A/N: Hey. There's been a few problems with this story because of the html.
Chapter II: Pulling a 'Stefan'
After leaving Mystic Falls I headed west, with no destination in mind- that was a few days ago. After driving day and night, with almost no stops, I ended up in California. I thought that after 500 years of being white as a ghost I needed to get a tan- however I couldn't just hide in a big city. Big towns, although somewhat easy to hide because of the number of people, also meant a lot of vamps searching for easy snacks and I wanted to be as far as possible from the supernatural at the moment.
And so, I ended up here. Beacon Hills. When I came across this town my first thought was 'What a fucking stupid name for a little hidden town!'. This town wasn't that well known, at it was quite small and as such it was the perfect place for a ex-vamp as me to hide from crazy vengeful hybrids and the like.
Using the money I had stolen from Amelia I bought myself a small comfy house, which was the opposite of the houses I normally used. I was a mansion girl, or at the very least a big house girl but comfy small house didn't scream 'The Katherine Pierce lives here!' and that was what I was looking for.
Since I hadn't spent that much on the house I decided to burn all of the clothes I had taken from Amelia, since the skank had no fashion taste, and went to the nearest shopping mall to go on a shopping spree.
While looking for something decent on a shop called 'Macys' I noticed a couple fighting. 'Ugh Humans!' I thought, forgetting the fact that I was now one of the pathetic creatures called humans.
"Lydia get you ass in the car, I am not staying in this damned store another hour!" The boy said. He had green eyes, dark spiky hair, the body of an athlete and looked like he was seriously pissed of.
"Jackson, I need to buy some summer clothes!" The girl, apparently called Lydia replied, as she continued to search the store, not bothering to even look at the green eyed guy whose name was apparently Jackson. "I'm planing on going to the beach this summer, and I need a bikini for that, or do you want me to go naked?"
"No freaking way!" Jackson growled, as she grabbed her wrist forcefully and tried to drag her from the store by force.
Annoyed with the noise I started walking in their direction, making them both look at me as I reached them. "Could you let go of her wrist? Man-handling can get you into prison you know and doing it in a public place full of women can get you into a hospital from getting beaten with classy handbags and stiletto shoes." I drawled as I sent the boy, Jackson, or better yet- Jackass, a glare.
"Whatever!" Jackass growled before quickly leaving the store after glaring daggers at me.
The strawberry blonde girl stared at his back with a shocked look before turning and glaring at me. "What did you do that for? Our fight was none of your business!" She said loudly, as she kept looking at me with disdain.
I sighed, "Brats these days, ugh!".
"I did that because you were being man-handled by your tool of a boyfriend who was stopping you from going on a shopping spree." I replied, as if it was the most obvious thing in the word. Because seriously, it was. "I've killed men for less. A man can't stop a woman from shopping, he should just stay still and bring out the money when it's time."
The green eye girl stared at me for a minute before grinning at me like a crazy woman. "I thought you had meddled because you were one of those self-righteous bitches. After all you are just a shopaholic with a killer fashion sense." She said, as she took my outfit in. I hadn't burned all of Amelia's clothes since I needed something to wear while shopping, so out of all the ugly outfits I had actually found a decent purple dress and a black leather jacket; for shoes I kept the boots I had on when Elena shoved that cure down my throat.
"You know what?" The red head continued. "I think we're going to be great friends. I'm Lydia Martin by the way. You're new in Beacon Hill's right? I've never seen you before."
I forced the need to roll my eyes at the human and gave her a smile. One of the ways to make sure I wasn't found was to act normal and acting normal meant having friends. Normally I would use compulsion, but now I actually had to make a effort to have fake friends. "I'm Katherine. Katherine Pierce. And yes, I'm new here."
"You're a sophomore right? You transferring to Beacon Hill's high? You can go to lacrosse games with me!" Lydia asked, excited.
"Sophomore?" I asked, uncertain. If I passed as a student I would look more normal, although It would take some work to get fake papers and some imaginary parents. I sighed, 'I can't believe I'm pulling a 'Stefan' with the whole i'm-a-student-even-though-I'm-old-to-be-everyone's-great-grama'.
"Yes." I finally said. "I'm a sophomore, although I haven't done the transfer yet."
"Great!" Lydia replied, smiling. "Now, let's go have our crazy shopping spree."
Katherine, the high school student. 'Ugh.'
I got home a few hours later, carrying a bunch of shopping bags. 'I miss my strength and using compulsion to have someone to carry my bags.'.
After putting the clothes in the wardrobe, I sat down in front of the computer I had just bought and started creating fake papers for the school transfer. I was really glad that I had taken that IT course in college that time that I decided that hiding in school was the perfect cover up .
After that done and printed, I got my ass to bed and passed out from exhaustion.
The next morning I drove up to the high school and almost killed myself after looking at it. I couldn't believe that I was doing this. I wouldn't be able to deal with all the human teenage drama and the like, it would be like Elena drama- but three times worse.
However, being Katherine Pierce meant I didn't give up. Even If the plans got ruined I would just pull another card out of my deck. At me moment the plan was to get into the pathetic high school, make friends like a normal teenager and stay hidden from Klaus and all the others I screwed over during the centuries.
If I didn't get into the school with my fake papers, I would just give Elena's name and say I'm her. If I didn't make friends with the humans I would just pretend to be a loner or something. If Klaus or any of my enemies found out where I was I would just run like hell.
So, having all my plans in order I started walking towards the entrance of the building ignoring the urge to hit my head against a wall.
A/N: If you hadn't noticed this is before Scott got bit by Peter so this is in season 1. Also, I've decided to write small chapters instead of long ones because it's easier for me to actually force myself to write.
