I woke up the next day in a good mood. I was finally going to settle down and hoped my stay would last. The other reason I was in such a good mood was school. I know every teenager hates high school, but for me it's different.

I've never been to school more than five months because I had to move. Hopefully this time was different. I enjoy meeting new people and making friends. I like that they think I'm human like them, it brings out my humanity in a way.

I got dressed in dark blue skinny jeans, a white top and a leather jacket that I normally wear and left for school. I parked in the parking lot and felt all eyes on my car. I smirked getting out of my black porsche.

Everyone started to whisper and of course I heard every little thing they said. I loved the attention they gave me, but I had to ignore it having other things to do such as compelling the old grumpy lady that was sat on a desk filled with files and a computer.

"Hello, how may I help you?" The lady said with annoyance which angered me a little.

I gave her a sickening sweet smile and said "I would like my schedule, I'm Natalie Pierce, new girl."

She was staring at me looking bored then said "I'm sorry but you can't just start in the middle of the semester."

That was my cue. I made her look into my eyes making my pupils dilate and said "You will hand me my schedule and welcome me sweetly to the school."

The old lady repeated what I had told her and took out a sheet of paper handing it to me. "Welcome to Mystic High." This time with a smile and a nice tone.

"Thank you." I said smiling back mischievously before heading to find my locker.

Happily I found it and opened it with no problem. I felt a presence next to me,a human presence, so I glanced at them. A dark brown haired and brown eyed boy was standing next to me with a smirk on his face.

"You must be new, I would recognize someone as hot as you anywhere." He spoke up checking me out and I glared at him smacking my locker shut.

Yes I was a big flirt, but he was another story for some reason. Without answering him I left bumping into his shoulders.

"Hey, wait." He said grabbing my arm. "What's your name?"

"I would tell you after you apologize." I said sternly and waiting for it.

"What? for calling you hot?" He said smirking which made me roll my eyes. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry. Let's start over, I'm Tyler Lockwood."

Oh, the mayor's son. I could have fun with him, I thought then smiled at him and said "Natalie Pierce. So the mayor's son..."

"Yeah...What do you have next?" Tyler said checking out my schedule. "English, so do I. Come on, I'll show you."

I nodded and followed him to class. Once we reached it, there were a few people already there and I caught sight of Stefan and my sister's look alike. I smirked sitting down behind Elena.

"Hello Stefan." I said smirking.

Stefan groaned under his breath seeing as I sat behind his girlfriend and said "Hey Natalie."

"You guys know each other?" Tyler and Elena asked us the same time as he sat down next to me and behind Stefan, meaning Stefan was next to Elena.

"Yeah, childhood friends." Stefan answered before me. Weird I was about to say the same thing.

After Tyler and Elena looked at me intently, Tyler said "You know it's weird. You two look like sisters." He chuckled at what he had said and I laughed along with him.

Stefan was just looking at us amused and was about to say something, but the teacher came in. I started to wonder if Stefan had told Elena about me yet. After a while, I looked out the window spotting an all too familiar black bird, a crow.

I smirked at it giving it a small wave and it cawed. I knew it was Damon, but I didn't know why he came. I shrugged and turned back to listen to what the teacher was saying.

Classes were soon over and I had met some people like Matt, Caroline and Bonnie which kept a distance from me obviously knowing what I was. Typical witch. I knew better than to mess with one so I kept a distance as well.

Once I was out of the school and was about to get in my car I felt someone behind me. Damon. Turning around I said "Miss me already?" I smirked folding arms.

"I've lived 145 years without you, what do you think?"

"Then why are you here?" I asked curiously.

"No I really did miss you. Let's hang out." He said sounding excited, but I could sens that wasn't the real reason he was here.

"No really, what do you want?" I asked annoyed wanting nothing more than to go back home and relax. "If it's about Katherine, I know nothing Damon so leave me alone."

"It's not about her. Let's go to the Mystic Grill get a few drinks and talk. Tell me about all your adventures." He suggested opening the door of my car.

"Right, not gonna happen." I said getting in and smirked at him. "Thanks." I said for opening my door and left the parking lot.

I got home in twenty minutes and searched for my keys in my bag. I opened the door entering then went straight to the alcohol. As I was about to pour some in my glass I felt a light breeze. I quickly put the bottle down and turned around to face Damon.

"Ugh, you again. Ever heard of knocking?" I said pouring myself a drink.

"Why bother you when I can get in with no problem." He said being a smart-ass and took my glass and drinking all of its content.

"Hey!"

Damon walked up to a couch and made his self at home. "Nice place you've got here. Leather couch? Nice." He said caressing the couch.

"Damon I'm in no mood for your games just be straight with me." I groaned plopping down on the couch opposite of him.

He used his vampire speed and sat down real close to me. "Where have you been all this time? You left way before they locked the vampires in the tomb. Why did you leave?"

I sighed and explained. "I left because I knew that Gilbert was on to something, he knew about the vampires. Emily warned us, but Katherine didn't believe her. I, however, left afraid of getting killed. Katherine tried to convince me to stay, but I refused.

"I've had enough of her playing with both of your feelings obviously she hurt you more than Stefan. I tried to stop her, but she was too stubborn. I warned her about what would happen, but she didn't listen. So I took off.

"Five years later, she found me in Texas and we reunited and started to travel again."

Silence fell upon us neither attempting to break it. Eventually, Damon had to by saying "Are you sure that's the only reason you left?" He looked intently in my eyes trying to search something.

"Yeah. It's bad enough I died once." I lied hoping he hadn't noticed.

He still kept staring into my eyes, but I looked away which made him place his fingers under my chin and lift my head to meet his gaze. "Why didn't you come back?"

I didn't answer just kept staring at him. Damon asked me again, but I refused to answer again. "I can't tell you."

"Why not?" He was confused.

"I told you I wouldn't answer anything related to Katherine."

"So it has to do with Katherine?" He said smirking amused that he got something out of me.

"That's enough for today, now leave." I said pushing him to the door crossing my arms.

"Alright, I'll leave but...don't think this is over." Damon said with a wink before he left.
