Belinda sat in the kitchen watching her Aunt Jenna rushing around trying to get ready for the day, she hadn't slept the night before so she was already down and ready well before her two siblings. She was nervous about going back to school, she'd kept to herself since the accident that had taken her parents from her. She was thankful that her sister had come out of it un harmed, even if she was stuck with the stupid cane she was thankful that they both made it out alright.
She watched as her sister came down a short while later and headed straight for the coffee pot. She smiled when her sister handed her the first cup before pouring herself a cup as well only for it to be taken from Jeremy , as she reassured their aunt that it was all about the coffee.
Shortly later she found herself in Bonnie's car with Elena on their way to school. She listened intrigued by Bonnie telling them that her grandmother was telling them she was a witch. When out of nowhere this huge crow flew into the windshield of the car. Belinda quickly shut her eyes trying to keep the panic from rising, she refused to be afraid of cars for the rest of her life. As if from far away she heard Bonnie trying to reassure her and Elena and make sure we were okay. She finally noticed Elena had takin her hand and she suddenly felt grounded and fine again. She offered up a weak smile telling Bonnie that it was alright.
After that she was less afraid to start school after all. So once they made it to school she walked as tall and proud as she had before the accident. Once the three of them were clumped around her and Elena's lockers, the twins turned to look over at Matt and Elena tried to give him a wave but he turned to look back to Tyler. Then Tyler saw Belinda standing there and quickly shut his locker to go talk to her. Belinda looked at Elena for help, Tyler was the last person she wanted to talk to and they all knew it. Before Elena had to intervene Caroline rushed up to them.
