Elena POV
I live in a large white house with a gorgeous wrap-around porch in Mystic Falls, Virginia. I live there with my mom, dad, brother, twin sister and aunt. I'm 18 years old and in my senior year at Mystic Falls High School.
Mystic Falls was founded by eight families, who are now known as well… the Founding Families. Our families are the richest in town, and all the kids grow up together. For example, I'm from one of the founding families, the Gilberts, and I'm friends with at least one person from each founding family.
Bonnie Bennett, Caroline Forbes and Rebekah Mikaelson are my best friends. They each come from one of the founding families. Some of my other, close friends are Stefan and Damon Salvatore, Matt Donavan, Meredith Fell and Tyler Lockwood.
Tyler comes from the most powerful family in town. His dad's the mayor and his mom's in charge of all the Founding Family events, like the Founder's Ball or the Miss Mystic Falls Pageant. Caroline's mom is the chief of police, her dad left when Care was 4. Giuseppe Salvatore is our town's judge. Mrs. Salvatore died when she gave birth to Stefan.
The Bennetts are scientists and they've come up with a lot of cures for diseases. Bonnie's grandma is raising her though, because Abby Bennett took off with Mr. Forbes, and Bonnie's dad doesn't even know Bon exists. Matt's parents are lawyers, and it's always really weird to go over to his house because his parents will complain about clients a lot. The Fells are also lawyers, and have a lot of fights with the Donavans because of it.
This brings us to the last two families. The Mikaelsons owned a huge franchise, like Walmart sized. It was for a department store that had taken root in many different places all across the country. One of them was right here in Mystic Falls, and they decided to manage this one personally, as Mikael and Esther grew up here. Finally, there's my family. My parents are doctors. They gave birth to three children first my sister Katherine and I, and then my brother, Jeremy. We live right beside the Mikaelsons, and of all my friends, Bekah's probably my best.
Bekah has five brothers, and no sisters. Finn is the oldest, and he's 24. Then there's Elijah. Elijah's 20. He's a really great friend to me, and I used to have a major crush on him and his brother Klaus. Klaus is super over-protective of anyone he considers family, which includes me. It's strange because he's only 19, but whatever. Bekah and her twin Kol are 18, like me. Bekah's a sweetheart, and Kol's the exact opposite, except towards me. Finally there's innocent little Henrik. Henrik is 10 years old, and a complete angel. Everyone loves him.
Caroline, Bonnie, Tyler and Meredith have no siblings, but Matt has a sister named Vicki, and Stefan and Damon obviously have each other. We've all been friends since birth, and ever since I turned 15, Stefan, Damon, Klaus, Kol and Elijah have been fighting over one thing, me.
I dated Stefan for a year until we both realized that we thought of each other as siblings, and Damon for 6 months before I realized that I didn't like him, though he still likes me… I don't know which one, but I know that I like either Klaus, Kol or Elijah. So, I came up with a game to help.
I have 3 months to get to know each of the boys. We'll go on dates, talk, kiss etc. And at the end of the three months I decide which one I like. All I know is that this is not going to be easy.
