Chapter One: Nicole's POV:

Dear Diary,

I wanted to change something in my life, I had a feeling tomorrow that something would happen. Something outstanding, it would change my life forever I just couldn t grasp what. I hoped that tomorrow, would be a better day.

I closed my diary and searched around my room, it felt as if I was being watched. Damon and Stefan are coming around mine and Elena's house. I think Caroline was going to be there, all of us, all crowded around one small table - I could not wait.

I searched around my room again with my eyes and walked over to my bedroom window and shut it and dashed back over to my bed, turned off my bedside lamp and lay my head down onto my pillow and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up the next day I heard Elena shout at me, it was rare that she did shout. But every morning for school she had to wake me up, seeing as I was far too lazy. She was the more 'active' sister, should I say.

"Come on, get up!" she was shaking me, I opened my eyes slowly. My eyes burning as the sunlight shone into them. I was so not a morning person!

"Ugh..." it came out as a murmur than anything else, "why does there have to be school on Fridays, why do people classify Friday's as the weekend when we still have to go to school? I do not get it!" I usually would murmur about random rubbish in the morning.

I honestly do not know how Elena keeps up with me sometimes. I wondered often who was the more mature sister. She could be silly believe it or not, but I acted mature when she was being silly. This was when we had misunderstandings.

"It doesn't matter, all that matters right now, is that we have school and when I get home I have to prepare dinner for everyone coming around tonight, I need to pour glasses for drinks and prepare all of the food-" She droned on, one thought rolling into another. I, on the other hand sat up in my bed, stretching my muscles, preparing my body for a day full of moving.

"Stop worrying, I'll help!" I told her, she nodded and cracked a smile. I was glad to see her happy. We had both gained a few mental scars when our parents died. But the world kept spinning, as did we. We had to, if we stayed where we were then we would vanish.

"Oh yippee." She murmured before walking out of my room and I watched her long light brown hair flow on her back, I looked down at my darker curly brown hair. Which was seriously in the need of a brush, I may add. It took me a while, but I did it. I climbed out of my huge cream coloured double bed and over to my wardrobe. It usually took me half an hour to choose what I would wear for school that day.

But today Elena had woken me up later than usual, so I didn't have much time. I searched through my wardrobe quickly and thoroughly.

After around five-minutes of searching, I decided to go with what I usually wore: dark jeans and a long-sleeved black top. I took off my light blue vest pyjama top and my light purple shorts and pulled the top over my head and pulled the trousers onto my waist.

I walked over to my dresser with my mirror on and applied a bit of foundation and light powder, slight black eye liner, mascara and blush. One of the differences between my twin sister Elena and I was that I have paler skin than her, only slightly. We almost looked identical, if it wasn t for my curlier hair.

When I was finished in the bedroom, I walked to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and my hair and stared at my plain self in the mirror, I had exactly the same coloured eyes as Elena brown. I am seventeen years of age and go to Mystic Falls high school, I 'hang' around with Caroline and Elena, and Stefan, most of the time at school.
Sometimes Bonnie, when she wasn't ignoring me that is. Bonnie and I we, have different opinions on life.
I walked out of my room and grabbed my white buttoned jacket on the way out; I walked down the stairs slowly and into the kitchen where I saw Aunt Jenna making breakfast, and Elena scrawling in her notebook her green diary.

"Morning Nicole" Aunt Jenna said to me, making herself breakfast and drinking a cup of coffee to spice up her morning.
"Hey, have a good sleep?" I asked her merrily, she smiled at the fact that I was in a good mood. I returned the smile and sat down on the chair next to Elena.

"Pretty good," She replied and I searched around the room, noticing that there was somebody missing. A certain somebody who was called my brother.

"Where's Jeremy?" I asked, curious as to where he was.

"Already left," Jenna replied smoothly and calmly. Wait, what! He never left for school early, I tilted my head and Elena looked up at me, she stood up and took a hold of my wrist and pulled me behind her out of the room,

"What?" I asked, wondering where the hell she was taking me and why she couldn't say it in front of Jenna.

"I don't know why Jeremy went in early, but please try not to worry Jenna?" I nodded in response.

"As song as Jeremy isn't up to something again. Then no, I will not tell Jenna." I told her, then decided to change the subject completely.

"Is Stefan alright?" She nodded, I barely even saw him yesterday - I spent all of my lunchtime inside the library, doing my homework.

"He's fine. W-Why?" She stammered,

"Just wondering, come on." I pulled back on her arm back into the kitchen and Aunt Jenna asked,

"What's up girls?" She obviously saw the confused look on my face and the thoughtful look on Elena's.

"Nothing," We answered in unison. We both laughed and they were the same, it was weird when that happened.

"What's for breakfast?" I asked.

"Toast-like normal." Jenna replied, smiling. I chuckled slightly, the usual. I walked over to the counter where the toaster was and waited a few seconds and the toast popped up, I grabbed it and spread butter on it, I placed two more pieces of bread in the toaster for Elena, and started to nibble on mine.

I got alarmed when the doorbell rang. Elena jumped up in the air and practically ran towards the door, I looked at Aunt Jenna as if to say 'who would knock on our door, at this time?' she shrugged her shoulders. I walked into the hallway and poked my head around and looked at the door, it was Stefan!

Elena and Stefan had their arms wrapped around each other and he was hugging her tightly. Stefan was facing me and he smiled, I waved back, walked back into the kitchen and picked up Elena s toast and spread butter onto it for her, "Who is it?" Aunt Jenna whispered in my ear,

"Stefan." I looked up at her and she was rolling her eyes,

"Elena!" I called, she came into the kitchen and took her toast from me and started eating it at the table, Stefan went and sat on one of the kitchen chairs next to her.

"You still coming tonight Stef?" I asked, smiling at him.

"Yes, of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world," he replied politely.

"And Damon?" I said his name like I knew him forever and I had repeated it millions of times, even though I hadn't. I had only seen him a few times, when he was with Stefan at the boarding house. In my opinion, everyone was 'scared' of him in a way, and I think that people took him the wrong way.

"Yes, sadly for you. He wants to go around another persons house for a change. He told me that he's bored of our house," Stefan explained. I laughed and looked at my watch, it read: Eight fifty two! I had eight minutes to get to school.

Caroline usually drove me, but seeing as I got up late and she didn t phone me and asked me whether I wanted a ride what would I do?

"Elena, how are you getting to school?" I asked, immediately panicking.

"Stefan's taking me," She replied simply. I turned to Stefan and pouted.

"Do you mind if I come?" I asked,

"Not at all." Stefan replied, giving into my pout.

"Thank you," I replied almost too quickly. "One sec," I quickly ran up the stairs and into my room and took one last look in the mirror before leaving; I looked fine - well as fine as I could get. I walked back out of my room and down the stairs into the kitchen, I grabbed my bag and walked out the front door and saw Stefan and Elena in his car. I walked out and shouted

"Bye Jenna!" I scurried out the door and opened the door of his car and climbed in, I stared out of the window of the car and dreaded another day of school.
