Elena's POV

Things have calmed down since last week…..no more vampire trouble. Well at least for now anyway. It's the town's annual carnival day, and lots of people from towns nearby have come to join in. I'm glad that things around here can be normal, even if it is just for a little while. Stefan and Damon are on the lookout, as always, checking to see if anything goes wrong. Stefan and I broke up recently, and it's been awkward between us. I just found out that I wasn't into guys, that I was fooling myself because I didn't want to admit the truth…..I didn't want to say it out loud and have people looking at me differently. But now everyone knows, and I guess I have to get used to people looking at me differently. Stefan totally understood, and supported me. Damon actually took it really well, and even said that they good go girl hunting together. That's so Damon, he can make you feel better just by acting like a goof, but sometimes it's his attitude that gets us into trouble. A van pulled up at the parking lot, and I saw Stefan and Damon tense up. A few girls got out. One looked like a model, with blonde hair and a body to kill for. The other was tall and skinny, with light brown hair. The smallest one of them had black curly hair, but the last one was so beautiful and had tanned olive skin, black hair that cascade over her shoulders, and a very strong build, a bit like an athlete's or a swimmer's build.

"Hmmmm, looks like you've got your eye on the tan, tall and hot brunette girl. Emily's her name just in case you were wondering."

"Damon, it's rude to listen in on other people's conversation!"

"Hey, chill out, I got you her name didn't I, and don't deny you weren't wondering what it is, because I saw the way you looked at her."

"Damon's right….why not go talk to her Elena?"

"Guys, I don't even know her, and besides, she's got friends with her, I don't think she'd want to talk to me."

"That's it, come on Stefan, looks like we're doing this the hard way." Before I knew it, Damon had me on his back with Stefan walking beside him. I punched and punched, and yelled, but they wouldn't listen. Before I knew it I was placed on the ground, and was about to smack him in the face before he turned me round and I facing all of the girls, looking like a complete idiot with my hair all over the place, and my breathing shallow. "Uh hi, sorry to interrupt, but my friend Elena…just wanted to know where you're from and what your names are. Okay, I'll leave you to it Elena, come on Stefan."

My mouth hung open, and I glared at them. They all stood there…..looking at me, and I smiled. "So sorry about that, uh….I was just wondering where you're from, I've never seen you around here before, usually I recognize people because they come here every year, but you guys are new. Sorry, uh….let me introduce myself, hi, I'm Elena Gilbert, one of the founders family, and those two idiots were Stefan and Damon."

"Oh, hey, I'm Hannah, this is Aria, Spencer, and that is Emily."

"Hey, it's uh….nice to meet you guys". I smiled at each one of them, and my eyes landed on Emily. She caught my stare and blushed, looking down at her shoes. I bit my lip, when I realized that I needed to go and help with Bonnie setting up the decorations. "Anyways, I've got to go, need to help my friend set up some more of the decorations before it really does get crowded. Bye, I'll uh….see you later. Damon and Stefan were leaning against a tree, laughing. I glared at the both of them and slapped their shoulders. "Never do that again…..I looked like a total idiot, and just…..damn it, don't do it again….that's all I have to say to you two. Ahhhhh!"

"Chill Elena, they think your cool…..ooo, and btw Emily is gay too, so hooray."

"Damon, I told you not to listen to other people's conversations, it's very rude."

"Oh come on, it's not rude if they don't know, and besides…..they're still going on about you. That Hannah chick recognized the way you looked at Emily, and now she's going to try and get the two of you alone together. Isn't that a bonus?"

"What, really? What else is she saying?"

"Nope, you said it's rude….so bye." He walked off and I stomped my foot angrily on the ground. I hated it when he did that, always using what I said against me. It's so irritating. "In case you were wondering….the rest of the girls now that you totally went there to check out Emily. Oh and Hannah says it was obvious." I smiled at Stefan and bit my lip. He stood there smirking at me before he walked off to go have some fun. I guess now that they know there same to be around him and Damon can relax, for once. I walked up to Bonnie, who was already almost finished, and I frowned. "Bonnie, you should have waited for me; I could've helped you with those."

"Elena, its fine….besides, Damon told me what happened. So, you have a crush huh?" I blushed, and she laughed at me. I always give away things when I blush, and Bonnie was the first one to notice that. "So where's the girl then, I need to see if she's worthy of my friends beauty." I pointed to the direction behind me, to the girl sitting on the bench next to her friends, trying out some carnival food. "Damn girl, you've got great taste…..I don't normally say this, but if I were gay, I'd totally go for her, she's hot!" Smiling I looked back at her and she looked at me. Again she blushed and I was happy that I have that effect on her.

"She most certainly is, but after today, I might not see her again. There only going to be here for the carnival." Bonnie looked at me sympathetically. She knew how I felt…it's hard to be with someone, let alone like someone when you've gotten yourself in a vampires mess. Well, not just vampires, but werewolves and witches too. "See, now that's where your wrong, I'll give you some good news, Emily is actually moving here because her mum got offered a better job, better than the one in Rosewood." Damon was leaning against the tree looking as smug as always, and I just shook my head, he just never listens. But he was right; to me that was good news. "So you could really thank me now….come on say it."

"Fine, thank you…..and tell Stefan I said thank you too."

"So, what are you going to do about it?"

"Sorry, what do you mean what am I going to do about it? I'm obviously going to well, talk to her then….."

"Yeah, talk to her…..then what, are you going to ask her out, or look at her longingly in the distance."

"Bonnie shut up…..I'm gonna ask her out, but I'm going to get to know her first, I don't want her to think I'm a freak. But I'm nervous….I've never asked a girl out before, I've never even kissed a girl before, I'm so gonna mess up!"

"Elena, chill out…..dating a girl is just like dating a guy okay. The only difference is gender. Oh, don't turn round, there looking this way."

"What they are, oh…what should I do, should I wave?"

"No, act cool; don't look to eager…..just act chill." I rolled my eyes, and just helped her put up the rest of the decorations. My body wanted to turn round and just bask in her beauty, I could feel her eyes, well there eyes on me. Okay Elena, just calm down, don't just turn round now, otherwise they might think your weird or something. "Okay, they've stopped now…you can chill, man you need to learn how to relax more often. I mean I l know we've been battling vampires and stuff, so I guess it's hard, but get rid of that feeling you have."

"What feeling? I don't know what you're talking about?"

"Elena, you're always stiff, as if something's about to wrong, or someone is about to get hurt. You need to relax okay, this is a carnival with lots of people, they won't be stupid enough to just turn up and start sucking the life out of people. They need to keep themselves hidden remember, and besides, another thing is, it's daylight, as far as we know, only Damon and Stefan can walk out in the sun because of their rings."

"I know, I know, you're right, but I can't help it. And now that someone new is moving here, I can't help but feel more terrified. What if she gets hurt, what if she dies? I can't handle another death Bonnie, there's been too much of those lately."

"I know, but today is just a normal day. So you could chill out and just have fun like a normal teenager. By the way, what's the girl's name, the one that you like, Damon never told me what her name was?"

"Oh, her name is Emily….apparently she's from a town called Rosewood, do you know where that is?"

"Rosewood, uh…..yeah I do, I've been there before. A friend of my dad lives there, and when I was young he took me their because his friend was throwing a get together party. It's a small town, kind of like ours. So, do you know when she's moving to town?"

"Oh, uh….no, but I don't think it's today, I mean I don't see a truck with all her stuff in it. She's probably gonna move in a couple of days or something."

So, what do you guys think? Good bad? I need reviews pls. I know this is, another story….again and I haven't finished my other ones, lol but I've got a lot of time to spare. I've got some time of school…..so pls review. Any suggestions on what could happen next?
