Love #3

          He leaned on one side of the wall and placed his toe on the wall continually shaking it. He bit into his nails as the tension soared up. He was called to the principal's office. Throughout the day the most notorious students were called down to the room one by one and came back crying. He knew something big was going down. But what he didn't know is why he was called.
         She was in there right now and maybe that's why he was so worried. He kept thinking about things that were good in his life right now to cover up his anxiety. That is when the door opened slowly breaking his chain of thoughts. She left the left the room looking down at her feet and seemed to have just stopped crying. She looked up and managed to give him a faint smile anyway as the teacher motioned him to enter the room.
         He crossed his fingers and just hoped it wasn't about them that the principal wanted to talk about. As he entered the principal sat on the large leather chair sipping water from a glass that he had permanently seen covered with a coaster. His mind went into overdrive thinking about the things that could go wrong. He was blankly looking at the coaster as the principal said, "You know your parents don't approve of her."
"Of her or any girl at all?" he said before he could stop himself.
"Why do you want to do this? Is this girl worth losing your parents' trust?"
"But why can't I just do this without causing a war?"
He was crying by now. He had never cried in school before. But now he couldn't control himself.
The peon entered and said something to the principle as she went of the room. She handed him a bottle of water and said think about an answer.
'What can I think? I love her..'That was all he cared about. He wiped out the tears from her eyes and looked around in the room. That is when he saw her. She was standing in the library and wasn't aware of the camera above her. 'That is the most beautiful person I have seen in my life.. I can't just define why  I love her.' Seeing her face gave him courage. He stopped sobbing and drank some water as the principal entered the room.
"So tell me.."
"Because I love her" He said. Laying stress on the L word.
"Do you even know what love is?"

"Love is when you know that you can blindly say yes to whatever she proposes. Love is when you know what will make her happy and do it even though it means it will hurt you. Love is not common and if You are asking me this you probably wouldn't understand my theory at all. This maybe too common but yes. That's what this is. Love- When you feel like crying out tears for no apparent reason when you hear her laugh. When you get angry at even one word said against her. And when you know it's wrong but you do it anyway. We know life is definitely going to end with death. Then why live it at all? I live for the momentary high and so I love her, If that's not enough I guess you can call my parents anyway and tell them I love this girl. Because that will lead to a breakup and then probably you will be happy"

   That's what he should have said at least.Before which his mother burst through the door and took him home. And it never came back to normal again
