The Start Of Something New
Chapter 1
"I'm Troy."
"Gabriella."
Minutes later.
"So do you come here often?" asked Troy.
"Really?" asked Gabriella.
"Nah," answered Troy.
"I'm going outside to watch the fireworks," answered Gabriella. "Wanna come?"
"Sure," answered Troy.
They grabbed a mug of hot chocolate each and headed out a side door of the lounge.
"So are you from nearby?" asked Gabriella.
"No Mexico," answered Troy. "Graduate in May."
"Oh," answered Gabriella. "Where from?"
"U of A," answered Troy.
"Oh I've a junior at Stanford," answered Gabriella.
"What are you studying?" asked Troy.
"Oh um Music and Theatre," answered Gabriella. "You?"
"Mechanics and business," answered Troy.
They spent the rest of the night chatting and laughing, until the countdown then they shared a kiss and went to find parents.
The next day they were both heading home, they exchanged numbers, addresses and emails and said their goodbyes.
3 years later.
Troy had successfully set up Bolton's Auto Shop in sunny Los Angles. Where Gabriella was also now in residence and working at A Noise Within – a theatre in LA, as rehearsal pianist. They had kept in touch, the occasional phone call, text and email but work and life got in the way and it was now a case of a monthly text or birthday, Christmas or new year text.
Until Gabriella took her car into the shop and they started to hang out more regularly. Then Gabriella's brother came into town and they found out they had more in common then they thought. Troy and Gabriella's brother Braydon were best friends. Her brother was slightly over protective and moved in with her. That was when Troy and Gabriella knew that them meeting up was going to difficult, especially since they realized they leaning towards a relationship instead of a friendship. A relationship three years in the making.
