A/N: This is my first Delena fanfic. I must warn you that this does contain Stelena in it also. Stelena fans can read it, but I will tell you now that it is a Delena fanfic. I hope you enjoy. R&R. It is my motivation to continue.

Dear Diary,

It has been a rough summer break. I'm still not able to cope with it. Today's the first day of school, and I already know what everyone is going to ask. They are going to ask "Are you fine?", "How are you feeling?", and "It has been hard, hasn't it?" I'm just going to smile and say that I'm fine. I'm not though. If it wasn't for me, they wouldn't be what they are now. I just want things to be different this year. I want things to be great. Bonnie's here. End.

"Damon! Damon! Damon!" A voice yelled.

Damon woke up confused. He then whispered to himself, " Katherine." He then began to shake his head. It couldn't have been Katherine. After all, she was still stuck in the tomb, but this girl was a dead ringer for Katherine.

Back at Mystic Falls High, Caroline tried to console Elena. In the end, it seemed like Caroline was just bombarding Elena with a lot of questions. Elena continued to repeat that she was fine. Bonnie continued to worry because deep inside something was eerie. When Bonnie had touched Elena earlier, it felt like pandemonium would soon hit Mystic Falls. Maybe all the stuff Grams was saying about witches had her spooked.

Before history class began, the students were told that a transfer student had just arrived. His name is Stefan Salvatore. He is staying at the Old Boarding House. Elena could not stop gazing at him. She had just ran into him this morning after coming out of the boy's bathroom. It wasn't exactly the best scene. There was just something about him that was so mysterious. Stefan just gave off mystique. Once in a while, Elena would gaze back and notice that he, too, was watching her. Stefan, however, made a bad impression with Mr. Tanner since he acted like a smart ass.

Back at the Old Boarding House, someone had made a surprise visit.

"Now look what we have here," Damon said.

Zach panicked, "What are you doing here?"

"So Stefan wants a normal life," Damon sat down

Zach repeated, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm just here to have a little fun," Damon grabbed the Landlord by the throat. "I'll be back later. I'm going out for a snack." Damon had already left before Zach could stop him. Zach sent a text to Stefan warning him about Damon's arrival to Mystic Falls.

Stefan received the text when opening his locker. Caroline was about to come over, but Stefan had already left. While on the loose, Damon had already fed on two people. Damon had decided to make a stop near Mystic Falls High where Stefan was attending. On the way he passed by a cemetery. The fog started to rise. Crows began to caw. Elena panicked and screamed. She yelled for the crows to go away, but many more continued to swarm. In the fog, a person's outline was present. Out of the fog came no other than Damon.

"K-Katherine," Damon stuttered.

Elena blinked, "Sorry, you've got the wrong person." Bonnie and Elena were about to leave until Damon grabbed Elena's arm. Elena was now facing Damon. Their faces were only a few inches apart.

"But you have to be Katherine."

Elena shouted, "GET OFF OF ME!" Damon held onto her wrist tightly.

Damon asked, "You're not supposed to be here?"

"What?" Elena said in confusion.

Damon had a smug expression, "You're supposed to be in the tomb. How did you get out?"

Elena let herself free from Damon's grasp, "Wait! What?"

Damon laughed, "Don't act dumb, Katherine."

"Who are..." Elena said. Before she had known it, Damon had already left. She had only blinked, and he was already gone. Stefan had showed up at the gate of the cemetery. He was breathing heavily.

"Are you okay?" Stefan asked.

Elena shook her head while getting up, "Yeah. There was fog and then a guy appeared. What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk to you." Stefan said.

Elena blushed, "Why?"

"Because I want to get to know you." Stefan smiled.

Elena touched the tombstone, "My parents died recently in a car crash. Now it's only me, Jeremy, and my aunt, Jenna. Sometimes my brother really worries me. Ever since our parents died. It has been...different. Do you have any siblings?"

"No," Stefan replied, "I'm staying at my uncle's boarding house. My parents also passed away recently."

Elena said, "I'm sorry. I guess that puts us in the same boat."

"I guess it does." Stefan said while staring into Elena's eyes. "I can walk you home if you want."

Elena looked back at the tombstone and then back at Stefan, "I think I'm going to stay here a little longer."

"Okay." Stefan walked away without looking back. Elena just watched as Stefan walked away. Ten minutes later, she decided to get up and head home.

Jenna asked, "How was school?"

"Just fine," Elena replied.

Jenna sighed.

Back at the Salvatore Manor, Zach was scolding Stefan because of Stefan's return.

Zach yelled, "You knew that this was going to happen!"

"There is nothing that I could do. Wherever I go, he follows," Stefan said.

Zach said, "I knew it was a bad idea. You shouldn't have come, Stefan."

"All I wanted to do is live normally-" Stefan said.

Zach shouted, "And your selfishness is putting everyone else's life in danger."

Damon had arrived. He was already sitting in a chair with a glass of Bourbon.

"What's going on here?" Damon asked.

Stefan replied, "Nothing."

"When I say 'What is going on?', I already know because I can hear you." Damon sarcastically remarked.

Stefan shouted, "Why are you here, Damon?"

"Don't you know," Damon laughed a bit, "I'm here to make your life a living hell."

Stefan said, "Da-"

"I'm not going to do anything...yet," Damon smiled. Damon left the room. Stefan sat down into a chair. He clasped his hands near his face. Zach just sighed.

It was 12 in the morning, but Elena was still awake. She was still reading Gone with the Wind. She hadn't wrote in her diary yet. A slam came from downstairs. Elena cautiously went down the stairs. At the door was Jeremy completely drunk.

"Hi Elena, what's up?" Jeremy said.

Elena asked in a soft tone. "What are you doing?"

"I'm going to bed because I'm tired. I feel sick." Jeremy almost threw up.

Elena said. "Let me get you a glass of water." Elena went to get Jeremy a glass of water. Jeremy was about to pass out. Elena came back into the room, and woke Jeremy up. "Jeremy!"

"Huh?"

Elena shouted, "I can't watch you do this to yourself every day."

"I'm fine. Don't worry about it." Jeremy drank the water then walked up the stairs. He almost toppled over his balance, but he was able to regain his balance by holding onto the bar.

Elena ran up the stairs and sat at her desk. She opened up a blank page in her diary and began to write.

Dear Diary,

No one noticed today that I was pretending to smile or that I was really fine. However, I was able to meet a new guy today. His name is Stefan Salvatore. He's really cute and knows a lot about history. He, too, lost his parents. That reminds me. I also met another guy. I don't know who he was, but he called me Katherine. Who is she and why was I mistaken as her? He also said something about her being stuck in a tomb. Jeremy also came home drunk and high today for the third day in the row. It has been a crazy day. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better. End.

A/N: And that was the end of my first chapter of my first Delena fanfic. Hope you liked it. R&R.
