Hey everyone,I know I haven't been very good at updating my stories but a review got to me so I decided to write this story a bit differently. I even have a few other chapters already written.

I do not own The Vampire Diaries or any of the characters beside Kristen.

"WAKE UP!" I heard Elena's voice shout at me as I fell out of my bed and landed on the floor.

"Geez! You couldn't have woken me up like a normal person." I complained as I stood up.

Elena scowled at me. "I wouldn't have to if you didn't sleep like the walking dead."

"Yeah. Yeah" I walked out of my room to the bathroom as Elena headed back to her room.

After my shower I changed into a lilac spaghetti straps crop top and jeans. I went downstairs and made myself some coffee. I was quickly followed by Aunt Jenna and Elena.

"Toast I can make toast" Aunt Jenna stated to us as she looked in the fridge.

"It's all about the coffee Aunt Jenna." Elena said pouring herself some while Jeremy entered the kitchen asking. "Is there coffee?"

"Your first day of school, and I'm totally unprepared" Jenna said rushing around.

"No you're not Aunt Jenna" I told her with a smile on my face.

"Lunch money?" She offered us.

"I'm okay." Elena beamed as Jeremy grabbed the money.

"What about me Jere? You are so splitting that with me" I threatened with a fake scowl on my face but he ignored me.

"Anything else? A number 2 pencil?" Jenna continued to ask. "What am I missing?"

"Don't you have a big presentation today?" Elena questioned as Jeremy poured himself some coffee.

"I'm meeting with my thesis adviser at…now. "She said looking at her watch. "Crap!" She swore pulling her hair out of her bun.

"Then go." I started. "We'll be fine Elena finished, it's a twin thing and Jenna left.

"You okay?" Elena asked Jeremy.

Jeremy rolled his eyes. "Don't start" he said to her as he took his coffee and left the room.

"Just give him time Lena." I grabbed my bag and left the room. "And by the way I'm catching a ride with Taylor. See ya"

I met Bonnie and Elena at their lockers. Elena smiled at Matt who closed his locker and walked away. I gave her a sympathetic smile. "He hates me!". She sighed.

"No he doesn't" I told her as Bonnie exclaimed "That's not hate. That's you dumped me but I'm too cool to show it but secretly I'm listening to Air Supply's greatest hits!" I frowned I did feel bad for Matt though.

Suddenly from behind me I heard "Elena, Kristen. Oh, my God." Caroline then proceeded to grab us in a very tight hug, asking "How are you? Oh, it's so good to see you." She then looked at Bonnie. "How are they? Are they good?"

"Caroline were right here!" Elena and I said at the same time which had me smirking "And were fine thank you." Elena lied

"Really?" Caroline asked

"Yes much better." I assured her.

"Oh you poor things!" she cried pulling us into yet another hug. "Okay Caroline" I said." I still need to breathe!" I squeaked, laughing as she pulled away.

"Okay see you guys later? "She stated questionably

"Okay, yeah" Elena mumbled with a forced smile which I frowned at. "Bye Care" I called to her with a smile on my face.

Elena turned back to Bonnie and I "No comment."

We continued to walk down the hall when suddenly Bonnie pulled Elena and I to a stop inf ront of the school office." Hold up. Who's this?"

"All I see is back "Elena declared as we stared at the new guy.

"It's a hot back!" I retorted.

"I'm sensing Seattle and he plays the guitar!" Bonnie proclaimed to us. I started to laugh

"You're going to run this psychic thing to the ground, huh?" Elena asked her.

"What psychic thing?" I interrupted.

"Tell you later." Bonnie told me and then turned to Elena "Pretty much."

I turned around as I heard someone say "Jeremy, good batch." I saw that Elena heard it to and I sighed. "I'll be right back "she announced and I called her name following her into the boy's bathroom. 'Gross', I thought,' just be glad I love you Jere'.

When we entered the bathroom Elena nearly bumped into this guy. "Whoa! Next down, chick" he exclaimed as he hurriedly left the bathroom.

Elena rushed to Jeremy and examined his face. "Great it's the first day of school and you're stoned."

"Lena please can we do this later?" I said aware of our surroundings but my request fell on death ears.

"No I'm not" Jeremy argued

"Where is it?" she continued "Is it on you?" She asked looking for it while continuing to hold him down.

"Elena!"I yelled

"Stop" Jeremy commanded. "Chill yourself, all right?"

"Chill myself?" Elena asked." What is that, stoner talk?"

"Dude you are so cool" I retorted not being able to help myself.

"Look stop. I don't have anything on me? Are you crazy? "Jeremy protested.

"You haven't seen crazy Jeremy. I gave you a summer pass but I am done watching you destroy yourself." Elena admitted. Jeremy started to get up but she stopped him "No you know what? Go ahead, keep it up. Just know that I am going to be there to ruin your buzz every time, you got it?" She promised. Just then a toilet flushed and a guy got out of a cubicle. Awkward.

I decided to say something. "Please Jere, I know you and it's not this person." And then Elena finished for me "So don't be this person." She pleaded.

"I don't need this!" He growled at us and he stormed out. Elena looked at me for a couple seconds, with us sharing a worried glance before I followed her out of the bathroom. When I left I turned just to see Elena bump into the new kid.

"Uh...Pardon me" he apologized .They shared flirty glances and then he said "um... Is this the men's room?" I stifled a giggle.

"Yes. I was just… "She stammered" I was just…it's a long story". They flirted a little bit more before we left for history, me practically dragging her the entire way.

"Once our home state of Virginia joined confederacy in 1861 it created a tremendous amount of tension within the state. People in Virginia's northwest had different ideas from those of the traditional Deep South. And Virginia divided…." Mr Tanner droned on boring me. I love history but tanner can even bore me. I zoned out far too concerned with Elena and the new guy, Stefan I think. They kept sharing these flirty stares. But I didn't miss Matt's look as he noticed the romantic tension too and I inwardly frowned. Poor Matt. This must be really hard for him. I saw Bonnie start texting who I think was Elena, Matt saw too.

I sighed as I began walking. God my boots were killing me. I love the fresh air. It really gives me time to think. Today was terrible; I must have said I'm fine, thanks at least 37 times. I've realized that when someone asks, how are you? They really don't want an answer guess this happens when your parents die. I mean it's only been a few months but I don't think I'll ever forget that horrible night. May 23rd 2009. The day my parent's car drove off Wickery Bridge with Elena and I in the back.

I was walking when I bumped into someone causing my bag to fall off my shoulders." Oh I'm so... "I started as when I look up I was absorbed by these beautiful blue eyes". My mistake" he corrected reaching out his hand to help pick me up which I accepted.

"I'm Kristen" I introduced myself holding my hand up to shake. He laughed" I'm Damon".

"Well nice to meet you Damon." I told him as we shook hands. "Likewise" he replied

"What brings you out walking this late?" He asked me as we began to walk side by side. I couldn't help but stare at him. There was something strange about him but he did look great in the leather jacket he was wearing.

"I'm a night person" I answered him. "Really? "He questioned

"Yeah .The complete opposite of my twin."

"You have a twin?!" He inquired but he didn't sound surprised.

"Yep. Elena Gilbert, you've probably heard of her. My mother use to say that when the moons up, I'm up. But with Elena it's when the sun's up, she's up. I am not a morning person at all "I admitted as we begin to laugh. We continued to walk when my phone went off. I sighed. This had been really fun." Well I've got to go." I said reluctantly "It was nice meeting you."

"I hope I can see you again?" he pondered. "Definitely!" I promised. By this point we were standing in front of the Mystic Grill and I ran inside but not before turning around to give him a wave, only to find that he had already disappeared.

I spotted Caroline and Bonnie and walked over to them as Caroline began to say "His name is Stefan Salvatore. He lives with his uncle at the Salvatore boarding house. He hasn't lived here since he was a kid. Military family. They moved around a lot. He's a Gemini and his favorite color is blue."

"You got all of that in one day? "Bonnie asked astounded

"Oh please, she got all of that between third and fourth period" I laughed

"We're planning a June wedding!" Caroline boasted with a smile and walked off leaving Bonnie and I to stare at her in what I think was either wonder or amazement.

I went to get a drink and sat down with Bonnie who was sitting down next to Matt. "How's Elena doing?" Matt asked.

"Her mom and dad died. How do you think?" Bonnie said to him,giving me a smile to show me that I was included in that sentence.

"We've all been putting on a good face" I interjected

"It's only been four months" Bonnie added

"Has she said anything about me?" He asked me hopefully

"Oh no! I am not getting involved!" I declared" You can pick up a phone and call her"

"I feel weird calling her." He confessed to us." She broke up with me!"

"Give it more time, Matt" Bonnie said. He stared at us unbelievingly as the door opened and in walked Elena…with Stefan. Bad choice of words Bon I mentally thought as everyone in the grill turned to look at them including Tyler and Caroline by the pool table. "More time, huh? Matt said sarcastically as he stood to get up while Bonnie and I looked at him pityingly.

"Hey, I'm Matt. Nice to meet you." I heard him greet Stefan.

"Hi. Stefan." Matt then looked at Elena who smiled at him .They greeted each other.

We then all sat down at a table together, Bonnie, Elena, Caroline, Stefan, Matt and I "So you were born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline quizzed Stefan.

"mm-hm" he answered "I moved when I was still young."

"Parents?" Bonnie asked.

"My parents passed away" He replied

"I'm sorry "Elena told him as she grabbed my hand under the table as a way of comfort which I smile at. "Any siblings?"

"None that I talk to." He answered

"Harsh!" I muttered under my breath as I took a sip of my sprite. Stefan tore his eyes away from Elena's to look at me like he heard me which was impossible. "I live with my uncle. "He continued

"We heard" I mumbled which caused Caroline to kick me under the table as she had already told Bonnie and I but I don't think she wanted to Stefan to find out. "Ouch!" I yelled but no one took notice.

I could tell Caroline was so crushing on him and I felt bad for her because I could tell Stefan was into Elena. Caroline catching the looks between my sister and Stefan spoke. "Stefan, if you're new, you don't know about the party tomorrow".

"It's a back to school thing at the falls" Bonnie explained.

"It's going to be awesome" I added

"Are you going?" He asked Elena

"Of course she is!" Bonnie answered for her as she grinned at Elena.

"She will?" I asked confused as Elena hadn't really been to any parties since our parents died.

Elena smiled at Bonnie and tucked a strand of hair behind her head. "I guess I am."
