I woke with a start. I'd slept in, again. This was the second time this week and I knew for a fact that Mr Moore would have my head for it.
I launched myself from my bed and ran towards my wardrobe. Or where it should have been. Instead I found a simple oak wood desk and matching chair. I stopped. This wasn't my room and that wasn't my bed. I paced over to the bed side table and began rummaging through the draws, looking for my phone. Instead I found one of those old nokias. This wasn't looking good.
I picked it up and clicked around until I got it on and looked at the date. It all made sense aside form the year, 2009.
"Sophia! Are you gonna get going or what?" My shoulders relaxed as I heaved a sigh of relief at my mother's voice.
Thank god, she could explain all this. Although I don't know why in hell I'd be in a different house.
I calmly opened the door, finding further evidence that this wasn't my home, and wandered down the stairs to meet my mother.
I smiled at the sight of her. Returning it she patted the seat next to her at the oak dining table. But I remained standing, as happy as I was to see her that didn't explain the whole 'waking up in a different place' situation.
"Where are we?"
She stared at me, clearly confused as whether to laugh or ask if I was ok. So that didn't help. "Honey we're at home. Are you ok?"
"I'm fine. But what do you mean we're at home? How did we get here?"
She looked concerned now. "We slept here, are you sure you're ok?"
I wasn't but I smiled anyways, "Of course. Never mind, it was just a joke."
It absolutely wasn't but if I was going crazy, I didn't want her knowing until I did.
She slowly stood and walked over to hug me warmly. "Ok sweet heart, but you know you can always talk to me ok? In this day in age some human contact would do you good considering all that myspacing you kids do!" Turning away she laughed to herself and began to walk upstairs, "Now go get dressed or you'll miss the bus!"
I just stared at her as she walked away. MySpace? Ok now that wasn't a thing anymore. And the bus? I'd never caught the bus before, we only lived 5 minutes from school.
Something was definitely wrong.
I quickly got changed into a smaller than average t shirt and skinny jeans, the least looking 2000s clothes in my closet. Yep, I was starting to believe this wasn't 2019.
One last thing, I slowly walked to my mothers room and as I opened the door it came out, "what year is it?." God I'd done it now, she thought I was crazy.
Yep, by that look she did, "it's 2009 love."
I let out something that sounded like a yelp and ran downstairs, trying not to trip as I jumped the steps. She called after me but I kept going until I saw the bus. I flung myself through the doors and found and empty seat. My hands were shaking and I couldn't focus on anything. 2009!!! 2009 as in 10 years ago! Shit.
By the time I got off I'd calmed myself down enough to be able to take in the school and town around me. It wasn't anything like where I was from but it looked weirdly familiar. I was breathing normally now so I put my head down as I walked in, it was clearly the first day from all the signs so I knew being lost wouldn't look odd. I wandered into the school and managed to find my way to admin. They gave me my information and ignored the fact that I looked utterly terrified.
"All new students are scared on their first day, don't worry." The secretary tried to comfort me, but god, she didn't know the half of it.
Stumbling into the halls I tried to find my bearings, why was this place so familiar? I scanned the halls and started pushing my way to my locker.
"Great. It's the first day of school and you're stoned."
I froze. Recognition flooding over me as I saw who was in front of me. Wha...? Who? How? My jaw was halfway to the floor as I just stared at her, arguing with her brother.
I knew it was her brother. I knew because I'd seen them, watched half their lives from this point. But it couldn't be. Only I'd woken up this morning in a different year and a different town...
Oh shit. Oh shit. This town, this school. It was mystic falls. And that meant that the girl standing 5 feet away from em was Elena Gilbert. THE Elena Gilbert! From F-ing Vampire Diaries!!!!
