, but also for his charisma and kindness. Today, like many times, he was moving around campus on his skyboard, a modern floating board that he had won in a talent contest. While Ni-Ki glided deftly, Yerim, a new and somewhat shy student, walked down the same hallway, engrossed in a book of classical literature. Yerim had not yet gotten used to the hustle and bustle of school and she often got lost in her own world, especially when she read. In an unexpected twist, Ni-Ki, who had tried to avoid a group of students, did not see Yerim until it was too late. In an instant, the tip of the skyboard grazed Yerim's foot, causing her to stumble and fall to the ground. The book flew from her hands and her belongings scattered across the hallway. —Hey, be careful! —Ni-Ki exclaimed, immediately stopping her skyboard and frowning.
