As soon as Elena reached the parking lot, her 'usual crowd' surrounded her, making her invisible to the rest of the world. Everyone was talking all at once. Although, Elena didn't notice anyone but her best friends.
Bonnie was the first to approach her of the two. "Elena!" she squealed. "I missed you!" She said, as she flung her arms around Elena, giving her a tight hug.
When Bonnie stepped back a little, Elena examined her. As always, Bonnie was on her tip-toes, desperately trying to make her petite self seem taller. Although, today Bonnie was doing an incredibly improved job. Elena looked up, and noticed Bonnie's hair was different.
Her strawberry curls now had a bang, which Elena noticed she was fluffing up, to add a precious half-inch to her height. "Bonnie," Elena began. "I love your hair!"
Bonnie smiled at the compliment. "Thanks!" And of course added, "I think it makes me look taller!" Elena giggled slightly at Bonnie's hatred for her size.
Elena now glanced at her other friend. Meredith was waiting patiently for Elena's attention. Elena took a step towards her, and she soon found herself in a comfortable hug, not too tight and not too loose.
"Mered-" Elena began, but stopped when she saw the most expensive car she's ever seen pull into the parking lot, behind Meredith's back. "Look!" Elena pointed to the black sports car.
Everyone, including the forgotten crowd around them turned to admire it. Elena could hear the beginning of some serious gossip, a hobby Elena would definitely be so courteous to take part in.
Meredith turned back to Elena. "Maybe Matt finally turned in his wreck?" She suggested.
Just then, as to prove Meredith's suggestion wrong, a handsome unfamiliar boy, no man, stepped out of the car. Even wearing sunglasses that completely hid his eyes, he made the car look ugly in comparison to his devastatingly good looks. Matt's looks were cute, but Elena knew at once the owner of this car was not Matt.
For one, Matt's hair was a wavy light blonde, and the mysterious new guy had completely black hair. It wasn't even dyed that way, somehow Elena could tell that it was naturally that way. It was fine and straight. It was combed to perfection, neater than any guy's hair Elena had ever saw.
The new student was shorter than Matt, but somehow he looked like he could easily win a fight with anyone here, most likely not even trying. There was something about him that Elena couldn't quite put her finger on. She had acknowledged that he seemed dangerous, but he appeared so much more complex than that.
Then, Elena immediately remembered the little "game" her and her best friends always played, when dealing with cute guys. "Mine!" She sang, causing her friends whine at the loss of a potential boyfriend.
After a couple more minutes of studying Elena's new love interest, the warning bell chimed, and Elena rushed of to class with a friend on either side of her.
Although, Elena couldn't help but keep glancing back in the mysterious new guy's direction, and she noticed something that at first, she didn't believe.
As he took off his sunglasses Elena saw that his eyes were also, completely black, and bottomless.
