Chapter 2
Gabriella walked into her room at Stanford University. Everything was set up just the way she wanted it.
"One of the benefits of being picked early...you get first choice in rooms." She thought. She took out her phone and dialed Troy's number. She knew he'd be getting settled into his dorm room by now.
"Hey, pretty girl." Troy said.
"Hey, Wildcat. How's Berkeley?" Gabriella asked.
"Pretty good. I miss you, though." Troy replied.
"I miss you. 32.7 miles is too far." she replied.
"I agree. How's Stanford?" Troy asked.
"Ok. My schedule's packed." she replied.
"Mine, too. I don't end until 3 pm." Troy replied.
"Me, too. We can call each other at lunch." she replied.
"Sure. Basketball practice doesn't start until 4." Troy replied.
"Awesome! Hey, I have to go. I love you." she replied.
"I love you, too. Talk to you later." Troy replied.
Gabriella hung up just as her roommate, Emily, walked into the room.
"Who were you talking to?" Emily asked.
"My boyfriend, Troy. He's at Berkeley." Gabriella replied.
"Is that the boy with you in the picture?" Emily asked.
"Yeah. He's the best boyfriend ever." Gabriella replied.
"He's never been a jerk to you?" Emily asked.
"Well, a couple of times, but we made up pretty quickly." Gabriella replied.
The two roommates headed over to the dining hall to get some dinner. It was Italian night, so Gabriella got a salad and some lasagna. Emily got fettuccine alfredo. After dinner, they went to their dorm room and Gabriella wrote in her diary.
"August 20, 2008. Talked with Troy today. He seems to be doing fine over at Berkeley. Stanford's fine. I miss Troy so much. The 32.7 miles between us seem to stretch on forever. I'll call him again tomorrow.
