Author's Note: Hey guys, sorry for the last chapter, I know it wasn't that good, but I'm hoping this one is at least a little better (Arielle finally meets our favorite group of people ;)) also, I don't really know the characters schedules or teachers (besides Alaric) so, I'm sorry if It's wrong. Anyway, enjoy! (:
Disclaimer (just realizing I forgot this): I don't own Vampire Diaries or any of the characters: I only own Arielle (:
Arielle POV
I was walking down the halls… lost. Of course, just my luck. I get lost on the first day before I even get my class schedule. I stopped, looked around, and sighed before starting to walk again with just one thought floating through my mind 'I have no idea where I am'… at least that was what was in my mind before I somehow ran right into someone… now the only thought in my head was 'I need to stop day dreaming!'. Seeing a hand reach down, I grabbed it appreciatively and heaved myself up. When I looked up, I saw a pretty girl with blonde hair smiling. I smiled back and, letting my manners kick in, said "Thanks and sorry about that, it was all my fault."
Caroline POV
I was on my way to my first class, science; I had this class alone so I was walking by myself. I turned another corner and saw a really pretty girl with dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. She was looking around like she was lost, I decided since I didn't really want to go to class, I would go see if I could help. I was walking up to her when I noticed she seemed distracted, suddenly I we both ran into each other. Luckily since I was a vampire, I used my reflexes to get up quickly and reach a hand down to help her.
When I pulled her up I was just about to speak when she spoke up first. "Thanks and sorry about that, it was all my fault." She said with a small laugh. I smiled at the happiness yet nervousness coming from her. "Oh, it's all right, besides you seem a little distracted anyways" I said. She smiled and laughed, "Yeah, it's kind of my first day here." She said then paused, "I'm sorry I'm being rude, I'm Arielle" she said as she reached out her hand. I shook her hand and laughed "I'm Caroline." I said and paused, remembering why I came to her in the first place. "Do you need some help? You look a little lost." I asked trying not to sound rude. She laughed and with a smile she replied "Actually yes, do you know where the front office is?" I smiled and told her where to go. "Thanks, I almost thought I would be lost all day." She said as I looked at the clock and noticed the bell about to ring. "Oh it's fine. I've got to go, but I'll see you later" I said as I started to walk away. She smiled and waved as she walked away also. 'Wow' I thought 'She seemed cool, I should introduce her to the others' Suddenly I heard the bell go off 'Oh crap! I'm late!' I thought as I finally reached the science room door.
Normal POV
'Weird' Arielle thought as she walked to the office. 'I'm usually not that outgoing'. It was true though. Before her mom died she was always loud and making everybody laugh from her amount of energy, but after that night at the police office, she had become very quiet and withdrawn. Not really speaking unless she really knew who she was talking to. Christopher had always wondered what actually made her become like this, but just figured it was from the trauma of seeing her mother die in front of her. Arielle had always been a sensitive girl but after the break in and her mom dying, she always seemed to be on high alert of letting people know the real her.
She was suddenly thrown out of her thoughts by the voice of the secretary. "Can I help you Miss?" She asked in a gentle voice. Arielle answered with a smile, "Umm, yes my name is Arielle, I need my class schedule." The woman typed something in on her computer and looked back up at Arielle, "Arielle Selipion?" she asked as Arielle nodded she typed something else in and walked out of the room. Arielle waited for a few minutes till the secretary came back in holding a piece of paper. "Alright here is your schedule, so you need anyone to show you to your classes?" she asked handing her the paper. Arielle smiled as she shook her head. "It's fine I can find them, but thanks for your help." she said as she waved and started to walk away. The secretary gave a small wave back and smiled, "If you need any help, come see me." Arielle smiled and walked out the door. She looked down at her schedule and started walking to her class. 'Hmm.' She thought, 'Science.'
Caroline POV
I was sitting at my table not really listening to the teacher explain the lab we were going to do. My partner is sick today to I'm working alone. I was working on getting my supplies when the door opened. "Hi, sorry I'm late" I heard a familiar voice say "This is my first day and I kind of got lost." I turned around to see the girl I had bumped into earlier, Arielle. "Oh it's fine" our science teacher, Ms. Cannae, said "You may work with Caroline for today" As she said this I let out a sigh a relief, I wouldn'tbe alone for this class, and better yet, someone I knew… or at least relatively knew.
One Hour Later- Caroline POV
Eventually the class was over and as it turns out, Arielle was actually really good at science. We ended up getting an A on the lab. Anyways, I was walking out of the classroom, to go meet Elena, Bonnie, and Tyler when I saw Arielle staying to clean up the science room. I was a little confused considering this was the seniors' free period… shouldn't she be with her friends? I suddenly realized she was brand new here, she didn't have any friends. So as I walked up to her, I decided to introduce her to mine. "Hey" I said as I came up to her, "Do you want to come meet my friends?" She remained silent as if thinking it out very carefully in her head. She hesitated as she started to speak, "Umm… I don't think that's the best- "Oh come on!" I said, interrupting her, "You'll love them!" With that said, I started dragging her out of the classroom.
Arielle POV
Before I could protest, Caroline started to drag me out of classroom. She pretty much kept pulling me until a small group came into view. As Caroline saw them, she started to slow down. She finally stopped in front of them and they turned around to see us. I noticed that there was four of them; a girl with long dark brown hair and brown eyes, a dark skinned girl with brown hair and eyes, a boy with tan skin and dark brown hair and eyes, a boy with dark brown hair and eyes, and a boy with blonde hair and blue eyes.
"Hey Caroline" the blonde boy greeted, and paused as glanced at me, "Who's this?" he asked. "Guys" Caroline started, "This is Arielle, today is her first day in Mystic Falls." She smiled as she pointed to the girl with dark brown hair, "That is Elena." She paused and pointed to the dark skinned girl, "That is Bonnie" she smiled over at the tan boy, "That is Tyler, my boyfriend" as she was saying this, using my werewolf nose, I could smell a weird smell from him, sort of wolfy. Though I quickly pushed that thought out of my mind, I mean it was impossible right? Caroline moved her hand and pointed to the dark haired boy "That is Jeremy, Elena's brother. And finally that is Matt." She said pointing to the blonde boy.
"Hi" Elena said as she smiled, "Your name is Arielle right?" I nodded and looked to the ground; it's kind of a habit of mine… I guess I'm a little bit shy. Bonnie laughed and looked over to me "You don't talk much do you?" she asked, I shrugged and kept my gaze to the ground. I noticed Elena was about to say something else when my phone started to ring. I looked at the caller ID and noticed it was Christopher. I looked back up at them and spoke softly, "I'm sorry, but I have to take this." They all nodded as Jeremy spoke up, "We can wait for you if you want" he said. I shook my head and smiled lightly, "It's fine, I'll just catch up with you guys later." "Well ok then, We'll see you later" Bonnie smiled. I nodded and pulled out my phone, starting to walk away. As I looked over my shoulder I saw Tyler staring at me strangely.
I pulled my phone to my ear and started talking to my brother. "Hello?" I said, slightly confused; he usually didn't call me just randomly. "Hey little sister." I heard my brother say "What's up?" I looked at my phone puzzled, he definitely didn't call just to ask; what's up. "What's this about Chris? You know I'm in school." I said getting right to the point. "Okay, okay well you know how you moved to Mystic Falls right?" he asked. "No really?" I said with sarcasm in my tone. It was his fault for asking a stupid question. "No need for the sarcasm, just wanted to tell you that you're not the only werewolf there." He said with annoyance. I paused for a second taking in what he actually said, "Wait, what? There are more of me?" To say I was shocked, was an understatement. "Yes, there is so keep your eyes peeled and nose always smelling. You might want to know who these other wolves are." As he said this, I sighed, "Okay Chris. I'll be on the lookout." "Okay, bye Ari." He said using my nickname. "Later Bro." I said hanging up.
Throughout that entire conversation, I kept thinking about that scent that I got from Tyler. As I started to think about it more, I started to think more and more. 'Is Tyler like me, is he a werewolf?'
A Few Minutes Earlier- Tyler POV
I was talking to Elena, Bonnie, Jeremy, and Matt when I saw Caroline dragging a girl over to us. I smiled as she stopped in front of us grinning. "Hey Caroline" Matt said and paused when he saw the other girl "Who's this?" I was curious too. I suddenly started get a weird scent from the girl… I couldn't quite place it. "Guys" Caroline started, snapping me out of my thoughts, "This is Arielle, today is her first day in Mystic Falls." She said still smiling. While she started introducing us, I was still getting that scent from Arielle. 'What is that?' I couldn't stop thinking. I had only smelt that a handful of times, mainly just around other werewolves—'Wait,' I thought 'Is she a werewolf?' She didn't exactly seem like she was part of a pack but she had such a distinctive scent. She, Caroline, Elena, and Bonnie started talking right when a phone went off. A few moments later Arielle said took out her phone and looked a little shocked before talking again "I have to take this" she said softly. Jeremy offered to wait for her but she declined saying that she would just see us later. As she walked off, I got the strange smell again and couldn't help but stare at her confused. She looked over her shoulder and I think she saw the look on my face because she walked away quickly. I started thinking about the way the smelt and got more and more confused. 'Arielle couldn't be a werewolf… could she?' I paused and shook my head. 'No… there's no way…I must have been smelling things.' I thought as I laughed slightly, 'Yeah… just smelling things…'
Author's Note: So yeah there's that chapter… hope it makes up for the last one. This has been my longest so far… over 2,000 words. Anyways the next chapter will probably be out tomorrow or the next day because I'm on winter break and have too much time on my hands. Well on that note, see ya next chapter(:
