"Ravi my answer is Yes... and No.",said Pooja thinking about Teju who had suggested that answer to her to see if Ravi's and her mind was on the same level of understanding.

Then Pooja said,"Ravi if you could.. you know tell me why I answered like that and then if your answer is what I am thinking then I am all yours."

Agent Scar thought,"What is all this, from where do these girls get all those weird ideas."

Then he started thinking why Pooja said such an answer and analyzing her character and

That was the answer she had in her mind and on hearing it from Ravi she was totally blown away by him. She thought she should have some similarities with him and it looked it they were going to share a lot more in common than she expected. Pooja just couldn't say anything further she just blushed and smiled Ravi understood what she was trying to say but still said,"So Pooja say those three magical words,I want to hear them through your sweet voice."

Pooja was too shy to say them in front of him so she turned back still blushing she managed to say,"Ravi I Love You."

She couldn't believe what she was telling him. The one thing she was advised by many of her well wishers was never to fall for a guy before she left her school but that was what had happened.

Strangely she wasn't feeling bad about it,she was feeling light and elated. She turned back to face Ravi only to see him smiling broadly and his eyes were shining. Then she stretched out her hand and Ravi took it gently into his and shook her hand for the second time.

Agent Scar was really glad that he had succeeded in completing 25% of his assignment. After they shook their hands and before Ravi could say anything. Pooja said,"Ravi there are certain rules that "we" have to follow to make this relationship work out."

"OK, anything for you.",said Ravi.

"The first and foremost rule to our relationship is that it has to be a private one.",said Pooja.

"Why like that?",asked Ravi.

Then Pooja seeing downwards said slowly,"Its just that I made comments on my friends when they would be with their Boyfriends and now if everyone gets to know they will tease me too."

"Ohh OK whatever.",said Ravi and then he continued,"I think it's better if you go and sit in your place for now."

"No its OK lets talk some more time.",said Pooja.

"Pooja someone is coming." "How do you know I don't hear nor see anyone.",protested Pooja.

"If only I could tell you.",said Ravi.

The truth was that Agent Scar's senses were better than a normal human's and he could hear sounds from even a far away distance and now he was hearing footsteps on the staircase near their classroom.

Pooja then said,"Why can't you tell me? Keeping Secrets from now only?"

"No Pooja nothing like that I just felt someone was coming and anyway lets continue our discussion today evening after school at Friend's Park I will be waiting for you near the forest section.",said Ravi and just as Pooja went and sat in her place her "Best Friend" Shreya came into the class and the first thing Shreya said was,"Since when did you start coming to classes early."


Pooja smiled and said,"Since Today."
Then soon the entire class filled up and one after the other teachers came and started distributing the answer scripts and in almost all of them the top three students were Pavan Ravi and Pooja but the order was not fixed they kept rotating.

Then just before lunch came the maths teacher and started giving the answer scripts but this time the Foreign Exchange Student didn't get marks everyone were expecting from him.

He only got 16 out of 25 and the reason was simple.

Even though he got the question the previous night only 4 questions came from the classwork and he attempted them but the other 2 were given from somewhere else and he just left them blank without even attempting.

Generally most of the students in his class scored very good marks in maths as they felt it was easy but somehow Ravi never showed great interest in numbers. Finally at the end of the day their report cards were given and Pavan stood first in the class, Pooja came second, Karthik came third and Ravi got fourth.

Ravi could have got second rank had he got more marks in maths. But he didn't care why would he the fact was that he was succeeding in his mission and that made him happy. After school Ravi and Pooja straight away went home without even glancing at each other. They promised each other that they would meet in Friend's Park at 6 PM. and now both of them were eagerly waiting at what would the other one say on their first official meeting as a couple.
