I woke up to the sun shining in through the window of my new bedroom; I forgot to close the binds. I didn't get much sleep in my new home. I couldn't stop thinking about the new information I received from Elena my twin sister. My twin sister the thought of it still stocks me. I always felt incomplete but I thought that might be because I always knew I was adopted. I knew Bill and Susan weren't my real grandparents somehow I always knew.
I decided to take a shower and get ready. I wanted to be early for my first day at Mystic Falls High School, up till now I've been home schooled. I never even have been inside a High School. I see movies and TV shows but I doubt High School is anything like that it would be too much fun. I wasn't worried I could handle myself if I came across a "mean girl".
When I got down stairs Elena and Alaric was already in the kitchen having a cup of coffee. "Good morning." I said as I entered the kitchen.
"Good morning Sarah how did you sleep?" Elena asked sipping her coffee.
"It was a long night but I got a few hours of sleep." I answered.
"I hope you have enough energy for school." Alaric said fatherly.
"I'm sure I do." I said smiling.
"Do you want to ride with me to school or are you taking your car?" Elena asked as she grabbed her bag.
"I'll ride with you today, I have no idea where the school is and my GPS needs an update. I'll just get my things in met you in your car." I said heading back upstairs.
"Okay." Elena called from the kitchen.
I grabbed my school bag and my mini automatic crossbow and put it in my bag. I wanted to be prepared just in case this town had vampires. I would have to do some research on this town and find out.
The drive to school was quite not awkward quite just quite because both minds where deep in thought. Elena was thinking hard about something, but I didn't ask.
"Here we are Mystic Falls High School." Elena said proudly.
"Thanks for the ride; I'm sure I will be able to find my way tomorrow." I said exiting Elena's car.
"I'll walk you too the main office." Elena said closing the driver door.
"Thanks again, for everything."
"No problem you are family, remember."
Elena walked me to the main office and went her own way. I walked up to the desk, small fragile old women with fizzy salt and pepper hair was staring at a computer typing ridiculously slowly. I hoped this wouldn't take long. I couldn't wait to experience high school. Years of teaching from my "Grandparents" was such a bore.
"Excuse me, Miss my name is Sarah Petrova and I am a need student here is my registration papers along with my medical information." I said politely.
"Hello dear, let me have those." She said reaching for my paper work. "Everything seems to check out and a 4.0 GPA brains and beauty. I don't see why you can't start today. Let me get your schedule and locker number and combination code"
"Thank you." I said checking the time on my phone; I must have missed maybe fifteen minutes of class.
"Here you go dear, you have a nice day." She said handing me my schedule and locker information.
"Thank you again." I said leaving the office looking at my schedule. I had AP English, AP Math, AP History, lunch, and gym I had no complaints. I walked towards the lockers trying to find mine.
"Elen-, I'm sorry I thought you were someone I know." A tall jock looking boy with blonde hair said walking up to me.
"That's okay, my name is Sarah and I think you mistaken me for Elena my twin sister, I guess I will get that a lot today."
"Oh, I didn't know Elena had a sister, my name is Matt."
"Yeah, it was a stock to her too."
"Hey, do you need help finding your locker or your class?"
"Yes, please that would be great."
A few more turns and we were in front of my locker. Matt waited as I put my bag in my locker. He was staring at me like I was an alien, I know he wasn't trying to be rude just curious.
"Your class is just two doors down; I got to go I don't want to be late for class. Anything else you need just ask me I sure I'll see you again today Sarah." Matt said walking away with a smile.
"Thank you again Matt." I said closing my locker holding a notebook and my schedule.
The rest of my day went by smoothly despite the stares, questions and whispers. I was prepared for it, I could handle it. A few students asked me questions some were nice and some were rude. I just wanted the day to be over. I walked in to my AP History class and everyone stopped talking, moving, maybe even breathing. It was uncomfortable I could feel my checks turn red. Elena didn't like the attention either.
"Sarah, take any seat." Alaric said clearing his throat.
The whispers started again. I wasn't paying attention to the kids. I was focused on the lesson Mr. Saltzman was teaching history about Mystic Falls something I wanted to learn about. Something about founding family members the Gilberts being one of them. I wouldn't have to go far to get information I could just ask Elena.
The bell rang and it was my lunch hour. I grabbed my things and walked out the class. Elena and two other girls were standing outside the class waiting for me I guessed.
"This is Sarah, my fraternal twin sister." Elena announced to the girls. "Sarah this is Bonnie and Caroline my best friends."
"It is nice to meet the both of you." I said.
"Wow Elena she looks like you, but not like Katherine. How is that possible?" Caroline asked as we walked to the lunchroom.
"I have no idea." Elena said.
"Maybe she's not a doppelganger." Bonnie said.
Who is Katherine, and what is a doppelganger I wondered as I followed them to the line for food. We sat outside with are food.
"Who's Katherine." I asked.
"Katherine is my ancestor." Elena answered trying to find the words.
"What is a doppelganger?"
"Me." Elena answered. "Is it okay if Bonnie drives you home there is something I have to handle before I go home?"
"Sure, if it's not a problem for Bonnie."
"Not at all." Bonnie chimed.
The ride back home was painfully quite. Bonnie didn't talk I didn't talk. It was weird. This town was something else. Everyone seems to have secrets. I could understand because I had my own secrets. Some I didn't want known and some I was dying to tell.
I thanked Bonnie for the ride and headed up to my room to start some homework. I promised myself to tell Elena some of my secrets to gain her trust.
I have no idea on the order of classes I made it up. Please comment. I guess I will continue with this story. I don't know how long it will be.
