Dear Diary,

Today will be a good day. It is the first day of my senior year at Mystic Falls High School. It has been a rough few weeks, struggling with the move here and everything. I will have a fresh start here, new friends, and maybe even a new guy in my life. I hope. The best part of starting fresh though is no one knows my secret...I'm a vampire! It is definitely going to be hard to fit in with my secret. I have plans though...and I will be successful

I woke up at 6:00 am to the sounds of birds chirping and the sun was lighting up my room. Luckily I have this ring on my finger or I would be ashes by now! I hopped up and I put on my black spandex shorts and pink sports bra and went downstairs. I grabbed my headphones and i went for a jog in the woods. I am so hungry i haven't fed in 2 days. I see a camper in the woods. I think to myself...how stupid being all by yourself in the woods

I feel the veins forming under my eyes and my teeth lowering from my gums. I slowly let my vampire face settle back to my normal face. I walk over to the camper and ask for directions...He doesn't know what he is in for. I look him in the eyes and say, " You will not make a sound... understand?" He nods. I lunge at his throat ripping into it viciously. He is struggling against me, but i love the struggle. After being a vampire for over 700 years... i have an advantage over pretty much everyone even though i am in the body of a 16 year old. After a few minutes i can feel the life draining out of him. I wipe my mouth and jog away. Note to self- get blood-bags...wouldn't want to be killing everyone in this tiny town.

As i am jogging back to my house i hear a twig crack in the dead silence...i am being watched. I don't hear a heartbeat so it must be a vampire. I use my speed and flash over to my stalker and grab her by the neck ...it is none other than the famous Katherine Pierce.

"Hello Katherine..its been a while. How is my favorite vamp?" I let go of her neck smirking and hug her. She replies,"Well well Rachel you haven't changed at all. And i am doing great. I have missed you Rachel."

I reply," You are probably wondering what i am doing in Mystic Falls right?" She nods and i continue "It all comes to one little word...Salvatore"

She then smirks and says,"Damon, i am guessing? Have you come to win his heart over? Does he even remember you?"

"Yes, that is the exact reason i am here. The Salvatore brothers do not remember me at all, remember Elijah compelled them for me."I continue "No one knows who i am except for you."

Katherine replies," Your secret is safe with me, i better get going though i have a doppelganger to impersonate. I'll catch up with you later Rach." She quickly speeds off leaving me standing there.

I speed back to my house and up to my room. Shit! i only have 20 minutes to get ready for my first day of school. More like my thousandth.

I shower and quickly get ready. Today i am wearing dark skinny jeans and a dark red laced corset top. I top it off with my black leather jacket and my black heels. I curl my long blonde hair and apply eyeliner and mascara. It really makes my blue eyes pop. I grab my purse, phone, and keys and head out to my car. I drive a black and red Shelby gt500. I drive fast to the high school.

When i arrive i get out of the car and walk to the administration office. The secretary shows me my schedule that i requested i had all my classes with Elena Gilbert and Stefan Salvatore. My first class is history with Mr. Saltzman. I walk in and everyone stares at me and all the boys whistle. UGH such pigs! I sit in the seat right next to Elena. Elena speaks up and says," Hi I'm Elena Gilbert." I politely reply and say," Hi nice to meet you i'm Rachel Moore." She smiles and we talk for the rest of class telling me about how i will get along with all her friends name Caroline,Bonnie,Matt, Tyler, Stefan, who is her boyfriend, and Jeremy who is her brother. We talk about how her parent died recently and how her and Stefan met. She also invites me to the party tonight at the Salvatore Boarding House for the first day of school celebration.

Class is over and now its lunch time and she makes me sit with her and all her friends, including Stefan. My plan is working great

They all politely introduce themselves and Caroline is already clinging to me asking me all these questions like, "Do you want to go shopping? Can you come to the grill?Do you have a boyfriend?Why'd you move?" My head is about to explode.

Then Stefan introduces himself and says," Hi Rachel , I'm Stefan it's nice to meet you." I reply,"It's nice to meet you too!" I smile and in my head i'm thinking i know you already i used to be your best friend

Anyways school ends and i go home and relax for a while before the party.

I think to myself I am finally going to see my Damon after like 80 years!
