Suddenly, I have the sudden urge to just get out of there. I jump up and manoeuvre my way around people and baggage. Before I’m home free, however, I get knocked in the knee with something big and really hard, almost doubling me over from the force and pain.
“Ow! Christ! Watch it, will you?” I snap at the offender. I look up to see a rather shocked looking guy. Young, probably about the same age as me, short brown hair, big innocent brown eyes and a button down shirt.
“Oh god, I’m so sorry.” He releases the handle of the suitcase and steps closer to see if I’m alright.
I hold up my hand in agitation. “I’m fine. Why don’t you just watch where you’re going.” I straighten myself up and continue on my path out of the airport, leaving the young guy looking quite forlorn.

PLOT Four people leading four separate lives...for now. Three of these characters leave their homes in three various parts of the country; British Columbia, Nova Scotia and Quebec. They all venture to the big city, Toronto, to discover what life has in store.
Sooner than later, their lives will begin to intersect with one another's in unlikely ways.
CHARACTERS
Broden - leaving BC, has a new job as a lawyer with an up and coming firm, still relies on his parents' trust fund, believe's himself to be a 'ladies man'.
Leslie - leaving Nova Scotia, an artist, an individual, has been living on her own for some time as her parents are hippie travellers, outgoing, can sometimes be fanciful and is easily caught up in dreams
Matthieu - leaving Quebec, a guy's guy, looking for something 'more' than his current situation, rough on the outside but not such a bad guy on the inside.
Samantha - lives in Toronto, practical, seems to find herself on the bad end of things often, (very) recently broke up with her boyfriend, not sure where she'll go from here.
ADDITIONAL
Each chapter should be told from one of the four character's point of view. The sequence does not need to stay in the order that has been already laid out, just as long as a character does not get forgotten along the way.
As you can see from the end of Samantha's chapter, the characters are beginning to cross paths. Where things will go from here is completely up for grabs. : D
