"Elena! Get up, it's your first day of high school. Damon's picking you up in 30 minutes." my mum shouted up the stairs, what she didn't know is that I have been awake for over an hour now, getting ready. It was first day of high school and I have to make a good impression, plus I haven't seen Damon in over 6 weeks. Our first ever summer apart and I missed him so much, another plus is that we were finally going to the same school again. I straighten my hair and put a bit of mascara and lip gloss on. I run down the stairs to see my little brother making a mess of the kitchen again and mum telling him off. I grabbed a slice of toast from the middle of the table, then made myself a cup of tea. "I want you back here straight after school, I need you to look after your brother tonight." mum ordered. "Fine, but Friday I can't because that new vampire film is out and Damon said him and his mates were going to watch it and his letting me go with them." I answered back and watched her roll her eyes, while shaking her head "Try making your own friends today, Elena." I finished drinking my tea just as the doorbell went off, I jumped off my chair, kissed my little brothers head while grabbing my bag "Also good luck today." I heard my mum shout as I walked towards my front door, I opened it to find Damon but he was different, he had grown taller, his hair was darker, he looked attractive. He was wearing a tight white t-shirt which showed off his muscles he must have gotten over the summer, ripped jeans and a black leather jacket. He smirked at me "Earth to Elena, I can see some dribble." he laughed, I blinked and rolled my eyes "You wish." he then hugged me tightly "Come on, you don't want to be late on your first day."
Walking through the gates were the car park I started to panic, what if nobody likes me, what if I'm a loser. I then felt Damon's hand on my arm to stop me "You're going to be fine, plus if anyone picked on you they would see this fist in their face." he whispered, just like he could read my mind. Then I heard a group of older people walking towards us, I recognised one of the girls since she was Damon's girlfriend, there is a picture lf them kissing on facebook. I don't know why but it made me feel sick and even though I had never properly met her I knew I wouldn't like her. The boys started bumping fists with Damon and the girls were all flirting with him, did they have no shame? Then I saw Damon's girlfriend attention fall to me and walked over to me, she was wearing a tight vest top which showed off her cleavage and a short skirt with black pointy heels on. "Hello, you must be Elena. I've heard so much about you, Damon says you're like a little sister to him." she says like I'm a little kid, it hurts hearing that he see's me as a sister since I've never or ever will look at him like a brother. I smile sweetly at her "No, just best friends." I reply "Aww, that's so cute." she chuckled while squeezing my cheeks, I pulled away from her. I watched her roll her eyes and strutted over to Damon who was now sitting down on a wall, she sat on him like she was straddlering him. It made me feel sick, I turned from them and walked to the school doors, talk about being there for me I sighed to myself.
It was lunch time and I had already made a friend and an enemy, oh how I love high school. I walked into the canteen and grabbed my lunch with my new friend Poppy. She has long, blonde hair, is tanned skin and has bright blue eyes. I would call her pretty, after paying for our food we looked around the canteen for a table, my eyes locked with Damon's who started signalling me over but than I saw his girlfriend and her friends sit down. I looked away like I didn't see him and spotted a table over near the window. Me and Poppy walked over there and sat down "Why didn't we go and sit with Damon Salvatore? I heard his one of the most popular boys in this school, and his not only rich but his hot too." she gushed. I looked down at my plate "Yeah I know, his my best friend." I heard Poppy's fork drop on the table and looked up to her with her mouth open "So why the hell are we sitting over here for?!" she demanded. "Because his girlfriend doesn't like me and I don't wanna cause any bother." I admitted. "That's because she thinks your competition, I know I have only just met you but you are one of the prettiest girls in this school. You know how you didn't want to cause any bother? Well Damon is on his way over." she whispers with excitement in her voice. Before I can even prepare myself, I feel him slide into the seat next to me and watch Poppy staring at him. I feel him glaring at him, wait why is he glaring at me, I'm in trouble, I slowly look up at him "Why did you just ignore me? And don't you dare say I don't know what you're talking about." he asked with anger in his voice, ah now I know why I'm in trouble. I swallow the food in my mouth slowly, trying to think of something but the truth "I didn't want to intrude on you and your girlfriend." I blurt out, oh shoot the truth, he looks at me and the anger leaves his eyes "You would never intrude on anything." he whispers "Then how comes you wouldn't have me hanging about with you this summer?" I spit, oh shoot the truth again. I hear him sigh and he looks like he wants to tell me something but puts it aside "Never mind, catch you later." he says while standing up, he winks at Poppy and walks away. "His so dreamy" she gushes, I roll my eyes and go back to my lunch wondering why didn't he want me with him this summer.
