Please Mind The Gap #1

Teddy stopped squirming and glared. "I don't need your help," she said scathingly in her English accent. "Just go away."

He snorted. "Clearly," he said, "you do, mate." Australian.

Teddy resumed her grunting, completely ignoring the irritating voice droning, "Doors are now closing. Please mind the gap."

"I can just let the train crush your foot," said the brown-haired guy nonchalantly. "I mean, I don't care."

"Please mind the gap."

"SHUT UP, VOICE!" Teddy shouted. She sighed. "Okay, Brownie, pull me out of here."

Brownie looked reproachful as he grabbed her by her hands and yanked none too kindly. "Brownie?"

"Ow!" Teddy groaned as her foot hit the edge of the platform. "Careful!"

He rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He pulled again and this time, with a loud yelp from Teddy, he was successful at rescuing her from the now closed doors.

And so Teddy Errol's foot/thigh/whole leg fell into the gap between the train and the platform. Miraculously, she was rescued by a handsome Australian guy who just so happened to be her opponent in her upcoming tennis match.

Lo and behold, Nathan Wren was probably the most annoying boy Teddy had ever met. Nathan was her complete opposite: always smiling and nice... and hiding a secret he's afraid to tell the world.

Maybe the rude girl and the boy of sunshine would somehow end up together after a series of weird and unexpected events and later be torn apart by problem after problem.

Guess all you have to do if you were in their situation is to mind the gap. Or maybe not. After all, the gap was surprisingly the thing that brought them together in the first place.
