I apologize

I bump headfirst into a guy from behind as he was talking to his friends. Surprised by the quite hard collision he drops his coffee to go cup to the floor.

"What the..." he turns arround audibly annoyed, but his anger seems to vanish in an instant as he just stands there looking at my face.

"I am sorry... It was my fault. I did not look. I buy you a new cup." I offered awkwardly.

"Never mind! No harm done and I think you guys must be in a hurry for class anyway. I am Mark Neilson. I have never seen you around before. Are you a new student?"

Mark has short black hair and must be around a head taller than me. He has an athletic build and is very handsome. He is wearing the school's football jersey with the number sixteen.

"Yes... yes. I just transfered here today." I reply.

"Yeah, I thought that much. You are very pretty. We would have noticed. What's your name?" Mark asks.

I am very nervous and not used to boys praising my looks so directly. However I think the polite thing should be to return the praise.

"Th-thank you. My name is Lisa... Lisa Meier... I think you are very handsome, too." I blush and lower my eyes not having the courage to look directly at him.

"Oww... It seems there is another sweet chick falling for you dude." Another guy from the football team hollers before turning to me grinning. "I have to disappoint you sweety. This guy is already taken. You can become my girlfriend though."

I am so ashamed by his talk I wish the ground would open and swallow me up.

Luckily Anna is there to save me. "Sorry guys, we have to go to class now. Byebye!" She takes my right hand and pulls me in to the direction of the exit quickly.
