Hi! A lot of people had questions about why they haven't thought about if its them but there just shy, since they only have been talking for a few days.

"So how is the computer girl?" Chad asked Troy as they were shooting hoops at his house.

"Fine. I don't know her that well." Troy said shooting a basket.

"You should meet her." Chad panted.

"I've only known her for a few days. I'm not going to move too fast."

"Why not?" Chad asked.

"Because, I'll probably scare her or something. Girls are weird like that." Troy laughed.

"That's true." Chad laughed as well.

"What are you doing, Chad?" Tiffany stormed out of the house into the yard.

"Playing basketball with Troy." Chad said in a duh kind of way.

"You're always hanging out with Troy. Would you mind hanging out with me once in a while?"

Troy scoffed. "Well, uh, I better go then."

"Okay bye, dude." Chad said disappointed. Tiffany always ruins everything.

"Can you help me with my exams, Gabriella?" Rachael asked her.

"I can't. I'm on the computer right now." Gabriella said.

"About that. Why do you seem to always be on the computer?"

"No reason. Checking my mail." She smiled.

"Sure. Hey, I was wondering if you could go get me some coffee in the lobby?" Rachael asked her.

"Uuuggghhhh! You always make me do that!" Gabriella said frustrated.

"I know, but I have my exams to study for. You already took yours." Rachael made a puppy dog face.'

"Okay, okay, okay." Gabriella got up from her computer desk and walked out of the door. Rachael made sure she was gone, and then got up to look at what she's been doing on that computer. It showed her replying to an e-mail from who could this be?" Rachael said to herself. She felt bad that she was looking at Gabriella's e-mail but she wasn't telling her anything.

"What are you looking at?" Gabriella walked in the room with two cups of coffee.

"Oh, um." Rachael shot back from the computer.

"Were you looking at my e-mails?"

"No. Maybe. Ok, yes. But only because you haven't been telling why you're always so hooked on the computer. So, who is this?" Rachael said pointing to the e-mail address of whom she was sending it to.

Gabriella set the coffee down. "It's that guy I met. Remember? He seems really nice and sweet."

"What about Jerry?" Rachael asked. "Your really over him?"

"No. I still miss him and cry sometimes. But this Troy seems really nice."

"Gabriella, your so lucky. Guys seem to come so easy to you."

"I'm just outgoing and friendly too. You should try one of these dating sites."

"Maybe. But then, why did he say your name as Gabrielle? Did you just misspell it?"

"No. Would if he's really a creep. Just to make sure, I'm not in danger. I know it's not a big difference from Gabriella but it's not exactly the same." Gabriella said. Just then, her computer made a noise. She's received an IM from tb1018. They both looked at the computer.

"It's him." Gabriella said, looking at Rachael in a way that meant, 'get out.'

"Oh, okay. Right." Rachael went back to her studying.

tb1018: Are you there?

gabi88: Yeah. Hey, what's up?

tb1018: Nothing. You?

gabi88: I've been on the computer waiting for you to sign on. Isn't that pathetic?

tb1018: No, I don't blame you, actually! JK

gabi88: Haha! Very funny.

tb1018: LOL

gabi88: Troy, I just want to say that you've been really great to talk to through this whole breakup with my ex-boyfriend.

tb1018: No problem. Whenever you need to talk, I'm here.

gabi88: Cool. So you didn't answer the question.

tb1018: What question?

gabi88: Have you ever been in love? And... you have to answer it because I did.

tb1018: Okay. I have been once. Not recently, though.

gabi88: Was she nice?

tb1018: Yeah. She was so perfect. Just everything about her.

gabi88: She sounds pretty special.

tb1018: She was, but I don't want to get carried away. What about your first love?

gabi88: Oh, that was so long ago. He just showed me so much more to life, you know. Like he brought out this whole other person inside of me. I miss him.

tb1018: Why, what happened?

gabi88: He moved to a different town. I cried for days, but it's over with. I want to start over.

tb1018: Yeah. Start over...

The next weeks trailed on. They would talk to each other, go to school, eat, and sleep. Each day, they would learn more about each other. Gabriella thought it was about time to tell him her real name. It was Sunday, and rainy. You couldn't really do anything much outside, so they stayed in. Gabriella received an e-mail from Troy.

Hey Gabrielle,

It may be too soon for you, but if it's not, I would really like to meet you. We live pretty close so it wouldn't be that hard. You could e-mail me back. I was thinking we could go to Chez Pennise, that French restaurant on 50th. It would be great to finally meet you.

Love, Troy

Gabriella was nervous. Should she meet him? Would it be awkward? Would they have anything to even talk about? She thought about it. Maybe it's too soon. Maybe not. She hit the reply button.

Hi

Um, I think it would be a great idea to meet. Chez Pennise sounds like a great choice. How about tomorrow night, if you're not busy, at 6:30? Please e-mail me back. Thanks!

-Gabrielle

For the next few hours, she was picking out something to wear, tomorrow. When you meet someone new, you have to make a first impression. That's the most important thing. She really wanted to look nice and look attractive. Suddenly her computer made a noise. She looked at the icon below, which meant she had a new e-mail.

Hey,

That sounds great. See you then!

Troy

Gabriella was really excited. She couldn't wait. I wonder what he looked likes? She thought. Although she was happy, she was extremely nervous. Would if he preferred blondes? Why would he do that? She kept asking herself so many questions, her mind was overflowing with them.

Gabriella went to bed waiting for tomorrow...

Thanks for the reviews! I got a lot last chapter and I was so happy! Please keep reviewing!
