Once upon a time, in a very small town far far way, there lived a boy and a girl, happily in different shelters.
The boy and the girl had known each other for a couple of years, since they had shared the same acquaintances.
However, the truth behind the relationship was that both of them were not comfortable being with each other, but no one ever knew about it.
Being a nice person that boy was, he always smiled politely and showered the girl with friendly greets whenever they met, although deep inside, he knew it did not mean much to him if he did not do that.
At first the girl would do the same thing to the boy, she smiled and greet back. And that practice repeated itself from day to day.
After months had passed she found it disturbing to say hi to someone she did not like to be with, and she decided to act differently the next time she met him.
On the next day, the boy, as polite as always, greeted the girl with his sweetest smile. Somehow this time, the girl had mustered her courage to not even give a flicker of recognition to his presence when their eyes met. And she looked away.
Shocked by the action, the boy got home and started to questioned himself of what he had done wrong and the thoughts of it ruined his day.
On the next day, they bumped to each other again but this time the boy had to struggle to get an eye contact with her, which ended up with failure. He got home and the thought ruined him again, thinking what he had done wrong that she had to treat him that way.
On the next day, they met again but this time the boy did not even bother to look at her face, her figure or even her shadow. They just passed each other pretending they had never known each other, ever. With this kind of act shown by the boy, the girl felt so relieved. She believed that now the boy understood it. Being insignificant to her, it never necessary for him to keep putting his masked on and acted all nice to her. It never really mattered.
Now both of them felt much comfortable living their life as normal teenagers, being apart form each other. And now both of them, too, did not have to pretend to be nice for the sake of social cue. Moreover, now, they could live happily ever after.
The end.
