A/N: So this is my first fan fic and I hope you enjoy. The idea of this came to me from a real life experience I shared with someone, but I decided to make it more romantic.

It's a new year. I know I'm only In ninth grade but…..I know it's going to be absolutely amazing. At least I was hoping..

I waited for my best friend, Bonnie, to get here. We've only known each other since sixth grade but she's the longest friend that has ever lasted for me. No one wants to be around poor, lonely, awkward Elena Gilbert. There have been way worse words but..I don't want to talk about that.

I was sitting on a square table when suddenly this boy I had never seen before walked past me. I didn't know his name but I instantly knew I was hooked. He had this pale skin, but not too pale to scare you. He had these beautiful icy blue eyes. The kind that made you want to melt right in front of him. And his beautiful dark hair. He was handsome, yet I didn't even know his name.

Ninth Grade was off to a good start.

Finally! Bonnie was here. She came up to me and gave me a huge hug and said, "if we're not in the same class…I'm murdering someone!" she teased and we both laughed as we walked to our class.

I walked in and looked around at the people right in front of me. I recognized all of them from last year. And I mean ALL of them, but then I looked to where I was going to sit and saw a face that made my heart do a flip. It was that boy again.

Bonnie caught me staring at him and whispered, "That Kol guy is cuter and we both know it." But I disagreed. I bit my lip and walked over to my seat and sat by him.

"Hi. I'm Damon Salvatore," He smirked at me. His voice was deeper than I had expected it to be. I mean, we ARE in ninth grade. Some kids still haven't hit puberty yet.

I smiled back and quietly replied, "I'm Elena Gilbert"

With one look in his eyes, I was lost in a maze and I knew I would never find my way out. I didn't mind though. I looked away and reached in my backpack for my binder and I set it on my desk. I kind of went a little crazy and decorated it myself.

"Cool binder." He laughed but not in a hurtful way. He laughed in a way where I knew he intrigued. Not by the binder, but by Me. The thought of it made my heart Blow up with fireworks.

"Hey guys," said the teacher. "I'm Alaric Saltzman, but you can call me Ric." He was laid back, and obviously trying to act younger than he was, but I didn't mind. He seemed nice.

Tick Tock. Tick Tock. We went through the whole year's curriculum and finally my wish came true…. The bell rang for lunch. All the kids ran out, including Bonnie, but I knew why she left. She left so Mr. Salvatore and I could be the last two left. Even Mr. Saltzm- I mean, even Ric left.

I decided to break the silence and said, "So…were you here last year?'

"Yeah, were you?'

I simply nodded.

"You seem really quiet."

"I'm definitely NOT quiet. Just ask the kids in my class last year." I smiled and grabbed my bag.

With that, we both walked out together. Well, not Together, but at the same time.

I was right. This was going to be a good year.

A/N: So, I know this was short, but tell me what you think. I have one question though, Do you want The same day but from Damon's point of view? Thank you and I'll try and update as much as possible. And don't worry, this story isn't going to go by slowly. Some drama will happen.
