Chapter One

I hate moving. The boxes, the grumpy movers, how your mother kisses you good-bye as you fling your belongings into the new apartment you'll be living in until your done with college. All of it sucks.

Luckily, my parents didn't stay long. After all the hugs, the worrying, the fussing about how my mother hated the ivy creeping up the side of the mini house's walls, they left me to unpack my belongings and get to know the neighbors.

I knew from the start I should have chosen an on-campus home. But me being me, I wanted to get away from all the cookie-cutter. My mom had advised to go meet some of the neighbors. So here I was, palms sweating – I'm not the most social person in the world, mind you – standing on someone's front porch still not sure what I was going to say.

This girl opened the door. She was a little younger than me with blonde hair and blue eyes. I smiled weakly, knowing I probably looked like I was about to faint right then and there.

"Hi?" She asked confused but covering it up quickly.

Okay, I hate meeting new people. The only time I did meet new people was when I had my best friend with me who was the only one who could translate my mumbled words.

"Um, I'm new here and I was just checking out the neighborhood," My words stumbled over each other and my voice cracked at the end.

She perked up and glanced over her shoulder. "Oh, well than you can come in if you want, I guess."

That didn't go as smoothly as I first hoped, but hey, I'm not complaining! I actually talked.

"Stefan? Can you go get Aunt Judith?" She called grabbing my softly by the wrist and leading me into the living room. My eyes bounced back and forth absorbing all the new decorations.

An older dark haired boy stepped boredly into the room; he raised his gaze to me making me feel a twinge of excitement. He smirked and reached his hand out to touch me.

"Don't you dare make any contact with her Damon," She growled tensing up. "Stefan, please hurry up!" She shouted again looking nervous.

"You're aunt's not here Elena," Damon said coolly, keeping his eyes glued on me.

Elena pursed her lips angrily and strode into the kitchen, her grip tight on my arm. "You could have told me she wasn't here," She mumbled walking over to another dark-haired boy and dropping my wrist.

I scratched nervously at my neck, "If this is a bad time I can come back later," I told them sheepishly.

"Oh no, perfect timing," I must have jumped a mile out of my skin. Since when did Damon get behind me?

He chuckled making the other boy glare threateningly, "Don't Damon." He said sternly keeping his eyes on me.

Damon smirked, moving so that was he was standing by my side. His hand reached out to wrap around my waist when a white kitten reached up and scratched my leg.

"Ow!" I cried jumping back several feet. I never liked cats, and apparently they didn't like me.

Damon grinned maliciously, "Looks like I'm not the only one who kitty doesn't like."

I rubbed my leg sheepishly, "I have a dog at home and maybe that's why she scratched me." I bent over and pulled up me pants leg where three red marks beaded down.

I felt Damon tense beside me, "If you want, I could take care of that-"

"Damon!" The other boy growled warningly and jumped over to the other side of me.

Elena paused not sure whether to be jealous or let it slide. "Maybe we should o over to Meredith's." She suggested eyeing Damon cruelly.

"That sounds like a great idea, right Stefan?" Damon smirked.

"I don't think she meant you were coming," Stefan said dryly resting his hand on my shoulder.

I looked down at the floor. "I should be getting home anyway-"

"It's fine; um what's your name?"

"Jessica," I replied simply keeping my eye on Damon and Stefan who looked like they were about to have a dog fight.

"Well, you don't have to go Jessica, Damon's always a pain in the ass," She smiled.

Stefan nodded in agreement and pulled me to the front door. I kept a wary on Damon the whole way, and it seemed like Elena was doing the same to me.
