My obnoxious alarm clock blared loudly next to me making me groan out in annoyance. I rolled on my side and turned it off, slowly opening my eyes and adjusting to the brightness. I yawned and stretched before getting out of bed. First destination was the bathroom, I took a quick 15 minute shower then brushed my teeth smiling at the mirror to inspect.

The next task in hand was picking out an outfit, it was the first day of school, again. My family and I have been everywhere but California was a first. You'd think we've been here since we've been around for almost 900 years but we've barely spent any of that time in the US.

I settled for black skinny jeans, a grey shirt and my black leather jacket that matched my combat boots. I took a look at myself in the mirror and I looked nice, my outfit actually looked decent. I decided to let my brown hair fall naturally into curls, it stopped just past my waist. I applied some mascara and light matte pink lip cream. I grabbed my bag for school and headed downstairs to be greeted by my parents in the kitchen.

"Good morning sweetie," said my mom smiling at me while she drank her coffee.

"Morning mother, father," I said turning my attention to my father.

"How'd you sleep honey?" he asked.

"Good, a bit nervous for the first day of school though, you'd think that I got used to it by now," I said giggling.

"Yes, I don't understand why we have to go to school, I mean we've graduated like a million times now." My brother, Danny appeared behind me with Nath following behind him.

"Because that's what normal teenagers do," answered father.

"But we're not normal, we're vampires for god's sake and I say we act like it." Said Danny.

"We've already had this discussion, there are people out there that hunt vampires and I'm not going to let anything happen to you guys, so the best way to avoid everything is by acting normal, and school is normal." Said Father with a stern tone.

"Anyways, I was thinking, maybe we should try using an American accent this time, you know so we could fit in better," I suggested with a smile.

"I'd rather keep my British accent, it drives the girls crazy," smirked Nath, high fiving Danny.

I just rolled my eyes and picked up an apple. For a long time now, my family and I have been travelling from one place to another before people got suspicious when we didn't age. It all started in 1128, I was 18 years old in London when I was changed into a vampire. It was a very scary experience, especially since my family were still human. Ten years later I turned my parents and my brother as well, and from then on, we've been on the move. In 1567, we came across, Nathaniel or Nath as we call him now, he was beaten up by some drunk men and left to die in the streets when we found him, we decided to turn him too and he's been with us from that day. Danny and Nath have been best friends ever since, now we just say he's a family friend that lives with us, we couldn't say he's our brother because he looked very different, especially since he was half Italian. A couple of years ago, we moved to Mystic Falls in Virginia where we spent quite an interesting time and after we graduated, we moved to California. Now we're in Beacon Hills and hopefully things will be better this time.

"Are you hungry?" asked Mother pulling me from my train of thoughts.

"Oh, umm no, I snacked last night."

We kept a freezer filled with blood bags in the basement although I preferred fresh blood from the vein.

"Well I'm just gonna go now," I said kissing mother on the cheek and hugging Father.

"Good luck," he said before I left.

I headed outside and got in my car. I drove a black convertible Camaro but kept the top up, I did not need more attention on me. I hated moving a lot so I rarely made too many friends, I preferred keeping to myself. I pulled at the Beacon high parking lot in no time. It was already two weeks into school so this was bad enough, the staring eyes at me as I got out of the car did not help at all.

I tried ignoring people's stares and headed inside to the front office where I could take my schedule.

"Good morning, how may I help you?" asked an old lady that sat behind her desk.

"Hello, I'm Charlotte Summers, I'm a new student here," I replied with a smile.

"Oh, hello dear. I have your schedule right here and this is your locker number and combination." She handed me a paper with all the information on it.

"Thank you," I smiled at her.

"Good luck on your first day sweet heart."

Well she was very nice. I walked to my locker, number 423. I opened it up and put in some books that I wouldn't need for my first class. I took a look at my schedule, first class Economics. I huffed out in annoyance, I never really liked Economics but I wasn't gonna skip the first class on my first day. I still had 5 minutes left till the first bell rang but I decided to head to class early so I wouldn't have all eyes on me when I walked in late.

I took a seat on the last row, next to the window a couple of seats behind so I wouldn't actually have to pay attention. I put down my bag next to my foot and looked out the window, waiting for time to pass by. Within a couple of minutes, the room was filled with teenagers and I could feel some of them glancing at me although I didn't directly look at them to make sure. Once the bell rang, the teacher was in class, ready to start teaching but before that, she did the worst thing a teacher could ever do.

"Class, we have a new student today, please welcome Charlotte Summers." She pointed at me making everyone's gaze fall on me.

Great, just great.

"Would you like to say something?" she asked looking at me.

I shifted my gaze towards and just kept quiet. All I wanted to do was go by unnoticed but apparently that was too much to ask for.

"Or not," she smiled and continued on with class.

After a dreadful hour in that class, it was finally over and I could not have been more thankful. Fortunately, the next two classes did not suck as much as the first one. Next was lunch time so I headed over to my locker to pick up some books that I'd need for later and dropped off the ones I didn't need.

I was looking inside my locker when I heard her next to me.

"You're Charlotte, the new girl right? I'm Lydia," I turned around to see a strawberry blonde girl smiling at me. Before I could say anything she continued talking, "I don't think what Ms. Wright did was cool, calling you in front of everyone, I mean it probably already sucks to be the new girl right?"

I was about to answer her but she cut me off again, "So you should sit with me and my friends, it'll be fun," she said smiling. Well this girl loved her own voice. I just nodded solemnly this time, not even bothering to talk.

She looped her arms around mine and dragged me down the whole with her, I barely even got to shut my locker door and take my bag before we skipped off. She took me outside the building where there were lunch tables on concrete ground surrounded by green grass. There were a lot of students just scattered around eating and laughing and from my peripheral vision, I caught site of Danny and Nath sitting with a bunch cheerleaders and others girls in skimpy clothes. I just rolled my eyes at how predictive they are and walked over to a table with two guys and a girl with Lydia.

"Hey guys, this is Charlotte the new girl. I told her to join us since she doesn't have any friends yet." Well she tries to be friendly but it just doesn't come out the right way when she speaks.

"Hey, I'm Allison, that's Scott and Stiles," said a girl with short black hair smiling at me. I waved at them before Lydia pulled me down to sit next to her with Allison on the other side of her and Scott was seated in front of me while Stiles sat in front of Lydia and Allison.

"So Charlotte, where did you move from?" asked Allison.

"Mystic Falls in Virginia," I answered, "and please, call me Charlie."

"A British accent, I think I have a little crush on you," said Lydia making her friends chuckle.

"So how do you like it here so far?" asked Scott.

"It's not bad, better than I expected it to be," I answered.

"That's because you're friends with us now," said Lydia taking a bite from her fruit salad in a bowl.

I dug into my bag and took out a bottle of water so I'd look normal. I took a sip and just drowned out the conversation they were having and looked around at what my life is gonna be for the next couple of years. I could feel someone's eyes on me so I turned a little to left to see Stiles looking at me, the second my eyes met his, he averted his gaze in embarrassment making me blush.

"I have to go to class," I said getting up a while later picking my bag up with me.

"What do you have?" asked Scott.

"Umm, Biology I believe."

"So do we, if you wait 5 minutes we can all head there together," said Lydia.

"It's ok, I'll walk with her," said Stiles getting up from his seat and walking next to me. He put his arm out as if signaling ladies first so I went ahead.

Once we were both inside he spoke up, "sorry about Lydia, she can be a little too much sometimes," he said chuckling.

"Oh no, she was nice," I said looking at him.

"Well she tries to be," he said making me smile.

So maybe it wouldn't be as bad as I thought it would be after all.
