Wednesday's Writing Prompt — First Day of School

It's the first day of school, and your character is just about the walk through the school doors when someone runs over to stop him. Who is it? What does he say? Is it someone your character knows? Are they delivering good news or bad? How does your character respond? Does he ignore this person and continue into school, or does he listen to the unexpected visitor? How does this change your story?

This could also be something that happened in the past: a memory that was instrumental in leading your character to where he is today. Think about the consequences of your character's choice, either in the present moment, or as an important moment for backstory.
