It turned that Elena and Jeremy's parents' car went to the bottom of the lake and they had drown, but Elena had somehow got out. I don't know how. The weird thing was that it gave us something to bond over. Said accident also made me think of Marissa's death. I know that wasn't an accident, but she died in a car just the same. I also decided to quit smoking.

The summer eventually passed and I was preparing for the first day of my senior year. I really didn't spend much time with Jeremy. I know he hooked up with some new senior, who happened to be the older sister of Matt, Elena's ex-boyfriend who she broke up with after the accident.

I currently had my car parked outside of Elena's house as I waited for her to come out. Considering that I was right down the street from her, it made more sense for me to pick her up than Bonnie.

"So do you have any idea what I'm in for?" Elena asked.

"I was not in the situation that you're about to be in." I reminded her. "I went to boarding school the year before Marissa died. I didn't know anyone at Harbor."

"Thanks for being such a good friend for me." She replied. "It's nice to know that I have someone who has actually been through what I'm going through. Jeremy's basically shutting everyone out right now. So how did you get through it?"

"Well I had a lot of people helping me. I essentially had two not-blood related older sisters living with me and an older brother figure. So what I'm saying is let your friends help you through it." I suggested.

"Well maybe I'll meet some cute new guy that will help me get through it." She joked.

"Yeah, I tried that and he turned out to be gay." I responded. "I knew it from the moment that he wouldn't kiss me."

"Because obviously any guy that won't kiss you is gay." Elena quipped.

"I do think you should be looking for a new guy." I responded. "You and Matt were rocky before the accident and you have successfully skipped the rebound stage by waiting a few months and when you get with him, you need to tell me all of the details. We are going to have a kickass year. I know it."

We walked into the school where we met up with Bonnie.

"I'm so glad you're here. I really want to tell you about how my crazy Grams says I'm a witch." She declared.

"You can tell me all about it at lunch." Elena stated.

"So do you see the shower curtain on Kelly Beech? She looks like a…can I still say tranny mess?" Bonnie asked.

"No." I answered.

"So need to find a man and coin a phrase." Bonnie remarked. "Looks like it's gonna be a busy year."

We walked by the attendance office and happened to catch a guy with a very nice butt in a pair of jeans.

"Who is that?" Bonnie inquired.

"All I see is back." Elena declared.

"Yeah, but it's a very hot back." I commented.

At that time we saw Jeremy walk by looking glazed out of his mind. I really haven't seen him not stoned and I'm pretty sure that's a bad thing. Elena chased after him, even going into the men's room.

"So what's this about being a witch?" I asked Bonnie.

"Grams teaches a class at Whitmore about witchcraft and she says that I'm one too. I am kind of psychic. I predicted Obama."

"Well that's not hard. I think the younger guy always wins." I stated.

So when we got to History. I could see that the new guy had a cute face to go allow with his nice butt. I'm sure that there would be a competition among the girls of the school to see who could win his heart. I wasn't paying any attention what our teacher Mr. Tanner was saying. I was thinking I didn't want to be in a competition, but if I was, I was going to win. That's just how it is for me.

After school, I offered to give Elena a ride home, but she decided to go to the cemetery. I've been there. Well, not at the local cemetery, but I've been at the stage where I would go there on days. I went home and there was my dad to greet me.

"How was school?" He asked.

"It was pretty average." I answered. "I'm probably going to be at the Grill for dinner tonight. Are you gonna be okay by yourself?"

"Yeah." He answered. "I'm just happy that you made some friends. Your mom said that you didn't have many of those."

"I had friends. She just didn't like them." I declared as I looked out the window. "You know I miss being able to go in the pool every day."

"Why don't you join the swim team?" He suggested.

"Bathing caps and one-pieces aren't really my style." I told him.

That night I went to meet Bonnie and Caroline. Just after I arrived, I noticed Elena walk in with new guy. I guess she was in the lead.

"Stefan, these are my friends: Bonnie, Caroline, and Kaitlin." Elena introduced. I couldn't help but notice him staring at me. I wasn't going after him if Elena liked him. "This is Stefan Salvatore."

We all took a seat at a table.

"So you were born in Mystic Falls?" Caroline asked him.

"Yeah, I moved when I was little." He answered.

"Guess that makes me the only one who wasn't." I remarked. "I moved here from California a few months ago."

"So what about your parents?" Bonnie asked him.

"My parents are dead." Stefan answered. "I live with my uncle."

"I'm sorry." Elena said.

"Any siblings?" Caroline inquired. I guess that means that he has some, but doesn't talk to them.

"None that I talk to." Stefan replied.

"So, Stefan since you're new, you don't know about the party tomorrow night." Caroline replied. I hoped this party would go better than the last one.

"It's this back-to-school thing at the falls." Bonnie added.

"Are you going?" He asked Elena flirtatiously. Yeah, she is so winning.

"Of course she is." I replied.

The following day in class in class Mr. Tanner was being his regular douchebag self. He was talking about some irrelevant Civil War battle.

"Who can tell me how many people died? Miss Cooper?" He questioned.

"You should ask someone from here who cares about local history." I responded. He then said some pretty rude things to Elena. If I didn't think that I would be expelled, I would have got up and slapped him. Stefan managed to answer the question and also make a fool out of him at the same time. I approved of this.

That night, I went to the party. I smiled as Elena arrived. I don't know if I would get much time with her. I imagine that she'd want to hang out with Stefan. That wouldn't leave me with much. Maybe Jeremy wouldn't be high for once and I could talk to him.

"So have you seen Stefan yet?" I asked.

"No." She responded.

"Well then I guess you haven't looked behind you." I remarked as I spotted him. "I'll give you two some time alone"

I decided to walk around the party with a beer bottle in my hand. I decided that I wouldn't drive home so I could get drunk. I found Jeremy sitting over by the picnic tables.

"How's it going?" I asked. He didn't answer and I noticed him looking over to Vicki and Tyler Lockwood. Tyler was that jock that was a total asshole, kind of how my sister's ex-boyfriend Luke was before everyone found his dad was gay and he moved to Portland. I was friends with his brothers.

"Why do you care about her?" I asked. "She seems like she's kind of a slut."

"It's not something that you'd understand." He said as the two of them went out into the woods to make out. Jeremy got up and followed them. That was kind of perverted and stalkerish.

I sighed and walked across the grass to where Matt was standing. I noticed Elena and Stefan were on a bridge. I wondering if she was saying anything about me right now.

After a little while, Jeremy and Tyler came back but Vicki didn't. Jeremy went out again and Elena followed after him. A few minutes later, the two of them came out carrying Vicki's unconscious body. It looked like something bit her neck. Things got frantic in a hurry.

No POV

Stefan went home and ran upstairs. He happened to find someone in his room.

"Hello, Brother." The man greeted him.

"What are you doing here?" Stefan asked his brother.

"I couldn't miss your first day." His brother replied.

"It's been 15 years, Damon." Stefan pointed out.

"Thank God. That grunge look did not suit you." Damon responded.

"Why are you here?" Stefan repeated.

"I could ask you the same thing but I know the answer: Elena. She's a dead ringer for Katherine. Of course she's not the only one. Kaitlin is also a spitting image of Clara."

Kaitlin's POV

Some paramedics arrived on the scene and took Vicki, as well as Matt to the hospital. The cops also showed up and made sure to get rid of the bottle I had been holding. I decided to see if Jeremy was okay. He looked pretty shaken. I also wanted to see if Elena was. It seemed like they were.

I then went to the Grill with Caroline and Bonnie. Caroline was basically bawling from being rejected by Stefan. It probably had something to do with her being drunk.

"Are you going to be okay?" Bonnie asked her.

"Yeah." Caroline answered.

After Bonnie left, the two of us noticed a very hot guy across the restaurant. He was definitely older, but I liked older men. He smiled at us.

"I call dibs." Caroline and I both said at the same time. Although before we could even decide, he was gone.

So I decided on a love triangle between Jeremy, Kaitlin, and Damon. Kaitlin liking Damon would be perfectly in canon for her. Also Kaitlin is a doppelganger but is she related to Elena? Also Marissa will appear as a vampire at some point, but I haven't decided when. Please don't forget to review.
