Troy's POV
"Troy…I'm moving" My heart sank. "But I thought you said that your mom's job couldn't move you again until you graduated" "Well I guess they lied." She said tears falling down her face. "When are you leaving?" I asked. "Tomorrow" I pulled her into a big hug not knowing this would be the last time I would do that again…
That's how it happened…that's how my life ended. That's when the drinking, sex and smoking started, one week ago. I lost my virginity to someone on the track team, I regret that, I should have found Gabi, figured out where she went, but I didn't. Now I'm left here to rot.
Gabriella's POV
California. Now I live here, California. Los Angeles California. I'm starting at a boarding school tomorrow, that's right, my mom dragged me all the way to California and I'm not even living with her. I wish Troy were here…I wonder if he misses me…
My roommates name is Veronica Stiles. That's what it says on my info packet that they gave me when I checked in. I found my room, Room 237. I put the key in the door and it swung open. Half of the room was covered with pictures of models I think. Her bed had a purple cover and she had a hot pink make up table/desk. My half had a plain wooden desk, and unmade bed and bare walls. I stepped in and saw a fairly tall red head with freckles standing there. "May I help you?" she said in a snotty tone. "I live here" I said putting my bags down. "Oh you must be Gabriella! I couldn't wait to meet you!" she said hugging me. "Then you must be Veronica." "Ugh don't call me that hideous name…call me Ronni" "Okay" I started to make my bed. I had black sheets and a black cover. I hung up several pictures of my friends back in Albuquerque and a few of my band posters.
I put a bunch of pens and pencils in my desk drawer then sat down…all that was left were the clothes. "Are you a lesbian?" I heard Ronni say. "No are you?" "No I'm bisexual" "Oh" I said a little worried now. "Don't worry you're so not my type" she said putting on more mascara. That was a little rude but I didn't care considering she's a girl and I wouldn't want me to be her type. I heard a knock on our door and Ronni opened it. I was putting my clothes into my drawer when I heard a few girls step in the room. "Ronni said you're the new kid right?" The blonde said. "Yeah she said you sounded like a total dork" The brunette said. "No I didn't" Ronni said coming in. "Gabriella this is Jessica…you can call her Jess" she said motioning at the blonde. "And this is Rosie" she said pointing at the brunette. "Nice to meet you" I said.
"Now, since you live with me, you have to hang out with us…now if you're going to be with us, you have to get rid of that bed spread" "Why?" I asked confused. "It's all black duh" Jessica said. "Goth is so lame" Rosie spat. "I'm not goth, I just like black" "Well it still must go, and you have to do you're make up way different…but otherwise…that's it" "Okay?" I said still a little bit confused. "Great choice in clothes" Said Rosie who was picking through my drawers. "What are you doing?" I asked "We have to make sure you don't embarrass us in public" Rosie said pawing at my bras. "But these have to go" she said holding up my underwear. "Thongs and boyshorts only" "why? It's not like anyone will see" "What are you saying? Are you a virgin?" Jessica asked. "Yeah" they laughed. "How sad" Rosie said throwing all of my underwear away.
"Okay let's go girls" Ronni said grabbing her purse. "Where?" I asked. "Duh football field, games today" "I don't like football…I like basketball" I said staying put, She snorted. "You do now…basketball's lame football's hot" Jessica said dragging me to my closet. "Okay now you should wear this because Jesse will love you in these" she said flinging a super short denim skirt and a strapless pink shirt at me. "I'm not wearing these and who's Jesse?" "Oh my god are you kidding?" Ronni said to me. "He's like the sex god of all time" Rosie said. "Rosie! I thought you said you didn't!" Ronni said to her. "I lied" "Was it good?" "Excuse me people who is Jesse?" "He's the football team's running back" "Oh" I said pulling the clothes on "Here these are cute, since you are like a six inches shorter than him." Ronni threw a pair of three inch hot pink heels at me and I strapped them on. "Okay lets go" Ronni said.
I sat in the stands and cheered when everyone else did. I didn't understand football at all, no matter how many times Ronni explained how many points a touchdown is or what each positions job was, I didn't listen. I wanted to see my playmaker scoring baskets.
I met Jesse, he seemed like a great guy, that is if you liked that whole snob 'I'm rich' type, but I didn't.
