Gabriella Montez got ready for her first day of classes at New Mexico University. Her first weekend was nuts: parties, parties, boys, and more parties. She was surprised at how much she enjoyed herself. She had Taylor Mckessie and Sharpay Eavns to thank. Since high school ended three months ago, she made amends with Sharpay. It was surprisingly easy once they realized they had more in common than hating each other. They all decided to dorm together.
Taylor was majoring in psychology, while Sharpay was a theatre major. Gabriella decided to me undeclared. She had changed so much that everything she thought she had wanted, was a distant memory now, such as ex-boyfriends.
Gabriella had been dating Jason Cross for nearly two years. It had been amazing at first but he began taking advantage of her. Over the summer he began to change back to the way he used to be and Gabriella loved him more. She just worried how college would affect their relationship. Gabriella always found herself considering whether she should end things with him before they got to a bad point again. College is a new experience, she often thought to herself, so why be tied down by bad memories. She wasn't looking for a new boyfriend but she did want to be treated better, something Jason was hot and cold about.
It was 11:25 am, when Taylor came busting into the room with a smile on her face. "Gabriella, I just met the cutest guy in my sociology class."
Gabriella turned around from her draw and smiled. "Name and description, please."
"His name is Chad. He's a freshman, too. He has the most adorable, bushy hair!" Taylor exclaimed. "He walked me here. I hope he ends up asking me out. Wishful thinking!"
"Good luck, girly!" Gabriella said. She felt a pang of jealousy. She wanted to be excited about meeting guys as well. She wanted the genuine college experience and she was sure Jason was getting that at Arizona State University.
Taylor plopped down on her bed and sighed. "I love this school already."
Gabriella smiled and checked her phone. She had a few texts but none from Jason. She rolled her eyes.
