A/N: Hey This is my first ever Vampire Diaries fanfic, I am changing up quite a bit of the story just please don't hate me for it... So please be kind but constructive criticism is accepted :) enjoy...
I wake up to staring at my ceiling. These cream coloured walls are gonna be the death of me... why can't my walls be something dangerous or exciting... like a Turquoise or Aqua or even just black... but no... Mom is still trying to change me, you think after putting up with her misfit of a daughter for 15 years she would give up, well you clearly don't know my mom. She just doesn't get me, this is clearly the reason she favours my older sister Elena. I mean why wouldn't she Elena is Captain of all the girls sports teams,Prom Queen, On the Honour's role, Head Cheerleader, and really pretty as everyone is always telling me, with Her Long, Straight, Naturally Platinum blonde hair, and her eyes look like two blue gems about to pop out of her head, she's also on the shorter side at a 5'5 but shes lean. That would also be why almost all the guys in town want her too. But she is also little miss goody two-shoes, she does what mom wants, wears what mom wants her too wear.
Then there's me... The only sport i will do is running and swimming because they clear the mind, I'm never gonna be prom queen because im "not pretty enough", I'm not gonna get on the Honour's role because "I'm not smart enough", I tried out for cheerleading they said i was good but didn't have the look. I don't wear what my mom wants me too wear because i don't feel like wearing pastels and mini skirts thank you very much. I'm almost the complete opposite of my sister looks wise, I have medium length auburn wavy hair, 5'9. But my eyes i have been told are quite extraordinary, my eyes are a smokey grey with flakes of blue, green, and brown in them. Maybe my eyes scare most people and that's why they avoid me so often, there are only a few kids that will actually talk to me, they are considered the 'stoners' of our school, but they are actually pretty cool kids,I mean besides the whole drug thing but even then it's not like they do it at school or anything.
I hear a knock on my door.
"who is it?" i say honestly wondering, they never come and get me they always yell for me to come downstairs.
"Can i come in?" My sister says while walking in.
"well i guess seeing that your already in here" I say with sarcasm deeply edged in my voice. Let's just say im not a morning person.
"Mom was just wondering if you are still going to come out with us later" Elena said.
"Of course I am, not like i have anything better to do" I say back in a whisper almost.
"Listen Sophie, I'm Sorry" She say while looking me in the eye.
"About What?" I say back honestly confused.
"I'm sorry about always stealing the attention from you and for all of our fighting, i honestly hate it, I'm sorry for everything I've ever done to you soph" Elena said with sincerity.
I honestly felt like I was gonna cry, this is the moment i have been waiting for, for years already. "Elena, it's not your fault about anything, I should be apologizing, I love you" I said while hugging her and crying.
"I love you too" and she started crying too. "Do you want me to help you get ready? you don't have to say yes, i just want to take on a more sisterly role." she continued with a genuine smile.
"I would like that" I smiled back at her.
So Elena started to help me get ready. I even told her that i would let her dress me girly but only this one time. She started jumping up and down and dragged me to her room. She sat me down at her vanity while she ran into her closet and started pulling out outfits, to let me choose one of the three outfits, the first one just all around had to much pink so i instantly said no, the second one was better but still to frilly, the third one was perfect, not exactly something i would wear everyday but it was nice. It was a pair of black tights, with a baby blue top with some pretty cool looking design on it, she also gave me a long past my butt grey cardigan to wear with it, and some ankle height black uggs. She then pushed me into the washroom and told me to go for a a shower. Ten minutes later, i came out of the shower and went back into Elena's room. She sat me back down at her vanity and started blow drying my hair. After blowing drying she straightened it. Then proceeded to start curling my hair and putting a ton of hairspray in. About forty-five minutes later, she said she was done with my hair, then told me to go and get dressed in my room and then come back. I honestly think this is the first time i have ever listened to her. So i went put on the clothes that just happened to fit me perfectly. I then walked back to her room and my sister was already dressed and finishing putting on her make-up. She sat me at her vanity once again and started putting make up on me, it felt kind of weird cause i really only ever wore mascara before. So i closed my eyes while Elena worked her magic. She told me to open my eyes about twenty minutes later. I looked in the mirror and didn't even recognize myself, I looked gorgeous, me and Elena were standing side by side when i realized we actually do look like sisters.
Elena told me she had to take a picture so she could update her profile picture on Facebook. So we were standing side by side and were smiling and she snapped the picture of us, she then proceeded to put her cameras SD card into the computer and upload the picture. She then went to facebook logged in and out it as her new profile picture. After that she ran to the radio and turned it on and started dancing around the room. I honestly laughed at the site, i never realized how bad of a dancer she was. She then went to the computer and checked her notifications, all 15 of them were on her new profile picture, i got kind of nervous... She then opened it to check it out. She got 45 likes on it and 15 comments the girls all said something along the lines of "Wow, Elena you look gorg but who's that with you?" and they guys said stuff like "damn, looking good Elena, and who's that babe beside you?". Elena looked at me and smiled then commented "Thank guys 3 and that's my sister :P". She quickly logged off, I logged on then changed my profile pic, and tagged Elena in it, then logged off. She logged back in, Tagged me in the picture, the put in the description box, 'Makeover time with my sister :D don't we look hot ;) about to go to dinner with the family :D' after that she logged off and we went down the stairs, i got about half way down the stairs before i realized i forgot my purse so i ran back up to my room and grabbed my purse off my dresser.
Then i went downstairs, and my parents and sister were waiting just about to leave out the door, so i yelled for them to wait up. So They stopped and turned around. The look on my dad's face was priceless, and my mom looked like she was about to faint, while Elena just stood there smiling, no doubt feeling accomplished. My parents didn't know what to say so we just went to the car.
As all four of us pile into the SUV, i feel kind of giddy almost. My dad starts driving us to The Mystic Grill. They still haven't said anything to me so im honestly kind of worried. Maybe they hate it, i knew i shouldn't have come out. Elena must have sensed my worry cause she grabbed my hand and gave it a delicate squeeze.
We arrived at The Grill and the four of us were sat at a table. When some of my sisters friends (guys and girls) saw us and were seated right by us so they pushed they tables together. And they were all talking and once again i was sitting there being quite seeing that i had no one to talk too. The waiter was Matt my sisters ex-boyfriend. He's got a cute kinda boyish charm to him that almost all the girls love him for. But he still only has eyes for Elena. So he came and took all of our orders. About twenty minutes later everyone was biting into burgers and chicken, Me eating a fantastic chicken ceaser salad. While all of my sisters friends were finishing there food, they were trying to convince my mom and dad to let my sister out, when my sister finished she also started convincing them to let herself and me out too. They finally agreed and me and my sister gave them hugs as we left with her friends.
We all piled into two cars, Elena made sure we were in the same car. I had no idea where we were going but Elena mouthed to me 'be cool', I nodded back to show her that i understood. I looked around the car and realized we were with Elena's friends Bonnie, Caroline, Jeremy, and Tyler. Bonnie, Jeremy, Myself, and Elena were all squeezed tight in the back. We were all squeezed but decided it would just be easier if i sat on Jeremy's lap seeing that i was the lightest. They all had seat belts on, so Jeremy was forced to wrap his arms around me, because with Tyler's driving i most likely would have ended up through the windshield. I looked over at Elena and she winked at me. I had no idea what was going on so i mouthed to her 'what'. She then took out her phone and texted me:
Elena- r u serious rite now?
Me- wut are u talking bout?
Elena- u dont know?
Me- don't know about what?
Elena- u didn't know that j liked you all these years?
Me- r u serious?
Elena- 100% serious... u 2 were always the youngest and hes liked u since we were lik 6
Me- i had no idea :O
Elena- rite now hes grinnin like a fool cuz u on his lap
Me- omg omg omg wut should i do? I've like him since 7th grade
Elena- stay wit him through party and flirt your ass off!
Me- kk
At that moment Tyler slammed on the brakes at a red light, and Jeremy tightened his grip on me and held me closer. Bonnie also grabbed my hand and helped hold me back. But she got this far away look in her eyes.
"Bonnie, are you okay?" I said worried.
She snaps out of it almost instantly, "what? Oh yeah sometimes i just space out". I nod but can tell she's lying. I will definitely talk to her later or tomorrow.
We finally arrive at the party, this time its being held in the middle of the woods. It's dark, ominous, i like it. We all started separating until it was just me and Jeremy.
"Hey Soph, you want a drink?" Jeremy asked me nicely.
"umm, im good for now." I say with a smile.
"Okay, I will be right back then." He said smiling, then walking away.
So I'm standing by the huge bonfire by myself, kinda smiling. I reach down and grab a stick and start lighting the end on fire. I eventually just toss it in. I looked around and saw Bonnie walking my way.
"Hey Sophie, i really wish we could talk right now but it's not quite private enough so i'll come and find you after and give you a ride home okay". Bonnie said quickly under her breath almost hoping no one else would hear.
"Okay Bonnie" I said with a smile trying to reassure her.
She then continued to walk away. I then started to toss small sticks in the fire. I felt someone tap my shoulder. I slowly turned around. There was Jeremy with two red solo cups.
"Don't worry i only got you one just in case, and don't worry i got you root beer."He said with a smile, as i took a sip. He wasn't lying he got me a root bear, i felt like laughing out loud.
"well you clearly remembered that i love root beer." I said with a little laugh.
"yeah i remember it was Elena's 10th birthday party, and Your parents didn't get root beer so you and Elena had a huge hissy fit until your dad went to the sore and got a two litre of root beer, but Elena didn't even like root beer she just did it so that you could have a drink that you liked." He started laughing.
"Yup, and it up being you and me drinking the whole bottle too ourselves." I burst out laughing.
"The funny part was that i didn't even like root bee, i just did so you would think i was cool." He started laughing even harder.
"and for the longest time i thought you were the coolest out of all my sisters friends." I replied with a little giggle.
"well what about now?" Jeremy said pretty serious.
"well... i don't know, we haven't talked in forever." I said pretty upset.
"and i am truly sorry about that, i wanted to talk to you the whole time but i was too scared." He said while looking kind of ashamed.
"what do you mean by you were too scared?" i said honestly wondering.
"I was scared because i have like you since we were 6 years old." He said smiling at me.
