Aphelios almost instantly loses his footing over the sidewalk's curb.  I reach out to try and grab him as he topples over into a group of people.

Aphelios crashes into the concrete right onto his butt.  Aphelios lets out a loud grunt of pain as his backpack falls off his back.  I reach out to give him a hand getting back up.

"Careful asshole" Aphelios angrily yells up to me.

"Yeah that's my bad, got lost in the moment there."

Aphelios gets back up to his feet after grabbing my hand.  That's when I noticed someone else was on the ground, a girl.  She was wearing the standard girls uniform.  It consists of a formal black blazer with white undershirt and a red tie.  The jacket has Runeterra Highs crest insignia on it.  It's basically the same as the boys uniform, except the blaring difference, a skirt that hangs to just about halfway down the thigh.

"Kai'sa you good" I look towards the voice and it's a boy with brown medium length hair.

The girl I guess named Kai'sa returns to her feet with the help of the boy from before and another girl.

That's when I feel Aphelios elbow me in the guy before he speaks to Kai'sa.

"I am so sorry for the inconvenience.  My idiot brother doesn't really think things through sometimes."

Upon his elbow making contact with my stomach I stumble over to one knee trying to suck in any air I can.

I look up in time to see Kai'sa turn towards Aphelios as if she wasn't even aware of what happened.

"Oh, that's quite alright, we are kind of taking up a lot of sidewalk space." She lets out a small smile.

"Well I sincerely apologize for both of us." Aphelios stretches his hand out to shake Kai'sa's.

Kai'sa returns the gesture giving a quick handshake.

"I'm Kai'sa" the girl formally introduces herself.

"I'm Aphelios,and that idiot gasping for air on the ground is my brother Y/N."

Finally regaining my breath I extend my hand up from my position on the ground.

Kai'sa reaches out to shake before also giving a soft tug to signal she wants to help me to my feet.  I finally regain my own footing before flattening out my uniform.

"Yeah, like Aphelios said, I'm Y/N.  And sorry for the problem." 

"That's quite alright like I said, but please do try and keep from knocking any more people over."

"I'll try my best" I give a smile back.

The boy from before steps forward and gestures his hand forward for one of us to shake it.

"My name's Cameron, but my friends call me Cam, it's nice to meet you.  Even if it's under the current circumstances."

Aphelios reaches for his hand to shake, I follow suit afterward.

Another boy with short cut orange hair steps forward aswell.

"I'm Allan, but if you want to call me Al I won't hold it against you" the boy let's out a small smile.

He then adds "I'd offer to shake hands but I went for a morning run, and til I get to the school lockers I haven't showered."

I reply "That's quite alright, it's nice to meet you" I give a simple wave of the hand.

Then there was one girl left for introductions.  She was half hiding behind Allan holding onto his jacket.

Allan moves out of the way revealing a shorter girl with medium length brown hair.
