'What? Aneri? I mean how? i mean wait a second.'
'Please stop overreacting Rohan.'
'Overreacting? Am i really? You're in love with the most ignored person in the whole school where as you're the most popular guy!'
'So yeah what?'
'So like she'll use you. To gain attention. Trust me'
'That's the end of the discussion.'
Rohit walked out of the room, slamming the door with all of his strength.
Rohan stood there not knowing how to react any further.

While walking towards the auditorium hall, all of a sudden Rohit was pulled by someone to one dark corner of the courtyard.
'Chitra what are you doing?' Rohit asked and freed his hands from Chitra's.
'Trying to be little out of control with my prom date.'
'Who said i'm your date?'
'What? as if you won't be.'
'Yeah right.'
'Rohit are you nuts? You know what? I'm Chitra. I mean all of the guys up there are waiting to ask me out for tonight and here i'm making myself so easy with you and you're there like!'
'There like what? Listen Chitra, you're a real good friend of mine. I appreciate the fact that you want to go to the prom with me, but i am not interested.'
'I'm embarrassed Rohit.'
'Well you should be.'
Rohit got out the place and headed towards the auditorium but Chitra leaned to the wall and gradually ended up crying.
'And i'll see whom you go to the prom with.' she said to herself addressing the question to Rohit.

Everything was just like every other year. There was good music, people enjoying with their 'dates', lights, pictures and all sorts of rich-people-things but everything vanished for a moment.
Yes it was Aneri who came in.
Everyone was (let me spell it) S P E L L B O U N D   to find Aneri wearing a LBD, with black shoes and a clutch in her hand. Her hair was perfect and her eyes, they were, Beautiful.
Rohit almost collapsed seeing Aneri in such an avtar. (form)

After 'stargazing' at Aneri for a few minutes the party got back to the way it was and slowly Rohit started walking towards Aneri.
'So when everybody is having beer, you're having Coke?'
'Again! Rohit please listen i dont like.."
'Me? I know you don't like me but See i like you.'
'Ya as if whatever. i have to go'
'No wait let me finish. The day you entered the class, i just saw something in you. You're unlike everyone here Aneri. You're different. You are one of those people who want to be beautiful, not Hot. You're strong Aneri, in spite of facing these jerks who ignore you everyday to make you feel really bad about yourself you're always ready to face another day. I just don't know Aneri.'
'Please Rohit you're insane and Drunk.'
'I love you. I will be straight here. I won't wait long and prepare a huge proposal or something. i'll just tell you that, i mean, i really love you.'
'You're 14 Rohit, you can't love anyone so much at this age so there's no point of..'
'Of what? See Aneri i know you'll ignore me but tell me will you not think about it? About me? for even once?'
Aneri stared at Rohit. *direct eye contact*
Rohit started getting closer to Aneri, grabbed her gently by her neck and almost kissed her when
'So that's the reason! She's the reason.'
Chitra exclaimed.
Aneri got really uncomfortable and pushed Rohit and tried to get away but Rohit held her by her hand, very tightly.
