Jen the scene kid and Scott the Jock were a part of a 6 person group of friends. Their one-on-one chemistry in the friendship was nonexistent until Scott picked up "them digits". Several months later the other 4 friends were utterly shocked when Jen and Scott started dating since they never talked to each other in person. They concluded that they must have been having a secret textual relationship.
