Writing a novel. Love story. How should these two characters meet?!?!?

This is about a girl who is very good good girl who gets good grades never did a bad thing in her life who falls in love with a bad boy who is in a gang. She runs away one night and accidental walks into a very very bad neighborhood. But how do they meet? I can't think of any ideas.

Help would be greatWriting a novel. Love story. How should these two characters meet?!?!?Usually when I write love stories, the two characters already know each other somehow

So I tend to avoid this situation

Although, I've never written one with this type of a plot



Perhaps the 'bad boy' can go to her school, so they already kind of know each other

Not even as acquaintances, just as a face they've seen in the hallways



Then as she is walking through this neighborhood, his gang stops her because she is pretty and tries to seduce her

And he defends her slightly

Not like saving her heroically or anything, but some sort of defense

It can even be obnoxiously defending

Like saying she's not good in bed or something

Then again, it doesn't have to be sexual

But it can be something like that



Gah, ideas for stories are a painWriting a novel. Love story. How should these two characters meet?!?!?
He robs her, but then has a change of heart. :)Writing a novel. Love story. How should these two characters meet?!?!?She gets cornered by three drunk guys and the bad boy comes and saves her because they are from an enemy gang. She stares ate him and says thank you and then he tells her if she tells anyone he hurt them he'll kill her.
How about the guy is in that neighborhood and they cross each others paths. She feels like going to talk to him but the guy doesnt bother to notice her until, IDK, say about a week later?

IDK that was the first thing that came to my mindWriting a novel. Love story. How should these two characters meet?!?!?he gets caught cheating off of her in class (is he in school too?) and they both get sent to the principal's office because the teacher thinks she helped him.



he got in a fight with her brother



she babysits his little sister



his mom is her teacher and he came to class one day to pick something up



she rear ended his car in trafficWriting a novel. Love story. How should these two characters meet?!?!?
The girl could be half walking half running down the street of the bad neighborhood when a car with bright headlights drives toward her. As the car gets closer it doesn't slow down and she is so surprised that she doesn't move. Next thing you know she is in the hospital and the bad guy is there because he was the driver of the car. He starts taking care of her at school because of injuries and they find they have a lot in common.
k, so imagine this:

girl walking down the street, right?

so then she's like seeing this dark figure approaching from a distance, and of course, it gets closer and closer and closer, till she can make out a face

and then bam, she and the guy have a little encounter where they keep sidestepping each other and she goes to the right trying to let him pass, and then he goes to the right and they have this little dance right?

they straighten things out, and have a little laugh about it

and hes like" what r u doing here at this late?"

he seems trustworthy, brings her either:

a) back out of the neighborhood to his apartment (hint, hint)

b) back to the girls house



and so on...

hope this helps!!!

ooo i like all the goo ideas. if this is a light romance then bumping into each other at a store is cool. but i think a lil mystery is better how about he comes to her rescue when she screams after finding a dead body and then he becomes a person of interest and they work together to clear his name.
maybe the bad guy is in the run from the police and he sees the girl so he takes her as hostage. the police couldnt do anything about it because obviously the hostage cannot be harmed in any way so he backs away with a knife around her neck and so on but make it different. this 'good girl' and 'bad boy' has been made into a movie before like in 1990. this chinese movie or something. i think its called a moment of romance.
