AN: Okey for those who are from a country where 21 is legal age just ignore the fact that she bought a house and got herself enrolled in school. I thought about Stefan knowing her and helping her with stuff but then she would find out the truth about herself way too fast and besides they were on a rescue mission. Anyway here is the chapter. Enjoy. Oh and I started this fanfic with the Rose episode. ;)

I woke up at midnight. These days I just can't sleep. Since I couldn't fall back asleep I went for a walk around the town. Best to start to know this place if I'm going to stay here. I was walking for two hours when I landed at a waterfall. The moon was shining in the sky and illuminating the water. It was beautiful. I sat down by the water and watched the stars. It reminded me of the days I went camping with my parents and we sat around the campfire watching the stars. I sighed heavily. This isn't getting any easier.

After a while I heard a noise coming from the bushes.

»Am.. Hello, is anyone there? « I asked.

It was getting creepier by the minute. Maybe I shouldn't have gone for a walk at these hours. The noise didn't stop and I started to feel scared. As stupid as I am, I started to walk towards the noise when suddenly a man came out. I jumped a little.

»OH, you gave me a scare. « I said while panting.

I looked at the guy. He looked pretty hot but I would have to see him in the sunlight to be sure. Something about him still gave me the creeps but at the same time it allured me to him.

»Sorry about that. I didn't mean to scare you. « He answered very sweetly, a little too sweet for my taste.

»It's okay. At least I didn't have a heartatack. « I smiled at him.

»So tell me girl, what brings you here to the falls at this hour? « He came a little closer.

»Shouldn't I ask you that? « I wasn't about to tell a stranger my whole ordeal.

»I guess you should. Damon Salvatore. « He presented himself and offered his hand.

»Aeliana Winston. « I said and shook his hand.

»Well Aeliana nice to meet you. I'm sure we will see each other again« He said and disappeared in a blink.

What the hell did just happen? Where did he go? I must be still half asleep to think he disappeared in thin air. After that I went home.

It was still too early for me to go to the grill and maybe enroll myself into the school, so I did some cleaning around the house. At around 8 am I left the house and went to the grill. Matt wasn't working today. I guess he's at school. I sat down at the bar and had some coffee. While I was sipping the coffee I was thinking through what I should do now. I suppose a job search is in order. Maybe they need more help at the grill. I will later ask Matt about it. More time I spend there more I started to realize I have to enroll myself at the high school. With that thought in my mind I went home to pick up all the needed paperwork and went to the school.

It wasn't easy but I did it. I'm officially a student at Mystic Falls High school. Since the school just started the clerk gave me the schedule and set me off to my classes. My first class was history with a guy named Alaric Saltzman. Hmm he does has an interesting name. I knocked on the door and went in.

»Hi. Can I help you? « A brown haired guy in a leather jacket asked me. I guess he's the teacher, a hot teacher. I smiled at that thought.

»Am, hi... I'm your new student. Aeliana Winston« I felt so awkward under the stares of the other students.

»Well take a seat then. I'm Alaric Saltzman. Please call me Alaric. «

I nodded and took a seat behind a brown haired girl with brown eyes who looked really familiar. Have I seen her before? Hmm probably not. The lesson was boring as hell. I never liked history very much. There's just too many facts.

When it was time for lunch I went to a picnic table and sat down. I looked around and watched the people go past me. In a corner I spotted Matt with some other guys. He looked at me and smiled. I waved at him and after a minute or two he came to me.

»Hi. I see you got enrolled. « I smiled. Such a nice guy.

»Yeah, had to fill my time with something. «

»So, how do you enjoy your time here? «

»It isn't that bad. Hey, I wanted to ask you something«

Better to ask now about the job than later in case I forget.

»Shoot. «

»Do you know if they are hiring at the Grill? Cause I really need a job now. You know the bills and other stuff«

»They are always looking for help. I can give a word out for you if you want. «

»Oh that would be great Matt. Thank you so much. « I hugged him excitedly.

We talked for some time when a blonde girl came to us. She was very pretty.

»Hi, Matt. Who is the girl you are talking to? « She asked.

»Oh, hi Caroline. This is Aeliana. She is new to town. « He introduced me. She offered her hand and I shook it.

»Caroline Forbes. So, Aeliana what brings you here, to this town? « I smiled. She seemed really nice.

»I needed a change and Mystic Falls seemed like a good choice. «

»Well then if you are going to stay, you need to get familiar with the people here. Why don't you come to the Grill after school, you could hang out with us and some friends if you want? «

I took some seconds to think about it and it sounded like a good idea.

»Why not. It's sure gonna be better than hanging out all by myself at home. «

»That's the spirit. «

We talked some bit more and then parted on our separate ways. I think this is a beginning of a great friendship.

AN: I know, I know, there isn't anything related to the episode but I have to slowly make a way for her into the gang.

Just one or two more chapters and then I will start writing more important details from episodes with her in it.

Be patient and I hope you enjoy it. I would love some reviews so I can make this fanfic better. By by till next time.
