"To say that today was the first day of my junior year in High School would be something to be nervous about especially if it's a new school. I would be shitting myself if I didn't already do this many times. It's been 150 years and I would have never thought I would be moving back. Not like it's the first time we've been back in our family home. The one problem we've had with staying to long be the founding families are still living in town. They are the select few families that knew our secret and chased us away from our home after they tried to kill us. Every 20 years or so we return to see how things have changed. But before all that happened lets start from the beginning. It all started when my twin brother and I fell for the same girl Brittany Pierce. She was at first a potential for my brother Damon, but that quickly changed when she first came to stay with us in our home in Mystic Falls. To basically keep this story short on why my first day of school is somewhat relevant to my past is because of a girl I just recently saw in town. A girl that looks exactly like Miss Pierce back in 1862."
"SANTIAGO, HURRY UP WE'RE GOING TO BE LATE IF YOU DON'T STOP CHECKING YOURSELF OUT IN THE MIRROR". My brother yelled from the bottom of the stairs. "ALRIGHT GEEZ HOLD YOUR HORSES I'M GOING NOW". I yell back at his impatience. I close my journal and tuck it back in the bookshelf at the end of my bed. "Alright lets get this party started". I say as I reach the bottom of the stairs and head for the door. "Done hitting on your self bro". Damon sarcastically says as we both leave the house with Zack following behind because he's driving us the first day. "You do know that we can be there in like 2 seconds, right". I say to him as we all hop in his black on yellow 1967 Camaro SS. For some reason he thinks everything looks better in yellow, but if you ask me I think he has an obsession with bumblebee from the Transformers. His car used to be black on blue and he denies it. "I know you can but I still have to do my guardian part of the agreement and sign papers. Plus we have to pick up your cars tonight". He explains as I roll my eyes when we pull into the parking lot of the school. We get out the car and start heading towards the administration office. It only took about 15 minutes for us to get our schedules, and it only took 2 seconds for Zack to get turned down from the hot desk girl. We say our good byes to Zack as we start heading across the courtyard. "Santiago control your temper! No fighting!" he yells to me like if I'm a child. All I do is flick him the bird not even turning around.
"I never understood why we have to always go back to high school". Damon says to me while we're looking at our schedules. "Urg again bro. We're still 16 years old. Just because we're 167 doesn't mean we can't learn more." I explain to him as I continue looking at the school map. I look up for a second to see if I can navigate where I'm at I see her. She's walking with her friends then stops to talk to a boy with a Mohawk. And at that time she stops to look at me. Our eyes meet for maybe 10 seconds at the most and she turns to continue talking. "Brittany! I'm over here". Another girl calls her. "Hey see you at lunch bro" I say to him as I walk towards them. My brother says nothing as he heads in the other direction to his first class.
B. POV
First day of school is always so exciting since it's the first of junior year. I meet up with my friends as usual. "Hey B!" she's says. "Hey Q" I reply. "Excited for the first day of being an upper classman" she asks as we walk through the crowd of students in the courtyard. I look around for our other friends to see if they were here yet. "Hey there's your brother. If I was new here I would have never thought that you two were twins." She says. "That's because we're not identical Quinn. Fraternal twins remember keep that word in mind just in case someone asks you." I say with a smile. "Hey sis. Hey Baby" my brother says as he leans to give Quinn a kiss. "Hey babe" Quinn replies. "Hello puckie boy" I say. I turn again to look for our other friends when I see two people. They must be new here because I've never seen them before. They are both tall, dark hair, nice fit bodies, and very attractive. They are both hot. I wonder who they are. And then our eyes meet quickly before I turn back to talk to my brother and Quinn. I feel butterflies when I see one of the guys walk towards us then I hear my name.
"Brittany! I'm over here" I look to my left and it's Mercedes followed by Sam and Kurt. "Hey cedes!" we say as they approach. "Hey B, Q, Puck" she says as we all greet each other. "Whoa who's the hot new guy walking towards us." Kurt says with a smirk and a wink at me. He's very awkward for sure and I turn to see him coming near. "Hi. I'm sorry I don't mean to bug, but I'm new here and I was wondering if you could point me to the east wing. My map kind of sucks" he says to us with a smile that shows maybe a glimpse of what looks like dimples. "Sure Brittany and I have our first class there" Puck says. "Hi. I'm Noah Gilbert. But every one calls me Puck" my brother says with a handshake. "Hi. Quinn Lockwood", "Mercedes Bennett", "Kurt Forbes"," Sam Donovan." they all introduce themselves. As I stay speechless staring at him, he's so hot. "Hey do you have a name too?" he asks with a smile. "OH sorry I spaced out. Um I'm Brittany Gilbert." I say offering my hand to him which he takes. Our hands touch for a quick second and butterflies explode in my stomach. "Gilbert? Are you two related?" he asks curiously. "Yea were twins. Not identical obviously" I say, "So. Do you have a name or should we guess?" Puck says. "Well you guys can try but I doubt you will get it. My bad where are my manners I'm Santiago Salvatore." He says proudly. "Salvatore? You're a founding member." Quinn says. "Yes I am and so are some of you. I paid attention to your last names. And yes I'm new here too I grew up in California. My brother and I had to move back here after our parents passed a couple months ago." He says sadly. "Oh I'm so sorry to hear that." Quinn says.
S. POV
"Don't worry about it. It's hard but I still have my brother and we're not alone." I say trying to sound convincing. I've practiced this speech over and over. "So where are you guys staying? Are you staying with Zack at the Boarding house? I mean your family does own it." Brittany says. For a minute I was speechless because she was talking and she knows zack. Put it together Salvatore. "Oh yea we are. Zack is our uncle/guardian now. He's the only living member still here in the states that we know of at least." I say quickly. "So lets go before the bell rings, Bye babe see you soon, come on Britt. You coming Salvatore." Puck says as he and Brittany turned to walk. "Yea sorry I spaced for a sec. I almost forgot you guys are going the same way." I say quickly following. "Does your brother go to school here too, or is he younger then you." Puck asks curiously. "Yes he does. He's actually talking to that girl over there." I point. "And were twins also. So he's actually like 2 mins older then me." I finish. "He's talking to Caroline. Quinns little sister." Puck says as we turn to the right hall. "He always finds the young blondes to talk too." I say under my breath.
The first day was ok. Brittany and I had many classes together. I also had some classes with Damon so that was fun. I thought he was going to attack a couple of guys that made comments and tried to act like they were going to jump me. If they'd tried it would have been bad but especially in Spanish class when we were sitting with Britt and Puck.
Flash back
"Hey San. Who are your friends." He says with a raised eyebrow and sits down next to me. "Hey D these two were nice enough to show me to all my classes." I say before I introduce them. "Hey man thanks for showing my brother around I'm Damon Salvatore." He says. "No problem man we saw you go the other way. I'm Noah Gilbert you can call me puck and this is my sister Brittany." Puck says after. "Yea my first class was on the other side of school it was a pain to find. I'm surprised you needed help San your usually really good with directions. Did Zack give you a map or did he think we would be together all day. You could of told me man I would have snap a pic for you and sent a text." My brother says. "No Damon relax. My map is ruined and they were near me. At least I made friends though plus you were talking to some hot little blonde." I raise an eyebrow at him. "Not what you think bro. She asked me if I needed help, and I also made some friends. Her sister Quinn was really nice they showed me to my class. And the girl gave me her number as she was being dragged away by Quinn." He finishes.
"Yes she's nice and is actually Pucks girlfriend." I say. "Cool I guess we meet the same crowd no wonder she was looking at me like if she saw me somewhere but didn't say anything." He says as two Football players pass. "Damn Britt your looking super fine today" the taller one says. "Yea fine ass hell B. Do you need me to walk you to any of your classes" the gorilla one says. I glare and was about to say something when Puck was already in their faces. "Come again Azimio what's your deal" he spits at them. "Oh sorry Puck I forgot no one can talk to any of your girls. By the way I saw Quinn early she's looking hot today too" Azimio says. "Why don't you stop your talking before something bad happens" I open my mouth. "What was that new kid do you want to get beat up. What's your deal man are you Britt's new boy toy?" the other guy says. "You should shut your mouth now. You and Karofsky shouldn't be making threats when you know I've whooped both your ass. And keep quinns name out your mouth". Puck looks more frustrated. "Hey do you not have a voice anymore tough guy. Who is she to you man? Did you finally realize that you might get your ass handed to you if you get smart again bitch" Karofsky barks at me. "I'd like to see you try and kick his ass dickweed. If you even lift a finger to touch him I will fuck you up. And jumping someone basically means you're a coward so we will both fuck you up. And I believe you owe Brittany an apology." My brother says calmly which is not good.
"Who's going to make us you two and Puckie Boy here. Everyone knows you got lucky last time we went at it punk." Azimio scolds as he walks closer to puck. "Yea and your not so tough with your words pretty boys." Karofsky says taking off his jacket at the same time Azimio does. "You really want to do this you dickless jock bitches. I've beaten people bigger then you before." Damon says as he clutches his fists. At that point I know something bad is going to happen because Brittany is already at pucks side. "I'll show you dickless bitch. You asked for it" Azimio pushes Damon. Now he's already had enough and pushes him back harder. I get in front of my brother before he continues to beat on this idiot. "I think it's better if you guys walk to your seats or this is going to get bad. We've beat plenty of guys bigger and you don't want us both kicking your ass." I say as Damon tries to get at him while Azimio gets up to go to his seat. "This ain't over Puck. Your guys better watch your backs".
END FLASHBACK
That was fun also during lunch when they almost went at it again because these ass clowns kept talking. And now we are walking towards the front after we were introduced to Brittany's other friends. "So today was eventful. And to think I was scolded by Zack and goes to show you almost got into a fight my dear brother." I say smugly. "Whatever San. We're brothers and have the same short temper, but no one is gonna touch you on my watch. Plus you always get caught when you fight and I don't" he says laughing as I punch his arm. "So boys how was your first day?" Brittany says sweetly. "It's fine!" we both say at once. "HAHA. It's usually ok the first couple days. This place defiantly has its days man" Puck adds. "Hey Britt we should go to our meetings. Oh hey you two should try out for football. We can screw with those two idiots think about it guys" puck says as he shakes our hands. "Yea you guys should they need better players so maybe my brother doesn't have to carry the team to much. Tryouts are tomorrow at 3 see you guys there. Bye San!" Brittany says and runs to catch up with her brother.
Damon's POV
"Bye San" I tease my brother. "I think she digs you Bro" he punches me again as we walk to Zacks car when he finally showed. "Shut up bitch. How do you even know if she likes me? You can't just assume with the way she said bye she was probably being friendly dude." He says before he hops in the car. "So, how did today go? Did you enjoy it?" Zack asks as he pulls out the lot. "San's caught the eye of a very hot blonde and a couple other cheerleaders. But he's also to stubborn to admit that he has the hots for a certain Miss Brittany Gilbert" I continue to tease him more as he turns red. "Really Santiago, your scoping out founding members" Zack asks with a weird look. "You're not on a mission because of what happened in 1862. There's no way I'm letting you do that. Is that the reason you two came back?" He finishes. "Oh my god Zack that's not why we're back. Anyways Damon is crazier then I am he just won't admit it. By the way I had to pull him away two fights. Plus I don't have to explain myself to MY nephew thank you." He says. "I know it's weird, but since the town needs to think you're my nephews just keep a low profile. Just talk to me that's all I want from you two." He says and then we are pulling in to the driveway. "Yea and Damon keep your cool man. I defiantly would except it from Santiago to crack first" we all get out the car and head in the house before we have to get our cars. "I'm going to go do some homework first, and get a bite to eat" san says. "Well this is going to be an interesting night." I thought as I follow him to the kitchen.
S. POV
The second day at WMH Damon and I were able to drive to school. Zack went through with getting us both our own cars. It doesn't matter to me, but it might have been too flashy but I'm not complaining. We both picked out two high end 2012 Shelby Mustang GT 500's red/blk and blk/wht. Vamps have to ride in style you know. "Hey Santiago! Wait up" Brittany catches up with me. "You want to walk to class together since we do have first class together". "Hey Britt sure we can. I didn't know if I was going to see guys before class" I said a little bit more excited than I wanted to sound. I guess I just was matching her excitement levels this morning. "So are you guys going to tryout for Football. If you don't want football you can always try for the cheerios we need more guy cheerleaders" she ask as we get to class. "Um no thanks on the guy cheerleader, but yes on the football. We actually played some in L.A." I said as we take our seats. "That's awesome you guys are defiantly going to make the team." She replies. The rest of the day was good we still had some glares at the morons from class. I was really starting to get irritated at one point with their constant comments about Britt. It's finally time for tryouts so we start heading to the field. "You nervous San? We've done this before." Damon asks. "Nope! Not a chance. You?" I smirk at him. "Well then lets go get this done and show them up bro" He says as we step on the field.
"Finally, that was an intense tryout man" I say to puck and Damon. "Yes Coach Beiste is defiantly no joke man." He says as we approach the girls. "Hey San, Damon! How were the tryouts?" Brittany asks. "It was good. We made the team of course. Why did you doubt us?" I reply with a grin. "No doubt at all. I knew you two were going to make the team" she whips back. "Well I guess you two are like a dynamic duo and very competitive I bet?" Quinn says. "So Puck it looks like you have new football buddies now" she finishes. "It's only fair I got some friends on the team. Since you have Britt, Caroline, and your cousin on the squad" He says playfully with a kiss before she's off with her sister. Puck and Damon have exchanged numbers and are going to chill for a bit. Puck's car is in the shop so my brother is giving him a ride. "Hey San would you give me a ride home. They're going to hangout somewhere and I kind of just rather just go home if that ok with you." She asks shyly. "That's no problem Britt. I'll drive you." I answer as I lead her to my car. "See you at home San. Later Britt!" Damon yells before he's in the car. "Bye Britt! Later Santiago. Take care of my sister." Puck yells suspiciously before they drive away. "You guys have such awesome cars. And the fact that you both have one is awesome." She states. "Puck either drives me around or I have Quinn to hang out with." She says before it goes silent again.
"So what's California like? It's hotter then here, so what did you guys do for fun?" she asks breaking the silence. "Well we partied a lot and went to the beach all the time." I reply with a smile. "Cool that's why you two have such amazing tans. That Katy Perry song was right then. Cuz you two defiantly have Sunkist skin so hot that would melt a Popsicle." She's says with a hint of sarcasm. "Wow! Jokes already huh. We're not that much acquainted yet Miss Gilbert." I joke back. "Ha Ha. I just meant you're really hot with your tan is all. It's a compliment Mr. Salvatore." She says with a blush. I feel the heat rise in my face too. "Thanks! You're actually really hot to yourself Britt." I wink at her. She blushes even more. And my damn Damon might actually be right. I clear my throat "So where do you live or do we just drive around more?" I ask. "Oh take a right up here. Then the second left, and it will be the third house on the right." She says as I follow her directions. "Thanks for the ride. I'm sorry it's kind of out of the way. Your very sweet for this" she says nervously. "It's no problem really Britt. You and Puck have been nice to Damon and I these past 2 days. It' s the least I can do." I reassure her. "Your welcome. Here give me your phone real quick. "She asks and I hand her my IPhone. "What for?" I ask while she's messing with it. "Here's my number, so call me maybe. Sorry I couldn't resist that one. I have yours now we can text." She says while I got my phone back. "Yea? I will text you later I guess." She gets her things ready and opens the door. "Hey Brit?" I stop her as she looks at me. "Yea?", "Um would you like to hang out….sometime maybe not now cuz you probably have plans. Maybe sometime after school or after practice?" I ask with my voice shaky. Geez pull it together man you've talked to plenty of girls.
"Yea that would be great. I'd love to. Maybe Saturday we can make an afternoon of it" She says hopefully. "Yea we can! That would be awesome cant wait." I say excited like an idiot losing my cool. "Ok see at school thanks again for the ride." Then she's sprinting to the front door. When I got home I showered and finished my homework. My brother finally got home when I was in the kitchen having a quick bite to eat. "Hey what did you guys do for 2 ½ hours huh?" I ask while taking a sip of my drink. "Played some basketball with some friends. How was your ride with Brittany? Did you make a move yet?" I roll my eyes at my brother because I totally expect a question like that from him. "No but we are hanging out on Saturday." I smirk. "Yea, get it San. You better make a move you've only been drooling over this girl for 3 months." He says then walks away. "It will happen just give it time brother. I will make her mine in no time" I think as I'm off to bed.
So the first two weeks of school went by pretty good. My Saturday hang out with Brittany was awesome, and we've been hanging out everyday after practice and weekends. Today was as usual practice was over and Damon, Puck and I went to meet up with everyone. "Hey girls! What's up?" I ask as we approach them. "Hey guys! Quinn and I were just talking about the party at the lake today" Brittany answers. "Yes the quarry I almost forgot I told you guys about it a couple days ago." Puck says while I remember the conversation a couple days before. "Yea we're in right San?" Damon hints like if I have a choice now anyways even though I'm totally in. "Hell yea I'm in. Where's this at anyways?" I answer back. "Yea! Should we meet up at your place puck or at the lake?" Damon turns to Puck. "We can meet at our place and go in your cars. I mean you guys do have the best cars for this party" Puck says thinking about it. He totally has a point not that Pucks 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 isn't nice cuz that thing is a beast. But two mustang convertibles scream party. We all agree to this plan and we all head home to get ready. Quinn has some stuff to do with the family today so the Lockwood girls can't go. I guess it's just the Gilbert and Salvatore twins. "So you ready San? Are you excited to check out Britt in her swim suit and drool all over her…." Damon stopped his talking when we look at each other. "Um Bro really do you always have to pick the same thing as me they will never tell us apart." Damon laughs because we have the same dark red and black aero swim trunks. "Dude they can tell. We totally have different eye colors. If you haven't noticed I have green eyes and you have blue eyes. DUHH" I laugh back. Damon turns back to his room laughing and shows up like 2 minutes later with black and red aero trunks still the same style as mine. "We should start heading over there all the girls are gonna drool over us D. We are the totally package" I say to my brother as we head to the front door and head over to the Gilberts.
Once we got to the Gilberts House we had the pleasure to meet their parents. "Hello. You must be Damon and Santiago? Nice to meet you boys we've heard all good things about you two." Mrs. Gilbert says. "Nice to meet you Mrs. Gilbert. The pleasure is all ours" Damon and I charm her. Then we meet Mr. Gilbert. "So the Salvatore twins. Nice to meet you guys! I must say we haven't seen any other Salvatore's around now we have twins. It's weird how you friends with ours" He says almost threatening. "Daddy, please don't scare our friends." Brittany says with Puck right behind her. "Yea Dad they're cool". "Hey you guys ready?" Damon asks a little shaky. "Yea lets get going. Bye Mom, Dad" Puck and Brittany say bye. As usual Puck rode with Damon and Britt rode with me. We couldn't decide if we should just take one car, but again kids would totally look if both cars roar up there together. I followed Damon's car and with in like 20 mins we're at the lake.
As we pull into empty parking spots we see the lake is filled with kids from school already. "Hey guys, lets leave our shirts and stuff hear so they don't get dirty." Puck says as he folds his shirt and puts it on the front seat. He's talking to Damon as were waiting for Brittany to get her things together. As I take off my shirt and fold it to put back on my seat I caught Britt in the corner of my eye. As she's taking off her shorts off I get a good look at her swimsuit. She has an orange two-piece bikini that looked amazing on her. It defiantly complimented her long legs, and made body look all that more amazing. "You alright there San? Did you forget how to fold a shirt?" Damon says pulling me out of my trance. I look at him real quick to see a smirk on his face, and as I look back to Brittany who looks spaced herself. If I didn't know any better I'd say she was checking me out too, which I do believe she was. As I catch her eyes I also notice a small blush creep on her face. "Oh yea she was totally checking me out" I think to myself. "No I just spaced out for a sec. This place is packed." I say trying to save myself from further from embarrassment. "Yea it is we usually hangout and party a couple times a month. We actually had one before school." He says as we walk towards the other kids. We walk down towards the lake and turn towards the rest of the gang it all went down, or at least just a bump in the road. We pass the two idiots of America today, when Azimio grabs Britt's arm and she yanks it away quick "Don't touch me bitch". "Oh I like them feisty. I was just admiring your fine ass in a bikini Gilbert. You should join us since all the other cheerleaders are. We can teach you a few things." I hear him say as he tries to grab her again.
I'm already by her side pushing that dumb ass away from her "Touch her again I will break your arm." I growl in his face. Right then the other idiot tries to tackle me but Damon was faster. "Touch him I will kick your ass boy. Try it again and you will see what I mean!" He says as he pushes him back. "I would really appreciate it if you would keep the comments about my sister to yourself. Also don't you ever put your hands on her again believe me it will be the last thing you do with them. She's not interested in you two morons." Puck defends standing in front of Brittany. "I will let the fact that you guys threatened to break our arms slide this time. I would hate to ruin your faces in front of the whole school punks!" Azimio says. "Big talk for someone that puts his hands on women, but when a man steps up to you your shit." Damon steps a little closer to him. Azimio goes to punch him when Damon ducks and connects with a nice right hook. Puck is holding him back as Karofsky tries to help his friend when I push him away. "I swear son next time it will be worse you little bitch. Rethink your strategy and keep that big mouth shut. If you touch her again, or even try something like this again you will have to deal with both of us. Oh and guys my temper is worse then his, and he's a lot more patient them me." I say as we walk towards our friends. "Hey Britt are you ok? Did they hurt you" Puck says giving her a once over. "What about you bro? You good?" Damon asks me. "Yea man I'm good you of all people know that two idiots won't do shit to me. I'm straight don't worry so much relax dude." I say smugly to him. He laughs as we meet up with the others as they ask what happened. Brittany tells them everything as I lie back on my towel and put on my shades taking in some sun.
B. POV
As I'm talking to Kurt I chance it and take a glimpse at Santiago lying out with his shades. He looks even hotter with out the shirt in his swim shorts. He has these dark red with black shorts and it looks he has a tattoo on this chest. He is gorgeous in every way, and his personality is amazing, even his cool light green eyes are to die for. Him and Damon have the most toned bodies I've ever seen, but I only see him. I think they have better abs than I do even I dance and cheer. I hear Kurt clear his throat "What are you thinking about Britt? Could it be our hot new Latino friend you're obviously drooling over?" He says with a smirk. I fight off a blush and shake out the thoughts about San. "No! I'm not drooling I was just thinking about some stuff." I say honestly. "Hey! You should go talk to him. It's obvious you're into him. Go make a move and see if you have a chance, and if not he's still your friend." He says before he's off and I stay there shocked for a second. Then I walk towards him after a few minutes of thinking. "Hey San are you ok after what happened with you guys and those idiots. I think he's cooled down he's playing ball with the guys." I say as I take a seat nest to him. "Yea Britt I'm good thanks. I'm used to it to dealing with idiots believe me L.A is worse." He smiles at me. "They just don't know when to back off, and that I'm not a push over at all."
"Well then I'm glad that your brother has your back no matter what. Puck has gotten into like 4 fights with them in the past couple months." I say shyly. "Yea well I guess our brothers are the same. He used to take more and not go in until it's needed. But since everything with our parents he's gotten more protective. He knows I can handle myself." He tells me as he takes off his shades putting then on top of his head. I'm speechless almost as our eyes meet. "I guess that's how brothers are. So what do you think of this place. I know you're not surfing on the beach, but it's all we have and it's really nice this time of year." I turn back. "Do you want to go swim with me or layout for a bit more?" I ask him hopefully as he's just staring at me. "Yea let's go. Everyone else is having fun for us." He winks at me as my heart beats faster. He gets up and we're head over to the water. "Race you!" I say as I take off. He follows close behind and then passes me as jumps off a rock. He swims off as I follow for a bit, and not only is he a fast runner he's a very strong swimmer. "Hey follow me! I want to show you something." I say swimming away from the other kids somewhere secluded in the woods. We swim around the right side, and then get out and climb some rocks after a few minutes we reach the top.
We look down to all the other kids from school. "Wow. This is so cool! We can see everyone from here, and someone is taking pics of my car." He says looking down. "Yea, but this isn't what I wanted to show you come this way." I lead him farther then finally we reach it. It's a smaller waterfall that falls into the bigger one down on the quarry. It also has a pool about 9-10 feet deep. "Here we are! This is my favorite place. I usually come here for a little bit when we have these parties. I like to get away for some quiet time." I say jumping into the water and turning around to see him staring again. After a few seconds he decides to join me. "Do you always come alone? I mean don't you have a boyfriend to come her with?" He asks. "Umm yea I do always come here alone, and no I don't have a boyfriend. None of the boys are really my type, and they're all friends." I said to him and he's getting closer to me. I'm mesmerized with his movements closer to me, and all of a sudden I fell like I can tell him everything.
