A/N: The plot of this story just came to me out of nowhere while waiting for the bus. I know I haven't updated my other story in ages, but I've been busy, and I promise to update sometime the following week. Anyway, I wasn't sure whether to write this or not, so if you like it, please let me know. It's a small preview, until I decide what I will do with it .It's Delena of course, AU. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Dear Diary,
When my alarm hit today and I tried to open my eyes, my lids were just too heavy. I hadn't slept for a single second last night but now I felt so tired, I didn't even want to think of getting off my bed. But I have to. It's the first day at my new school, where no one knows what I've been through. What I've done. I'll just smile and try to find my place in the new environment. They will look at me and see a normal high school senior. It will be hard, assuming I just moved in from Fell's Church, but I'm a survivor. I will make it.
But as much as the thought of suddenly being in a new school terrified me, it was not the reason I couldn't sleep last night. The picture of the man I had met last night kept appearing in my head, and there was no way I could get it out. I had just returned from the grocery store to my apartment. I had nothing to eat so I needed supplies. That was when I saw him. He was lounging on the huge oak tree across the street, his hands in his pockets, supporting his weight with his leg. I couldn't see his face in the darkness, but I felt drawn to him, in a way that I couldn't hold back. As a result, before I even knew it, I had left the groceries on the front porch and was making my way through the street. I ran my hand through my hair. I was nervous. Something flattered in my stomach; I hadn't felt that in a really long time, and it made my knees go weak. And all that without even seeing his face. When I got close enough for him to be aware of my presence, he came closer to me, picked my hand and kissed the back of my palm. "I'm Damon Salvatore. Enchanted to meet you.", the stranger said, and his voice made me feel even weaker. He had said 8 simple words and I still thought it was the most erotic thing I'd ever heard. I moved my gaze up our hands and straight into his face. I was taken aback, for I was not expecting something that beautiful to even exist. He seemed older than me, around 23 or something. His features were perfectly placed on his face and his eyes had the most extraordinary blue color I had ever seen; they were so blue that I felt like I was swimming in an ocean for a moment. But I was also afraid. His beauty seemed to have something inhuman about it. Something exotic. All I could do was introduce myself. "I'm Elena Gilbert. I just moved in here. Pleasure to meet you.", I mumbled. He smirked. "Okay Elena Gilbert, I'll see you around." And with that he disappeared into the darkness.
I had the image of his face on my mind during the whole night. I knew I should sleep, but the thought of him kept me awake. Also, I think I've heard the name Salvatore before, I'm just too tired to remember now. I have to meet him again. All the mystery is going to kill me. I will do anything to see him again. But I shouldn't. Not with the secret I'm hiding. No one will be safe if they find out. So, for now, I'll just have to get through the first day of school.
A/N: Please review if you like it, cause I'm not sure I'll be continuing it…Also, next chapter there will be more about Elena's big secret. Thank you.
Xoxo
