4 Before I met you

My mind froze for a second as I begin to evaluate the last few words the head master spoke......third apology form?! Wait so does this mean she'll be expelled- no no that can't possibly be....or I was hoping that wasn't the case. The head master sits back on his leather-couch like seat and begins to scroll through some papers.

"Well well what do we have here" the headmaster grins as he spots out a sheet of paper from his mess and reads it aloud. "Isabella Rose, section B, first apology form submitted a month ago, broke into a fight in the hallway and severely injured a student."

I had no choice but to listen quietly as he pointed out Isabella's bad side, one by one. She bowed down her head, her eyes were closed. Emotions disappeared from her face in a jiffy as I glanced towards her. Perhaps... she was regretting her past choices??

The headmaster holds out another sheet in his hand and begins to read aloud. " Isabella Rose, section B, seco-" I cut him off immediately, couldn't he see the expressions on isabella's face? Yes there were none, isn't that enough to make you realize how one must feel to be reminded of their bad memories in front of an audience. Tsk...head teacher my ass

"Yes moving on sir where would u like me to sign?" The headteacher gives me an intimidating gaze as I cut him off but continues to smirk as he scrolls through more sheets, at least he stopped ranting for now. "Mr. Xain Xavier, sign this apology form on the bottom left right here" he says pointing out at the bottom of the page grinning his teeth like The Grinch.

"Next, your turn Miss Isabella Rose, sign here and enjoy your last day while u can, we don't accept any nuisances here." My blood was raging from head to toe, my fists were clenched, the headteacher's face was starting to look like a good punchbag for my workout. How does one get to decide who's to stay and who's to leave if he doesn't even know the full extent of reasoning behind their actions, they just know that these "nuisances" broke the rules, not knowing what forced them to.

"Wait Sir, the whole scene in the library, it was all my fault, I was listening to songs in the hallway and wasn't paying attention." The headmaster rose an eyebrow and exclaimed "That's another one on your accord Mr Xain, you know you are only allowed to use your digital devices in the library." The headmaster grabs the sheet he took out for Isabella shoves it in front of me.

"As for Isabella's case, I'll let her off the hook this time. It seems this whole scene was caused by your lack of attention Mr. Xain, I would be needing your second sign as well." One would have a frowned and sorry face as they accept their mistakes and sign the apology form, but I was.... shockingly enough.....smiling??

"Well that will be all, do not get into trouble again Mr. Xain and Ms. Isabella, as for that day would be your last." He stands up with a smirk on his face and heads towards the photocopy machine next to his office. "Sigh.... That was close..you okay Isabel-" I was dumbstruck as I glanced over to witness the frown on her face turn into the most wholesome smiles I had ever seen.

"You didn't have to do that but I appreciate it Xain, I didn't really care if I had been kicked from this hellhole....but that was before I met you." My eyes widened as I fell into a loophole wondering what had I done so vital to change her feelings about staying in the college....other than slamming a door on her face that is."Well as long as you're smiling, I'll smile too." I gave her a genuine smile back as we head outside the room-"Hey Xain!! I WAS SO WORRIED!" A familiar high pitched voice came rushing towards me and wrapped me around it's arms. "I swear u make me worry like this all the time, dummy Xain."

.....IT WAS EMMA!!
