Chapter 1
„Here's your schedule. Enjoy your day." The officer smiled up at me.
„Thanks." I walked out of the office and tried to walk through the hall full of students staring at me. Matt was right. Mystic Falls is a small town and everyone knows when someone new is here. I hated it, the way people were looking at me, checking me out like some kind of a meal. I looked down at my schedule. History. Not my favourite subject but not the worst.
„Beth!" Someone called my name. I turned around and found Matt making his way towards me.
„Matt!" I tried to put on some smile. „Hey, how is it going so far? Do you know where's your first class?" Matt asked me politely.
„It's fine." I answered his first question. „..and I'm a little lost here. I'm supposed to be in History class with Mr. Saltzman, but I have no idea where should I look for him."
„Well, you've got lucky day because I have History now too. I'll show you and you can meet with my friends." He started to lead me down the hall.
We enetered the classroom and Mr. Saltzman was waiting for his studants to come. „Mr. Saltzman, this is our new classmate." Matt said. „Hey, I'm Bethany Dawn." I smiled and tried to put on a brave face. „I'm Mr. Saltzman. You can sit down and wait for the class to begin or if you want to say something about yourself, you can. I'm not pushing you into something you don't want to." His words and smile made me a little bit more comfortable.
„Thank you, but I think I'll sit over there and wait." I gave him a grateful smile.
During the lesson I found out that Mr. Saltzman was a great teacher. He was sypathetic and nice towards his studants. I dozed off into my thoughts about yesterday. I don't think like I can live with him anymore. When I looked at myself in mirror today I found bruises on my arms that he caused me. With every other day I feel emty. Empty that I don't even think I can feel something. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the bell. I took my stuff and walked out of the classroom.
„Hey Beth, are you ok? You seemed a little bit off back there." Matt asked me.
„What? No, I'm ok, just a little bit tired." I assured him. Matt nodded.
„So, I want you to meet my friends." He pointed on some group of people. I was feeling nervous again.
„Guys, I'd like to introduce you Beth, Beth this is Elena, Stefan, Bonnie, Tyler, and of course Caroline." With that he pecked Caroline on her cheek.
„Hey, nice to meet you all." I gave them nervous wave.
„You too, how do you like this town so far?" The brunette girl Elena asked me.
„The town is fine small but nice." I smiled. „Don't you wanna come with us to the Grill after school?" Bonnie asked. „Yeah we could show you around, get to know each other?" Caroline said eagerly.
„Caroline slow down, you don't want to scare the girl." Tyler joked and I laughed. „No, that's ok. I'd love that."
We sat in the Grill and talked. I found out that Elena and Stefan were together, Matt and Caroline too, but I knew that already. Elena was the girl every guy desired to have. She was nice and caring. Bonnie was the sweet and innocent girl but a great friend for everyone. Caroline was enthusiastic and eager but that's what is unique about her. Matt was nice and polite, I knew that yesterday already. Tyler wasn't with us but that wasn't bothering me right now. I could get to know him some other time. And the last person in the gang is Stefan. He is good looking and he seems nice too, but there's something mysterious about him.
„So Beth, tell us something about you. You know almost everything about us. It's your turn now." Caroline asked.
„What do you want to know?" I asked them and sipped from my drink.
„Where did you move from?" was Caroline's first question. „South Carolina."
„Hobby?" Another question. „Drawing and jogging."
„Any boyfriend left behind?"
„Caroline!" Elena elbowed her side with an amused smile over her friend. I laughed at them a little.
„No." I answered eventually.
„Siblings?" And there it was. I looked down at my drink. „I had older sister." I said quietly. „Had?" Caroline asked me with some concern in her voice and Elena gave me a sympathetic look.
„She died with my mom in a car accident." I looked up to them. „This always kills the conversation." I gave a sad smile.
„Beth, I'm so sorry. I didn't know. Sometimes I just.." Caroline started to apologize but I stopped her. „No, Caroline it's ok. You didn't know guys. I'm not mad or anything. It's just hard to talk about it." I told them.
After this we had normal conversation about some stuff. They told me that there would be a Miss Mystic Falls soon and they want me to come. So I agreed on coming and helping Elena and Caroline to pick their dresses. By now I was in my room looking for my earphones. I din't want to be in the same house with him. I haven't spoken a word with him since yesterday. So I left the house and jogged towards the wood.
When I ran back it was getting dark already. One of my earphones slipped out of my ear. I swear a heard something. I stopped dead in my tracks and listened. I heard another branch broke. I turned around but no one was there.
„Hallo?" I tried to call into the wood. „Is anyone there?"
Nothing, I was met by silence. I wanted to get the hell away from here but I was met with a hard chest. I was startled.
„We really need to stop bumping into each other like this." The stranger gave me a mischievous smirk.
I know this chapter is kind of boring but I had to do all the meeting with Beth and the gang. In another chapter she'll get to know the older Salvatore brother and there will be some action too :)
