I came into my dorm and my roommate was sitting there. "Hey, Troy, you got a letter from Kelsi Neilson. I promise I didn't read it!" I responded, "Thanks, man. Wow, Kelsi? I haven't seen her for a solid year." I grabbed the letter and sat down on my bed. I opened it slowly. "I wonder what she wants from me. She hasn't seen me in forever." I read the words written on the perfectly neat page and my mouth dropped. My roommate started to laugh. "Dude, why do you look like Gabriella just proposed to you or something?" Still shocked, I said, "Dude, Kelsi is in love with me! She wants me to visit her in New York City, at Julliard. She said she's always loved me and that she wants to see me again because she misses me. She said I could even bring Gabriella. Why does she want to see me that bad?" My roommate said with a serious face, "Troy, man, summer is in a week. Why don't you go visit her? You need to straighten this out." "Dude, I don't like Kelsi. I like Gabriella. I've always loved Gabriella! Now, I know I need to go see her. If she thinks that she likes me, then this needs to get straightened out. I'll write her back, and Gabriella and I will fly there. I'm not telling Gabriella about this, though. She will just be jealous." I sat down at my desk, grabbed a piece of paper and a pencil, and began to write.
Dear Kelsi,
It's nice to hear from you! How are things going at Julliard? Things are going great here. Gabriella and I are still going strong. It's been great! I just wanted to straighten things out with you, so I am going to Julliard next week, after my exams are over. I am going to bring Gabriella, because I am sure she would want to see you. Let me know how you feel about these plans. You have my number. Just call me. Gabriella and I will try to get plane tickets because my truck will not make it all the way to New York. I will let you know if plans change.
Troy.
I sealed the envelope and licked it. I opened the door to go mail it, and Gabriella was there. I was so shocked that I gasped. "Surprise!" She gave me a hug. "Gabriella, you really know how to scare me! Thanks for coming!" She looked at the letter in my hand. "Troy, what is this? Are you snail-mailing people? I didn't know you did this. And, to Kelsi?" I nodded. "I walked into my room and she wrote me a letter. She wants us to come visit her. So, we are going to visit her next week! Isn't that exciting?" Gabriella looked depressed for a second. "Troy, next week? Next week I am going to help my mom move. Is there anyway that we could move the vacation? I really want to see Kelsi." I nodded. "Maybe, where is your mom moving to?" "She is moving to Phildelphia, so I am going to fly there and help." I smiled. "Why don't we both help her for a week, and then we could borrow her car for the weekend and see Kelsi?" Gabriella kissed me. "Troy, since when did you become a genius?" I smiled. "I've been that way for quite a while now. So, let's finish school, and then we can have a nice break for a week and a half."
