Chapter 2: New Girl

Elena slowly began to awaken from her dreams. She lay on her back and stretched very inch of her body before rubbing the sleep away from the corners of her eyes and sitting up in bed. "Here we go." Elena whispered to herself.

She dragged herself out of bed and headed towards the en suite bathroom, which she shared with her brother, to get ready for the first day of a new school and a new year.

An hour later Elena had finished her hair and makeup, got dressed into a pair of denim skinny jeans, purple v-neck t-shirt and a cream leather jacket with brown, leather ankle boots, and packed her bag for the school day. Elena took a glance in the mirror at the top of the stairs, her chocolate brown, wavy hair fell perfectly down her back and over her shoulders, shaping around her face perfectly. Elena Gilbert was a vision of beauty and she didn't even have to try.

Elena walked into the kitchen where her mother, Miranda, had made pancakes for her and Jeremy before they left for school. She sat down on one of the bar stools while Miranda poured a mug of coffee for herself. "Good morning sweetheart, sleep well?" Her mother asked.

Elena picked a pancake up from the pile and placed it on the plate in front of her before pouring herself a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice from the jug. "Good morning and yeah fine." Elena responded tiredly.

Miranda leaned on the counter directly opposite Elena holding onto her hot mug with both hands. "I know you probably aren't looking forward to your first day at a new school but trust me you'll be fine," Miranda said reassuringly. "They'll be lucky to have you," she added.

Elena sighed, "I hope so," taking a sip of her orange juice and eating her pancake.

Moments later Jeremy ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. He walked straight over to the counter poured himself some orange juice and grabbed a slice of toast on the plate next to the pancakes. Miranda new Jeremy wasn't too keen on pancakes so she put some toast in for him.

"Somebody's excited to go to school," Elena giggled as Jeremy stared at her for a second before exiting into the hallway.

"Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning," Miranda whispered to her daughter and they both laughed a little not wanting Jeremy to hear them.

Jeremy came back into the kitchen. "You ready to go yet?" Jeremy asked eagerly.

"Yeah, let me just grab my bag." Elena said while picking her bag up from the bottom of the stairs.

Their mother kissed both of them on the cheek and waved them off as Elena drove herself and her brother to their new school.

Elena drove her car into the parking lot of Mystic Falls High School. She was thankful that she instantly found a parking space for her car. Elena became mesmerized by the sight of the car parked in the next space from her own. The car was a light blue 1969 Chevrolet Camaro SS convertible; however the roof of it was up. Elena couldn't keep her eyes of such an amazing. In the past she never had an interest in cars but this car jumped out at her, she was amazed by it and thought who owned it was very lucky.

Elena and Jeremy had been in the principal's office for a greeting and to get their class schedules and locker numbers. They soon parted ways as their lockers where on different parts of the hallway.

As Elena walked down the hallway she felt all eyes turn on her as she passed. She tried to remain looking confident and pretend she hadn't heard the wolf whistling. Elena grew apprehensive when she was passing a group of boys all in the same coloured football shirt, they were obviously on the football team Elena thought, making her feel a lot more nervous.

As she was passing she sensed that they were staring at her, she heard a few whistles and some of them saying 'wow' and 'oh my god' this didn't make her feel any better.

Elena distinctly heard a very velvety voice speak. "Who was that?" She heard the voice asking in amazement and wonder to one of the other boys in the group.

Elena never once glanced in their direction or show them that she could hear what they were saying and carried on walking towards her locker trying her best to avoid the crowd as she occasionally was bumped into.

Elena walked into her first class of the day, History. There was a man leaning on his desk reading from a piece of paper in his hand. He hand sandy coloured hair and bright hazel eyes, he didn't look much older than mid twenties.

Elena approached the teacher and he looked up when he could sense someone standing in front of him. "Hey there," he said while Elena gave him the piece of paper from the principal. "So Elena Gilbert, yeah?" he asked for confirmation.

Elena cleared her throat. "Yes Sir," she answered sweetly to give him a good first impression.

He looked up from the piece of paper, handing it back to Elena, and smiling friendly at her. "Welcome to Mystic Falls Elena," he said before standing up straight from his desk. "Okay, settle down guys," the class slowly grew silent and stared at Elena who was stood next to Alaric who turned his attention to her, "Why don't you go and take a seat over there next to Caroline." Alaric pointed to a blonde girl with light blue eyes and a perky, bright smile across her face. She was also wearing a skimpy red and white cheerleading uniform. She didn't seem to mind Elena going to sit by her as Elena walked over and sat down.

Caroline immediately turned her attention to Elena as she sat down beside her. "Hey, I'm Caroline Forbes," she introduced with a bold smile.

Elena returned a friendly smile back. "I'm Elena Gilbert," introducing herself also.

"I really hope you like it here," she beamed. "You probably will everyone is generally nice, there's always a few who aren't but what can't you do?" Caroline giggled a little while Elena smiled. "What's your next class?" Caroline asked.

Elena checked her schedule. "Um... Biology," Elena replied.

Caroline's smile left her face. "Oh, I have Chemistry," the blonde sighed, clearly disappointed. All of a sudden Caroline bounced and a smile returned to her face, "Bonnie..." she shouted. A confused look came across Elena's face as she arched her eye brow. Caroline giggled, "Bonnie, she's my best friend, she has Biology, and you'll be with her. Tell her you and I have History together," she cheered. "Better yet I'll text her and let her know." Elena didn't have time to respond as Caroline already had her phone hidden under the desk and was texting Bonnie.

Elena was overwhelmed by Caroline however she enjoyed her positive and bubbly personality which seemed to make her giggle a lot as Caroline would just randomly blurt things out that made no sense.

Caroline turned her whole body around in her chair to face Elena. "I don't want you to think I'm a creep or pervert but I thought I'd ask...do you do gymnastics or athletics?" She asked, "It's just you have the body frame for it so I was wondering..." Caroline trailed off.

Elena smiled awkwardly at the question but new that was what she was like. "I use to be a cheerleader in my old school," Elena replied with a smile.

Caroline let out a quiet squeal, "Oh my god," she beamed. "We have an opening on the squad and try outs are next week. You should try out. Next Wednesday and Thursday 4:00pm to 5:30, is that okay?"

"Yeah sure, why not and yeah it's fine," Elena responded happily.

The teacher had been talking at the front of the class while Caroline and Elena had been talking, he realised that they weren't paying attention "If you girls are quite finished chit chatting it would be great if you could pay a little attention." he said with a smile, showing he wasn't being too serious.

"Sorry Mr Saltzman," Caroline said and turned to face her teacher.

"As long as you're listening now, then its fine," he grinned. "Where was I, yes, I know that I thought some of you last year but I also see some new faces. So for those of you who don't know me my name is Alaric Saltzman," he wrote his name on the board. "Today I'll just go over this year's syllabus; you can have an easy lesson. Just make sure you write notes down because I might ask you questions." Alaric warned.

Everyone started to talk out a notebook from inside their bags and turned to the front again to pay attention to Alaric.
