The Phone Call
Troy dialed the all too familiar phone number and heard a ring. He hung up.
"Get it over with Troy!" he said to himself.
He took a deep breath a dialed it again.
Gabriella was reading and then was startled by the loud ring. She hesitated, but got the phone. All of a sudden, it stopped. A minute passed and it rung again. She looked at the caller id and saw that it was Troy. Her hands were shaking when she answered it.
"H-hell-lo?" Gabriella answered nervously.
"I-uh hope I didn't call at a bad time," Troy said as casually as he could.
"N-no. Not at all. I was just catching up on my reading."
"Oh."
"Yeah," she said awkwardly.
"I had a great time last night."
"Yeah, me too."
"Maybe we could do it again this Friday night?"
"I'd love to."
"Wonderful."
There was an awkward silence.
"Listen Gab, about what happened…"
"No, it's alright. You went on with you dreams and I went on with mine. It went all good. Understandable. I was just being stupid."
"You had every right to be mad at me. I shouldn't have expected you to drop Harvard just to be with me. I was being selfish. And with the casual long-distance dating, I knew you didn't like it. I was too caught up in my career. I was such a jerk. I don't know how you even could forgive me."
"When I came to visit you from Harvard and I saw you kiss that girl, it really hurt. I knew we were only casually dating, but I couldn't do it anymore. I couldn't deal with knowing you were going out with others girls other than me. As for me going to Harvard, you realized you were being unfair, so we struck a deal. Long-distance relationships never work, so when I had a chance to get away to visit you, we would go on dates."
"But Gabriella, I knew it wasn't working for you. It wasn't for me either. We should of made the long-distance relationship work."
She sighed. "Troy, that was all in the past. I don't want to talk about it anymore. It hurts too much. Can we just forget about it and start over?"
"Okay. On a lighter note, I know Chad and Taylor planned everything."
"Me too. I could see it written all over her faced. The date wreaked Chad and Taylor."
Troy chuckled. "Yeah…"
"Listen, Troy, I have to go."
"Okay. Remember Friday. Does seven work?"
"Perfect. Bye."
"Bye."
They hung up.
Troy took a deep breath.
Gabriella took a deep breath.
Troy said, "That went..."
"well," Gabriella finished.
So, what did you guys think about this one?
