Vampire Diaries: Prologue
"Secrets are a dangerous thing, and often lethal. When they are that bad we all try to hide them. Regardless though in the end they always find their way out, sometimes they can be better than we thought, other times they are far worse" -Tyler
"Often times in life there are moments that are completely out of our control. And when that's the case we cannot decide our own fates, fate decides for us" –Caroline
It was an average at school, or at least on the outside it was anyway. No one seem to notice that as they were all going around laughing, smiling and arguing over nothing there was a storm brewing inside of me and that with each day it grew further and further from my control. I suddenly saw Matt and Caroline come into view, they'd been dating for about three months or so and Matt seemed happy. As a friend of course I was happy for him, but as a person I couldn't help but feel resentful towards him for having found a way out of this bitter loneliness that I was still consumed by.
"Hey Tyler," Caroline said, smiling they way she usually did.
"Nice to see you man" Matt spoke.
"Yeah, you guys too, still not use to seeing you to together. Matt and Caroline, who would've thought," I replied in my usual tone.
"It's been three months Tyler, you had have gotten use to it by now," Caroline retorted.
"Sorry, princess I haven't just yet" I answered.
"Hey don't mess with her she's going to get mad," Matt said jokingly.
"Hey!" Caroline shouted.
"Oh, yeah I forgot," I interrupted, pulling a plastic crown out of my backpack.
"For you your highness" I spoke, with a smirk on my face.
"Haha, very funny" Caroline said. Matt suddenly grabbed the crown from my hand. And placed it on Caroline's head.
"A a crown fit for a queen," Matt said, in a lousy foreign accent.
They both started laughing and I just grinned back at them. After the laughing came to a halt the two left upon saying their goodbyes.
"See you Tyler," Caroline said, as she began walking towards her homeroom.
"Later man," Matt shouted as he followed suit.
I was kind of glad they left and after I just headed to my class. The teacher began to lecture on something not that I cared too much, I never paid attention anyway. Still today I couldn't help but feel something was on my mind. It was weird really I felt as though since those two started dating I'd been further from them then I'd ever been. Matt and I were once close friends and we use to hang out often, just doing guy stuff playing basketball or whatever, we never do that anymore. As for Caroline the two of us were never best buds, but we hung out from time to time playing pool, hanging together at parties. Maybe it was just part of being a couple. It is never just Matt or just Caroline its Matt and Caroline. I think it's a little annoying actually, being with the same person all the time seems pretty exhausting.
All of this thinking, this wondering is what I'd been thinking two months ago, but now things are different I could care less about any of it. Because now I have secret something I must make sure no one ever finds out. And Matt and Caroline are the least of my worries.
