It was past midnight. It has been raining since evening and the clouds was now on the verge of emptying their sacks. Almost most of the city has fallen into their dreamlands. But somewhere in this dead swampy night, a popping mobile notification suddenly wakes up Neha's mother in a newly renovated apartment of Pushkar Residency.

"Who is disturbing you so late at night?", shrieked Mrs Kumar. "Tell that person to sleep and let others sleep too." Her voice gradually subsided and turned into never ending snores. But amidst all this, Neha wasn't even interested in her mother's sleep breaking that night. She activated the silent mode in her phone and clicked on the whatsapp chat to read the text from Ashish which she was eagerly waiting for the last 5 minutes.
The text read, "Ashish+Neha=Hit/Flop?"

Neha had already overlooked the sarcastic manner. The smile in her face was not going to disappear that night for she had already decided what to reply.
She texted, "Hit😘".

Not much far from Pushkar residency, was the LIC colony. Ashish lived in the first floor of the second block from the main road. His room was illuminated as he recieved Neha's reply. He was sitting straight on his bed now. A similar smile had spread across his face that night. He was going into a relationship for the first time and he was still a kid from his mind. With an immature expression he texted back, "😍... So can we meet tomorrow in our usual hangout place?"
Neha replied, "Sure, but let's keep this relationship of ours a secret for the time being.... Our friendly environment is not so friendly regarding taunts and leg pullings. "
Ashish read the text. He didn't feel himself to venture out for some hidden puns and double meanings in her text. He replied back, "Okk, I love you!"
Neha smirked and replied back, "That was quite early, but ok.... Love you too😘"
Now this was the begining of two amateur lovers who fell in love just for the sake of having a boyfriend or a girlfriend even just after only a months' friendship. Teenage dreams. High school was about to begin, and a romantic partner was quite necessary for show-off, and thus the two began their story.
