"Hey Gabby!"
Gabriella Montez turned aruond to see her boyfriend bouncing towards her.
"Hey Troy."
Troy leaned against the locker next to his girlfriend's.
"You're still coming over, right?" Gabby asked, throwing her books into her bag.
"Yeah, ready?" Troy asked her.
"So I found this black leather covered book in my hide out least night, and I thought that we could read it," Gabriella suggested as they walked out of the school.
Gabby had a no-so-secret hide-out that she didn't let anyone go in except her and the people she gave permission each time.
"Is little Gabby scared?" Troy teased.
"Troy!" she said giving him a playful punch on the shoulder.
Troy gave her the look.
"Fine, maybe just a little," she admitted.
Troy laughed, and put his arm around his girlfriend's waist.
As Gabriella went to find the book, Troy sat on the creaking floor of Gabs' hide-out.
Troy looked at the black thing in front of him after Gabriella had dropped the book in front of him, then she sat beside him.
They sat there for a while, until Troy suggested, "Why don't you start, just the first chapter."
Gabriella took a deep breath, then picked up the book and opened the un-titled book.
"Sabrina Matholoun sat crossed-legged on top of her bed with a leather book in her hands. She opened the book, and started to read quietly. Half an hour of reading, Sabrina looked out the window, but everything had---" Gabriella slowly began to read from the book.
"Woah, what's going on!" Troy shouted, grabbing his girlfriend's hand as they're surroundings began to spin and change.
"I don't know!" Gabriella shouted back, clutching on to the black covered book.
"Oof."
Both teenagers were sitting on grass confused.
Beside them were a few things, a backpack, the black book, and a map.
"Hi, I'm Brian Tresgosty."
Both of them looked up at the teenager in front of them.
"Hi."
"Where are you from?" he asked.
"We're not from here, that's for sure," Troy mumbled.
Gabriella nudged him.
Brian laughed, "Let me guess, you were sitting there reading a book, then you ended up here."
Troy and Gabriella both looked up, "How do you know?"
"You're not the first set of people."
"I see."
"Well I know the way out," Brian shrugged.
"You do? Great!...Which way?" Troy said a little too excited.
"It's quite a long way, we'll start tomorrow. You can stay over there. It's where people like you guys are allowed to stay," Brian said pointing to a building.
"Okay, thanks."
"I'll see you tomorrow morning by the water fountain over there," Brian said gesturing to a water fountain down the pathway.
"Bye," the duo said.
"Wait, where are we?" Troy said before they started to walk off in different directions.
"Carolina," Brian said giving them a smile, then walking off.
"Why are we in Carolina?" Troy said to Gabriella after the teenage boy had told them where they were.
Troy shrugged, and turned around to walk with his girlfriend.
"This place is weird," Gabriella said looking around.
"Ya think?" Troy said sarcasticly.
"Yeah, I think," Gabriella said rolling her eyes.
"Here we are," Troy said opening the door.
"Hi, welcome to Fairview. I'm Mary Jane. Do you want a room to stay in?" a lady said.
"Yeah."
"We only have one room left, so here's the key. May you fill out this form?" Mary Jane said handing them a key, and a clip board with a form attached to it.
One room, oh well. We have bigger things to worry about.
After they had filled out the form, they walked around the building.
"Hey, isn't that Natasha Fields?" Gabriella whispered, pointing to a girl their age sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, who had gone missing two months ago.
Troy looked at the girl, "Yeah, and isn't that Curt Creech?"
"Oh my god, these are the people who have gone missing."
"Fairview started up ten years ago when random people started to arrive at Carolina, " Troy said.
"Huh?"
"Look at this," Troy said holding a brochure.
"People claimed that they had started to read a un-titled book, then found themselves here in Carolina," Gabriella read.
"Okay, weird."
"If this happened ten years ago, aren't there at least a million of people from different countries here?" Gabriella said.
Troy shrugged, "I guess."
"This is totally chaotic."
"Yeah, I'm gonna sleep on all this and hope we'll wake up tomorrow back up in your hide-out," Troy said with a yawn.
Gabriella laughed, but followed.
When they got to their room, they found two boxes, a boy box, and a girl box. The boxes were filled with clothes, a toothbrush and tooth paste, a wash cloth, and femine products in Gabriella's box.
Both of them changed into one of the pajamas given and each got onto the king-sized bed akwardly.
While Troy fell right asleep, Gabriella layed there staring at the ceiling.
She reached into the backpack, and took the black book out, turning on her lamp too.
---but everything had changed. She was in a different place, definetly not on her bed. A boy stood in front of her.
"Hi, I'm Sean."
"Sabrina."
They two talked and Sabrina found out that she was in Carolina.
'Talk about weird,' she thought.
Sean offered to help, and Sabrina was delighted.
Gabriella looked up from the book, Sabrina was like her and Troy. Arriving at a place that she knew wasn't where she had been. She let out a sigh and continued to read the book.
By the time she had finished the first chapter, which had been twenty pages of a small font, Gabby had already fallen asleep waiting for tomorrow to come.
