I stared at myself in the mirror. My wavy blond hair fell perfectly over my shoulders.My outfit matches perfectly. I wore my favorite teal skater dress with a cream colored cardigan. My stomach turned with my mix of nervousness and excitement. I haven't been on a real date in years and this was finally my chance. I recently moved back to Mystic Falls. I've been a drifter for a few years now just drifting from town to town trying to find the perfect place to call home. The desperate search led me back to my real home where I belong. I've always wanted a boyfriend since I was a little girl. I just wanted someone to make me feel special and like well I matter in this messed up world. After being in Mystic Falls for about a week or so I finally saw someone that caught my eye. It happened last Friday night. It was a fairly normal night and I was getting quite lonely just being cooped up in my apartment. I decided to explore around the town. The town was pretty much the same as I remembered. Some shops changed along with some of the homes, but most of it was just as I remembered. I walked down the streets looking from side to side at the town's new features. So interesting by the new town I wasn't looking where I was going. Then before I could see a biker flew out from around the corner and slammed right into me. I fell to the ground.
"Oh my goodness! I'm so sorry! I wasn't looking!" Said a boy as he extended out his hand to help me up. He was about my age around 15 or 16. He had dark brown eyes and chocolate brown hair. I smiled at him.
"It's ok it's my fault I wasn't watching." I said. I could feel my cheeks turning red. I looked him up and down he didn't look half bad. I could see him starting to blush a bit too.
"My names Dakota" I said, reaching out for a handshake. He nodded and smiled.
"I'm Jeremy." He said, shaking my hand. "I haven't seen you before, are you new here?" He asked.
"Yeah I just moved back." I said. That night we chatted for a bit and got to know each other. Since then we have been on a few dates to the movies and the Grill but nothing too serious. After about a month and a half we decided to become a couple. Tonight I was going to their family dinner. I was nervous to meet his sister and her boyfriend. I looked in the mirror one last time to make sure I looked perfect. I saw two headlights approaching up my driveway. He jumped out of the car and headed for my door. I opened it smiling.
"Ready?" Jeremy asked, smiling softly
