Hey guys…this is my first story so I hope you like it. Part of the events in this story came from a dream that I had and I just went with it.

Chapter 1 - Mr. Brown Eyes

It was an ordinary day for Gabriella. She was running errands for her boss at her job she had on-campus at NYU. Gabriella was going to college to be a science teacher. She found this job working in an office just so she could have a little extra spending money. It wasn't like she needed the money because her mom gave her everything she could ever want, but working this job allowed her to do something different for once and she enjoyed it very much. Gabriella had just finished the errands for her boss and was walking back to the office. As she was walking through the student union, she was looking at all the faces, seeing if she recognized anyone. As she looked around, her eyes connected with the most gorgeous, brown eyes she had ever seen. She just couldn't look away, and neither could he. He finally got up and came to talk to her. Gabriella was so nervous; she finally looked away and started fidgeting with her hands.

"Hi," he said.

"Hi," Gabriella replied.

"My name's David. What's yours?"

"Gabriella, but my friends call me Gabi."

"Well, Gabi, I couldn't help but notice you as you walked through. You have the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes."

"Thanks. So I haven't seen you around here before. Are you new to the campus?"

"No, I'm just visiting a friend from my hometown. I came home for the week and wanted to surprise my friend also. He didn't know I was coming home, so I made the 4 hour trip to come surprise him."

"Oh. Well I hope you enjoy your visit. I would love to stay and talk more but unfortunately I have to get back to work. It was nice talking to you."

Gabriella walked off, but hadn't gotten far when she heard him speak to her again.

"What time do you get off of work? Think we could do lunch?"

"I get off of work in about 15 minutes. Lunch would be great. I'll meet you back here."

"Great! See you then."

Gabriella went back to work, but couldn't help but feel that the last 15 minutes were the longest 15 minutes she had ever lived in her life.

Sorry for the first chap being so short. Also, Troy will appear in the next chapter. Please review.
