The Big Bang Theory High School

The Coupling Paradigm

Rajesh was walking through the hallways, smiling to himself. Sheldon had promised to talk to Penny regarding his matter. He could, indeed, talk to women now. Something he had overcome in senior school. Yes, that's what they called it in New Delhi: Senior School. He was one of the best students at Sanskriti school. Anyway, Penny had promised to help find Raj a prom partner. As soon as Raj entered his room and shut the door..

Knock knock knock. "Raj"
Knock knock knock. "Raj"
Knock knock knock. "Raj"

Ugh. This was probably the hundredth time Sheldon had knocked to show him a partner. All were ridiculously weird. Raj wasn't choosy, but a blind girl wasn't someone who cracked his top 10.

"If she is bald or blind. " Raj said as he faced Sheldon. "I will kill you."

"No, in fact, she is the best I know."
"Who?"
"Bernadette Rostenkownsi. Microbiologist. Testing biologist."

He then lead him to a small room at the cornermost sections. The one where peons used to live. Inside was Penny, looking gorgeous as always in a tank top and khakis and highlighted blonde hair tied in a high ponytail. Beside her was a short girl with blonde wavy hair and spectacles. She was not as stunning as Penny but pretty. She was wearing a sundress with a cardigan on top. "Hi. Rajesh?" She spoke in a high pitched voice. "I am Bernadette." "Hi." Raj replied.

They both were lost in each other's eyes.

"Sooooo..." Penny not-so-subtly cut in between the awkward silence. "How do you like each other?"

"I love her! My perfect prom partner. Thanks both of you." Raj said.

"Yeah."
