The 'Crush'er..

At age 13 I was a lanky boy with slight traces of a moustach below my nose.I was shy and except during classes, I always wore my sports cap stretched way below my forehead. But guess it didnt help much because of my height. I always noticed the 6th grader girls giggling as they walked past me or the other boys in my class hushing as i walked into the lab or library. The dreaded news had spread like wild fire..

People who thought me too be meek and laid back looked at me in astonishment. Even the peon who rang the bell looked at me and grinned. I could feel a scathing heat penetrating into the back of my shirt as if pricking my body with a thousand needles. I could feel my bones freeze and rattle like dead crumpled leaves.

Would it be a suspension that would follow??

I had dared to pen down my feelings for my crush Ms.Rosylips in class .. And slipped it stealthly into her bag.. But alas.. as my bad luck could have it- It was found by her best friend Ms. Cheekypeeves who promptly declared on top of her voice- see what do we have here. ohh.. a pink heart shaped envelope..soon the entire gang was peeking into what I felt was my heart.. The colours around me faded away and I was pulled into a deep grey periphery. I could see a lifeless corridor leading to the principal's office.. My heart was beating into my mouth..was it shame.. guilt that i felt?? I didnt know..
