Samada reached the door only for his backpack to get stuck leaving his legs flailing at the air.'Come on come come on come on!'Gritting his teeth as he pulled with all his might and eventually got free, though in his haste had failed to notice the person who had gotten off ahead of him.' Aah WATCH OUT!?'Too late as he slammed into Shakti knocking both of them on the ground with Samada on top of him and his backpack smushing both.'owowowowow...huh?'Blinking after realizing what happened and flailed his arms in a panic.'Gah! sorry about that!'Nudging the backpack off to the side then hopped up while bowing his head, giving multiple rapid apologies.'Sorry so sorry!'He rambled out while trying to help and brush dust and dirt off him.
Someone barreled into Shakti from behind, knocking him to the ground. But before he even had time to register what had happened, he had been pulled back to his feet and was being dusted off and apologized to by a red-haired boy.
"D-Don't worry about it," Shakti replied with a weak smile and putting up his hands in a gesture of reassurance, still slightly bewildered. Shakti was a bit surprised that the boy was helping to brush him off. Due to his feminine appearance, most boys thought touching Shakti would be considered inappropriate. Shakti didn't mind, since they were both guys, but it did make him wonder if the red-haired boy could tell that Shakti was male, or perhaps just oblivious to the norms of gender etiquette.
Shakti sidestepped slightly, to allow the flow of foot traffic off the bus to be unimpeded. "Name's Shakti," he introduced himself, figuring that getting to know each other would be the best way to put the awkwardness of their collision behind them.
