It was during his school days.He was in 11th grade.Though he was new to school,with his cricketing talent he managed to get a place in school cricket team and in no time he was selected as the vise-captain.Rahul's school team appeared to be the state champions and hence qualified for the regional level inter school cricket tournament which was to be held at Modern High School,Bangalore.Almost all the school team which participated in this tournament were best amongst their state and also were given immense coaching.But Rahul's school team lacked any coaching and also the team was bit inexperienced while compared to other teams.So hopes were less from this team.Almost every other match they played,faced defeat with a huge margin.But Rahul's individual performance showed a lot improvement.With his brilliant bating performance he won the hearts of many spectators.And among these spectators was a group of girls from the hosting school.Almost all the girls in the group were charming and good looking.Their looks can catch the eyes of any player out there.And amongst that group there was a girl with cute smile and the most good looking amongst the group.She was present for every match Rahul's team played.She passed smiles to Rahul and he would just wonder if it's reality.But he could never gather courage to speak to her.He always suffered from the so called starting problem.Matches by matches,Rahul's team just faced defeat from the opposition and finally they couldn't qualify for the quarter finals.So they had to pack their bags.It was the last day of the tour.Rahul's eye was searching for that angel but she was no where.Then Rahul realized how much he liked her and was dumb enough not to make the first move.There he was in the bus way back to home.

So that was Rahul's first crush of life.And lying on the bed thinking about the beautiful girl about whom he knew nothing brought a kind of smile over his face.

'Why don't I search for that girl in Orkut' Rahul thought for a moment and there he was infront of his lap-top connected to orkut busy searching for Modern High School Bangalore community.There it is with 1000 plus members.But how to search for the girl about whom he knew nothing.Still Rahul thought to give it a try.He created a new thread in the forum in which he wrote about himself and the regional cricket match held in that school in 2003.

Few days passed.But Rahul did not find even a single response to his thread.He felt helpless.His try didn't yield him any result.So he killed all his hopes of getting in touch with his first crush.

One Sunday morning when he logged into his orkut account he was surprised to see reply to his thread in that school's community.Hopes started building within himself because the reply was from a girl with name Preethi.He slowly read the reply.

'Hi Rahul...So in search of your dream girl.Well all the best'

Rahul checked out her profile.She was at present in her 12th grade in that school.And this meant that it wasn't the same girl he was searching for.But still Rahul felt like sending a friend request to her and knowing her.Somewhere in him,there was a hope that through this girl he could find his destination.And he then sent a scrap to her. 'Hi Preethi...Thanks for the wish'
For his surprise she was online the same time and she replied him back.Thus with few scrap exchanges they came to know about a lot to each other.
Everyday evening they used be online the same time and used to chat for long.Thus they felt a strong friendship building in between them.Their this online chatting through scraps continued for a month and one evening they were chatting as usual.But this day there was something different.

Rahul: Hi dear.how you?
Preethi: Am fine my dear.So how was the day?
Rahul: Day was as usual.Fed up with studies actually!!!
Preethi: Well studies are always boring na....
Rahul: Dear, I wanna tell you something
Preethi: Ya tell me
Rahul: My exams gonna kick start in a week and my internet connection gonna expire today.So next i can be online is after my exams.Most probably after a month or so.
Preethi: Oh no...I gonna miss you a lot
Rahul: I will miss you too a lot dear.But ya,Though we won't be in touch for a month or so,never ever forget this orkut friend of yours.
Preethi: Well..I can't say that for sure.If we are not in touch then I may forget you..sorry I can't help it
Rahul: Oh common dear.Please understand baby.You know my problem.Please don't do it.
Preethi: Then there must be some way we can be in touch.Can't you think of any... you dumbo.
Rahul: You mean to say...I mean do you expect me to ask you for your contact number ?
Preethi: What else can be other alternative my stupid idiotic friend.Scrap down your contact number.I will ring you tonight.
Rahul: 09895198951
Preethi: Okies.... will call you up tonight
Rahul: Thanks dear...Gotta go..Has to study a lot...Bye take care
Preethi: Study well.Take care :)

That night as promised Preethi called him.Thus for the first time they heard each others voice.Indeed it was special for both of them.And thus there began a new episode in their life.
Preethi rang Rahul everyday morning,evening infact whenever she managed to get time.She liked speaking to Rahul all the time.Rahul too did.But he was little worried about this daily long conversation.After all it was an s.t.d call.Rahul tried explaining her the matter.But she never cared for any consequences.She just knew that she liked talking to Rahul and bothered nothing else.

Once when Rahul tried explaining her about the real consequence she just shouted at him saying,

'It's my cell phone,Am calling you,Am gonna pay the bill and face all the consequence,so you need not worry about anything..Or Is it you don't like speaking to me? '
