I don't have any rights. No TVD rights.
Kate is Elena's twin. But despite that fact you re gonna love her. Curls, smile and mean nature attract everybody, don't they?
Katherine. She always played some part in Damon's life. This time she came to change everything. Because she changed.
-Hurry up! - Jenna screamed for the millionth time.
-Coming! I am! What? - Kate said, really coming downstairs
-Caroline is waiting for like an hour outside!
-No, she's not. Don't overreact. Moreover, I don't see Elena. Looks like I'm not the one who is late! - Kate said
-You can't see her because she is ALREADY in the car. With Caroline. Take your lunch and go, go, go. Tanner will not like it. I'd like to see it.
-Bebebe! - Kate loved Jenna, but she knew that her aunt was more like a friend then a real aunt.
Jumping in the car, Kate said to the girls with a grin: - No words! Just ride! I love you!
It wasn't always like that. When Elena and Kate's parents died, there was no place for Kate to stay. So without saying goodbye she left Mystic Falls. She went to New York for a year where she was just spending her own money and dancing in the clubs. That's what everyone said. No one knew the truth.
-Looks like we really are seniors! Sounds awful! I'd rather prefer freshmen, but in the university. For example, Oxford. England, 5 o'clock, accent. No one knows us. Perfect! - Kate laughed
-Yes, it is, but I live in reality. So, let's get ready for the history. Kate, don't even think of ditching it. - Elena warned.
-I didn't. Come on. I love Tanner. He looks soo..
-What? Really? You are going to joke about Sexy Tanner? No way! - Caroline screamed with a laugh.
-You're right! He is soo hot that we even can't kid about it. What a pity! - Kate said with an english accent
-By the way I heard that we have a new guy. - Caroline always knew the news
-Whatever! We don't care about guys, do we, Elena? "Because we are here to study" - Kate mocked her twin.
-Haha. Funny Kate always is so funny. - Elena said with a fake smile -But we really don't. We just don't need it.
-Right! Because we're going to die alone. That's what she said.
-I'm glad to hear it because from my source he looks hot, hotter that Tanner, got it Kate?
-I can't believe you, because that's just not possible. It's not.
-Well,well,well. Looks like it's his back. Isn't it the hottest back in the school? - Care said with a sigh
-Yeah, but you heard Elena. You are free to get him. We are total virgins.
This time the guy turned around to show us his face. YES, hot. No, not for me. Oh god, who am I kidding? - Kate thought
-Hi! - Kate discovered that she was talking to HIM- You're the new guy, apparently.
-Yes, I guess I am. I'm Stefan.
-I am Katherine.
-You are?
-Yes. You can call me Kate. Or Katie. Or Kitty. I'm sorry I was kidding. - Kate was really nervous which was for the first time actually
-These girls are Caroline and Elena, my twin - I turned around but there was no one.
-Urgmm, they probably are in the class. Anyway, nice meeting you.
-Yes, like wise. Is there any chance that we've we met before?
-I doubt that. I would remember you. Sorry- I shrugged
-Ok, must be my memory.
-Well, then see you in the class? - She was so nervous
-Sure.
"Oh my God! What did I just do?" - Kate thought. Usually she was very easy to talk to anyone, but this time, something was not like the same. It was different Kate and she didn't know whether she liked it or not.
-Hey - Care whispered in the class - what was that? Fliiiiirting?
-No, I was just friendly. You know, people do welcome new ones. Though in your universe I don't know what it's called.
-Yeaaah, right. - She whispered in disbelief.
-Gilbert and Forbes. Silence. - Tanner said with his annoying voice.
That moment Stefan walked in the class
-Sorry. I couldn't find the right class. I'm new here
-Yes. Whatever. Come in. It's your last time when you're late, got it?
-Absolutely.
Stefan looked through the class, looking for an empty chair and froze staring at Elena and Kate. It happened before when people knew they were twins, but this time, he was acting like he knew the girls.
Kate smiled welcoming him. He smiled back and came in her direction. Stefan sat near her and said hi again. It would be really cute, if Care was not laughing in her fist. She was always like that. Typical girl.
When the bell rang, Elena came to Kate saying that there was a party after first day and she could ask Stefan.
-Why don't you do it by yourself? I mean I can, but I don't really know him that well. - Kate wondered
-Because if you like him it could be your first step - Elena smiled.
-By the way, you don't like him, right? - Kate whispered
-Why would I? - She awkwardly laughed
And that minute Kate understood that Elena could hide her attraction to Stefan. She was not sure, but it was possible
-Right. You have Matt. Why would you? - Kate said quietly
-No, I don't and I can hear you. I can. I am standing right here.
-Ok,ok. Let's go. It's P.E. I don't want to be late.
-What? I thought you were not planning to go today.
-You got me. I was kidding. As always. I am gonna go to the Mystic Grill. My friend from New York came by.
-Wow. Sounds great. For a ditcher.
-I know. I like it too.
That was their goodbye.
In the Grill the second Kate came she recognized her "great love" as she used to call him as some sort of teasing. Though they never had anything.
-Damon! - She screamed with a huge smile
-My princess. - He came to her with his famous grin
-Long time, no see. I miss you, you know.
-Oh me too, I mean it. How are you in this - What's the city called again, I forgot?
-Funny. It's Los Angeles, don't you see it? I'm fine, till everybody thinks I was just partying in NY, nobody is curious. So, family, old friends, memories - everything is here.
-I didn't catch in your sentence a word about boys. How so?
-Well, there's a new guy in my school. He is hot. You'd approve
-If he's not me, then how can I? Impossible. You deserve the best - I mean me.
-I miss you - She said quietly giving him a hug. - When are you leaving?
-You want me to go that soon?
-No,no,no. I mean yes, I hate you. I just don't want you to suddenly disappear.
-I don't really know. Could be tomorrow, could be next year.
-I like the last option more. Wait, where are you staying?
-You know, I have connections here. Not only you is my friend.
-I'm jealous. I mean what girl is better than me? You know I can do anything. You know it.
-It's not a girl. It's not a woman. It's my brother.
-Brother? Here? How come I don't know that? Seriously! What's his name?
-You probably don't know him. It's Antonio. An Italian guy with a moustache. Like Mario. Really.
-You wanna kidding, that's fine. I used to say when we first met that I am a married 34 year old woman with 3 kids and saying that only green beans help me to look that good.
-I remember, it was a very bad lie. Everybody laughed at you.
-No, everybody laughed with me.
-Yeah, whatever.
-Why don't you smile? Something is bothering you? I mean I can help.
-I know, I know, honey. It's just not that easy. Are you sure you want to say here? I could take you with you to travel all over the world.
-No. I can't. I can't be with you while you find another girl and I'm just sitting in the car.
-What? Bullshit. Never gonna happen. I swear.
-No, I can't leave my family again. I have to stay.
-Is it about this guy? What's his name again?
-I never said his name. It's Stefan. Italian too, I guess. By the way, I don't know your surname, what's it?
-Stefan then. So you guys talked?
-Yes, and Elena and Care too. Don't change the subject.
-Sorry, it's ﾅMontgomery. Your twin did talk to him?
-Well, for like a second. She said hi or something. I think she likes him too.
-yeah - Damon said in frustration.
-I don't know what surprised you, but anyway we are throwing a party tonight. You should come by and meet my friends.
-Well, I don't know. I have plans.
-Really? Out of the blue you have plans? You just came. You're the only person who really knows me and you're ditching me. No way.
-Kate, you're really nice today. I know that's your town but how long are you gonna pretend that you're nice girl?
-I don't. I just try to be nice. Really. I don't want to be "New York Kate" anymore. People don't like mean, selfish and arrogant girls. They just don't
-Who cares about others? I like you does that matter for you?
-If you like me, you should like me anyway.
-Right. Then I was right when I called you a princess. Maybe you've become a virgin back?
-WaitﾅI never said I am nice. I try to be. You don't know what happened that summer. I mean nobody knows and I'm not proud. But I'm still bad.
-Much better. -Damon said with a smile
-I think I should go home to get ready for the party. Don't you dare to not appear. I'll kill you. At least I'll try. -She laughed
At home she was sitting on the sofa thinking how much she's changed and all for vain. She will always be like demon, no need to act like an angel. She realized she didn't want to pretend another person. New York and mainly Damon changed her for good. And she loved it.
