A Plate of Crossiants

"What's the need for holidays, Mr.Mizra? I don't think a need for it!" He exclaimed, stirring his coffee- or more precisely, his $5 cappuccino with foam, and a dash of chocolate syrup. 

"It should have a meaning, Ali. It's a break for everyone. Even for me. We are all tired from school works and homework. You need it too! Look at those black bags you got under your eyes! How much sleep have you been getting?" Mr. Mizra chuckled at his plight. 

"It doesnt matter. I have my coffee to help me." He responded, holding his hot cup towards him. 

"Its time for my next class. Got to teach 11 A. I still have 6 more chapters, and the deadline is first of next month!" Mizra exclaimed, pacing his suitcase. 

"Chemistry, ryt?" He chuckled. 

"Dont make me smack your face, Ali." Mizra growled playfully. 

Both Mizra and Ali are good friends, despite working in different departments of the AIR School.. Mizra is a chemistry teacher while Ali is for Physics. Both the departments are devoted and dedicated to STEM. 

 " Oh, and, you are held up right now. Remember the new Biology recruit? She wishes to meet you. She met me today morning during the snacks break. She wishes to know about each of us so she could mingle well." Mizra smirked. 

"And you told her I was free." Ali said with a poker face "you know I am not. I still have Waves and Oscillatons to teach 11D!" 

"Every excitation of electron makes it move to a higher orbital" He quoted, smiling smugly. 

"Hows that even related?" He asked scratching his head

"You'll see." 

Ali waited for the biology recruit in the canteen. He kept stirring his coffee. By the laws of thermodynamics and the principle of Caloriemetry, his coffee would get cold as it is a ideal open system. In 10 minutes, he saw her. Rushing towards him like there was no tomorrow. Her hair waved through the wind. But it was just a simple theory of Waves. 

"Hi!" She exclaimed breathlessly "I'm Ms. Raina, new biology recruit. I'm sure your friend must have let you know I'm coming. And...sorry for the delay! I had to drop my brother to school. And your humble name, sir?"

"Mr. Nawaz. But you can call me Ali." He responded "Why would you have to drop your brother now? Isn't it past lunch?" 

"Oh, he got sick two days before. Now he's better!" 

"Shall I order you tea or coffee?" He stretched out 

"Oh I just had some juice. Something hot and solid would be nice." She replied

"This place sells the best croissants. Wanna try?" 

"They sound lovely, but expensive. I mean $10 just for a steaming croissant? Ineffable!" She exclaimed. 

"Please, let me pay for you." He said, smiling. 

Raina just accepted his proposal and waited for the croissants. Ali sat down opposite to her and she began the conversation. 

"So, Ali, which department are you from?" 

"Physics." He retorted. 

"You guys are devoted to STEM, then, huh?" 

Ali awkwardly stared. 

"Do you understand our biology policies, or it's like Greek to you? I mean, all students of your department who have not taken it feel that way. If you are not familiar with it, then ofc it sounds like a foreign language!" 

 Ali couldn't hear the rest of the voice. What was happening? 

He felt everything moving in slo-mo. According to Sound, that's not possible. The way she raised her hand, the way she smiled at him, the graceful glint of her eyes brought him pleasure and desire. No, it's not right, snap out of it, Ali! 

He tried to shake it off. No. It remained the same. She kept talking but her voice was inaudible. Sound waves are always transverse. They vibrate and their superposition never cuts off. It looks like some spell! 

'Is it some kind of witchcraft?' He thought to himself. He felt his conscience speaking to him "No, its magic. It's the magic of love. It makes you crazy and mad, driven with odd pleasures and desires."

"Mr. Ali?"Raina asked, snapping her fingers. 

"Oh uh sorry I zoned out...you were saying?" He asked, wiping the beads of perspiration from his forehead. 

"Sir, if it's alright i can go, I have another class anyway, and I don't want to be a burden to you.." Ali stopped her as she picked her bag.

"Ms. Raina, I need to confess to you, before it's too late." He begged, with an earnest glint in his eyes, that made her stay and listen. 

"Ms. Raina, I have been admiring you ever since you joined. You stole my heart. Your smile could earn you a million suns, your eyes could win over a billion moons, practically not possible but.." Ali was interrupted by a giggle 

"Its okay to not be practical for once, Ali," she said with a pleasing smile 

"Anď...Ì need you to make my life practical, Raina," he finished off. 

For a moment, silence surrounds. For once, Ali felt, Physics was not existent, at all. 

"A plate of croissants, sir?" A waiter broke the silence, decked in a velvet suit. 

Ali looked up at the waiter presenting his decorative plate. 

"Yes please" He agreed as they ate the steaming Plate of Croissants in silence, again.
