Chapter 1
It was my first day at a Mystic Falls High. My family and I had just moved to town. My mother had died when I was 7 years old, only 17 months after my parents split. I was nervous, but also exited. A new place, a new life, new friends, and new me. I was turning over a new leaf!
I stood looking at my reflection in the mirror and took a deep breath, today was going to be good.
I drove into the parking lot, already getting curious looks from other students. At least it was the first day of school, not somewhere in the middle of the year like last time.
I waved as I passed my brother, already making friends and he's been here for less than15 minutes. My younger siblings go to the local middle school this year, so I'd already dropped them, off. After finally finding a parking space, I maneuvered my way to the front office.
"Hi honey, what can I do for you?" The lady at the front desk asked, looking up from her papers.
"Hey, I'm new, my brother and I just moved here from Boulder, Colorado. I was wonder if I could grab my schedule."
"Oh! Welcome, you must be Elena! Your brother was here just a few minutes ago." She exclaimed, sifting through the files in her desk, pulling out a map of the school and my schedule.
"Here you go dear" the lady said handing them to me. I smiled.
"Thanks" but the woman had already turned to one of the boys talking near by.
"Stefan, could you please show Miss Gilbert around, and accompany her to her classes?" Stefan walked over.
"Why I'd love to" he said smiling at me, I wasn't quite sure if he was mocking me. "Come on, we'd better hurry if we're gonna be on time." He motioned out into the courtyard, holding the door open for me. I nodded.
"Thank you!" I called over my shoulder, walking out.
"Good luck dear!" The lady at the desk called as we walked out of the office and twards first period.
"Let's see, what do you have first?" Stefan asked looking at my schedule.
"I have History in room, 1003."
"It's right up there to the left, come on" he said pointing ahead, speeding up his pace. We reached the room.
"Here we are, is there anything else you need?" He asked, his face light and friendly.
"Nope, I'm good, thanks though." I gave him a half smile.
He nodded. I turned taking a deep breath, and when I looked back he was gone. Bracing myself I walked in, hurriedly taking the empty seat closest to the door.
"Welcome class, my name is Alaric Sultsman, you may call me Mr. Sultsman or Mr. S. I see we have many new faces this year, and although it's the first day, I see no reason why we shouldn't jump right in!" The class groaned as Mr. S. started class, diving right into the history Mystic Falls.
"Psst!" I felt a tap on my shoulder, and quickly turned in that direction. A girl around my age with long brown wavy hair gave me a little wave.
"Hey, I'm Bonnie. You must be new, I've never seen you before" she whispered.
"Yeah, I'm Elena and I just moved to town" I whispered back with a little smile.
"Well welcome to Mystic Falls, the most boring town ever" she rolled her eyes, her face alive with a silent laugh, "I'm serious though, nothing bad like ever happens here."
"Miss Bennett, Miss Gilbert, I hope we aren't disturbing you" Mr. Sultsman said in a disapproving tone.
"Sorry Mr. S. I was just showing Elena here what page we were on" Bonnie spoke up quickly, ignoring the snickers from other students.
"Yeah, this is my first day and I was just a bit confused, sorry for interrupting class" I gave him my most innocent look. Mr. S just looked amused.
"I'll excuse you this time, but don't let it happen again." He said and he turned to continue the lesson. I looked back at Bonnie, she smiled and winked. Maybe this would be the start of a friendship, who knew?
When class ended I grabbed my stuff and hurried out to find everyone staring at someone just outside the door. I looked over to see Stefan resting casually against the wall waiting for me.
"Hey!" I said walking up to him, "Did you make it to class on time?"
"Yeah, why?" He replied looking a little confused.
"The bell rang just as I stepped into class" I pointed out.
"Oh, my class is just up the hall" he said pointing in the direction he had disappeared this morning. I spotted Bonnie, and waved. She smiled, and started over until she saw who stood at my side, and just hurried past. I glanced up at him, his brows were burrowed. Shrugging it off I asked him if we could go to my next class.
The rest of the day went by, then the week. I got into the rhythm of school, then homework, and hanging out with Caroline (who was apparently dating Stefan?), Bonnie and April. Stefan and I became fast friends, but he was Mr. Loner, Mystery guy (according to April) so I felt like he was keeping something from me.
