I've started writing a new story, University, friends and heartbreak. Gabriella is starting university and making a new start with her life. She wants to be finally happy and have friends. But things never go as smoothly as one wishes. How will she cope with trying to start a new life?

It starts of with this prologue/introduction to Gabriella's life at the beginning of the story. It's sort of a diary entry and therefore written from Gabriella's point of view. The rest of the story, however, will be in the third person pov.

I hope you all enjoy this story. Please let me know what you think.

You know that feeling, when you feel as if nothing can go wrong? Well I don't. In my life there's always something that's not going the way I want it to go. Everything I planned always turns out differently. I always seem to have some sort of problem. And I really have no one to talk to about this. Me and my parents? Well, I don't know my father. Me and my mother? We fight. Me and my brother? We fight. Me and my friends? Well, to be honest, I don't have any real friends. I have been moving from one place to another my whole life. In the eighteen years that I've lived, I've moved to 11 different places. I just had no time to make friends. Besides, I don't want to make friends. I'll just have to move again, leaving everyone that I started to care for. I'm not going to put myself through something like that over and over again. There's only one thing in life that I enjoy doing. Reading. You see, books don't judge me. With everything else I do, there is always someone there telling me how I should or should not do it, what I am doing wrong, that I'm not allowed to do something or anything else that comes to their mind. So reading it is. I like just to follow the lives of the characters in books. They are the only 'people' in my life that don't judge me and don't tell me what to do. Now, I know that sounds a bit pathetic, but it's true. That's my life, moving around and reading books.

Right now I'm in San Francisco. I moved here because this is where I'll be going to university. I'll be living in this city for the next few years, no moving around anymore. So, in theory I could start making friends here and build up my life in this city. However, I don't know how. In high school I just stayed to myself. No friends. No contacts with other people. Just me in my own little world, trying to stay away from the people around me. Trying to avoid heartbreak.. So what I'm going to do is just concentrate on studying. That's the only thing I've always been good at. When all of my classmates were in the cafeteria eating their lunch, I was sitting all alone in the library studying. I could have done anything. Study medicine, mathematics, physics, whatever I wanted to. I got straight A's in all my classes. I decided to go for history. I want to be a history teacher someday. Or maybe I want to be a writer. I haven't really decided yet.

Today is my first day at the university. And I'm so scared. I'm scared of meeting all these new people. It's not as if they would be interested in me anyways, but still… I have to be in the same classes as them every day for the next few years. Sit next to them, in the same room, listening to the same teacher. I just wish I knew how to make friends. At times like these I hate my mother for making us move around so much. I know it's not really her fault, it's the company she works for that's making us move so much. I asked her multiple times to just switch jobs, so that we could stay somewhere. She says she cannot do that because we need the money. I tend to disagree with her on that, she could make money in some other job. She's a smart woman, finished university, worked at some impressive companies, she's really successful. I believe she could easily find another job that pays just as much, maybe even more. It would have spared me a lot of pain and difficulties. Anyways, it's not important anymore. I now moved to San Francisco and I started living in a dorm room. I won't have to move around because of her job anymore. It's time to start university.
