GABRIELLA'S POV:

"Maria, this place is HUGEEEEEEE!" Camilla, my best friend exclaimed as the three of us -her, Luciana and of course me scanned the giant landscape of University.

"Tell me about it." Luciana Rodriguez, our childhood friend added.

"Lucia cariña, viene aquí, vamos a encontrar tu dormitorio." Her mom called upon her as she and her husband stood directly under the sun.

{SPANISH TO ENGLISH TRANSLATION: "Lucia darling, come here, let's find your dorm."}

"Está bien mamá." She answered her mother before turning back to us. "See you guys later!" She gave us her innocent smile then went to meet her parents.

"There is a ninety percent chance that the three of us can be in the same dorm, si Abuelo?" Camilla asked as she pouted making both my grandparents chuckle.

"It's the opposite me ha. In case if you all don't get a room, at least the three of you can still meet up from time to time. Y seguro que ustedes se encontrarán con gente nueva." He embraced Camilla and landed a kiss on her forehead as she sighed in dismay.

{TRANSLATION: And for sure you guys will meet new people.}

"You see that Abuelo, Realmente no quiero eso. {I really don't want that.} I'm scared of our friendship breaking due to long distance."

"Nothing like that will ever happen. If you and Gaby could handle it when she was in America and you were back home, then I'm sure the three of you can also handle this. It'll be like a piece of enchilada for you guys" My mom said as she came to us.

"You're right Tia." Camilla smiled.

"You guys will really love Cambridge. It's an amazing school." My mother's husband wrapped his arm around my mom's waist as he smiled at both me and Camilla.

I couldn't help but furiously roll my eyes at their lovey dovey act. "Excuse me while I go throw up." I smiled sarcastically at the two of them before aiming to walk away but mi Abuela called me back.

"¿Quieres ir ya? Pero ni siquiera me has dado un abrazo." {"You want to go already? But you haven't even given me a hug."} She frowned and I squinted my eyesight just to realize she was on the fucking verge of crying. ¡Muy bien! I really didn't feel like dealing with any emotional moment today.

After attending to my dramatic grandparents, I left along with my seven year old sister and her parents while Camilla went along with Abuela and Abuelo to find her own dorm.

My mind flashed back to how Abuela and Abuelo hugged me so tightly like their plan was to make me explode. They were so emotional.

"You guys do know that in three months I'll be to Mehico right? So there's no need for the crying." I rolled my eyes while heaving a sigh as they strangled my entire body.
